A copper-catalyzed domino addition/cyclization reaction was developed to synthesize novel benzoselenazole-linked 1,2,3-triazole and tetracyclic fused 12-benzo[4,5]selenazole[2,3-]quinazolin-12-one derivatives from isoselenocyanates. This domino reaction efficiently constructed multiple new chemical bonds in a single step, forming either four (one C-Se and three C-) or three (one C-Se and two C-) bonds. The reaction offers several key advantages, including mild conditions, broad substrate compatibility, and straightforward and safe operation.

Transition-metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of alkynes is an efficient pathway for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, most of the established methods require noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of diynes with alkynes through vinyl cation intermediates, enabling the atom-economical preparation of biologically important carbazole skeletons.

Complexity-generating reactions that access three-dimensional products from simple starting materials offer substantial value for drug discovery. While oxygen-containing heterocycles frequently feature unique, nonaromatic architectures such as spirocyclic rings, exploration of these chemical spaces is limited by conventional synthetic approaches. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed annulation and alkene transposition cascade reaction that enables a modular preparation of complex, spirocyclic ethers from readily available alkenol substrates via a copper-catalyzed annulation and transannular 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer-mediated C-H functionalization.

Copper-Catalyzed Regioselective Annulation of β-Keto Esters and Propargyl Acetates: Access to Polysubstituted Furans.

J Org Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Functions and Applications of Medicinal Plants, Guizhou Medical University, 3491 Gaohai Road, Guiyang 550014, P. R. China.

A copper-catalyzed regioselective annulation reaction, conducted without ligands or oxidants, has been developed for the preparation of multisubstituted furans from the readily available starting materials, β-keto esters and propargyl acetates. This process accommodates a wide range of functional groups, resulting in furan skeletons with diverse substitution patterns. The method's potential synthetic utility is highlighted by its applicability in gram-scale preparations and late-stage modifications of natural products.
