The Hg(II)-specific intramolecular cyclization reaction of ethynyl phenols was carried out for the first time in semiaqueous media at ambient temperature. The reaction unit (ethynyl phenol) was coupled with a malononitrile derivative (signal unit), which afforded the chromogenic Hg(II) indicator 7. The reaction of the chromogenic Hg(II) indicator 7 was further optimized in DMSO/water (3:7, v/v) (10 mM PBS buffer, pH = 7.0). Compound 7 displays a color change from blue to pale yellow in the presence of Hg(II).

Zwitterionic energetic materials offer a unique combination of high performance and stability, yet their synthesis and stability enhancement remain key challenges. In this study, we report the synthesis of a highly stable (dinitromethyl-functionalized zwitterionic compound, 1-(amino(iminio)methyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)dinitromethanide (), with a thermal decomposition temperature of 215 °C, surpassing that of most previously reported energetic monocyclic zwitterions ( < 150 °C). This compound was synthesized via intramolecular cyclization of a trinitromethyl-functionalized hydrazone precursor.

An iron(III)-mediated nucleophilic cascade cyclization of -propiolyl enamides with various diselenides was developed, which provides an efficient way to construct seleno-heterocycles. A mechanism study shows that the cascade process involves the selective addition of diselenides to the C≡C bond generating a seleniranium ion, followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of enaminic carbon of tertiary enamide. Utilizing this protocol, a variety of 3-seleno-2-pyridones were successfully synthesized featuring good functional group compatibility and simple operation.

Herein, we developed a silane-promoted cycloaddition of thiobenzhydrazides with carbon dioxide leading to 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3)-ones. This procedure involves sequential -silylation and fixation of carbon dioxide toward a hydrazine formyl intermediate, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic cyclization and aromatization. A series of functional groups are well-tolerated under this procedure.

The successful implementation of a cascade reaction involving a cyclobutyl unit has posed a significant challenge in achieving ring-retentive functionalization because of the ring's sacrificial tendency. Herein, we have accomplished a cinchona-derived squaramide-catalyzed cascade reaction sequence, encompassing the desymmetrization of cyclobutanone, followed by an aldol reaction and, subsequently, a 1,4-addition step. This overall process offers a viable strategy to access architecturally fascinating oxa-spirocycles fused with cyclobutanone motifs in good yields with high optical purity.
