Abstract
We present an efficient approach for synthesizing pyridoquinazolinones in the presence of triflic anhydride utilizing anthranils and 2-chloropyridines as starting materials. In this process, Tf2O initially activates anthranils forming an electrophilic 1-((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)benzo[c]isoxazol-1-ium species. This species undergoes an in situ annulation reaction with 2-chloropyridines, resulting in therapeutically useful pyridoquinazolinones. The reaction is tolerant to various functional groups, allowing access to a wide range of substituted pyridoquinazolinones in good yields. Furthermore, the synthesis of euxylophoricine B, known to be an antitumor agent, was also achieved.

Abstract
The regiodivergent synthesis of 4- and 5-sulfenyl oxazoles from 1,4,2-dioxazoles and alkynyl thioethers has been achieved. Gold-catalysed conditions are used to favour the formation of 5-sulfenyl oxazoles via β-selective attack of the nitrenoid relative to the sulfenyl group. In contrast, 4-sulfenyl oxazoles are formed by α-selective reaction under Brønsted acid conditions from the same substrates. The nature of stabilising gold-sulfur interactions have been investigated by natural bond orbital analysis, showing that the S→Au interactions are significantly stronger in the intermediate that favours the 5-sulfenyl oxazoles. A kinetic survey identifies catalyst inhibition processes. This study into the regiodivergent methods includes the development of telescoped annulation-oxidation protocols for regioselective access to oxazole sulfoxides and sulfones.

Abstract
Quinolines are biologically and pharmaceutically important N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds, which have broad applications in medicinal chemistry. Thus, their efficient synthesis has attracted extensive attention, and a broad range of synthetic strategies have been established. Of note, gold-catalyzed methodologies for the synthesis of quinolines have greatly advanced this field. Various gold-catalyzed intermolecular annulation reactions, such as annulations of aniline derivatives with carbonyl compounds or alkynes, annulations of anthranils with alkynes, and annulations based on A3-coupling reactions, as well as intramolecular cyclization reactions of azide-tethered alkynes, 1,2-diphenylethynes, and 2-ethynyl N-aryl indoles, have been developed. This review provides an overview of this exciting research area. Typical achievements in reaction methodologies and plausible reaction mechanisms are summarized.

Abstract
In this study, we discover a good NO/HNO precursor, N-hydroxypyridinesulfonamide, and the regioselective radical nitrososulfonylation reaction of propargyl alcohols. Direct and unique isoxazole synthesis afforded a good-to-high yield of 5-alkyl-3-aryl-4-pyridinesulfonylisoxazoles. Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation could efficiently proceed in the presence of thiazolidine-2,4-dione. This work provides a powerful method for the synthesis and functionalization of alkyl-substituted isoxazoles and explores a new investigation route for drug-drug discovery.

Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed oxidative C3-alkenylation of anthranils (2,1-benzisoxazoles) with various styrenes has been successfully achieved. The C3-alkenylated anthranils were subsequently utilized in a [4+2]-cycloaddition with in situ generated α,β-unsaturated ketones leading to the synthesis of a diverse range of olefin-containing quinolines. Notably, this reaction exclusively yielded mono-alkenylated products with E-selectivity. The optimized catalytic conditions were compatible with a wide variety of substituted olefins and anthranils, forming various C3-alkenylated anthranils with good yields. To showcase the application of the present methodology, the C3-alkenylated anthranils have been employed as synthons to access a wide range of substituted quinolines.

Abstract
Gold catalysis is an important method for alkyne functionalization. Here we report the gold-catalyzed formal [3+2] aminative cyclization of yndiamides and isoxazoles in a direct synthesis of polysubstituted diaminopyrroles, which are important motifs in drug discovery. Key to this process is the formation, and subsequent cyclization, of an α-imino gold Fischer carbene, which represents a new type of gold carbene intermediate. The reaction proceeds rapidly under mild conditions, with high regioselectivity being achieved by introducing a subtle steric bias between the nitrogen substituents on the yndiamide. DFT calculations revealed that the key to this regioselectivity was the interconversion of isomeric gold keteniminiun ions via a low-barrier π-complex transition state, which establishes a Curtin-Hammett scenario for isoxazole addition. By using benzisoxazoles as substrates, the reaction outcome could be switched to a formal [5+2] cyclization, leading to 1,4-oxazepines.

