A concise copper-catalyzed N-O bond cleavage/C-C/C-N bond formation procedure has been described for the synthesis of multisubstituted pyridines. Various oxime acetates, activated methylene compounds, and a wide range of aldehydes bearing aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl, and trifluoromethyl groups were employed to provide the tri- or tetrasubstituted pyridines with flexible substitution patterns. Moreover, this method features inexpensive catalysts, no need for extra oxidant, and high step-enconomy, which make it pratical and attractive.

A Cu-catalyzed three-component cascade reaction has been developed, involving -alkynylaryl aldehydes, terminal alkynes and aliphatic/aromatic amines or diamines. This diversity oriented methodology successfully delivered a rich library of 72 molecules in good to excellent yields (yields up to 99%) through the application of an A-coupling reaction. This method is green, straightforward to execute, requires a short reaction time (2 min-4 h), does not require solvents or harsh or inert conditions, can be performed in open air, and utilizes only a small amount of a cheap and readily available catalyst (2.

The direct use of readily available aldehydes as acyl radical precursors has facilitated diverse three-component acylative difunctionalization reactions of alkenes, offering a powerful route to synthesize β-branched ketones. However, asymmetric three-component acylative difunctionalization of alkenes with aldehydes still remains elusive. Here we report a copper-catalyzed asymmetric three-component radical acylarylation of vinylarenes with aldehydes and aryl boronic acids.

Article Synopsis
  • A new cyclization reaction has been developed combining O-acyl oximes, silyl enol ethers, and elemental sulfur, producing compounds like 2-aroylnaphthothiazoles and 2-aroylbenzothienothiazoles.
  • The reaction likely proceeds via a radical mechanism with key intermediates such as S⋅ and an iminosulfur radical, leading to products through a series of steps including nucleophilic substitution and intramolecular cyclization.
  • The resulting products show promising fluorescence properties, suggesting they could have useful applications in functional materials.

Herein, we report mechanistic investigations into the Cu-catalyzed three-component carboamination of alkenes with α-halo carbonyls and aryl amines via an oxocarbenium intermediate. Monitoring the reaction reveals the formation of transient atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) intermediates with both electron-neutral and deficient vinyl arenes as well as unactivated alkenes. Based on our experimental studies and density functional theory calculations, the oxocarbenium is generated through atom transfer and subsequent intramolecular substitution.

An efficient copper-catalyzed three-component tandem reaction of alkynes, α-diazo esters, and TMSN to construct triazoles has been developed. Through this strategy, a number of diverse N-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles were conveniently obtained in moderate to good yields from simple and readily available starting materials using KCO as the base. The mechanism of the tandem Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and Cu-carbenoid-participated C-N coupling reaction has been investigated.
