A copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of alkenyl -propargyl ynamides is described. This protocol enables the practical synthesis of diverse spirocyclic γ-lactams bearing an exocyclic double bond with generally high / selectivity in moderate to good yields. Importantly, this copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization demonstrates a distinctive selectivity in comparison with the related gold catalysis.

A straightforward I2-promoted Povarov multicomponent reaction strategy for the synthesis of N-heteroaromatic benzothiazole and 2, 2'-biquinolines was described. This methodology involved a one-pot two-step procedure, tandem iodination/Kornblum oxidation, and [4 + 2] condensation. This protocol was characterized by broad scope of substrates (49 examples, 31-80% yields), applicable for large-scale preparation, and downstream derivatization of the product.

-cycloalkenes are abundant in bioactive natural products and have been used as powerful tools in chemical biology and drug discovery. However, strategies for the modular synthesis of -cycloalkenes, especially planar-chiral medium-sized ones, with high efficiency and selectivity, still remain elusive. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [7 + 2] cyclization strategy to address this challenge.

Devising advanced protocols to avoid harsh oxidants is of paramount interest in gold catalyzed redox reactions. To address this issue, electrochemical oxidation of precatalytic Au complexes to catalytically active Au in situ species has started to emerge as a potential alternative. Such endeavours not only unlocked the possibility of direct anodic oxidation of Au to Au, but also enables stepwise oxidation of Au to Au to Au through the mediation of electro-generated organic radicals.

In the dyotropic rearrangement of molecules with semiflexible structures, characterized by a freely rotating static C-C bond, the formation of a mixture of products is common due to the coexistence of several energetically comparable conformers. Herein, we report that it is possible to modulate the shifting groups by adjusting the metal's coordination sphere in Pd-based dyotropic rearrangement. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(II) salt, the reaction of γ-hydroxyalkenes or γ,δ-dihydroxyalkenes with Selectfluor affords fluorinated tetrahydropyranols or 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.

A novel metal- and azide-free methodology for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated 1,2,3-triazoles from arylamines with a new 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-one derived tosylhydrazone has been developed under mild reaction conditions. The new α-bromo-trifluoromethylated tosylhydrazone reagent was operationally safe and bench-stable from low-cost and readily commercially available starting materials in the iodine-promoted aerobic oxidative cycloaddition reaction with arylamines, affording a variety of trifluoromethylated 1,2,3-triazoles in good to excellent yields.