Abstract
A highly efficient heterogeneous gold(I)-catalyzed heterocyclization of ynamides with benzyl or indolyl azides has been achieved in 1,2-dichloroethane under mild conditions via a heterogenized α-imino gold carbene intermediate using 5 mol% of SBA-15-anchored strongly hindered NHC-gold(I) complex [IPr-SBA-15-AuNTf2] as the catalyst, delivering a wide range of valuable 2-aminoindoles or 3-amino-β-carbolines in mostly good to excellent yields with high regioselectivity. Furthermore, the new heterogenized NHC-gold(I) complex displays the same catalytic activity as IPrAuNTf2 and is facile to recover by centrifugation of the reaction mixture and can be reused at least seven times without any appreciable drop in its catalytic activity.

Abstract
An efficient, highly selective and divergent synthetic method to construct 2-substituted indoles and aryl-annulated carbazoles via the intermolecular generation of α-imino gold carbenes from terminal alkynes or diynes in combination with sulfilimines is disclosed. Importantly, the tandem reaction is proposed to proceed through an intermolecular gold carbene generation/C-H annulation followed by the activation of a second alkyne leading to 6-endo-dig cyclization, which is significantly different from previous dual activation or 1,6-carbene shift approaches for diyne systems. In the case of ortho-alkynylaniline as starting material, an unexpected regioselective formation of the indole moiety via the intermolecular path, instead of intramolecular hydroamination was discovered. This reactivity paved the way for a one-pot synthesis of the 11H-indolo [3,2-c] quinoline scaffold by exploiting the formed amino indole for a subsequent Pictet-Spengler reaction with aldehydes. The photophysical properties of the carbazoles indicated good violet-blue emission with quantum yields up to 40 %.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:18025-18037.

Abstract
Electrocyclizations of acyclic conjugated π-motifs have emerged as a versatile and effective strategy for accessing various ring systems with excellent functional group tolerability and controllable selectivity. Typically, the realization of 6π-electrocyclization of heptatrienyl cations to afford seven-membered motif has proven difficult due to the high-energy state of the cyclizing seven-membered intermediate. Instead, it undergoes the Nazarov cyclization, affording a five-membered pyrrole product. However, the incorporation of a Au(i)-catalyst, a nitrogen atom and tosylamide group in the heptatrienyl cations unexpectedly circumvented the aforementioned high energy state to afford a seven-membered azepine product via 6π-electrocyclization in the annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with isoxazoles. Therefore, extensive computational studies were carried out to investigate the mechanism of Au(i)-catalyzed [4+3] annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazoles to produce a seven-membered 4H-azepine via the 6π-electrocyclization of azaheptatrienyl cations. Computational results showed that after the formation of the key α-imino gold carbene intermediate, the annulation of 3-en-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazole occurs via the unusual 6π-electrocyclization to afford a seven-membered 4H-azepine exclusively. However, the annulation of 3-cyclohexen-1-ynamides with dimethylisoxazole occurs via the commonly proposed aza-Nazarov cyclization pathway to majorly generate five-membered pyrrole derivatives. The results from the DFT predictive analysis revealed that the key factors responsible for the different chemo-, and regio-selectivities observed are the cooperating effect of the tosylamide group on C1, the uninterrupted π-conjugation pattern of the α-imino gold(i) carbene and the substitution pattern at the cyclization termini. The Au(i)-catalyst is believed to assist in the stabilization of the azaheptatrienyl cation.

