Article Abstract

The effective and mild [4+1] annulation of ninhydrin-derived MBH carbonates with α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed, providing a wide range of multisubstituted furans in high yields (up to 90%) with excellent β-regioselectivities. In contrast, the polysubstituted cyclopentenes bearing dispiro-bisindanedione motifs were obtained classical [3+2] annulations by employing ninhydrin-derived MBH carbonates with 2-arylidene-1,3-indandiones under the same catalytic conditions. Furthermore, the structures of two kinds of cycloadducts were straightforwardly confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis.

Herein, we report the first regio- and enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrido[2,3-]pyrazines using a chiral iridacycle catalyst. Pyridyl diamines and diketones undergo sequential annulation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the generated pyrido[2,3-]pyrazine intermediates. This method provides diverse fused N-heterocycles in high yields (up to 95%) and enantioselectivity (98.

An iron(III)-catalyzed methanesulfonic-acid-mediated [3 + 2 + 1C] annulation of enaminones assembling a 1,2-dihydropyridine (1,2-DHP) scaffold has been developed for the first time. This approach facilitates the rapid synthesis of 2-hydroxy-1,2-DHP derivatives in moderate to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope under mild conditions. The employment of 1,3-dioxolane as both a 1C synthon and solvent enables simultaneous incorporation of both a carbon atom and a hydroxy group into 1,2-DHPs.

In this work, we report a novel I-mediated ring-opening -difunctionalization of cyclopropyl alcohols with enaminones for the first time. The selective [3 + 2] annulation instead of [3 + 3] annulation under metal-free conditions enables a straightforward and efficient synthesis of structurally important 2,4-diacylpyrroles. Notably, this methodology dispenses with metal catalysts, proceeds under mild reaction conditions, and features not only simple operation but also suitability for gram-scale preparation and late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules.

The annulation reaction of β-methyl enaminones with alkynones leading to the synthesis of methylene-functionalized 1,2-dihydropyridines (1,2-DHPs) has been realized. In the presence of only CsCO, 1,2-DHPs have been synthesized with a broad scope and generally high efficiency via the novel transformation of the γ-C(sp)-H bond in enaminones. In addition, the application of the method has been demonstrated by the one-step transformation of the 1,2-DHP products into fused tricyclic scaffolds featuring an indole-pyridine hybrid via dual C-H activation.

We report here an efficient and sustainable protocol for the direct synthesis of 2,3-dihydroperimidine derivatives dehydrogenative C-N coupling, utilizing a recyclable Fe single-atom catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe-N-C). The catalyst was synthesized by encapsulating ferrocene within the ZIF-8 framework, followed by pyrolysis. The catalyst exhibited excellent activity, stability, and recyclability, facilitating the transformation of diverse primary alcohols, including aryl/heteroaryl methanol and aliphatic alcohols, into the desired products in moderate to good yields.
