Abstract H )‐one fragments has been developed using propargylic alcohols and 4‐hydroxy‐2H ‐chromen‐2‐ones as the substrates. The protocol provides a one‐step, environmentally benign method of accessing a broad range of pyrano[3,2‐c]chromen‐5(2H )‐one derivatives in excellent yields under mild conditions and with good functional‐group tolerance. The method is effective on the gram scale, which highlights the inherent practicality of this synthetic transformation.magnified image -

Abstract A Rh(II)/Au(I) catalyzed carbene cascade approach for the stereoselective synthesis of diverse spirocarbocycles is described. The cascade reaction involves a rhodium carbene initiated
sp 2C−H functionalization followed by a gold catalyzed Conia‐ene cyclization. The cascade reaction accommodates a variety of aryl substituents as well as ring sizes and proceeds with high diastereoselectivity providing access to diverse spirocarbocycles.magnified image -

Abstract The direct formation of aryl C−O bonds via the intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling of a C−H bond and a pendant alcohol represents a powerful synthetic transformation. Herein, we report a method for intramolecular arene C−H etherification via an umpoled alcohol cyclization mediated by an I(III)
N ‐HVI reagent. This approach provides access to functionalized chromane scaffolds from primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols via a cascade cyclization‐iodonium salt formation, the latter providing a versatile functional handle for downstream derivatization. Computational studies support initial formation of an umpoled O‐intermediate via I(III) ligand exchange, followed by competitive direct and spirocyclization/1,2‐shift pathways.magnified image -

Abstract With sunlight or blue LEDs irradiation, regioselective decarboxylative alkylation of various non‐aromatic heterocycles has been realized via C(
sp 3)‐centered radical C(sp 2)−C(sp 3) bond formation under oxidant‐free conditions at room temperature. This reaction readily incorporates various functional alkyl groups into heterocyclic compounds without observation of any alkyl radical rearrangement and represents a mild and general tool for the preparation of valuable alkyl group‐functionalized heterocyclic compounds.magnified image -
Transition Metal‐Free Aroylation of Diarylmethanes with N ‐Bn‐ N ‐Boc Arylamides and N ‐Acylpyrrolesmore » « less
Abstract In the last 20 years, efficient transition metal catalysts for the α‐arylation of enolates have been introduced. Despite the popularity and utility of these reactions, there remains room for improvement (reduced costs, elimination of transition metals and specialized ligands). Herein is reported a general, scalable and green method for aroylation of simple diarylmethane pronucleophiles through direct acyl C−N cleavage of
N ‐Bn−N ‐Boc arylamides andN ‐acylpyrroles under transition metal‐free conditions. Importantly, a 1 : 1 ratio of the amide to the pronucleophile is employed. Unlike use of Weinreb amides, this method avoids preformed organometallics (organolithium and Grignard reagents) and does not employ cryogenic temperatures, which are difficult and costly to achieve on scale. The operationally simple protocol provides straightforward access to a variety of sterically and electronically diverse 1,2,2‐triarylethanones, a group of compounds with high‐value in medicinal chemistry.magnified image
