A high efficiency protocol was developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles via iodine-promoted oxidative domino cyclization. These reactions were performed with readily available methyl azaarenes and α-amino ketones under metal-free conditions. This protocol is a simple method with high functional group compatibility, a wide range of substrates, and excellent yield, providing a new way to synthesize azaarene-attached oxazoles.

An I-promoted, metal-free protocol has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of 6-aroyl-5,6-dihydro-8-quinazolino[4,3-]quinazolin-8-ones from readily accessible substrates. This reaction involves the sp C-H oxidation of aryl methyl ketones to phenylglyoxal, followed by imine formation and intramolecular nucleophilic addition, resulting in the formation of two new C-N bonds. Furthermore, the method is applicable to a wide range of aryl methyl ketones, including heterocycles and drug-derived substrates, yielding the desired products with yields ranging from 62% to 93%.

An iodine-promoted C═C bond cleavage with concomitant decarboxylation and cross-coupling between cinnamic acids and -sulfoximines has been developed. This reaction proceeds via selective C═C bond cleavage, followed by decarboxylation and oxidative sulfoximidation. This metal- and base-free protocol involves dioxygen as the source of oxygen, which is facilitated by -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant affording -aroylated sulfoximines with good functional group tolerance and good yields.

A highly efficient method for the direct construction of amide bonds a selective cleavage of C-H and C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds in indole structures using an iodine-promoted approach was developed. Mechanistic studies indicated the formation of superoxide radicals obtained from molecular oxygen activation as a key intermediate step, which provided a precursor for subsequent oxidative ring-opening and intermolecular cyclization. A broad range of quinazolin-4(3)-ones and tryptanthrins were synthesized in moderate to good yields under mild and environmentally benign conditions.

A novel iodine-promoted difunctionalization of α-C sites in enaminones was demonstrated as a means of synthesizing a variety of fully substituted thiazoles by constructing C-C(CO), C-S, and C-N bonds. This transformation allows the realization of enaminones as unusual aryl C2 synthons and simultaneously allows the thioylation and dicarbonylation of α-C sites. A preliminary mechanistic study was performed and indicated that the cleavage of C═C bonds in enaminones involves a bicyclization/ring-opening and oxidative coupling sequence.

Herein, we report an efficient synthetic method for constructing the tetracyclic scaffold of sulfur-containing discorhabdin-type alkaloids. The key to success is the BF•EtO-promoted dienone-phenol-type rearrangement/sulfur insertion cascade reaction, which converts the common and readily available -acetal-bridged tetracyclic framework to the labile and synthetically challenging -acetal-bridged tetracyclic framework in a single step. Additionally, the hypervalent iodine promoted intramolecular oxidative dearomatization terminated with amide and indium(III) acetate-facilitated radical cyclization were also essential elements in this study.
