An iodine-mediated oxidative [4+1] cyclization of enamines with TMSN for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted imidazole-4-carboxylic derivatives has been developed. The mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds through a sequential removal of two nitrogen atoms from TMSN. The synthetic utility was further demonstrated with a gram-scale reaction and various derivatization transformations of the products.

An iron(III)-mediated nucleophilic cascade cyclization of -propiolyl enamides with various diselenides was developed, which provides an efficient way to construct seleno-heterocycles. A mechanism study shows that the cascade process involves the selective addition of diselenides to the C≡C bond generating a seleniranium ion, followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of enaminic carbon of tertiary enamide. Utilizing this protocol, a variety of 3-seleno-2-pyridones were successfully synthesized featuring good functional group compatibility and simple operation.

A photoinduced three-component radical addition-aminalization cascade was accomplished, enabling rapid assembly of a wide range of densely functionalized γ-lactams. Key to this transformation is the electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) generation of enamine and in situ trapping of an iminium intermediate with bromodifluoroacetamide. This rationally designed protocol fully takes advantage of the polarity crossover (enamine-iminium) in the process, providing the modular assembly of previously inaccessible scaffolds.

Remarkable progress has been made in the radical cascade cyclization of heteroaryl- or aryl-tethered alkenes to construct benzene-fused frameworks via the cracking of aryl C-H bonds. In contrast, the radical cascade cyclization of linear dienes through the cracking of vinyl C-H bonds to construct nonbenzene-fused ring frameworks with endocyclic double bonds has significantly lagged behind, and major advances have largely been restricted to the generation of 5-membered heterocycles, such as pyrrolinones. Herein, we report the silver-mediated regioselective sulfonylation-cyclization of linear dienes with sodium sulfinates to form sulfonylated 6- and 7-membered cyclic enamines.

This study presents the synthesis of novel naphthofurano-iminosugars () using 2,3--isopropylidene D-ribose tosylate (), anilines (), and 1,4-benzoquinone () as starting materials through key iminium ion/enamine intermediates via [3 + 2] cyclization reactions at room temperature. The reaction has unique regioselectivity and stereoselectivity with moderate to excellent yields. The adaptability of this method has been demonstrated using various substituted anilines, on which both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups were well employed in the reactions.

An unprecedented eco-friendly multi-component domino reaction for the synthesis of novel ,-acetals is reported. The protocol involves sequential coupling, [1,5]-hydride transfer and hetero-Diels-Alder cyclization. This new strategy enables direct α,β-difunctionalization of cyclic amines utilizing enamines generated .
