Article Abstract

A high-valent Ir(III)-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization is carried out for the first time on water for the synthesis of a biologically relevant chromone moiety. The C-H activation and annulation of salicylaldehydes with diazo-compounds provided the desired chromones. The synthesis of C3-substitution-free chromones has also been demonstrated by a one-pot decarboxylation by employing tert-butyl diazoester. C3 and C5 C-H activations of the product chromone are also carried out under different conditions for further diversification.

Isoflavonoids represent a privileged scaffold among various bioactive natural products, rendering their structural diversification through green synthesis and subsequent biological evaluations a compelling research area. In this study, an NHC organocatalytic radical acylalkylation of 1,3-enynes using salicylaldehydes is presented, followed by a cascade intramolecular annulation, yielding a series of fluorinated isoflavone derivatives with substantial yields under environmental-friendly conditions. This approach, distinguished by its excellent modularity and high functional group tolerance, represents an unprecedented organocatalytic 1,3,4-trifunctionalization of 1,3-enynes designed for the green synthesis of bioactive isoflavones in a single step.

A one-pot, three-component synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles from terminal alkynes, salicylaldehydes, and indoles has been developed via copper-catalyzed tandem annulation. This catalytic system utilizes readily available starting materials, enabling predictable synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles with broad substrate versatility, excellent regiocontrol, and gram-scale amenability. The reaction proceeds via a sequential pathway involving A3 coupling, 1,4-conjugate addition, and 5-- cyclization.

A two-step formal (4 + 1) annulation-dehydration reaction offers a convenient route to C2-arylated indoles and benzofurans. This reaction exploits the bifunctional reactivity of electron-deficient benzyl chlorides with -sulfonyl-2-aminobenzaldehydes or salicylaldehyde derivatives. The reaction tolerates both electron-withdrawing and donating groups on the substituted aldehydes, as well as variation of electron-withdrawing groups at the position of the benzyl chloride reagent.

Herein we reported a novel strategy for constructing benzoxepine fused succinimide derivatives via a phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 4] cyclization of α-substituted allenes and salicylaldehyde Schiff bases. This methodology serves as a conduit for the construction of benzoxepine derivatives in good yields under mild conditions by an unprecedented mode involving the β'-carbon of allenes. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to study the possible mechanism.

Herein, we report a highly efficient Ag(I)-catalyzed indolyzation with Friedel-Crafts alkylation through a cascade cyclization strategy for accessing valuable hybrid heterocycles for the first time. This general strategy consists of forming four C-C/C-N/C-O bonds toward dual annulation reactions of 2-alkynylanilines with methyl benzoate-2-carboxaldehydes and aromatic amines, as well as with salicylaldehydes and malononitrile. Variably substituted new indolo-4-phthalimidines and indolo-4-chromenes were synthesized with excellent yields (85-93%) under mild reaction conditions.
