A Pd-catalyzed direct method has been developed to access 1,3-disubstituted indolizines. This reaction proceeds through a regiospecific annulation of terminal alkynes with 2-pyridinyl-substituted -quinone methides and, in most of the cases, the desired 1,3-disubstituted indolizines were obtained in moderate to good isolated yields. The control experiments suggested that the reaction does proceed through a substrate-controlled regiospecific formal [3 + 2]-annulation pathway.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

A one-pot, three-component synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles from terminal alkynes, salicylaldehydes, and indoles has been developed via copper-catalyzed tandem annulation. This catalytic system utilizes readily available starting materials, enabling predictable synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles with broad substrate versatility, excellent regiocontrol, and gram-scale amenability. The reaction proceeds via a sequential pathway involving A3 coupling, 1,4-conjugate addition, and 5-- cyclization.

Acenaphtho-, phenanthro-, and pyrenopyrrole esters, readily available from Barton-Zard reactions of ethyl isocyanoacetate with nitroarenes, were reacted with methyl iodide and KOH in DMSO to give -methylpyrroles and subsequent cleavage of the ester moieties was accomplished with KOH in ethylene glycol at 200 °C. Condensation with two equiv of an acetoxymethylpyrrole in refluxing acetic acid-2-propanol afforded a series of annulated tripyrranes. Cleavage of the terminal -butyl ester groups with trifluoroacetic acid, followed by condensation with a diformylpyrrole and oxidation with FeCl, gave -methyl acenaphtho-, phenanthro-, and pyrenoporphyrins.

The dihydroisoquinolones skeleton is ubiquitous in natural products and biological molecules. Reported strategies for constructing dihydroisoquinolones usually require noble metal catalysts or stoichiometric oxidants, which limit their wide applications. Herein, we developed a photoredox catalyzed tandem denitrogenative [4 + 2] annulation reaction of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones with terminal olefins.
