Article Abstract
Dienyl diketones containing tethered acetates selectively undergo two different 1,6-conjugate addition-initiated cyclization cascades. One is a 1,6-conjugate addition/cyclization sequence with incorporation of the nucleophile, and the other is catalyzed by DABCO and is thought to proceed via a cyclic acetoxonium intermediate. The reaction behavior of substrates lacking the tethered acetate was also studied. The scope of both types of cyclization cascades, the role of the amine additive, and the factors controlling reactivity and selectivity in the two different reaction pathways is discussed.

A visible-light-induced cascade cyclization of isocyanobiaryls with hydrosilanes has been developed for the synthesis of 6-silylated phenanthridines. Readily available hydrosilanes were employed as silyl radical precursors under room-temperature conditions. The merits of the transformation include operational simplicity, mild conditions, high atom economy, and good functional group compatibility.

Indolo/benzimidazo-isoquinoline scaffolds are frequently found in many natural products, pharmaceuticals, and organic materials. Owing to their prominent properties, in recent years, numerous studies have been performed on the synthesis of indolo/benzimidazo-isoquinoline derivatives photo-, and electro-promoted functionalization/cyclization reactions of -acryloyl 2-aryl indoles/benzimidazoles. In this review, we describe these fascinating transformations and discuss their mechanistic insights.

A novel strategy for accessing unprecedented silyl/fluoroalkyl-embedded tetracyclic pyrrolizidinediones has been developed through the visible-light-induced cascade cyclization of 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones using hydrosilanes or fluoroalkylsulfinate salts as radical sources under redox-neutral conditions. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and excellent compatibility with various functional groups. A number of silyl/fluoromethyl-decorated tetracyclic pyrrolizidinedione frameworks were efficiently created.

Photoinduced trifluoroethyl and acyl radical procedures for the efficient and simple preparation of iodotrifluoroethylated and acylated pyrrolidine-2-ones from -tethered 1,6-enynes with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodoethane and acyl oxime esters are reported. The photoinduced iodotrifluoroethylation is performed via the energy transfer (EnT) process of the fluorescein sodium-mediated atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) strategy under visible-light irradiation. The acylation is carried out with 4CzIPN as an organophotocatalyst at room temperature under metal- and oxidant-free conditions.
