Summary: A method is developed for producing regio- and stereodefined trisubstituted iodoalkenes by diverting intermediates from an iodination-electrophilic-cyclization mechanism. The method involves the ring-opening of cyclized sulfonium ion-pair intermediates with nucleophilic iodide to form alkenes. The isolation of the sulfonium ion-pair intermediate allows access to complementary reactivity and the products serve as synthetic building blocks.

Summary: This study investigated the electrophile promoted nucleophilic cyclization of 2-alkynylthiobenzimidazoles. N-halosuccinimides were chosen as the electrophile source for the formation of substituted benzimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles and benzimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines. The reaction pathway via 6-endo-dig or 5-exo-dig cyclization of substrates depended on the substituents to the alkyne moiety. However, in some cases, bromine electrophile caused the benzimidazole moiety to predominate over the alkyne moiety, and aromatic substitution reactions were observed. Compounds with prolonged linkage in 2-(propynylthio)methylbenzimidazoles formed only 7-endo-dig products.

Summary: Herein, a chiral Bronsted acid-catalyzed desymmetrization reaction of diynes is reported, providing a facile access to enantioenriched 1,3-diaminopropanol derivatives and γ-butyrolactones with high enantioselectivities. These products can be used as precursors for the synthesis of versatile N- and O-heterocycles, which are important structural cores of bioactive molecules. Control experiments and theoretical calculations are used to confirm the mechanism and elucidate the origin of enantioinduction.

Summary: In this study, a tandem synthesis of various CF3Se-containing heterocyclic compounds was developed using Tf2O as the catalyst and trifluoromethyl selenoxides as the electrophilic trifluoromethylselenolation reagents. The process is characterized by its mild conditions, easy operation, and good functional group compatibility. A variety of alkynes were successfully transformed into CF3Se-containing indoles, benzofurans, benzothiophenes, isoquinolines, and chromenes in good yields.

Summary: The electrochemical oxidative 5-exo-dig-oxo-halocyclization of o-alkynylbenzamides was successfully achieved using readily available NaX (X = Cl, Br and I) salts under mild reaction conditions. This protocol demonstrates impressive regioselectivity and excellent conversion to halogenated isobenzofuran-1-imines in good yields without the need for stoichiometric amounts of oxidants and transition metal catalysts.

Summary: A metal-free and regioselective electrophilic thiocyanation/cyclization of alkynylbenzoates has been developed to afford a series of thiocyanato-containing isocourmarins catalyzed by Me3SiCl. This method tolerates a wide range of substrates and functional groups, with moderate to excellent yields. The mild reaction conditions make this protocol practical for accessing isocourmarins with a diverse range of transformations.

Summary: The article introduces the application of arynes as radical acceptors, showing how the stable radical TEMPO can react with different ortho-substituted benzynes to generate aryl radicals for subsequent cyclizations, eventually being trapped by TEMPO. This method provides a novel approach for the convenient synthesis of various dihydrobenzofurans, oxindoles, and sultones.

Summary: This paper presents a dearomative iodocyclization of N-(o-alkynyl)aryl isoindole, which leads to the formation of various biologically active benzoindoleazine skeletons containing alkenyl iodine. The resulting products can undergo further cycloaddition or coupling reactions to form a series of highly functionalized N-fused polycyclic scaffolds.

These products can undergo further substitution reactions to yield a series of functionalized heterocyclic compounds. The developed protocol offers mild conditions, simplicity in operation, and excellent compatibility with functional groups.

Summary: This article describes the synthesis of 2',3'-dideoxynucleotide (dd(ON)NTP) and its enzymatic incorporation into DNA polymerases. The incorporation of dd(ON)NTP allows for the integration of the fragmentation step into the library preparation workflow while also enabling the labeling of obtained fragments by platform-specific adapters. This technique has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of genome sequencing.
