A silver-catalyzed formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, with cyclopropanols as a C3 subunit and imines as a two-atom subunit, is developed. The reaction takes place under mild conditions and produces a broad array of polysubstituted pyrroles in medium to high yields. It represents the first example of oxidative radical addition to imines, thus offering a new choice for the direct C-H functionalization of imines.

We describe the synthesis and computational investigation of N-heterocycle-substituted hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes (HBCs). Following our method for the preparation of thioether-substituted HBCs, we prepared pyrrole-, indole-, carbazole-, and 1H-benz[g]indole-substituted HBCs from the corresponding fluorinated precursors under microwave irradiation. A series of polysubstituted benzoindole-HBCs with windmill architectures was also synthesized using the polyfluorinated HBC analogs, and the substituent effects on the electronic properties of the HBC core were investigated.

A copper-catalyzed efficient, operationally simple, general method for straightforward syntheses of polysubstituted pyrroles employing ethynyl methylene cyclic carbamates as precursors reacting with commercially available amines was first reported. A wide variety of polysubstituted pyrroles were obtained in acceptable to good yields under mild conditions. This protocol features broad substrate scope, high functional group tolerance, and easy operation, therefore enabling late-stage functionalization and rapid synthesis of bioactive compounds, including structurally complex marketed drugs and natural products.

We report in this paper a novel Cu-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted 1-pyrrolines. The reaction of β,γ-unsaturated oxime esters 4 with terminal alkynes 5 in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc) and 2,2'-biquinoline affords the corresponding 1,6-enynimines, which undergo a highly stereoselective Alder-ene reaction to afford 1-pyrrolines with concomitant generation of a quaternary carbon and a 2-azadiene motif. It represents an unusual [4+1] heteroannulation reaction wherein terminal alkynes act as a one carbon donor and are 1,1-difunctionalized.

Polysubstituted furans were synthesized in one-pot through the EtZn-mediated coupling reaction between dibromoketones and monobromo carbonyl compounds and the subsequent β-elimination with bromoacetyl bromide. Polysubstituted pyrroles were also prepared in one-pot by addition of primary amines after the coupling reaction.

Gold catalysis is an important method for alkyne functionalization. Here we report the gold-catalyzed formal [3+2] aminative cyclization of yndiamides and isoxazoles in a direct synthesis of polysubstituted diaminopyrroles, which are important motifs in drug discovery. Key to this process is the formation, and subsequent cyclization, of an α-imino gold Fischer carbene, which represents a new type of gold carbene intermediate.
