We have found a chameleonic reactivity of imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides. On the one hand, imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides react with electron-deficient reagents, such as alkynyl esters, to lead to the formation of 1,2-dihydro-pyridines. The methyl group attached to the sulfur atom acts as a methylene donor. On the other hand, imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides react with pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates, which leads to the formation of functionalized pyrroles. Both transformations feature mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance.

An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation of azobenzenes and subsequent [4+1] cascade annulation with CF-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides was developed, yielding diverse CF-indazoles. This protocol featured easily available starting materials, excellent functional group tolerance and high efficiency. Moreover, the antitumor activities of selected CF-indazoles against human cancer cell lines were also studied, and the results indicated that several compounds displayed considerable antiproliferative activities.

A condition-controlled Rh(III)-catalyzed selective synthesis of CF-substituted indoles and pyrido[2,1-]isoindoles from 2-arylpyridines and CF-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides has been developed. The Cp*Rh(MeCN)(SbF)/HFIP system afforded CF-substituted indoles via triple C-H activation, while the [Cp*RhCl]/MeCN condition selectively furnished CF-substituted pyrido[2,1-]isoindoles through C-H [4 + 1] annulation. The notable advantages of this developed method included readily available starting materials, broad substrate scope, and excellent chemoselectivity.

A novel substrate-regulated [4+1] annulation of α-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides with diazoketones under catalyst-free conditions is described. The reaction proceeds through a coupling of sulfoxonium ylides and in situ-generated ketenes to form the key reactive zwitterionic intermediates, followed by selective formation of C-C or C-O bonds to achieve five-membered ring systems. The cascade reaction permits the direct synthesis of synthetically useful 2-indanones and 3(2)-furanones, which expands the reaction pattern of sulfoxonium ylides in annulation transformation.

A rhodium(III)-catalyzed aldehydic C(sp)-H imidoylmethylation of quinolin-8-carboxaldehydes with CF-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides (TFISYs) has been developed for the generation of α-imino ketones, which could be readily tautomerized to enaminones in moderate to excellent yields. In the transformation, TFISYs act as a kind of masked alkenylating reagents for the aldehyde moiety, and the obtained CF-enaminone products have been successfully converted into other useful trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocycles.

Presented herein are novel syntheses of CF-isoquinolinones and imidazole fused CF-isoquinolinones based on the cascade reactions of 2-aryloxazolines with trifluoromethyl imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides. The formation of CF-isoquinolinone involves an intriguing cascade process including oxazolinyl group-assisted aryl alkylation through C(sp)-H bond metalation, carbene formation, migratory insertion, and proto-demetalation followed by intramolecular condensation and water-promoted oxazolinyl ring-scission. With this method, the isoquinolinone scaffold tethered with valuable functional groups was effectively constructed.
