Efficacious protocols have been established to synthesize a structurally privileged Π-extended coumarin-fused pyridone nucleus by activating the vinylic C(sp)-H bond of coumarin-3-carboxamide under the influence of inexpensive Ru(II)-metal. Here an -methoxy carboxamide entity has been exploited as the chelating fragment to manifest C(sp)-H bond functionalization with a concomitant (4 + 2) annulation reaction, resulting in heterocyclic ring-forming protocols along with sulfoxonium ylide and iodonium ylide as representative bench-stable carbene surrogates. This diverse heterocycle formation carbene insertion strategies, is further expanded to activate the -C(sp)-H bonds of different heterocycles by employing the sp-N moiety as the directing group to develop acyl-alkylated/alkenylated quinazolines, isoxazoles and highly fluorescent pyridone--oxides. Intriguingly, during an evaluation of the versatility of the current protocols, a one-pot double C-H activation has been rationalized in the presence of iodonium ylide, which results in biologically potent benzimidazole-fused coumarin-centered bridge-headed polycyclic heteroarenes. Furthermore, a chemo-selective late-stage synthetic transformation is being designed to develop differently substituted pyridone analogues by switching the nature of the reducing agent. In addition, a photophysical experiment was done on one pyridine--oxide compound (7e) and delightfully it exhibited fluorescence quenching activity selectively in the presence of Al ions, which appears to be a unique feature of our methodology. Finally, upon correlation of the merit of the developed pathways, the iodonium ylide mediated strategy appears to be superior.

2-Propargyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been carbonylated under oxidative conditions and with the catalysis of the PdI/KI catalytic system to selectively afford previously unreported 2-(4-acylfuran-2-yl)acetamides in fair to good yields (54-81%) over 19 examples. The process takes place under relatively mild conditions and occurs via a mechanistic pathway involving C-H activation by oxidative monoamincarbonylation of the terminal triple bond of the substrates with formation of 2-ynamide intermediates, followed by 5---cyclization (via intramolecular conjugate addition of the in situ formed enolate to the 2-ynamide moiety) and aromative isomerization.

Highly substituted iodobenzenes were efficiently and regioselectively synthesized from readily available 1,6-diynes via two-step process consisting of silver-catalyzed Csp-H iodination and subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of resultant iododiynes. Some of the obtained iodobenzenes were subjected to palladium-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions such as Mizoroki-Heck reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, giving highly conjugated molecules.
