A new multicomponent domino reaction for rapid and regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized benzo[h]naphtho[2,3-a]acridine-15,16(5H,14H)-diones has been established. The reaction can be conducted by using readily available and inexpensive substrates under microwave irradiation. The procedures are facile, avoiding timeconsuming and costly syntheses, tedious work-up and purifications of precursors as well as protection/deprotection of functional groups. This method is much more efficient due to short reaction times and easy work up. The resulting naphthoacridines have been readily converted into benzoquinoxaline-fused benzoquinoline analogues by treating with benzene-1,2-diamine under microwave irradiation. The structural assignment has been ambiguously confirmed by X-ray analysis. A new mechanism has been proposed for this new multicomponent domino process.

Herein, we present an unprecedented electrochemical reductive cyclizative carboxylation of -vinylphenyl isocyanides with carbon dioxide achieved without the use of metal catalysts. This protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance, facilitating the rapid assembly of 2-oxoindolin-3-acetic acids in good to high yields with excellent regioselectivity. Furthermore, these structural motifs may have potential applications in formal synthesis of bioactive natural products.

ConspectusIn the past decade, single-atom skeletal editing, which involves the precise insertion, deletion, or exchange of single atoms in the core skeleton of a molecule, has emerged as a promising synthetic strategy for the rapid construction or diversification of complex molecules without laborious synthetic processes. Among them, carbene-initiated skeletal editing is particularly appealing due to the ready availability and diverse reactivities of carbene species. The initial endeavors to modify the core skeleton of heteroarenes through carbon-atom insertion could date back to 1881, when Ciamician and Denstedt described the conversion of pyrroles to pyridines by trapping haloform-derived free carbene.

Theoretical Insight into the Multiple Roles of the Silyl-Phenanthroline Ligand in Ir-Catalyzed C(sp)-H Borylation.

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China.

Silyl-phenanthroline (NN'Si) ligand ancillary iridium-catalyzed C(sp)-H borylation is investigated theoretically. Density functional theory calculations clearly disclose that the (NN'Si)Ir(H)(Bpin) (NN'Si = 6-[(di--butylsilyl)methyl]-1,10-phenanthroline) complex is a resting state, and the (NN'Si)Ir(Bpin) complex serves as an active species in the catalytic cycle. The remarkably high activity of this type of a catalyst arises from the rapid reductive elimination of HBpin from (NN'Si)Ir(H)(Bpin) to generate the active species (NN'Si)Ir(Bpin).
