The first (5+1) annulation of allenoates and pyrazolones catalyzed by CHOK has been reported. A series of spiro-pyrazolone derivatives were obtained as single diastereomers in high yields (≤95%) under mild conditions. The synthetic utility was demonstrated by a scale-up reaction and various transformations of the products. The proposed mechanism suggests that the allenoate works as a 1,5-biselectrophilic 5C synthon for the first time and controlled experiments disclose that K plays an important role in the diastereoselectivity-determining step through an eight-membered ring transition state. Also, this 1,5-biselectrophilic allenoate will be able to act as a 5C synthon for (5+) annulation.

A Bro̷nsted acid-catalyzed [5 + 1] annulation of 2-(1-indol-2-yl)phenols, a class of indole-based 1,5-CO-synthons, with aldehydes has been established. By this approach, various indole-fused dihydrochromanes were synthesized in moderate to good yields (up to 99%) with excellent regioselectivities. Control experiments not only showed the H-bonding interaction between the NH group of the substrates─and the acid catalyst is vital to realize this transformation─but also indicated that an indolylmethanol-type intermediate was possibly formed via the first step of nucleophilic addition of indole C3-position to aldehydes during the reaction process.

A metal-free approach for synthesizing hybrid quinoxaline derivatives from sulfoxonium ylide and a 1,5-bis-nucleophilic N-heterocycle mediated by elemental sulfur is presented to illuminate the [5+1] cascade cyclization sequence. Large-scale synthesis and postsynthetic functionalizations for the annulative π-extension and intramolecular aza-annulation reactions reveal the potential utility and actualize the fabricated approach.

A Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/cyclization cascade was developed for the first divergent synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-]quinazolines through a [5 + 1] annulation reaction exclusively. The one-pot procedure is recognized for its broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance, and high atom economy. Mechanistic studies reveal the reaction pathway, addressing current limitations.

By employing elemental selenium as the selenium source, we have realized the amidine-directed Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H selenylation/[5 + 1] annulation for the direct construction of structurally novel selenadiazine, benzoselenadiazine, and benzoselenazol-3-amine frameworks with specific site selectivity and good functional group tolerance. Besides, the obtained products can serve as fundamental platforms for subsequent chemical transformations, and thus, the feasible SeNEx reaction, SeNEx/Michael addition, and simple conversion of the selenadiazine product into diverse other organoselenium molecules were demonstrated accordingly. Taken together, the developed methodology efficiently expands the chemical space of organoselenium species.
