Dirhodium(II)-catalyzed regio-divergent intramolecular rearrangement of oxonium and sulfonium ylides, generated from diazo arylidene succinimides (DAS), has been achieved at room temperature. Allyloxy-substituted DAS derivatives were strategically designed and synthesized to explore their reactivity under metal catalysis. The transformation is proposed to proceed via oxonium ylide intermediate, followed by [1,2]- and [1,4]-shifts, leading to the chromene framework. This strategy was further extended to to access thiochromenes under mild reaction conditions. For the first time, intramolecular rearrangement has been explored on DAS derivatives to synthesize bioactive chromene and thiochromene scaffolds.

Isothiouronium and thiazolidinium salts are sulfur-containing scaffolds commonly found in bioactive molecules. We report an expeditive one-pot, two-step procedure for the rapid synthesis of isothiouronium salts from carbon disulfide under microwave irradiation, allowing their isolation in less than 30 min and in good to excellent yields, without the need for a catalyst. When propargyl bromide is used as an alkylating agent, the corresponding isothiouronium salt undergoes an intramolecular cyclization during silica gel chromatography, affording a thiazolidinium salt.

Yaretol is a polycyclic norditerpene constituting a structurally distinct class of terpene natural products isolated from which, to date, has not been accessed via total synthesis. Herein, we report our synthetic efforts toward a key intramolecular Diels-Alder furan (IMDAF) cycloaddition to construct the carbon framework. We discuss our efforts toward the cycloaddition wherein undesired aromatization and unanticipated rearrangement of the cycloadduct are observed.

Employing heterobimetallic complexes (HBCs) offers an exciting and powerful strategy for various catalytic applications. Here, we present an unorthodox synthetic route to synthesize a novel Ru-Fe heterobimetallic complex by implementing the strategy of "metalation with functionalization." This complex utilizes a redox-assisted concerted strategy to facilitate the controlled radical polymerization (CRP) of acrylate monomers with significantly low catalyst loading.

CRAF (RAF1) is one of three RAF-family kinases that initiate MAP kinase signaling in response to activated RAS and is essential for oncogenic signaling from mutant KRAS. Like BRAF, CRAF is regulated by 14-3-3 engagement and by intramolecular autoinhibitory interactions of its N-terminal regulatory region. Unlike BRAF, it is thought to require tyrosine phosphorylation in its N-terminal acidic (NtA) motif for full catalytic activation.
