A cobalt-catalyzed oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition cascades of dihydroisoquinoline esters with nitroolefins or N-sulfuryl aldimines were developed at room temperature. A multi-component reaction for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolines were also realized under almost identical conditions. This method is particularly suitable for the synthesis of tricyclic nitrogen heterocycles due to its simple manipulation, wide scope of the reaction substrates and excellent regioselectivity.

Herein, we present a sustainable and atom-economical approach for the synthesis of quinazolinones via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) using earth-abundant Co-salt, (CoCl) as the catalyst under neat condition. This method is distinguished by its green credentials, like, solvent-free, microwave-assisted heating, cost-effective, use of renewable alcohols, and generating only H and water as byproducts. Remarkably, this protocol achieves quinazolinone synthesis without the need for external ligands, oxidants, or additional additives.

Monoanionic, bidentate-auxiliary-directed, cobalt-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization has become a very useful tool in organic synthesis. A comprehensive investigation into isolated organometallic intermediates and their reactivity within the catalytic cycle is lacking. We report here mechanistic studies of cobalt-catalyzed, aminoquinoline-directed C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

Chiral allylamines are important structural components in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of imines with internal alkynes to synthesize chiral allylamines. The reaction is catalyzed by a cobalt complex derived from commercially available bisphosphine ligand utilizing zinc as the electron donor.

We report intramolecular photocatalyzed cycloisomerization of unactivated olefins with pendant nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and utilizes guanidines, ureas, isoureas, isothioureas, and carbonates to yield several different five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocycles. Use of benzothiazinoquinoxaline as an organophotocatalyst and cobalt-salen catalyst obviates the need for a stoichiometric oxidant or reductant.

A dual photoredox/cobalt-catalyzed protocol for chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective reductive coupling of 1,1-disubstituted allenes and cyclobutenes through chemo-, regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective oxidative cyclization followed by stereoselective protonation promoted by a chiral phosphine-cobalt complex is presented. Such process represents an unprecedented reaction pathway for cobalt catalysis that enables selective transformation of the less sterically congested alkenes of 1,1-disubstituted allenes with cyclobutenes, incorporating a broad scope of tetrasubstituted alkenes into the cyclobutane scaffolds in up to 86 % yield, >98 : 2 chemo- and regioselectivity, >98 : 2 dr and >99.5:0.
