A novel cascade Pd(II)-catalyzed - cycloisomerization and olefination reaction of 2-benzyl-3-alkynyl chromones with activated/unactivated alkenes has been developed for the synthesis of fused oxatricyclic compounds. This concise one-pot synthetic approach was applied to the difunctionalization of unbiased alkynes based on 2-benzyl-3-(alkynyl)-4-chromen-4-one via -attack - cycloisomerization, followed by olefination with both activated and unactivated alkenes.

Photo- and Cobalt-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Unsaturated Guanidines, (Iso-)Ureas, and Carbonates.

We report intramolecular photocatalyzed cycloisomerization of unactivated olefins with pendant nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and utilizes guanidines, ureas, isoureas, isothioureas, and carbonates to yield several different five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocycles. Use of benzothiazinoquinoxaline as an organophotocatalyst and cobalt-salen catalyst obviates the need for a stoichiometric oxidant or reductant.

Article Synopsis
- Electron-rich phosphines are important in transition metal-based catalysis, with zwitterionic groups like phosphorus ylides enhancing their donor strength.
- Recent research introduces a new ligand, N-heterocyclic olefin phosphines with sulfonyl substituents (sNHOP), which twists a double bond to create a zwitterionic structure.
- This new ligand shows improved donor strength and has proven effective in gold-catalyzed reactions, surpassing traditional NHOP ligands in performance, indicating strong potential for future catalytic applications.
Stereoselective Double Spirocyclization of 2-Benzyl-3-alkynyl Chromone with Nitrone via Gold-Catalyzed Cascade Reactions.

A novel, highly stereoselective gold-catalyzed spirocyclization of 2-benzyl-3-alkynyl chromone with nitrone is described. This cascade reaction involves gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization, nitrone-olefin [3 + 2]-annulation, alkene oxidation, and rearrangement for the formation of spirocyclic products. Interestingly, the isoxazolidine ring generated from [3 + 2]-annulation donates oxygen to alkene to generate a new pyran-3(4)-one and azetidine ring for dispiro-benzofuran formation upon heating.

We report a general, intramolecular cycloisomerization of unactivated olefins with pendant nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and tolerates ethers, esters, protected amines, acetals, pyrazoles, carbamates, and arenes. It is amenable to N-, O-, as well as C-nucleophiles, yielding a number of different heterocycles including, but not limited to, pyrrolidines, piperidines, oxazolidinones, and lactones.
