A synthesis of iodo-substituted dibenzocyclohepten-5-ones by the iodine monochloride (or iodine)-induced intramolecular 7-endo-dig cyclization of 1-([1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)alkynones is reported. Detailed investigations on the substituent effects during the electrophilic iodocyclization of the alkynones show that they play a crucial role in determining the reaction pathways of the cyclization. By modifying the substitution pattern on the alkynone substrates, the cyclization takes place regioselectively, leading to either dibenzocyclohepten-5-ones, via a 7-endo-dig cyclization, or spiroconjugated compounds, via a 6-endo-dig cyclization.

Electrophile-promoted cyclizations of functionalized alkynes offer a useful tool for constructing halogen-substituted heterocycles primed for further derivatization. Preinstallation of an iodo-substituent at the alkyne prior to iodo-cyclization opens access to di-iodinated heterocyclic precursors for the preparation of unsymmetrical heterocycle-fused enediynes. This general approach was used to prepare 2,3-diiodobenzothiophene, 2,3-diiodoindole, and 2,3-diiodobenzofuran, a useful family of substrates for systematic studies of the role of heteroatoms on the regioselectivity of cross-coupling reactions.

A general electrophilic iodocyclization/nucleophile addition cascade transformation for 1,2-alkynediones for the synthesis of various oxygen heterocycles and access to regioselective alkyne hydroxylation is reported. Furan-tethered ynediones resulted in the construction of -enol ethers via carbonyl-alkyne cyclization-initiated heteroarene dearomatization, whereas other (hetero)arene-, alkenyl-, and alkyl-tethered ynediones resulted in the formation of highly functionalized 3(2)-furanones. Importantly, the developed domino protocols involve the construction of important heterocyclic scaffolds and installation of two functional groups in a single operation.

Anionic salicylimine-based cobalt (III) complexes featuring chiral ligands derived from isoleucine amino acids were used as efficient bifunctional phase-transfer catalysts for electrophilic iodination of enol ethers. The Brønsted acids of these complexes enabled the enantioselective asymmetric iodocyclization of enol ethers, furnishing spiro-fused oxazoline derivatives in high yields with up to 90:10 er. In addition, chiral cobalt (III) complexes catalyze the asymmetric intermolecular iodoacetalization of enol ethers with various alcohols to afford 3-iodoacetal derivatives in high yields with up to 92:8 er.

Carbazoles are privileged nitrogen heterocycles that are present in a wide range of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials. Due to their wide application, various synthetic strategies are available in the literature using substituted amines or indoles as a substrate. Thus, this review comprehensively highlights the (2015-2019) article that focuses on the synthesis of carbazoles derived from an indole-template through transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalization, metal-free cyclization, three-component reaction, and electrophilic iodocyclizations.

The synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[]thiophenes with selective placement of a chlorine moiety at the 3 position while maintaining diversity at the 2 position has only been accomplished by a handful of conditions in the past. The development of a greener, less expensive, and simpler method is paramount for the exploration of innovative compounds for application in medicinal and materials chemistry. Herein, the first reported copper-catalyzed electrophilic chlorocyclization method was developed and employed across diverse substrates to generate highly functionalized 2,3-disubstituted benzo[]thiophenes and 2,3,5-trisubstituted thiophenes in very high yields.
