A CuI-catalyzed tandem reaction of 5-(2-bromoaryl)-N-aryl-1H-pyrazol-3-amines with active acetonitrile derivatives to prepare pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in good to excellent yields has been successfully developed under mild conditions with heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) as new ligands. This is the first time HKAs have been used as ligands for copper-catalyzed coupling reactions.

Radical Cascade Reaction of Heterocyclic Ketene Aminals with Thiocyanates Promoted by Visible Light: Synthesis of Functionalized Fused 2-Iminothiazolines.

Herein, a visible-light-promoted radical cascade cyclization of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) and thiocyanates was developed to access functionalized fused 2-iminothiazolines. This novel cascade reaction can be realized under only visible-light irradiation without the help of external photocatalysts, oxidants, and additives. These multicomponent cascade reactions demonstrate excellent selectivity for the -isomers and ensure the formation of the products only in their isomeric form.

We developed a protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized 5,6-dihydro-imidazo[1,2-][1,2,3]triazole derivatives - (DHITs) from 1-diazonaphthalen-2(1)-one derivatives with heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs). This strategy involved cycloaddition and skeletal rearrangement entailing the heating of a mixture of substrates with HKAs - and THF without any catalyst. As a result, a series of DHITs - were produced by cleaving one bond (1 C═N bond) and forming three bonds (1 N-N and 2 C-N bonds) in a single step.

N-heterocyclic compounds are important molecular scaffolds in the search for new drugs, since most drugs contain heterocyclic moieties in their molecular structure, and some of these classes of heterocycles are able to provide ligands for two or more biological targets. Ketene dithioacetals are important building blocks in organic synthesis and are widely used in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds. In this work, we used double vinylic substitution reactions on ketene dithioacetals to synthesize a small library of heterocyclic derivatives and evaluated their cytotoxic activity in breast and ovarian cancer cells, identifying two benzoxazoles with good potency and selectivity.

A diazo approach toward functionalized naphtho[1,2-]imidazole derivatives has been developed. It involved a new reaction of arylamidines with 2-(α-diazoacyl)-2-azirines giving 5-aryl-4-(α-diazoacyl)-1-imidazoles under mild conditions in good yields. The mechanism of annulation of azirines with amidines is discussed based on DFT calculations.

Acyl ketenes react with polar unsaturated functional groups to give unique heterocyclic rings, yet reactions with unpolarized unsaturated functional groups have not been reported. Herein, we describe two effective ring-forming reactions between acetyl ketene and electron-deficient alkynes. The first reaction involves in situ tethering between acetyl ketene and nucleophile-containing 1,3-diynones, which promotes sequential intramolecular 1,6/1,4-additions to generate 2-methylene-2-pyrans in various yields (24-91%).