Abstract
Polycyclic N-heterocycles are important structural motifs commonly found in bioactive compounds, however, their selective construction via the cyclization of allenynes remains challenging yet highly desirable. Here we show a homogeneous copper-catalyzed hetero Diels-Alder (HDA) reaction of allenynes with cis-diazenes (PTAD, 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione), allowing the practical and efficient synthesis of a diverse array of valuable polycyclic N-heterocycles. A temperature-controlled and stereocontrolled chemoselectivity of the reaction was observed, leading to the chemodivergent synthesis of tetracyclic pyrrolidines, pentacyclic triazepanes and tricyclic pyrrolidines. Compared with related Au-catalyzed cyclization of allenynes, this copper catalysis achieves cyclization of allenynes terminating in C-N bond formation via the HDA reaction.

Abstract
Herein we describe a self-acid-enabled chemo-, regio-, and stereospecific cis-hydrophenoxylation of ynamides under reagent-free conditions. The presence of a non-polar solvent such as toluene was found to be beneficial to facilitate the rate-limiting proton transfer between phenols and ynamides to form an intimate ion pair, which is followed by a swift nucleophilic attack of the phenolate oxygen on keteniminium, fulfilling the overall hydrofunctionalization event. This protocol is operationally simple and easily scalable, tolerates a wide variety of functional groups, and shows good compatibility with the requirements of modern green chemistry.

Abstract
TBAI-catalysed [4+4]-cyclization reaction of anthranils with hydrazones to deliver oxa-bridged eight-membered heterocycles in accepted yields was developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction involved the in situ generation of vinyldiazenes from readily available hydrazones followed by an aza-Michael addition of the anthranil substrates onto the vinyldiazenes and subsequent annulation. This transformation involved the formation of two new C-N bonds and C-O bond in one pot, overcoming the synthetic limitations of anthranils in organic chemistry. This strategy benefits from high efficiency and atomic economy with mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
A new mesoporous MCM-41-immobilized dichloro(pyridine-2-carboxylato)gold(III) complex [MCM-41-PicAuCl2] was synthesized via an addition reaction of a dichloro(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylato)gold(III) complex to triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane, followed by immobilization on MCM-41 and was characterized by different physico-chemical techniques. In the presence of 5 mol% of MCM-41-PicAuCl2, the annulation reaction between anthranils and ynamides proceeded smoothly under mild conditions to afford diverse 6- or 5-formylindoles with high atom economy and good to excellent yields. This new heterogenized gold(III) complex can be easily recovered through a simple filtration process and recycled more than seven times without any apparent loss of its catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Among the variety of sulfonamides, triflamides (CF3SO2NHR, TfNHR) occupy a special position in organic chemistry. Triflamides are widely used as reagents, efficient catalysts or additives in numerous reactions. The reasons for the widespread use of these compounds are their high NH-acidity, lipophilicity, catalytic activity and specific chemical properties. Their strong electron-withdrawing properties and low nucleophilicity, combined with their high NH-acidity, makes it possible to use triflamides in a vast variety of organic reactions. This review is devoted to the synthesis and use of N-trifluoromethanesulfonyl derivatives in organic chemistry, medicine, biochemistry, catalysis and agriculture. Part of the work is a review of areas and examples of the use of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (triflimide, (CF3SO2)2NH, Tf2NH). Being one of the strongest NH-acids, triflimide, and especially its salts, are widely used as catalysts in cycloaddition reactions, Friedel–Crafts reactions, condensation reactions, heterocyclization and many others. Triflamides act as a source of nitrogen in C-amination (sulfonamidation) reactions, the products of which are useful building blocks in organic synthesis, catalysts and ligands in metal complex catalysis, and have found applications in medicine. The addition reactions of triflamide in the presence of oxidizing agents to alkenes and dienes are considered separately.

