A direct synthesis of tropones (2,4,6-cycloheptatrienes) from simple preorganized triynes has been elaborated. This simple rhodium-catalyzed domino strategy allows one-pot access to fully substituted tropones in a 6-6-7-5 tetracyclic core in average to high yields.

We investigated the reactivity of a -dichlorovinyl-carbazole precursor in the on-surface synthesis approach. Our findings reveal that, on the Au(111) surface, the thermally-induced dehalogenation reaction led to the formation of cumulene dimers. Contrastingly, the more reactive Cu(111) surface promoted the formation of a polyheterocyclic compound exhibiting extended aromaticity.

Compounds containing N-pyridylpyrazole motif have aroused interest and brought about research hotspots due to their highly-efficient insecticidal activity. The fungicidal potential of N-pyridylpyrazole derivatives has gradually been disclosed in recent years. To discover new agrochemicals with poly-heterocyclic features, a series of novel triazole thione/thioether derivatives containing pyridylpyrazole motif (8-11) was synthesized.

Article Synopsis
- Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for many biological functions and diseases, making them important but challenging targets for drug development.
- Traditional drug discovery has focused on enzymes and receptors, which have smaller binding sites, leaving a gap in strategies to successfully target PPIs.
- To overcome these challenges, a new strategy called privileged substructure-based diversity-oriented synthesis (pDOS) was developed, incorporating pyrimidine-based compounds to create diverse chemical structures that can effectively interfere with PPIs, including inhibiting the interaction between human ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

The reaction of indigo with two equivalents of the electrophile ethyl bromoacetate with caesium carbonate as a base result in the formation of structurally complex polyheterocyclics, including a fused spiroimidazole and a spiro[1,3]oxazino derivative, together with a biindigoid-type derivative, through a convenient one-pot reaction. Further assessment of the reaction using five equivalents of the electrophile gave rise to other molecules incorporating the 2-(7,13,14-trioxo-6,7,13,14-tetrahydropyrazino[1,2-:4,3-']diindol-6-yl) scaffold. The reaction of ethyl bromoacetate with the less reactive indirubin resulted in the synthesis of three derivatives of a new class of polyheterocyclic system via a cascade process, although yields were low.

Article Synopsis
- Dearomative cycloadditions provide a quick way to create complex 3D molecular structures through rehybridization of aromatic ring atoms.
- This study presents a method that completely depletes the π-system of a benzenoid aromatic pendant in a single photochemical process.
- The technique combines multiple cycloadditions to convert the aromatic structure into a saturated sp-rich scaffold, allowing for effective exploration of new chemical properties and compounds.
