A highly diastereoselective approach for the rapid construction of an isochroman skeleton was achieved by the copper(ii)-catalyzed transformation of alcohol-tethered enones and diazo compounds. This transformation was proposed to proceed through the intramolecular Michael-type trapping of an in situ generated oxonium ylide intermediate. The copper(ii) catalyst may play a dual role in catalyzing diazo decomposition as well as activating the enone unit. With this method, a series of 3,4-substituted isochromans were obtained with excellent diastereoselectivities under very mild reaction conditions.

A facile one-pot synthesis of five- and six-membered fused dihydropyridines such as chromenodihydropyridines, pyrazolodihydropyridines and isoxazolopyridines was accomplished for the first time by employing PPh-NBS a formal [3 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of 1,3-bisnucleophiles (, 2-aminochromone, 4-aminochromone, 5-aminopyrazole and 5-aminoisoxazole), β-enaminones and aldehydes in aqueous medium. The present approach involves a Michael type addition followed by intramolecular cyclization leading to the formation of two new C-C bonds and one C-N bond. High compatibility and excellent yields are the advantages of this protocol.

The synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyrazino[1,2-]indol-4(1)-ones from the sequential reaction of amino acid methyl esters with readily available indole-2-ylmethyl acetates is described. The reaction proceeds under basic conditions of highly unstable and reactive 2-alkylideneindolenines followed by Michael-type addition of α-amino acid methyl esters/intramolecular cyclization.

A rhodium(III)-catalyzed controllable [4 + 1] and [4 + 2] annulation of -aryl pyrazolones with maleimides as C1 and C2 synthon has been explored for the synthesis of spiro[pyrazolo[1,2-]indazole-pyrrolidines] and fused pyrazolopyrrolo cinnolines. The product selectivity was achieved through time-dependent annulation. The [4 + 1] annulation reaction involves sequential Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H alkenylation of -aryl pyrazolone, followed by an intramolecular spirocyclization via aza-Michael-type addition to afford spiro[pyrazolo[1,2-]indazole-pyrrolidine].

A new class of Michael acceptor, tetrazolyl-trifluoromethyl alkenes, has been discovered. They readily undergo Michael-type addition instead of addition-elimination reaction with aliphatic amines and azoles to furnish β-trifluoromethyl alkylamines and CF-substituted 1,2-bisazole derivatives, respectively. Additionally, some of the products are capable of engaging in microwave-assisted intramolecular denitrogenative annulation, leading to the formation of CF-substituted 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazines that are otherwise difficult to access by other methodologies.

A convenient and efficient annulation reaction has been developed for the general synthesis of dinitrile-substituted cyclopropanes in moderate to excellent yields. A variety of 2-arylacetonitriles and α-bromoennitriles were compatible under the standard conditions. The reaction was achieved through tandem Michael-type addition followed by intramolecular cyclization.
