Published: March 2013

A simple route for the synthesis of imidazole derivatives via copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction is described. This strategy has achieved high regioselectivity and used oxygen as an oxidant without the addition of expensive catalysts to provide moderate to good yields.

Synthesis of chemically diverse heterocyclic scaffolds in DNA-encoded libraries is highly demanded. We herein reported a convenient one-pot multi-component on-DNA synthetic strategy to afford multi-substituted 2,3-dihydrofuran scaffolds pyridinium ylide-mediated cyclization. This reaction exhibited modest to excellent conversions for a broad range of DNA-conjugated aldehydes, β-ketonitriles and pyridinium salts under mild reaction conditions.

An unprecedented synergistic copper- and amine-catalyzed cyclization of enynone is reported. This reaction features an efficient and straightforward construction of multisubstituted tetralone through an amine-assisted regioselective oxygen atom transfer process and stereoselective intramolecular Michael addition cyclization. Under dehydrative reaction conditions, the synthesis of tetrahydronaphthylimine derivatives with ketone group tolerance is achieved, which could be challenging via traditional methods.

A novel regioselective manganese(III)-mediated radical cascade cyclization of N-propargyl enamides with various H-phosphine oxides, H-phosphinates and H-phosphonates was developed. Mechanistic studies show that the reaction is mainly composed of the selective addition of phosphonyl radical to C≡C bond and the intramolecular 6--trig cyclization of vinyl radical. Utilizing this protocol, we successfully synthesized a diverse range of 3-phosphorylpyridines in high efficiency with good functional group compatibility and simple operation.

The catalytic indirect reductive quenching method is facilitated by a combination of Ir(III) photoredox and sulfide dual-catalysis system. This study demonstrated a method for synthesizing multi-substituted furans by using a photoredox/sulfide dual-catalysis system. This method enables the synthesis of various furan derivatives, including spirofurans and phthalans.

The enantioselective [3+2] annulation of readily accessible aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation is, in principle, a straightforward and atom-efficient route for synthesizing chiral 1-aminoindenes, which are important components in a wide array of natural products, bioactive molecules, and functional materials. However, such asymmetric transformation has remained undeveloped to date due to the lack of suitable chiral catalysts. Here, we report for the first time the enantioselective [3+2] annulation of aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation using chiral half-sandwich scandium catalysts.
