Readily available 1-mesyl-1,2,3-triazoles are efficiently converted into a variety of imidazolones and thiazoles by Rh(II)-catalyzed denitrogenative reactions with isocyanates and isothiocyanates, respectively. The proposed triazole-diazoimine equilibrium results in the formation of highly reactive azavinyl metal-carbenes, which react with heterocumulenes causing an apparent swap of 1,2,3-triazole core for another heterocycle.

Copper(I) complexes of isobutyl- () and isopropyl-substituted () proazaphosphatranes have been synthesized. Structural and computational studies of a series of monomeric complexes CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) and dimeric [CuCl] provide insight into the transannulation within and steric properties of the proazaphosphatrane ligand. These halide complexes are competent precatalysts in a model borylation reaction, and the silylamido complex CuN(TMS) catalyzes hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde under mild conditions.

The construction of a chemical library based on natural products is a promising method for the synthesis of natural product-like compounds. In this study, we synthesized a terpenoid alkaloid-like compound library based on the humulene skeleton. Our strategy, which enables access to diverse ring systems such as 11-membered monocyclic, oxabicyclic, and medium-sized aza ring-containing scaffolds, involves the introduction of a nitrogen atom, an intermolecular C-O bond formation via Lewis acid-mediated epoxide-opening transannulation, and a ring-reconstruction strategy based on olefin metathesis.
