Published: October 2019

A novel Zn(OAc)-catalyzed three-component tandem cyclization reaction of isocyanides, α-diazoketones and anhydrides has been developed. The reaction demonstrates the wide scope of substrates and provides a novel and efficient strategy for the synthesis of polysubstituted maleimides from readily available substrates in a single step.

The Pd-catalyzed multicomponent tandem reaction of β-ketonitriles, arylboronic acids and DMSO was efficiently developed, enabling access to a variety of poly substituted pyridines. The protocol shows excellent chemoselectivity, generating nicotinonitriles or symmetrical tetrasubstituted pyridines under different conditions by tandem cyclization of enaminone intermediates with β-ketonitriles or enolates, respectively, and does not require extra ammonias. This method boasts notable advantages, such as the use of commercially available or easily prepared substrates, simple conditions, a broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance.

A visible-light-induced deoxygenative alkylation/cyclization of acrylamides with alcohols activated by CS has been developed by using xanthate salts as alkyl radical precursors in the presence of tricyclohexylphosphine. It proceeds through a tandem radical addition/cyclization process, and this protocol provides a reliable and practical approach to building the skeleton of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles in moderate to good yields. Notable features of this reaction include readily available starting reagents, broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions.

We report a visible-light-assisted tandem oxidative 5--dig cyclization of 1,6-enynes for the synthesis of aminated C-3 aryloylated benzofuran, furopyridine, benzothiophene, and indole derivatives. The nitrogen-centered radical generated in situ from -aminopyridinium salt initiates the consecutive formation of C-N, C-C, and C-O bonds. The methodology exhibits good functional group tolerance and regioselectivity, furnishing products in good to excellent yields at room temperature.

The cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds and their subsequent reassembly into highly functionalized and useful molecules in an atom-efficient manner has always been a central focus in the realm of organic synthesis. In this report, we describe the construction of highly functionalized naphthol esters via a tandem reassembly process, driven by Ullmann-type coupling of enaminones and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Mechanistic investigations suggest the involvement of C(sp)-C(sp) coupling, cyclization, two acyl migrations, aromatization, and additional transformations within this tandem sequence.
