N-Alkyl-N-(2-(1-arylvinyl)aryl)cinnamamides are converted into natural product inspired scaffolds via iridium photocatalyzed intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition. The protocol has a broad substrate scope, whilst operating under mild reaction conditions. Tethering four components forming a trisubstituted cyclobutane core builds rapidly high molecular complexity. Our approach allows the design and synthesis of a variety of tetrahydrocyclobuta[c]quinolin-3(1H)-ones, in yields ranging between 20-99 %, and with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the intramolecular [2+2]-cycloaddition of 1,7-enynes-after fragmentation of the cyclobutane ring-leads to enyne-metathesis-like products.

The collapse or folding of an individual polymer chain into a nanoscale particle gives rise to single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs), which share a soft nature with biological protein particles. The precise control of their properties, including morphology, internal structure, size, and deformability, are a long-standing and challenging pursuit. Herein, a new strategy based on amphiphilic alternating copolymers for producing SCNPs with ultrasmall size and uniform structure is presented.

Article Synopsis
- The synthesis of tetra-substituted pyrazoles is achieved through a new method involving organo-photocatalyzed decarboxylative intramolecular cyclization using 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes and α-ketoacids.
- This method is notable for being metal-free and oxidant-free, which results in shorter reaction times and milder conditions.
- The technique enhances the ability to create different pyrazole derivatives, broadening possibilities for future research and applications in various scientific areas.
Synthesis of 3-aminotetrahydro-1-carbazols by visible-light photocatalyzed cycloaddition of cyclopropylanilines with 2-alkenylarylisocyanides.

A visible-light-induced cycloaddition between 2-alkenylarylisocyanides and cyclopropylanilines is reported. This cascade radical reaction constructs two new C-C bonds and two rings to afford 3-aminotetrahydro-1-carbazols with high atom and step economy. The mechanism is rationalized as involving sequential distonic radical cation formation/isocyanide insertion/5--trig cyclization/intramolecular iminium ion addition/tautomerization.

Imidazolinones were obtained in good yields by intramolecular hydroamination of -alkoxy ureas in the presence of an organic photocatalyst and an inorganic base. In this reaction, the -alkoxy urea anion generated by deprotonation undergoes photocatalyzed single-electron-transfer oxidation to generate the corresponding radical, which cyclizes to afford the imidazolinone ring. This new protocol grants access to an array of complex molecules containing a privileged imidazolinone core.

A pharmacophore-directed retrosynthetic strategy was applied to the first total synthesis of the cembranoid rameswaralide in order to simultaneously achieve a total synthesis while also developing a structure-activity relationship profile throughout the synthetic effort. The synthesis utilized a Diels-Alder lactonization process, including a rare kinetic resolution to demonstrate the potential of this strategy for an enantioselective synthesis providing both the 5,5,6- and, through a ring expansion, 5,5,7-tricyclic ring systems present in several soft coral cembranoids. A pivotal synthetic intermediate, a tricyclic epoxy α-bromo cycloheptenone, displayed high cytotoxicity with interesting selectivity toward the HCT-116 colon cancer cell line.