Abstract
The design and development of an Ag(I)-promoted, highly diastereoselective cycloisomerization strategy for the synthesis of syn-1,2-diarylpyrrolo[1,2-a]indol-3-ones from N-alkynyl-indole-2-carbinols is reported. The H218O control experiment and identification of 18O-labeled product suggested the involvement of an external water. The 7-azaindole substrates showned a distinct reactivity to give the (Z)-8-benzylideneoxazolo[3',4':1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines. Key features of this strategy are its 100% atom economy, access to important heterocycles, diverse substrate scope, yields up to 95%, operationally simple procedure, and distinct reactivity of indole vs 7-azaindoles.

Abstract
α-Ketoamides have been found to be an important functional group in a broad spectrum of inhibitors such as the Corona virus and other viruses. Here we report an unprecedented gold-catalyzed 2-fold reaction of a bromoalkyne with anthranils. Hydrolysis of the initial product then directly leads to α-ketoamides. Water addition to the intermediate α-iminoimidoyl halides delivered α-ketoamides from a broad range of bromoalkynes.

Abstract
AbstractHere, we describe a general and modular strategy for the rapid assembly of benzo[c]phenanthridine (BCP) derivatives using homogeneous gold catalysis. Notably, in contrast to traditional methods based on the specially preformed substrates that have an inherent preference for the formation of this class of compounds with limited flexibility, this protocol is achieved via a selectively intramolecular cascade of a diazo-tethered alkyne and subsequently an intermolecular cyclization with a nitrile to facilitate the successive C-N and C-C bonds formation. This methodology uses readily available nitriles as the nitrogen source to deliver the products in good yield with excellent functional group compatibility. A preliminary anti-tumor activity study of these generated products exhibits high anticancer potency against five tumor cell lines, including HeLa, Mel624, SW-480, 8505C, LAN-1. Besides, we report a catalyst-controlled intermolecular cycloaddition/intramolecular insertion of the substrate with a fulvene to provide fused polycarbocycles containing a seven-membered ring.

Abstract
The present work focuses on a theoretical investigation of mechanistic features, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and effect of substituents in the gold-catalyzed reactions of alkynyl thioethers and isoxazoles. The DFT calculations reveal that the nucleophilic attack of isoxazole to a β-position of catalyst-bound ynamide forms a vinyl intermediate. This undergoes cleavage of the N-O isoxazole bond and isomerizes to form an α-imino α'-sulfenyl gold carbene complex with stabilization of the Au-S interaction. For 3,5-dimethylisoxazole, the reaction follows a formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition pathway and a 1,3-H migration to give the pyrrole products. Replacement of 3,5-dimethylisoxazole by 3,5-dimethyl-4-phenylisoxazole leads to the formation of deacylative annulation products and desulfenylated 3-acylated pyrroles. Reactions with 4-methyl-3,5-diphenylisoxazoles induce the formation of N-acylated pyrroles and desulfenylated 3-acylated pyrroles. For the minor pathway, the α-addition and 1,2-S migration result in sulfur-substituted β-keto enamide derivatives. In addition, the unique features of regio- and chemoselectivity were rationalized by the distortion and interaction analysis. Apart from fully rationalizing the experimental results, the theoretical DFT data give an important support for comprehending related types of reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
A process for the synthesis of C7-functionalized indoles using para-substituted 2-alkynylanilines as starting materials was reported. The process involves a dearomatization, an 1,2-addition by organic lithium or Grignard reagents, an aromatization-driven allylic rearrangement, and a cyclization. A variety of groups including alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, or alkynyl groups were selectively installed at the C7 site of indoles leading to the formation of 2,5,7-trisubstituted indoles.

