An NHC-catalyzed [2 + 4] cyclization of alkynyl ester with α,β-unsaturated ketone to form a pyran scaffold was developed successfully. The cheap and easily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, moderate to excellent yields, and high atom economy make this strategy attractive for the syntheses of highly substituted 4-pyran derivatives.

A regioselective [3 + 2] annulation of β,γ-alkynyl-α-ketimino esters with 1,3-dicarbonyls is disclosed. A series of -selective dihydrofurans bearing an exocyclic double bond and a quaternary carbon center are accessed without the usage of base. Control and deuterium-labeling experiments have been investigated to probe into the reaction mechanism.

A one-pot process was developed to synthesize in moderate to high yield a series of 2-substituted indoles and 7-azaindoles starting from 2-iodo--mesylarylamines and terminal alkynes in the presence of CuO in DMF at 90-120 °C. Without isolation of any intermediate, our optimized conditions enabled the introduction of ester, phenyl, hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, -Boc-aminomethyl, and methyl at the 2-postion of indoles and 7-azaindoles. The reaction tolerates a variety of substrates containing halogens, or acid- or base-sensitive functional groups without requiring a Pd catalyst, a ligand, or a base.

Among the known aromatic -heterocycles, pyrroles are significant and versatile privileged components in pharmacologically relevant molecules. Herein, we demonstrate a protocol for the selective construction of alkynylated pyrroles in a diversity-oriented fashion through divergent C2/C5 site-selective alkynylation of pyrrole derivatives by employing a palladium catalyst with two different solvent systems. In the presence of 1,4-dioxane, the C2-alkynylation process via chelation-assisted palladation is favored.

Article Synopsis
- The catalytic asymmetric transformation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) is an important method for creating a variety of enantioenriched molecules, but using tetrasubstituted DACs to generate products with quaternary stereocenters has been a persistent challenge.
- This study introduces a copper-catalyzed asymmetric aminative ring-opening process for tetrasubstituted alkynyl DACs that successfully produces a wide range of α-tertiary amines with high enantioselectivity.
- The resulting products, which contain alkyne, amine, and ester groups, open up new possibilities for synthesizing bioactive molecules, with mechanism studies highlighting the significance of a zwitter

A base-promoted cascade 5- cyclization/carboxylation of -alkynylsulfamides with CO has been accomplished, furnishing a variety of benzosultam-containing acrylates in good yields by using CO as the carboxylic source. Notably, in the case of substrates bearing a TMS-alkyne motif, the -dicarboxylation products were generated unprecedentedly.
