A series of seven-membered (oxepine) nucleosides containing various nucleobases (A, U, T, 5-FU, C) were synthesized by ring expansion of cyclopropanated glucals. We expect this new series of ring-expanded nucleic acid analogues to be useful as building blocks in the design of mixed base functional genetic systems. While exploring alternative pathways to oxepine nucleoside synthesis, we discovered an unprecedented α-stereoselective -glycosylation of 1,2-glucals under mild Simmons-Smith conditions.

Seven-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles, particularly azepine-based compounds, represent an intriguing class of molecules with vast arrays of applications. These compounds have garnered considerable attention in synthetic and medicinal chemistry due to their non-planar, non-aromatic features, which offer structural flexibility and diversity to design new drugs with improved pharmacological properties. This review summarizes the recent advances in the synthesis of azepine derivatives, including eco-friendly methodologies that align with the principles of green chemistry, which emphasize atom economy, sustainability, and waste reduction.

The polycyclic skeleton of tris(4,5-dehydro-2,3:6,7-dibenzotropone) is a key structural fragment in carbon schwarzites, a theoretical form of negatively curved carbon allotrope. This report presents a new synthesis of this compound using a Ni-mediated Yamamoto coupling reaction and structural analysis of it with X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, it is observed that tris(4,5-dehydro-2,3:6,7-dibenzotropone) crystallized from its solution in hexane resulting in colorless and yellow crystal polymorphs, where it adopts conformations of approximate and symmetry, respectively.

Here, we report a novel strategy for the preparation of diverse heterocycles via a Pd-catalyzed migratory 1,1-cycloannulation reaction (MCAR) of alkenes. Starting from readily available alkenyl amines and alkenyl alcohols, this approach allows the formation of a wide range of five- to seven-membered azaheterocycles and oxaheterocycles with high efficiency and good functional group tolerance. The key to the realization of this reaction is the use of 4-iodophenol or 2-iodophenol derivatives where the phenolic hydroxyl group plays a critical role in controlling the direction of migration and the ring-size of the heterocycles through the formation of a quinone methide intermediate.

A highly stereoselective protocol for the (3 + 2)-annulation of biphenyl-bridged seven-membered cyclic -sulfonylimines with γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated ketones was developed. The reactions afforded a wide range of chiral [5.7]-fused ε-sultams bearing N-adjacent 1,3-stereocenters in excellent yields (93-98% yields) and high enantio/diastereoselectivities (up to >99% ee, >20:1 d.
