An efficient [2 + 2 + 2] benzannulation of phthalic acids/anhydrides with two alkynes was developed for synthesis of multisubstituted 1-naphthoic acids via Ru-catalyzed C-H activation. The reaction preceded well using atmospheric oxygen as the sole oxidant with high atom/step economies. Facilitated by the free carboxyl group, the products can be easily converted to diverse polycyclic molecules.

The nickel catalyzed multi-component cross-electrophile carbonylation which emerges as a powerful and efficient method for constructing diverse ketones has attracted increasing attention of organic chemists. However, the selectivity of this reaction poses a significant challenge. In this work, we have developed a current-regulated selective nickel-catalyzed electroreductive cross-electrophile carbonylation, which offers a direct convergent synthesis of β/γ-hydroxy ketones, which represent pivotal structural motifs found in numerous natural products, bioactive molecules, pharmaceutical compounds, and essential building blocks.

Thieno[3,2-]thiophenes are used as key components in optoelectronic materials, porous hydrogen-storage hosts, organic solar cells, and polymer semiconductors. A step-efficient synthetic protocol was proposed herein for obtaining multisubstituted thieno[3,2-]thiophene and selenopheno[3,2-]selenophenes in moderate to good yields via the bisulfur/biselenium cyclization of alkynyl diols with I/NaSO or selenium. Using this strategy, substitution patterns were obtained for backbone modification in functional materials.

Multisubstituted piperidines are prevalent units in pharmaceuticals. Herein, a photodriven anti-Markovnikov hydroaminative cyclization of a ()/()-isomeric mixture of trisubstituted alkenes using the lactate-derived -symmetric arylthiol catalyst was developed for the synthesis of -2,3-disubstituted piperidines and azepane in high diastereoselectivity and good yields. The origin of diastereoselectivity and the observed different hydroamination rate of alkene with different configurations were elucidated by the experimental and computational investigation.

Molecular editing of quinazolinones to isoquinolines by a novel ruthenium-catalyzed [4+2] annulation with sulfoxonium ylides has been developed. The method permits the precise and rapid assembly of multisubstituted aminoisoquinolines, a class of heterocycles that play a privileged role in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical development. This new catalytic process exhibits novel programmability, including directed C-H acetylation, nucleophilic cyclization, and alcoholysis.
