Various 2-amino-3-cyanoindoles are synthesized through copper catalyzed intramolecular N-arylations of ketene aminals at room temperature for the first time with 60-99% yields within 0.1-2 h. Controlled regioselective N-arylations of unsymmetrical ketene aminals are also studied. Further, a new double heteroannulation approach is demonstrated for the synthesis of 11-aminoindolo[2,3- b]quinolines from acyclic and nonheterocyclic precursors.

2-Chloro-1-(1-ethoxyvinyl)pyridinium triflate and several other bench-stable -(1-alkoxyvinyl) 2-halopyridinium triflates have been developed as reagents for the synthesis of valuable 2-aminopyridine scaffolds via unusually mild SAr substitutions with amine nucleophiles. Advantages of this approach include an operationally simple mix-and-stir procedure at room temperature or mild heat and ambient atmosphere and without the need for transition metal catalysts, coupling reagents, or high-boiling solvents. The stable -(1-ethoxyvinyl) moiety serves as a dual SAr-activating group and pyridine -protecting group that can be cleaved under thermal, acidic, or oxidative conditions.

An eco-friendly selective hydrolysis of chain α-oxo ketene ,-acetals in water for the switchable synthesis of β-keto thioesters and β-keto amides is reported. In refluxing water, the hydrolysis reactions of α-oxo ketene ,-acetals in the presence of 1.0 equiv of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid effectively afforded β-keto thioesters in excellent yield, while β-keto amides were successfully obtained in excellent yield when the hydrolysis reactions were carried out in the presence of 3.

Radical Cascade Reaction of Heterocyclic Ketene Aminals with Thiocyanates Promoted by Visible Light: Synthesis of Functionalized Fused 2-Iminothiazolines.

Herein, a visible-light-promoted radical cascade cyclization of heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs) and thiocyanates was developed to access functionalized fused 2-iminothiazolines. This novel cascade reaction can be realized under only visible-light irradiation without the help of external photocatalysts, oxidants, and additives. These multicomponent cascade reactions demonstrate excellent selectivity for the -isomers and ensure the formation of the products only in their isomeric form.

Cycloaddition and Skeleton Rearrangement of Heterocyclic Ketene Aminals (HKAs) with 1-Diazonaphthalen-2(1)-ones for the Synthesis of Functionalized 1,2,3-Triazoles.

We developed a protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized 5,6-dihydro-imidazo[1,2-][1,2,3]triazole derivatives - (DHITs) from 1-diazonaphthalen-2(1)-one derivatives with heterocyclic ketene aminals (HKAs). This strategy involved cycloaddition and skeletal rearrangement entailing the heating of a mixture of substrates with HKAs - and THF without any catalyst. As a result, a series of DHITs - were produced by cleaving one bond (1 C═N bond) and forming three bonds (1 N-N and 2 C-N bonds) in a single step.

Nitrones are widely used as 1,3-dipoles in organic synthesis, but control of their reactions is not always easy. This review outlines our efforts to make the reactions of nitrones more predictable and easier to use. These efforts can be categorized into (1) 1,3-nucleophilic addition reaction of ketene silyl acetals to nitrones, (2) geometry-controlled cycloaddition of C-alkoxycarbonyl nitrones, (3) stereo-controlled cycloaddition using double asymmetric induction, and (4) generation of nitrones by N-selective modification of oximes.
