A total synthesis of javaberine A was achieved through a lithium amide-mediated intramolecular hydroamination of an N-allyl aminoalkene. The desired hydroamination was accomplished using an excess of i-PrNH with a substoichiometric amount of n-BuLi. Using an excess of both n-BuLi and i-PrNH led to tandem cyclization, however, resulting in the construction of a tricyclic structure through the formation of one C-N and two C-C bonds in a single operation. Additionally, epimerization of the H8-H14 cis-benzyl tetrahydroisoquinoline to the trans isomer was achieved via β-elimination followed by intramolecular hydroamination.

Multisubstituted piperidines are prevalent units in pharmaceuticals. Herein, a photodriven anti-Markovnikov hydroaminative cyclization of a ()/()-isomeric mixture of trisubstituted alkenes using the lactate-derived -symmetric arylthiol catalyst was developed for the synthesis of -2,3-disubstituted piperidines and azepane in high diastereoselectivity and good yields. The origin of diastereoselectivity and the observed different hydroamination rate of alkene with different configurations were elucidated by the experimental and computational investigation.

Despite major advances, intramolecular alkene hydroamination reactions often face limitations. Herein, a redox-enabled process featuring oxidation of an amine to a hydroxylamine, a concerted hydroamination step, followed by catalytic reduction of -oxide is shown to be broadly applicable. Catalyst screening and optimization showed that a KOsO(OH)-pinacol complex rapidly and chemoselectively reduces the -oxide cycloadduct in the presence of hydroxylamine and dimethyl sulfoxide.

A copper-catalyzed intramolecular synthesis of 3-alkenyl-2-indazoles from 2-alkynylazobenzenes is described. The reaction proceeds in a single step via C-N bond formation and a subsequent 1,2-hydride shift, affording products in high yields. DFT calculations suggest the 1,2-hydride shift as the rate-determining step.

Pyrroles, privileged structural motifs in drug and material science, have been synthesized by indium(III)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of homopropargyl azides. This methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope, providing substituted pyrroles and bispyrroles in good yields. Furthermore, an atom-economical sequential method for the synthesis of benzo[]indoles has been discovered from azido-diynes using InCl as catalyst.
