Article Abstract
A copper-catalyzed [3+2] annulation reaction of exocyclic enamines/enol ethers with 1,4-benzoquinone esters has been developed, providing facile access to N,O-spiroketals and spiroketals under mild conditions with broad substrate scope (26 examples, 71-94 % yields). Gram scale synthesis and chemical transformations demonstrated that this method is potentially useful in the synthesis of natural products and drugs containing a N,O- spiroketal moiety. The chiral N,O-spiroketal could be obtained with 98 % ee after recrystallization, when a chiral SaBOX ligand was employed.

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.

A CFOH-catalysed tandem cyclization of -alkynylnaphthols and -quinone monoketals is disclosed. The CFOH catalyst activates alkynylnaphthol to generate an all-carbon tetrasubstituted VQM by nucleophilic addition to quinone monoketal (Michael addition). Furthermore, the CFOH catalyst triggers -quinone monoketal to generate an electrophilic oxocarbenium cation to be captured by -alkynylnaphthol regiospecifically, resulting in the formation of an all-carbon tetrasubstituted VQM, followed by an intramolecular cyclization to afford a series of 1-(3-arylbenzofuran-2-yl)naphthalen-2-ols.
