Detailed in this account are our efforts toward efficient oxacycle syntheses. Two complementary approaches are discussed, with both employing chemoselective allyl ether activation and rearrangement as the key step. Vinyl substituted oxiranes and oxetanes provide a single step access to dihydropyrans and tetrahydrooxepines. Oxiranes proved to be poor substrates, while oxetanes were slightly better. An alternative approach using substituted allyl ethers proved successful and addressed the limitations encountered in the ring expansions.

A Rh(OAc) catalyzed intermolecular aldol-type interception of phenolic oxonium ylides with isatins has been developed, which provides an effective access to 2,2-disubstituted dihydrobenzofuran derivatives containing 3-hydroxyoxindole in high yields and with high diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. The antiproliferation activity of these synthesized dihydrobenzofuran and 3-hydroxyoxindole hybrid products has been tested the CCK8 assay in different cancer cell lines; compounds 3s and 3t exhibit good anticancer potency against human colon cancer cells (HCT116 cells, 3s: IC = 15.99 μM; 3t: IC = 14.

Gold(I)-catalyzed formal [4+2] cycloaddition of O-aryl ynol ethers 1 and enol ethers 2 is described. This intermolecular reaction between two electron-rich unsaturated systems takes place, under mild conditions, in the presence of 5 mol% [IPrAu(CH CN)]SbF as catalyst giving chromene derivatives with good yields. The cycloaddition is completely regio- and stereoselective, as well as versatile for both reactives.

We report herein a rapid access to 3-indolyl-1-trifluoromethyl-isobenzofurans via a [1,4]-hydride shift/cyclizatin/intermolecular nucleophilic addition reaction sequence. In this process, a Lewis acid promoted internal redox reaction ([1,4]-hydride shift/cyclization) followed by a Brønsted acid promoted intermolecular reaction (generation of cyclic oxonium cation/intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction) occurred to give various 3-indolyl-1-trifluoromethyl-isobenzofurans in good chemical yields.

1,3-Dipoles are commonly used in [3+2] cycloadditions, whereas isoelectronic uncharged dipole variants remain underdeveloped. In contrast to conventional 1,3-dipoles, uncharged dipole equivalents form zwitterionic cycloadducts, which can be exploited to build further molecular complexity. In this work, the first cycloadditions of oxygen-substituted isocyanates (O-isocyanates) were studied experimentally and by DFT calculations.

Metal-ligand coordination interactions are usually much stronger than weak intermolecular interactions. Nevertheless, here, we show experimental evidence and theoretical confirmation of a very rare example where metal-ligand bonds dissociate in an irreversible way, helped by a large number of weak intermolecular interactions that surpass the energy of the metal-ligand bond. Thus, we describe the design and synthesis of trinuclear MnFe complex {[Mn(L)(HO)]Fe(CN)}, starting from a mononuclear Mn(III)-Schiff base complex: [Mn(L)(HO)Cl] () and [Fe(CN)] anions.
