Herein, we report a mild, one-pot method for silver-catalyzed tandem cycloisomerization/[5 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between readily accessible cyclopropyl-tethered allenyl ketones and benzopyranone-derived oxidopyrylium ylides. The reactions proceed a cyclobutene-fused furan intermediate generated by a cycloisomerization/1,2-carbene transfer/ring-expansion cascade. This method, which features an unprecedented formal [5 + 2] cycloaddition, delivers good to excellent yields of structurally complex bibridged benzocycloheptanones bearing a strained cyclobutane ring and an -bridged ring.

Article Synopsis
- Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for many biological functions and diseases, making them important but challenging targets for drug development.
- Traditional drug discovery has focused on enzymes and receptors, which have smaller binding sites, leaving a gap in strategies to successfully target PPIs.
- To overcome these challenges, a new strategy called privileged substructure-based diversity-oriented synthesis (pDOS) was developed, incorporating pyrimidine-based compounds to create diverse chemical structures that can effectively interfere with PPIs, including inhibiting the interaction between human ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

A silver-catalyzed cascade cyclization strategy has been developed for the synthesis of 4-aminotetrahydrocarbazole, a common core structure found in various alkaloids. This target molecule can be synthesized through a one-step tandem cyclization reaction, thereby eliminating the need for a prior synthesis of tetrahydrocarbazole. Furthermore, the use of chiral -butylsulfinamide facilitates chiral resolution of the resulting product.

Here, we present a versatile, silver-catalyzed multi-auto-tandem reaction involving enamines, alkynals, and nucleophiles, utilizing the highly reactive intermediate azafulvenium. This method allows for flexible and switchable regiodivergent reactions through either intermolecular or intramolecular nucleophilic attacks, which can be controlled by adjusting the catalytic conditions. A range of site-specific functionalized or polycyclic fused pyrrole products were efficiently produced with a high level of chemocontrol.

Epoxides, as a prominent small ring O-heterocyclic and the privileged pharmacophores for medicinal chemistry, have recently represented an ideal substrate for the development of single-atom replacements. The previous O-to-C replacement strategy for epoxides to date typically requires high temperatures to achieve low yields and lacks substrate range and functional group tolerance, so achieving this oxygen-carbon exchange remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report a silver-catalyzed direct conversion of epoxides into trifluoromethylcyclopropanes in a single step using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors, thereby achieving oxygen-carbon exchange via a tandem deoxygenation/[2 + 1] cycloaddition.
