Published: January 2025

Herein, a one-pot domino catalyzed three-component process is described, which is initiated by a palladium/zinc cooperatively catalyzed cycloaddition between trimethylenemethane (TMM) and unactivated alkyl/aryl imines, followed by one-pot isomerization and Zn(OTf)-catalyzed DDQ oxidation, furnishing valuable substituted pyrroles. We disclose that the palladium/zinc cooperative catalysis affords a dual-Zn(OTf)-stabilized azapalladacycle, wherein the Pd-N bond is polarized by Zn(OTf), facilitating a unique outer-sphere allylic amination. Moreover, subsequent DDQ dehydrogenation can be feasibly promoted by zinc catalysis.

Domino cascade reactions, which can construct multiple bonds in one pot, are efficient methods to synthesize N-heterocycles and other useful skeletons. Herein, we report an expedient synthesis of polysubstituted benzo[][1,5]naphthyridine via Mn(III)-mediated C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanols. These reactions were initiated by addition of β-carbonyl radicals, generated from cyclopropyl alcohols in the presence of Mn(III), to 2-(2-isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles to give quinolin-3-amines, which went through intramolecular cyclizations and dehydrogenation to give the final products.

This study demonstrates quick access to heteroatom-embodied complex fused polycyclic frameworks through a palladium-catalyzed domino process facilitated by microwave-assisted crossover annulation of -alkynylarylhalides and dihydrobenzofurans derivatives. The overall success of this process lies in the careful design of dihydrobenzofuran precursors that direct the initial palladium-mediated annulation step to proceed in a highly regioselective manner to furnish a single regioisomeric product. Notably, this one-pot method has witnessed good substrate scope and has furnished products with excellent yields.

A practically intriguing catalytic domino methodology has been developed for the synthesis of highly functionalized pyran and ethene-1,1,2-tricarbonitrile derivatives in a single-pot operation. The -dicyano olefins and the corresponding epoxide were taken as the reactive partners in the presence of a hydrogen bond donor (HBD)-catalyzed condition. The reaction was found to be highly efficient in terms of the formation of sequential C-C and O-C bonds along with an exceptional C-C coupling step through a metal-free organocatalytic pathway.
