Convenient and general Hg(ii)/Pt(iv) catalyzed syntheses of γ-butyrolactams and α,β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactones/lactams are described via intramolecular electrophilic cyclizations of bromoalkynes with tosylamino and hydroxyl tethers. The reaction features the use of wet solvents, the exclusion of any base and additive, mild conditions and practical yields. We also synthesised few chiral lactams through this pathway. Additionally, it is shown that the NHTs group distanced further from the homopropargylic position assists regioselective bromoalkyne hydration to yield useful α-bromoketones. Furthermore, Boc protected bromo homo propargyl amines undergo 6-endo-dig cyclization through Boc oxygen to give bromomethylene substituted oxazinones.

Despite the remarkable advancements in hypervalent iodine chemistry, exploration of bromine and chlorine analogues remains in its infancy due to their difficult synthesis. Herein, we introduce six-membered cyclic λ3-bromanes and λ3-chloranes. Through single-crystal X-ray structural analyses and conformational studies, we delineate the crucial bonding patterns pivotal for the thermodynamic stability of these compounds.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.

Context: Isatin-Schiff bases have wide applications in chemistry. The π conjugated electronic system and heterocylic structure of these materials make them valuable for use as photosensitized materials. The delocalization of π-electrons throughout the structure causes the UV-vis absorption spectra to shift to longer wavelengths.

Article Synopsis
- The study used quantum-chemical calculations to explore how nitroalkanes activate when combined with protic acids, focusing on the Nef and Meyer reactions.
- It identified that specific cationic species, including -bis(hydroxy)iminium and -oxoiminium, form independently from nitroalkanes, and -hydroxynitrilium cations result from C-H bond cleavage in -oxoiminium.
- The findings suggest these cations are strong electrophiles that can react with nonactivated arenes under normal conditions, offering insights into the mechanisms of the Nef and Meyer reactions and hinting at possible new reaction pathways.
