In the presence of a copper(ii) catalyst, enolizable imines bearing various -substituents and α-diazo-β-ketoesters undergo denitrogenative and dehydrative condensation to afford highly substituted pyrroles in moderate to good yields with exclusive regioselectivity. The reaction likely involves nucleophilic addition of the imine nitrogen to a copper carbenoid, tautomerization of the resulting azomethine ylide to an α-enaminoketone, and a subsequent enamine-ketone cyclocondensation. With Yb(OTf) as a unique cocatalyst, α-diazo-β-diketones also participate in the same condensation reaction. The present reaction is applicable to acyclic, exocyclic, and endocyclic imines with tolerance of a broad range of functional groups and heterocyclic moieties, thus opening a new convenient route for the synthesis of the lamellarin family of natural products.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) hold promise in heterogeneous metal catalysis benefiting from their robust, crystalline, and porous structures. However, synthetic challenges persist in prolonged crystallization times, limited metal loading, and uncertain coordination environments. Here, we present the rapid crystallization and versatile metalation of new acetylhydrazone-linked COFs (AH-COFs) by condensation of ketone and hydrazide components, featuring full conversion within 30 min under open-air and mild conditions.

Mild and inexpensive copper-catalyzed aromatization-driven ring-opening amination and oxygenation of spiro dihydroquinazolinones are presented, respectively. These protocols provide facile and atom-economical access to the aminated and the carbonyl-containing quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in good yields with good functional group compatibility, which are difficult to obtain by conventional methods. Remarkably, a telescoped procedure involving the condensation and the ring-opening/functionalization for simple cycloalkanone was found to be accessible.

A facile and efficient copper-catalyzed domino-double annulation strategy was developed from easily accessible -aminobenzamides and 2-iodoisothiocyanates, which affords a direct pathway for the synthesis of tetracyclic fused 12-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[2,3-]quinazolin-12-ones in moderate to good yields without the addition of ligands, bases, and external oxidants. The reaction involves a C-N bond cleavage and the formation of a C-N/C-S bond in one step with the advantages of using an inexpensive copper catalyst and easy operation. Mechanistic studies suggest that this transformation proceeds via intermolecular condensation of -aminobenzamides with 2-iodoisothiocyanates, followed by an intramolecular Ullmann-type cross-coupling cyclization reaction.

Imines are a versatile class of chemicals with applications in pharmaceuticals and as synthetic intermediates. While imines are conventionally synthesized aldehyde-amine condensation, their direct preparation from amines can avoid the need for the independent preparation of the aldehyde coupling partner and associated constraints with regard to aldehyde storage and purification. The direct preparation of imines from amines typically utilizes transition metal catalysis and is often well-aligned with green chemistry principles.

We report on a copper-catalyzed three-component reaction for the synthesis of disubstituted nicotinonitriles using 3-bromopropenals, benzoylacetonitriles, and ammonium acetate (NHOAc). The Knoevenagel-type condensation of 3-bromopropenals with benzoylacetonitriles gives δ-bromo-2,4-dienones that contain strategically placed functional groups that react with the ammonia generated to give the corresponding azatrienes. These azatrienes can then be transformed into trisubstituted pyridines under the reaction conditions via a reaction sequence involving 6π-azaelectrocyclization and aromatization.
