Article Abstract

Herein we employed ethynylethylene carbonates (EECs) to achieve formal [4 + 1] and [3 + 3] cycloaddition with cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. On one hand, EECs with styryl substitution could undergo a remotely controlled enantioselective [4 + 1] cycloaddition reaction. This reaction exhibits good chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and enantioselectivity. In addition, a [3 + 3] cycloaddition reaction of EECs with cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds was also achieved, leading to a series of 4-pyrans with impressive chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity.

A method for the conversion of isoxazoles into thiazoles by skeleton rearrangement has been achieved by an ammonium iodide-catalyzed cycloaddition protocol under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance. Most appealingly, the reaction can proceed smoothly without the addition of any transition metal catalyst. Detailed mechanistic studies, including control experiments and key reaction intermediate characterization, reveal an intermolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reaction pathway.

The classical 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction predominantly generates five-membered heterocycles through cycloaddition between 1,3-dipoles and unsaturated hydrocarbons, such as alkenes or alkynes. Herein, we report a light-mediated approach that employs saturated amines as alternatives to conventional unsaturated hydrocarbons, enabling their reaction with -imino(iso)quinolinium ylides to achieve efficient synthesis of pyrazolo-fused (iso)quinoline core structures. This method demonstrates operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group compatibility.

Pd-catalyzed straight forward [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between spirovinylcyclopropyl-2-oxindole and coumarin/bioisosteres is demonstrated. The resultant products spirooxindolyl-cyclopentane[c]chromanones and structural analogues are obtained in up to 97% yields and > 99:1 dr. The target spirooxindole-cyclopentane architectures with four contiguous stereocenters with high diastereocontrol is differentially influenced by inexpensive 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand and greener solvent EtOH.

In this paper, we reported a palladium-catalyzed formal (4 + 1) cycloaddition reaction between amido-tethered allylic carbonates and sulfur ylides. The reaction worked well to provide γ-lactam compounds in satisfactory yields and displayed good compatibility to a wide range of functional groups. The synthetic value of the reaction was demonstrated through scale-up reaction and further transformation.
