An efficient AgOTf catalyzed tandem intramolecular transannulation of ((2-alkynyl)aryl)cyclopropyl ketones leading to the 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b]furans has been developed. The reaction features a regioselective alkyne hydration, cyclopropylketone-2,3-dyhydrofuran rearrangement, and benzannulation. The methodology gives direct access to the tricyclic core structure of biologically important 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,2-b]furan natural products.

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.

The reactivity of readily available 4,5-fused-1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles was examined in the Rh(II)-catalyzed transannulation reaction with nitriles. We have come across the interesting observation that 1-sulfonyl cycloalkeno[][1,2,3]triazoles that possess β-hydrogens resist intramolecular β-hydride migration and could serve as a new source of Rh-iminocarbenoids for intermolecular Rh(II)-catalyzed transannulation reactions. As a result, 1-sulfonyl cyclohexeno-, cyclohepteno-, dihydropyrano-, 5-phenyltetrahydrobenzo-, and 4,5-dihydronaphtho[]imidazoles were synthesized from various nitriles in good yields.

Dihydronaphthofurans (DHNs) are an important class of arene ring-fused furans which are widely found in many natural and non-natural products and drug candidates with relevant biological and pharmacological activities. Furthermore, vinylidene-naphthofurans exhibit photochromic properties when exposed to UV or sun light at room temperature. For these reasons, a vast array of synthetic procedures for the preparation of dihydronaphthofurans including annulation of naphthols with various reagents, cycloaddition reactions ([3 + 2], [4 + 1] and Diels-Alder), intramolecular transannulation, Friedel-Crafts, Wittig, Claisen rearrangement, neophyl rearrangement and other reactions under various conditions have been developed over the past decades.
