Cyclic diaryliodoniums remain unexplored compared to linear iodoniums. In our current work, internal alkynes were for the first time applied to react with cyclic iodoniums, catalyzed by Pd, resulting in a [4 + 2] benzannulation. Our work offers a new strategy to synthesize multi-substituted phenanthrene derivatives which are not easily accessed by conventional methods.

An efficient enantioselective coupling reaction between sulfenamides and cyclic diaryliodonium salts is established via adaptive Cu/anionic stereogenic-at-Co(III) complex combined catalysis, precisely synthesizing a broad range of axially chiral sulfilimines with excellent enantioselectivities, diastereoselectivities, regioselectivities, and chemoselectivities (67 examples under same conditions, up to 98 % ee). The following thermodynamically controlled pyramidal inversion enables efficient stereodivegent synthesis of all four stereoisomers. Mechanistic studies suggest that anionic stereogenic-at-cobalt(III) complexes serve as counteranions of diaryliodonium and anionic ligand of Cu(I) catalyst simultaneously, which could be regarded as an explanation for outstanding selectivities.

We report a Cu-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening reaction of cyclic diaryliodoniums with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), enabling the construction of axially chiral biaryl compounds containing HFIP ether. HFIP is highly polar and exceptionally stable; thus, it is commonly used as a solvent due to its poor nucleophilicity. However, its use as a nucleophilic reagent has been rare.

Pd-Catalyzed Dual C-H Activation/Cyclization: Convergent and Divergent Synthesis of 1-Azahelicenes.

Herein, we report a convergent synthesis of 1-azahelicenes using easily available quinoline derivatives and cyclic diaryliodonium salts as starting materials. This reaction undergoes a palladium-catalyzed dual C-H activation/cyclization process to give facile access to a wide range of 1-aza[5]helicenes and 1-aza[6]helicenes with abundant functional groups (including F, Cl, Br, I, CF, SeR, SR, and heteroaryl) in moderate to excellent yields, thereby providing new opportunities to fine-tune the properties of the helicene backbone. In addition, the obtained products could be further transformed into helicene-based Lewis base catalysts and redox switch materials easily.

Bipyridines represent a class of ligands renowned for their versatility and efficacy in numerous transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Chiral bipyridine ligands are noted for their distinctive reactivity and stereoselectivity. In this work, we have designed and synthesized a class of bipyridine ligands endowed with an axially chiral scaffold.

Diaryliodonium(III) salts have been established as powerful halogen-bond donors in recent years. Herein, a new structural motif for this compound class was developed: iodoloisoxazolium salts, bearing a cyclic five-membered iodolium core fused with an isoxazole ring. A derivative of this class was synthesized and investigated in the solid state by X-ray crystallography.
