Aromatization-driven deconstruction and functionalization of spiro dihydroquinazolinones dual photoredox/nickel catalysis is developed. The aromatization effect was introduced to synergistically drive unstrained cyclic C-C bond cleavage, with the aim of overcoming the ring-size limitation of nitrogen-centered radical induced deconstruction of carbocycles. Herein, we demonstrate the synergistic photoredox/nickel catalyzed deconstructive cross-coupling of spiro dihydroquinazolinones with organic halides. Remarkably, structurally diverse organic halides including aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and alkyl bromides were compatible for the coupling. In addition, this protocol is also characterized by its mild and redox-neutral conditions, excellent functional group compatibility, high atom economy, and easy scalability. A telescoped procedure involving condensation and ring-opening/coupling was found to be accessible. This work provides a complementary strategy to the existing radical-mediated C-C bond cleavage of unstrained carbocycles.

An organophotoredox-catalyzed cascade reaction involving C-C σ-bond cleavage, C-C bond formation, and a subsequent Truce-Smiles rearrangement has been developed using spiro-dihydroquinazolinones and activated alkenes. This aromaticity-driven deconstructive functionalization strategy efficiently yields valuable quinazolinone-containing long-chain amides bearing an α-all-carbon quaternary center. Mild redox-neutral conditions, good functional group compatibility and high atom economy are the noteworthy features of this methodology.

Dual-nickel/photoredox-catalyzed aromatization-mediated deconstruction and acylation of spiro-dihydroquinazolinones with carboxylic acids serving as acyl electrophiles is described. A series of synthetical ketone scaffolds with functional group tolerance could be obtained under mild conditions. A radical pathway involving an N-centered radical inducing β-scission to form a C-centered radical is proposed for these transformations.

A novel and robust deconstructive functionalization reaction of spiro-dihydroquinazolinones with sulfenylating reagents in the presence of base has been realized under visible light irradiation. This reaction enabled the direct ring-opening of unstrained cyclic ring systems, producing skeletally diverse functionalized quinazolinones with moderate to good yields. A range variety of sulfenylating reagents including diaryl disulfide, thiosulfonate, dithiosulfonate and 1-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]-2,5-pyrrolidinedione were compatible for this transformation.

The synthesis of chiral -difluorinated spiro-heterocyclic compounds continues to be a significant challenge in organic chemistry due to their widespread applications across various fields. Therefore, efficient asymmetric approaches for the synthesis of -difluorinated spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones are particularly valuable, especially in the industrial manufacturing of chiral fluorinated drugs. Herein, we developed the CPA-catalyzed asymmetric enantioselective cyclization reactions of -difluoroalkyl 1,3-indandiones with anthranilamides to achieve various chiral 2,2-difluoro-spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

A catalyst-free photoinduced deconstructive fluorosulfonylation cascade of spiro dihydroquinazolinones with DABSO and NFSI is reported. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, good yields and excellent functional group tolerance, providing a practical approach to the quinazolin-4(1)-one-functionalized aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides. In addition, the ease of gram-scale synthesis and the versatility of the SuFEx exchange highlight the application potential of this protocol.
