A ligand-free copper-catalyzed tandem azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), Ullmann-type C-N coupling, and intramolecular direct arylation has been described. The designed strategy resulted in the synthesis of a novel trazole-fused azaheterocycle framework. The reaction gave good yields (59-77%) of 1,2,3-triazole-fused imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in a single step.

A one-pot, three-component synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles from terminal alkynes, salicylaldehydes, and indoles has been developed via copper-catalyzed tandem annulation. This catalytic system utilizes readily available starting materials, enabling predictable synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles with broad substrate versatility, excellent regiocontrol, and gram-scale amenability. The reaction proceeds via a sequential pathway involving A3 coupling, 1,4-conjugate addition, and 5-- cyclization.

The first successful copper-catalyzed decarboxylative cyclization reaction of ethynylbenzoxazinones and thiols has been developed. A rarely studied α-addition process to a copper-allenylidene intermediate promoted this reaction. Using this protocol, a range of 2-thiomethylene indole compounds have been obtained.

Total Synthesis of (-)-Fasicularin.

August 2024

Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Chuo University, 1-13-27 Kasuga, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112-8551, Japan.

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-fasicularin was achieved in nine steps from a commercially available inexpensive material, by leveraging (1) an aryl radical-mediated, copper-catalyzed Sonogashira-type cross-coupling, (2) a Au-catalyzed tandem intramolecular alkyne hydroamination/iminium formation/intramolecular allylation, and (3) a tandem hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis/intramolecular reductive amination as key transformations.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method was created to combine alkynylphenols with epoxides and elemental sulfur or selenium using a copper catalyst, resulting in a unique 3-chalcogen-benzofuran structure.
  • This process operates as a domino reaction, meaning it occurs in one go without needing to isolate or purify intermediates.
  • The method works well at room temperature, allowing for various sensitive functional groups and producing good yields of chalcogenation derivatives.
