Disclosed here is a new [3+2] annulation of siloxy alkynes that provides robust access to highly enantioenriched, densely-substituted pyrrolidinones and γ-butenolides, whose direct synthesis remains challenging. This process also represents a rare asymmetric synthesis of enantrioenriched molecules from siloxy alkynes.

Substantial advancements have been achieved in the field of photocatalytic borylation utilizing 4c-7e Lewis base-boryl radicals. However, the utilization of 3c-5e neutral boryl radicals for C-B bond formation remains relatively underexplored due to their inherent instability. In this study, we successfully demonstrated the direct construction of C-B bonds using sodium tetraarylborate as a key reagent.

The synthetic approach based on a sequence of Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling and annulation through intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation has been used for the construction of novel 4-alkyl-4-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-]quinoxaline derivatives. For the first time, these polycyclic compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity, including extensively drug-resistant strains. A reasonable bacteriostatic effect against HRv was demonstrated.

Efficient access to pyranoisoquinoline derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed double C-H functionalization of phenyl oxadiazoles and diazo compounds has been developed. Two C-C bonds and one C-O and C-N bond formation was realized by this tandem reaction, along with the formation of two heterocycles, affording diversified pyran-fused isoquinolines in moderate to good yields with broad functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions.

A copper-catalyzed domino addition/cyclization reaction was developed to synthesize novel benzoselenazole-linked 1,2,3-triazole and tetracyclic fused 12-benzo[4,5]selenazole[2,3-]quinazolin-12-one derivatives from isoselenocyanates. This domino reaction efficiently constructed multiple new chemical bonds in a single step, forming either four (one C-Se and three C-) or three (one C-Se and two C-) bonds. The reaction offers several key advantages, including mild conditions, broad substrate compatibility, and straightforward and safe operation.
