Abstract
The quest for efficient and versatile methods for heterocycle synthesis continues to drive innovation in organic chemistry. In this context, the cyclization of alkynes catalyzed or mediated by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·OEt2) has emerged as a powerful and widely applicable strategy. This review provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of BF3·OEt2-catalyzed/mediated alkyne cyclization reactions, covering the scope, mechanisms, and applications of these processes. We discuss the synthesis of a diverse range of heterocyclic compounds, including dihydropyrans, quinolines, dehydropiperidines, oxindoles and others, and highlight the unique advantages of BF3·OEt2 as a catalyst/mediator. Recent advances, challenges, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field are also addressed. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for synthetic chemists, inspiring further research and applications in this exciting area.

Metal-Free, PPA-Mediated Fisher Indole Synthesis via Tandem Hydroamination-Cyclization Reaction between Simple Alkynes and Arylhydrazines. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8750.

Abstract
A new variant of Fisher indole synthesis involving Bronsted acid-catalyzed hydrohydrazination of unactivated terminal and internal acetylenes with arylhydrazines is reported. The use of polyphosphoric acid alone either as the reaction medium or in the presence of a co-solvent appears to provide the required balance for activating the C-C triple bond towards the nucleophilic attack of the hydrazine moiety without unrepairable reactivity loss of the latter due to competing amino group protonation. Additionally, the formal hydration of acetylenes to the corresponding ketones occurs under the same conditions, making it an alternative approach for generating carbonyl groups from alkynes.

Abstract
In order to replace the expensive metal/ligand catalysts and classic toxic and volatile solvents, commonly used for the hydration of alkynes, the hydration reaction of alkynes was studied in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIm-BF4) adding boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3·Et2O) as catalyst. Different ionic liquids were used, varying the cation or the anion, in order to identify the best one, in terms of both efficiency and reduced costs. The developed method was efficaciously applied to different alkynes, achieving the desired hydration products with good yields. The results obtained using a conventional approach (i.e., adding BF3·Et2O) were compared with those achieved using BF3 electrogenerated in BMIm-BF4, demonstrating the possibility of obtaining the products of alkyne hydration with analogous or improved yields, using less hazardous precursors to generate the reactive species in situ. In particular, for terminal arylalkynes, the electrochemical route proved to be advantageous, yielding preferentially the hydration products vs the aldol condensation products. Importantly, the ability to recycle the ionic liquid in subsequent reactions was successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Atropisomeric, bench-stable benzoazepine-fused isoindoles were synthesized via oxidation from isoindoline precursors. Using the isoindoles 5d-f as models, the stereochemistry and conformational folding of the systems were examined. Chiral UHPLC was used to analyze the rate of racemization and calculate the Gibbs free energy of enantiomerization (ΔG‡Enant). X-ray crystallography, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations were used to elucidate the three axes of chirality and clarify the structural factors contributing to ΔG‡Enant. Tandem rotation around the axes of chirality precludes the formation of diastereomers, with rotational restriction of the Caryl-Nsulfonamide bond determined as the moderator of atropisomeric stability in the system, affected primarily by steric hindrance as well as by π-stacking interactions facilitated by the folded conformation of the sulfonamide over the isoindole moiety.

Abstract
Highly diastereo-/enantioselective assembly of 2,3-fused indolizine derivatives could be easily available through a cascade allylation/Friedel-Crafts type reaction enabled by a synergistic Cu/Ir catalysis. This designed protocol provides an unprecedented and facile route to enantioenriched indolizines bearing three stereogenic centers in moderate to high yields with excellent stereoselective control, which also featured broad substrate generality. Remarkably, four stereoisomers of the 2,3-fused indolizine products could be efficiently constructed in a predictable manner through the pairwise combination of copper and iridium catalysts. The synthetic utility of this method was readily elaborated by a gram-scale reaction, and synthetic transformations to other important chiral indolizine derivatives. Quantum mechanical explorations constructed a plausible synergetic catalytic cycle, revealed the origins of stereodivergence, and rationalized the protonation-stimulated stereoselective Friedel-Crafts type cyclization to form the indolizine products.

Abstract
A cost-effective, highly regioselective and metal-free version for the synthesis of indolizine derivatives by means of Tf2O-mediated cascade reaction of pyridyl-enaminones and thiophenols/thioalcohols under mild reaction conditions has been reported. Diverse electron-rich indolizine derivatives could be obtained in up to 94% yield via the selective 1,4-addition of vinyl iminium triflate tandem cyclization/aromatization, which allowed the simultaneous construction of C-N and C-S/and one example of C-Se bonds.

Abstract
Herein, a B2pin2-mediated radical cascade cyclization/aromatization reaction of enaminone with pyridine is described. This strategy provides a practical way for the construction of valuable functionalized indolizines under metal-, external oxidant-, and base-free conditions, which could be compatible with various kinds of functional groups, such as halogen, π-system, heterocycle, ferrocenyl, etc. A preliminary mechanism investigation indicated that the pyridine-boryl radical formed in situ triggered the reaction to occur.

Abstract
Indolizine is a nitrogen-containing heterocycle that has a variety of potential biological activities, and some indolizine derivatives with excellent fluorescence properties can even be used as organic fluorescent molecules for biological and material applications. Thus, many approaches for their synthesis have been developed. Among them, radical-induced synthetic approaches are receiving increasing attention owing to their unique advantages, such as efficient heterocycle construction, efficient C-C or C-X bond construction, and high atom- and step-economy. This review systematically examines the current and latest synthetic strategies using radical species or radical intermediates for synthesizing indolizines and their derivatives. This review is classified into two parts based on the type of building blocks used for indolizine ring construction and the type of radical trigger for indolizine derivative construction. We anticipate that this review will provide a deep understanding of this topic, and ultimately help researchers to develop novel approaches for the synthesis of indolizine and its derivatives.
