A de novo synthesis of a benzene ring allows for the preparation of a diverse range of heterocycles including indoles, benzofurans, benzothiophenes, carbazoles, and dibenzofurans from simple heteroaryl propargylic esters using a unified carbonylative benzannulation strategy. Multiple substituents can be easily introduced to the C4-C7 positions of indoles and related heterocycles.

Divergent Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Bis-heteroaryl Ketones via Base-Promoted Cascade Reactions of 1,2-Alkynedione-Derived -Propargylic β-Enaminones.

Herein we disclose a transition-metal-free, one-pot two-step strategy for the synthesis of unsymmetrical bis-heteroaryl ketones. -propargylic β-enaminones generated by the Michael addition of propargylamines onto heteroaryl 1,2-alkynediones have been utilized as synthetic equivalents of pyridine or pyrrole scaffolds. The use of alcohol as a solvent resulted in the formation of 2-alkoxylated pyridine scaffold, whereas the use of DMSO promoted the formation of a pyrrole motif.

An unprecedented DDQ-mediated oxidative aromatization of 2-bezylidene-dihydrofurans yielding 2-alkenyl-furans is disclosed. Integration of this transformation with a prior Pd-catalyzed reaction of α-propargylic-β-ketoesters and (hetero)aryl halides into a one-pot cascade process opens a direct modular route to highly substituted 2-vinyl-furans. Experimental and computational studies reveal that the crucial step of the oxidative-aromatization involves facile hydride transfer from the dihydrofuran ring to the O-center of DDQ.

A novel and efficient base-catalyzed, transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of diheterocyclic compounds connected by an amidine linker, including apart from the common 1,2,3-triazole ring, either an additional pyrimidinedione, 4-nitroimidazole, isoxazole, 1,3,4-triazole, 2-oxochromone or thiazole ring, has been developed. The process was facilitated by a strong base and includes the cycloaddition reaction of 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles (2-cyanoacetamidines) to heterocyclic azides followed by a Cornforth-type rearrangement to the final products. The reaction is tolerant to various -monosubstituted 3,3-diaminoacrylonitriles and to different heterocyclic azides.

Performing asymmetric cross-coupling reactions between propargylic electrophiles and aryl nucleophiles is a well-established method to build enantioenriched benzylic alkynes. Here, a catalytic enantioselective propargyl-aryl cross-coupling between two electrophiles was achieved for the first time in a stereoconvergent manner. Propargylic chlorides were treated with aryl iodides as well as heteroaryl iodides in the presence of a chiral nickel complex, and manganese metal was used as a stoichiometric reductant, allowing for the construction of a propargyl C-aryl bond under mild conditions.
