Biologically interesting fused oligocyclic lactams have been prepared via an intramolecular redox-neutral cyclization process. By the proper choice of the substrates with a wide variety of tethered olefins, the less favored C-H bond can be activated and functionalized. This C-H activation proceeds under mild conditions, obviates the need for external oxidants, and displays a broad scope with respect to the substituents.

5,10-Dihydroindeno[1,2-]indole has served as an important starting precursor for BARAC-fluor reagent in medicinal chemistry. Herein, an unprecedented -TsOH assisted intramolecular C2-arylation of NH-indoles via C(sp)-CN/C(sp)-H coupling, offering a series of 5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-]indoles with moderate to good yields, has been showcased under redox-neutral conditions. Furthermore, successful scalability and synthetic applications highlight the practical nature of the method.

We, herein, report a Pd(0) and Brønsted acid-catalyzed redox-neutral intramolecular -allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes for the synthesis of biologically important imidazolidinone-fused N-heterocycles. The allylation is completely atom-economical and is applicable to a wide range of substrates. The methodology eliminates the use of a leaving group or an oxidizing agent, often employed for the allylation of nucleophiles.

Despite the unique reactivity of vitamin B and its derivatives, B -dependent enzymes remain underutilized in biocatalysis. In this study, we repurposed the B -dependent transcription factor CarH to enable non-native radical cyclization reactions. An engineered variant of this enzyme, CarH*, catalyzes the formation γ- and δ-lactams through either redox-neutral or reductive ring closure with marked enhancement of reactivity and selectivity relative to the free B cofactor.
