Article Abstract

A base-catalyzed addition of quinazolinones to unsymmetrical trifluoromethylated internal alkynes was accomplished for straightforward access to various N3-vinylquinazolinones. Excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity were achieved along with moderate to good efficacy for broad substrate scope under environmentally benign conditions. Moreover, N3-vinylquinazolinone adducts could be readily transformed into a useful fused tetracyclic scaffold via one-step intramolecular oxidative cross-coupling. On the basis of preliminary control experiment results, a catalytic cycle was proposed to clarify a plausible reaction mechanism.

1,3-difunctionalized skeletons are important feedstocks and frequently appear in pharmaceuticals. However, effective and straightforward approaches to these scaffolds remain challenging. Herein, we reported a mild and efficient strategy for 1,3-hydroxyiodation, employing molecular iodine as both the promoter and iodinating agent.

Department of Chemistry, St. Thomas College Palai, Arunapuram P.O., Kottayam, Kerala, 686574, India.

An α-aryl-substituted enantioenriched ketone is a valuable building block for the production of both natural and medicinal compounds. Research into their asymmetric synthesis can be challenging yet rewarding because of the need to control regio-, chemo-, and enantioselectivity carefully. A wide range of catalytic strategies has been developed during the past three decades to gain access to these favored motifs.

Regio- and chemoselective catalytic partial transfer hydrogenation of quinolines by dinuclear aluminum species.

Nat Commun

September 2025

Department of Chemistry, Institute of Silicon Chemistry and Catalysis Research Center, TUM School of Natural Sciences, Technische Universität München, Garching bei München, Germany.

Catalytic reduction of quinolines has gained continuous interest in both academia and industry, providing direct and efficient access to tetrahydroquinolines or 1,2-dihydroquinolines. The catalytic preparation of tetrahydroquinolines has been extensively studied by transition metal complexes. By contrast, the related catalytic synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines remains underdeveloped due to the difficulties in achieving precise control over both chemo- and regioselectivity.

Hydroalkylation of Unactivated Alkenes with Amides via Photoredox Catalysis and Triple Hydrogen Atom Transfer.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

State Key Laboratory of Green Pesticide, Engineering Research Center of Photoenergy Utilization for Pollution Control and Carbon Reduction, Ministry of Education, College of Chemistry, Central China Normal University (CCNU), 152 Luoyu Road, Wuhan, Hubei, 430079, P.R. China.

Radical-mediated hydroalkylation of alkenes offers a more direct and atom-economical route to α-alkylated carbonyl compounds, enabling the construction of various drug scaffolds, natural products, and functional molecules. However, traditional protocols are generally restricted to active 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and often require oxidants, large excesses of substrates, and harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we present a photoinduced, general, and practical hydroalkylation of unactivated alkenes with amides.

Institute of Chemistry, Casali Center of Applied Chemistry, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9190401, Israel.

We report a selective dearomative cyclization strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-fused diazabicycles from 3-substituted pyridyl ynamides. The method combines a chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective carbometalation with a regioselective dearomatization, enabling access to a broad range of diazabicyclic scaffolds with varied ring sizes. The protocol accommodates alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents, tolerates diverse functional groups, and supports stereodivergent synthesis, offering a versatile platform for constructing complex fused -heterocycles with potential relevance to medicinal chemistry.
