Base-Controlled Synthesis of Heteroatom-Embedded 9-Membered Cycloalkynes and 6-Membered Sultams through Copper-Catalyzed Cyclization.
J Org Chem

A facile copper-catalyzed, base-controlled cyclization reaction has been developed for the synthesis of 9-membered cycloalkyne and 6-membered heterocycle sultams under mild conditions. This protocol utilizes a copper-catalyzed intramolecular A (alkyne-aldehyde-amine) coupling reaction to efficiently synthesize 9-membered cycloalkyne sultams in yields up to 90%. Alternatively, by substituting NaHCO with DBU, the protocol achieves selective deprotection of the -propargyl group, thereby facilitating the formation of 6-membered heterocyclic sultams, also in high yields.

A copper-catalyzed regioselective annulation reaction, conducted without ligands or oxidants, has been developed for the preparation of multisubstituted furans from the readily available starting materials, β-keto esters and propargyl acetates. This process accommodates a wide range of functional groups, resulting in furan skeletons with diverse substitution patterns. The method's potential synthetic utility is highlighted by its applicability in gram-scale preparations and late-stage modifications of natural products.

A method for synthesizing allenylselenides has been developed using readily available propargyl carbonate and phenylselenol. The reaction is catalyzed by Ni(II) and proceeds a migratory insertion and β-oxygen elimination mechanism. Due to the strong interaction between Se and Ni leading to catalyst deactivation, zinc salt was used to mitigate the deleterious effects of Se anions on the catalyst, thereby facilitating the successful synthesis of the target products.

Hyperpolarization of small peptides by parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) to increase the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques is well established, while its application to larger biopolymers is still a mainly unexplored area. A particular challenge is the presence of folding-essential disulfide bridges. They tend to form metal complexes, thus hampering catalytic hydrogenation, a prerequisite for PHIP.

The fused eight-membered carbocycles (EMCs) play vital roles in the medicinal and biological investigations of many natural products and marketed drugs. The traditional synthesis of [6-8-6] benzo-fused derivatives involves multistep reactions and low yields, making the development of a one-step synthesis method a more challenging work. Here, we present a novel strategy for one-step construction of [6-8-6] benzo-fused scaffold from propargyl diazoacetates substituted with benzyl-nitrogen heterocyclic ring via Rh(ll)-catalyzed carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM) and selective C-H bond insertion.
