By virtue of an efficient rhodium(III)-catalyzed redox-neutral C-H activation/ring-opening of a strained ring/[4+2] annulation cascade of N-methoxybenzamides with propargyl cycloalkanols, diverse 3-acyl isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones were directly obtained in good yields and with excellent functional group compatibility. Additionally, their antitumor activities against various human cancer cells including HepG2, A549, MCF-7 and SH-SY5Y were evaluated and the action mechanism of the selected compound was also investigated in vitro. The results revealed that these products possessed a potent efficacy, by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner, suggesting that such compounds can serve as promising candidates for anti lung cancer drug discovery.

Complementary methods toward the selective functionalization of indole and oxindole frameworks employing an alternative strategy in heteroaryl C-H functionalizations are presented herein. This work focuses on a catalyst-controlled, site selective C-H activation/functionalization of 3-acyl indoles, wherein an amide serves as a robust and versatile directing group capable of undergoing concomitant 1,2-acyl translocation/C-H functionalization in the presence of a Rh/Ag co-catalysts to provide the cross-coupled adducts in high yields. In contrast, the use of Ir/Ag catalysts subverted the 1,2-acyl migration to afford the corresponding C2-functionalized products in good to excellent yields.

One of the main challenges in oligosaccharide synthesis is the stereoselective introduction of the glycosidic bond. In order to understand and control glycosylation reactions, thorough mechanistic studies are required. Reaction intermediates found by NMR spectroscopy often cannot explain the glycosylation's stereochemical outcome.

The precise asymmetric photochemical transformation of organic compounds containing multiple reactive sites presents significant progress in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report an unprecedented visible-light-induced cascade transformation of tropolone cyclic triene derivatives by using chiral photoactive metal-organic cages (cPMOCs) as enzyme-mimicking multipocket photocatalysts. The cage-confined photocatalysis promotes three successive elementary steps, .

An intramolecular iodine(III)-mediated keto-oximation of -alkynyl hydroxylamines offers rapid and straightforward access to 3-acyl Δ-isoxazolines and 1,2-oxazines. This approach features mild, metal-free, and aerobic reaction conditions with good functional group tolerance. Moreover, the synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of unique structural motifs such as isoxazolidine, 3-vinyl isoxazoline, and 2,5-diphenylpyrazine derivatives by the conversion of 3-acyl Δ-isoxazolines, thereby showcasing its efficiency and applicability in synthetic chemistry.
