Summary: A domino sulfonylation/intramolecular C-N coupling/dehydrogenation reaction was achieved between pent-4-ynamides and sulfonyl chlorides, catalyzed by Cu(acac)2 and 2,2'-bis-(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,1'-binaphthalene. The reaction offers a convenient approach to sulfonyl-functionalized pyrrol-2-ones. This method can also be used for the synthesis of 3-alkylidene isoindolinones from 2-ethynyl-benzamides.

Summary: A mild and efficient ruthenium-catalyzed hydroxy-arylation reaction of the terminal double bond of N-substituted 3-methyleneisoindolin-1-ones is described in this study. The reaction takes place in the presence of aryl diazonium salt as arylating reagent and water as hydroxyl source under visible light at ambient temperature. This strategy enables the construction of 3-benzyl-3-hydroxyisoindolin-1-one heterocyclic scaffolds through vicinal difunctionalization of the alkene, yielding moderate to good yields. Both C-C and C-O bonds are formed in one pot without the need for external additives or oxidants, through the in situ generation of a carbocation intermediate under green light.

Summary: We report a DTBP-mediated oxidative [4 + 2]/[3 + 2] annulation between 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes and terminal arylalkenes enabled by aldehyde C(sp(2))-H functionalization for the synthesis of a range of benzo[a]fluoren-5-ones. This method offers high step-economy, simple operation under metal-/solvent-free conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance. It provides a useful new strategy for constructing complex benzo[a]fluoren-5-one scaffolds compared to existing protocols using alkene reaction partners.

Summary: The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of 4,5-diarylpentanoic acids can lead to the formation of either 4-benzyltetral-1-one or 4-arylbenzosuber-1-one. The positioning of the substituents on the aromatic rings has been found to significantly impact the outcome of the cyclisation reaction. By using selected bromo or methoxy substituents as auxiliaries, it is possible to control the formation of the desired regioisomer.

Summary: A visible-light-induced hydrocyclization of unactivated alkenes was achieved using 3CzClIPN as the photocatalyst, leading to the formation of substituted alpha-methyldeoxyvasicinones and alpha-methylmackinazolinones in moderate to good yields. The reaction involves an intermolecular hydrogen atom transfer with THF as the hydrogen source. Mechanistic studies revealed that the in situ formed aminal radical undergoes intramolecular addition to the unactivated alkene, resulting in the formation of a polycyclic quinazolinone.

Summary: Cathodic synthesis enables the sustainable access to 1-hydroxy- and 1-oxy-quinazolin-4-ones utilizing easily accessible nitro starting materials. This method features mild reaction conditions, inexpensive and reusable carbon-based electrode materials, an undivided electrochemical setup, and constant current conditions. The use of sulphuric acid as a supporting electrolyte and cyclization catalyst, along with the broad applicability demonstrated with 27 differently substituted derivatives achieving high yields (up to 92%), emphasizes its significance for preparative applications. Mechanistic studies based on cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal the selective reduction of nitro substrates to hydroxylamines as a crucial step.

Summary: 2-butenylquinazolin-4(3H)-ones can undergo intramolecular aza-Wacker cyclization to form methylene-substituted pyrrolo(pyrido)[2,1-b]quinazolinones when treated with the catalytic system Pd(OAc)(2)/PPh3/Cs2CO3/benzoquinone in dioxane or Pd(PPh3)(2)Cl-2/t-BuONa/Cs2CO3/benzoquinone in toluene. The latter catalytic system also reacts with pentenyl(hexenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, but leads to the formation of vinyl-substituted pyrrolo(pyrido)[2,1-b]quinazolinones via competition between aminopalladation of C-H multiple bonds and allylic C(sp(3))-H bond activation.

Summary: New and efficient strategies for the conversion of 4-oxazolin-2-ones into 1-methyl and 1,4-dimethyl 3-formylcarbazoles are described. The diarylamines were obtained in high overall yields through highly convergent cascade and one-pot processes. The synthesis of methylated carbazoles by reacting 4,5-dimethyl-4-oxazolin-2-ones with enones under microwave irradiation was given special attention. The carbazole scaffold was provided by the palladium(II)-catalyzed double C-H activation to generate oxidative cyclization of diarylamines. This methodology allowed for formal total syntheses of four naturally occurring pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole alkaloids ellipticine, 9-methoxyellipticine, olivacine, and 9-methoxyolivacine.

Summary: In this study, a low-metal iron-supported catalyst (Fe20/NC-Mg) was reported for the efficient synthesis of quinoxaline compounds, using water as a solvent and without additional bases. The synergistic effect of FeNx site and Mg (OH)2 nanorods in the catalyst played a key role in achieving high yields (82-91%) in 16 examples. The gram-level synthesis and reusability of the catalysts after four cycles demonstrated its industrial application potential.
