The synthesis of cyclic alkenyl halides (mainly fluorides, chlorides and bromides) from alkynol or enyne derivatives by an acid-mediated cationic cyclisation reaction is disclosed. This high-yielding, scalable and technically simple method complements and challenges conventional methodologies. This study includes the development of biomimetic cationic cyclisation reactions of polyenyne derivatives to give interesting halogen-containing polycyclic compounds. The application of this reaction in the key step of the synthesis of two terpenes, namely austrodoral and pallescensin A, and the potent odorant 9-epi-Ambrox demonstrates the potential of the reaction for natural product synthesis.

We describe the synthesis, solid state and electronic structures of a series of tunable five-membered cationic and charge-neutral inorganic heterocycles featuring a PCN core. 1-Aza-2,3,4-triphospholenium cations [(PR)N(H)CR'], [1] (R' = Me, Ph, 4-MeOCH, 4-CFCH) were formed as triflate salts by the formal [3 + 2]-cyclisation reactions of strained cyclic triphosphanes (PR) (R = Bu, 2,4,6-MeCH (Mes), 2,6- PrCH (Dipp), 2,4,6- PrCH (Tipp)) with nitriles R'CN in the presence of triflic acid. The corresponding neutral free bases (PR)NCR' (2) were readily obtained by subsequent deprotonation with NEt.

The diterpene synthase AfAS was identified from Aspergillus fumigatiaffinis. Its amino acid sequence and-according to a structural model-active site architecture are highly similar to those of the fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene synthase PaFS, but AfAS produces a structurally much more complex diterpene with a novel 6-5-5-5 tetracyclic skeleton called asperfumene. The cyclisation mechanism of AfAS was elucidated through isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations.

We report the syntheses of tin(II) salts of the types [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{(i-PrO)(O)P}CHN: 1, X=Cl; 2, X=Br], [LSnCl]SnCl [L=2-{(i-PrO)Ph(O)P}-6-{(i-PrO)(O)P}CHN: 3], [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{MeO(O)C}CHN: 4, X=Cl; 5, X=Br], [LSnX]SnX [L=2,6-{EtN(O)C}CHN: 6, X=Cl; 7, X=Br]. These compounds were obtained by addition of SnX to the corresponding ligand inducing autoionization of the respective tin(II) halide. The thermal stability of 1, 3, and 4 was elucidated, giving, under ester cleavage and cyclisation, the tin(II) derivatives 8-12.

A π-Lewis acidic metal-catalysed cyclisation/photochemical radical addition sequence was developed, which utilises generated 2-benzopyrylium cation intermediates as photoredox catalysts and electrophilic substrates to form 1-isochromene derivatives in good yields in most cases. The key 2-benzopyrylium intermediates were generated through the activation of the alkyne moiety of -carbonyl alkynylbenzene derivatives by such π-Lewis acidic metal catalysts as AgNTf and Cu(NTf), and the subsequent intramolecular cyclisation and proto-demetalation using trifluoroacetic acid. Further photo-excitation of the 2-benzopyrylium intermediates facilitated single-electron transfer from a benzyltrimethylsilane derivative as a donor molecule to promote the radical addition of arylmethyl radicals to the 2-benzopyrylium intermediates.

A novel hexadentate bishydrazone ligand, 1,10-bis(di(2-pyridyl)ketone) adipic acid dihydrazone (HL) is synthesized and characterized. With copper perchlorate as a catalytic oxidant, the ligand undergoes oxidative cyclisation and resulted in the formation of an unusual copper complex [Cu(L)Cl]ClO (1), where L is 3-(2-pyridyl)triazolo[1,5-a]-pyridine. The Cu(II) complex was characterized physicochemically, while the molecular structure was confirmed by single crystal X- ray diffraction.
