Cycloaddition reactions between pyridinium ylides and 3-alkenyl oxindoles that proceed in high yield and with very good regio- and diastereoselectivity are reported. The resulting cycloadducts have the same stereochemistry of biologically active oxindole alkaloids, such as strychnofoline.

DNA-compatible one-pot synthesis of multi-substituted dihydrofuran pyridinium ylide-mediated cyclization.

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

Chongqing Key Laboratory of Natural Product Synthesis and Drug Research, Innovative Drug Research Center, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chongqing University, Chongqing 401331, China.

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 effective method for the construction of functionalized indolizines has been developed in which β,β-difluoro peroxides act as novel C2-building blocks to implement [3+2] annulation with pyridinium ylides under base-mediated conditions. With this protocol, a broad range of multisubstituted indolizines were prepared in moderate to good yields under mild conditions, and many useful functional groups were tolerated.

We report a cascade approach for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyrroles derivatives via a formal [4 + 1] annulation reaction of α,β-unsaturated imines with generated pyridinium ylides. Importantly, this protocol is compatible with diverse substituted imines as well as pyridinium ylides, constructing 2,3-dihydropyrroles with excellent yield and selectivity. Thereafter, the Merrifield resin-supported pyridinium ylide as a potential C1 synthon was also employed in our strategy and reused several times, resulting in products with excellent yield and diastereoselectivity.

A pyridinium ylide-alkylation strategy has been developed for selectively accessing ,-disubstituted pyridinium salts from monosubstituted pyridinium salts possessing ambident nucleophiles. The method was shown to be tolerant toward an array of different pyridinium scaffolds and common electrophiles, enabling access to structurally diverse pyridinium salts. The potential versatility of the approach was demonstrated through the synthesis of chemically complex, heterotrifunctional pyridinium salts containing a pyridinium warhead, a click chemistry handle, and a third, high-value, payload.

Oxy-pyridinium Ylides Mediated 1,4-Pyridyl/Aryl Translocation.

Org Lett

November 2024

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Advanced Catalytic Materials & Technology, School of Petrochemical Engineering, Changzhou University, Changzhou, Jiangsu 213164, People's Republic of China.

Molecular rearrangement via carbene transfer is a powerful tool to access molecular diversity. Herein, we describe an efficient approach to selective pyridyl/aryl relocation via a rhodium-catalyzed aminoarylation of diazo compounds, providing a promising strategy to access -pyridyl N-alkylated pyridone scaffolds in a single operation. This reaction features the novel reactivity of oxy-pyridinium ylide, rhodium-associated five-membered transition state, and 1,4-pyridyl/aryl relocation.
