Gold-catalyzed synthesis of nonsymmetrical heteroaryl-substituted triarylmethanes using 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones and vinyldiazo ketones is described. In this catalytic sequence, vinyldiazo ketones attack gold-containing 3-furylbenzyl cations to form the observed C(1)-addition products. We also note that vinyldiazo ketones can be thermally cyclized to yield pyrazole derivatives, which can react with 3-furylbenzyl cations to afford pyrazole-containing triarylmethanes, corresponding to a N(5)-addition path.

A visible light-promoted radical (3+3) annulation of vinyldiazo compounds and bromodifluoromethyl alkynyl ketones for the construction of -difluoro-masked -quinone methides (-QMs) is described. The reactivity of this new type of -QM precursor is demonstrated by its (4+1) cycloaddition with sulfur ylides, affording monofluorinated aromatic benzofurans by the elimination of HBr without external oxidants.

This work describes gold-catalyzed additions of vinyldiazo ketones to -(-alkynylphenyl)imines to yield 3-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-1-indoles involving skeletal rearrangement; these new catalytic reactions are applicable to a wide range of substrates. We postulate a new mechanism involving an initial addition of diazo ketones to azomethine ylide intermediates to yield gold-containing -alkylated indole intermediates that undergo proton-induced 1,3-group migrations, generating azallyl gold and allylic cation pairs.

This work reports gold-catalyzed bicyclic annulations of 2-alkynyl-1-carbonylbenzenes with vinyldiazo ketones that serve as five-atom building units. The importance of these reactions is to access 4,5-dihydro-benzo[g]indazoles, which form the structural cores of various bioactive molecules. According to our mechanistic analysis, we postulate initial [5+4]-cycloadditions between benzopyrilium intermediates and vinyldiazo ketones, followed by 6-π-electrocyclizations to achieve the excellent stereoselectivity.
