Nickel-catalyzed transannulation reactions triggered by the extrusion of small gaseous molecules have emerged as a powerful strategy for the efficient construction of heterocyclic compounds. However, their use in asymmetric synthesis remains challenging because of the difficulty in controlling stereo- and regioselectivity. Herein, we report the first nickel-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of N-N atropisomers by the denitrogenative transannulation of benzotriazones with alkynes.

Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed intramolecular denitrogenative dual annulation reaction of aryl nitrile-containing 1,2,3-benzotriazine-4(3)-ones to synthesize polycyclic pyrroloquinazolinones with a tolerance of a wide diversity of substituents. This catalytic reaction is the first denitrogenative transannulation of 1,2,3-benzotriazine-4(3)-one with nitrile, which can be applied as the critical step to synthesize luotonin A with a high step economy.

A palladium-catalyzed denitrogenative transannulation strategy to access various 3-substituted isocoumarin-1-imine frameworks using 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones and terminal alkynes is described. The reaction is highly regioselective and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. The reaction is believed to proceed via a five-membered palladacycle intermediate extruding environmentally benign molecular nitrogen as a by-product.

An expedient synthesis of benzo[][1,2]dithiol-3-ones via metal-free denitrogenative transannulation of benzotriazinones is developed, which represents the first example of acid-mediated heteroannulation of benzotriazinones. This newly discovered reactivity of benzotriazinones enables the streamline synthesis of diverse benzo[][1,2]dithiol-3-ones in decent yields by using sodium sulfide as the sulfur source under simple reaction conditions.

Nitrogen-based heterocycles are an important class of structural scaffolds distributed in biologically active natural products, medicinal chemistry, and agrochemicals. Hence, there is increasing interest in the development of novel synthetic strategies for the construction of these privileged structural motifs. Recently, 3-aminoindazoles have emerged as versatile synthons participating in a variety of condensation annulation, denitrogenative transannulation and rearrangement ring expansion reactions, which provide efficient synthetic routes for the formation of nitrogen heterocycles.
