Treatment of N,N-dimethyl 2-[2-(2-ethynylphenyl)ethynyl]anilines (1) with 1.2 equiv of iodine in CH(2)Cl(2) gave benzo[a]carbazoles (2) in good yields. Mechanistic studies showed this reaction must go through the haloindole (3) followed by iodonium ion catalyzed atom-transfer cyclization reaction to give the benzo[a]carbazoles.

We present a six-step cascade that converts 1,3-distyrylbenzenes (-stilbenes) into nonsymmetric pyrenes in 40-60% yields. This sequence merges photochemical steps, ,-alkene isomerization, a 6π photochemical electrocyclization (Mallory photocyclization); the new bay region cyclization, with two radical iodine-mediated aromatization steps; and an optional aryl migration. This work illustrates how the inherent challenges of engineering excited state reactivity can be addressed by logical design.

We report an iminium ion-promoted, asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes an electrocatalytic, iodine-mediated ring closure. The mild, controlled electrochemical generation of electrophilic iodine species in catalytic quantities prevents organocatalyst deactivation, while also eliminating the need for halogenating reagents, thus simplifying traditional synthetic approaches.

Iodo-sulphonylation of 1,6-enynones: a metal-free strategy to synthesize -substituted succinimides.

An iodine-mediated radical cyclization of 1,6-enynones with sulphonyl hydrazides using -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant has been developed for the synthesis of iodo-sulphonylated-succinimide derivatives. The notable advantages of the developed method are metal-free conditions, broad functional group tolerance, column chromatography-free purification, high stereoselectivity ( isomer), shorter reaction times, and the cascade construction of three new bonds (C-S, C-I, and C-C). The synthetic application of the iodo-functionality has been extended to the Heck coupling reaction with acrylonitrile and to the Suzuki coupling reaction with benzene boronic acid.

A novel multicomponent cascade cyclization and sulfenylation/selenation using aryl methyl ketones, isoquinolin-1-amine, and sodium arylsulfinates/1,2-diphenyldiselane to synthesize imidazo[2,1-]isoquinoline derivatives in one-pot via the construction of two C-N bonds and one C-S/C-Se bond has been reported. This multicomponent reaction realizes simultaneous C(sp)-H amination and sulfenylation/selenation, avoiding complicated prior substrate preparation. This process has simple operating conditions and good substrate compatibility.
