Summary: A facile synthesis of 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one derivatives was developed by Pd-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling, which does not require toxic and flammable CO gas and tolerates a wide scope of functional groups. Remarkably, this method can be used to construct natural products and drugs containing 4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-one structures.

Summary: A novel series of TGX-221 analogues were synthesized by replacing the 4H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-one scaffold with a 4H-benzo[e][1,3]oxazin-4-one scaffold. The analogues with an -CH(CH3) NH- linker demonstrated comparable activity to TGX-221 analogues, supported by comparative structure-activity relationship analysis. The analogues containing an -CH(CH3)O- linker exhibited lower activity but still displayed useful structure-activity relationship, including a preferred o-methyl substitution.

Summary: An efficient method for the synthesis of alpha-(1,3,5-triazinylthio)-ketones from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 1,3,5-triazine-2-thiols has been developed. The reaction involves C-C bond cleavage and C-S bond reconstruction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and can tolerate beta-keto esters, beta-keto amides, and 1,3-diones. In addition, the annulation of 1,3,5-triazine-2-thiols with chalcones has been achieved for the synthesis of thiazolo-[3,2-a]-[1,3,5]-triazines in moderate to good yields, and with a broad functional group tolerance.

Summary: A conceptually novel catalytic domino approach is presented for the synthesis of highly functional 1,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2-one derivatives. The chemoselectivity is achieved through a proper design of the precursor and the use of Thorpe-Ingold effects. The synthetic diversity of these CO2-based heterocycles is demonstrated, and an unusual ring-expansion sequence is observed from an alpha-alkylidene, five-membered cyclic carbonate to a six-membered cyclic carbamate by N-induced isomerization.

Summary: This paper describes a convenient sequential one-pot approach for the synthesis of a series of 14 pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines, with advantages in terms of yields, reaction times, and convenient gram scale synthesis compared to traditional methods. The combination of efficient heating using dielectric microwave heating and sequential one-pot reactions eliminates the need for laborious work-up and purification of intermediate compounds, allowing for sustainable synthesis processes.

Summary: In this study, the C(sp(2))-H thiocyanation of substituted 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones mediated by K2S2O8 without a metal catalyst was demonstrated for the first time. This unique approach exhibited a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and substitution patterns, leading to the synthesis of thiocyanated scaffolds with high yields and exclusive regioselectivity. Mechanistic investigations were conducted to gain a better understanding of the reaction pathway. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of this protocol was showcased through the construction of biologically relevant analogues.

Summary: An expeditious metal-free synthesis method has been developed for synthesizing diverse 3-ArS/ArSe derivatives with high yields (up to 95%) of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one. This operationally simple reaction, conducted under mild conditions, can be scaled up to gram quantities and shows broad functional group tolerance. Preliminary experimental investigations suggest a radical mechanistic pathway for these transformations.

Summary: A lenient approach for regioselective C3-H chalcogenation and thiocyanation of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones is developed using visible light photocatalysis. This method provides a wide range of functionalized derivatives with moderate to high yields. The protocol utilizes visible light as an environmentally friendly energy source, cost-effective oxidant, and easily obtainable dichalcogenides for selective C-H chalcogenation at room temperature. Additionally, a regioselective thiocyanation method for 4H-pyrido[1,2-a] pyrimidin-4-ones is also developed. Mechanistic pathways for these transformations are proposed based on light on/off and Stern-Volmer studies, as well as quantum yield calculations.

Summary: This article reports a simple synthetic method for preparing various di- and trifluoromethyl-s-triazines from readily available starting materials. Trichloromethyl-substituted triazine electrophiles were obtained in good yield and reacted with amine nucleophiles to afford aminotriazine products in good to excellent yield. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction showed broad scope, smoothly proceeding with both aromatic and aliphatic amines in the presence of non-participating functional groups, and requiring only a catalytic amount of 4-DMAP without stoichiometric base.

Summary: A fundamentally new radical cascade reaction of 2-acyloxyazirines provides a one-step method for the preparation of 5-hydroxy-6H-1,3-oxazin-6-ones. The reaction can be applied to various 2-acyloxy-substituted methyl azirine-2-carboxylates, with the volume of the acyloxy substituent influencing the formation of a side product. Additionally, the hydroxyl group in the resulting product can be easily replaced with different groups through palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

Summary: A novel dearomatization reaction for nitrogen-containing heterocycles was developed, utilizing biorenewable methyl coumalate as an efficient partner under solvent-free conditions. This reaction successfully converted nine types of basic aromatic rings into their pyrido[1,2-a] fused derivatives, with good to excellent yields. The fluorescence properties of the products were harnessed for conjugating fluorescent tags to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and immunoglobulin G.