Abstract
Pt(II) and Au(III)-mediated intermolecular divergent annulations of benzofurazans and ynamides highlighted the N- to O-selectivity of tunable metal carbene intermediates. PtCl2 with a bulky phosphite ligand resulted in the specific synthesis of six-membered quinoxaline N-oxides and successfully suppressed the in-situ deoxygenation of N-oxides. On the other hand, an unique gold(III) catalyst (2,6-di-MeO-PyrAuCl3) led to the five-membered ring products, benzimidazoles. A broad scope of functional groups was well compatible, delivering better yields and selectivities in contrast to conventional gold(I) catalysts. The different behavior of presumed platinum(II) and gold(III) carbenes with respect to chemoselectivity was intensively examined by experiments and DFT calculations. A detailed mechanistic study, based on DFT calculations, revealed that the highly electrophilic carbocation-like gold(III) carbene triggers an oxophilic cyclization, followed by a cascade ring contraction and acyl migration. On the contrary, the Pt carbene species is less cationic, favoring the formation of the six-membered ring via N-attack. Benzofurazan, a cyclic heterocycle, can form open-chain metal carbene species in the presence of suitable catalysts. Here the authors show divergent reactivity when using gold(III) and platinum(II) catalysts, and perform computational and experimental mechanistic studies to explain the differing reactivity

Abstract
C-H functionalization has been emerging as a powerful method to establish carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Many efforts have been devoted to transition-metal-catalyzed direct transformations of C-H bonds. Metal carbenes generated in situ from transition-metal compounds and diazo or its equivalents are usually applied as the transient reactive intermediates to furnish a catalytic cycle for new C-C and C-X bond formation. Using this strategy compounds from unactivated simple alkanes to complex molecules can be further functionalized or transformed to multi-functionalized compounds. In this area, transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds has been paid continuous attention. Diverse catalyst design strategies, synthetic methods, and potential applications have been developed. This critical review will summarize the advance in transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds dated up to July 2021, by the categories of C-H bonds from aliphatic C(sp3)-H, aryl (aromatic) C(sp2)-H, heteroaryl (heteroaromatic) C(sp2)-H bonds, alkenyl C(sp2)-H, and alkynyl C(sp)-H, as well as asymmetric carbene insertion to C-H bonds, and more coverage will be given to the recent work. Due to the rapid development of the C-H functionalization area, future directions in this topic are also discussed. This review will give the authors an overview of carbene insertion chemistry in C-H functionalization with focus on the catalytic systems and synthetic applications in C-C bond formation.

Abstract
A new synthetic alternative to the synthesis of 3-methyl indoles and 3-methyl indoline-2-ols with an excellent atomic economy is presented in this study. It is demonstrated that the intramolecular interrupted hydroaminomethylation (HAM) reaction is a powerful tool for the formation of these compounds, which exhibit wide-ranging biological activity. Several N-Protected-2-vinyl anilines were synthesized and involved in the reaction producing the corresponding 3-methylindole or 3-methyl indoline-2-ol depending on the nature of the N-protecting groups.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:27483-27491. [PMID: 36276040 PMCID: PMC9516356 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra05382a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to reveal the mechanism of gold(i)-catalyzed annulation of N-allylynamides and benzofuroxans as nitrene transfer reagents to construct azaheterocyclic compounds. The calculated results revealed that the reaction mechanism mainly undergoes eight processes. Among the reaction steps, intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the imino N atom on the α-position of activated gold keteniminium is a rate-determining process, which is different from that proposed previously by experiment. The chemoselectivity of the products is controlled by competition between the cyclopropanation of α-imino gold carbenes and intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the phenyl ring on α-imino gold carbenes, and could be explained by NPA charge. The different yields of cyclopropanated product in different solvents are dictated by the relative polarity leading to the different energy barriers of the rate-determining steps. The present work expounds the experimental observation at the molecular level and is informative for exploring efficient syntheses of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes. DFT calculations were employed to study the mechanism and origin of chemoselectivity of gold-catalyzed annulation of N-allylynamides and benzofuroxans as nitrene transfer reagents.![]()

Abstract
We report a practical route for the synthesis of valuable 3-aryl anthranils from readily available anthranils and simple arenes by using the classical electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) strategy. This transformation goes through an electrophilic substitution and rearomatisation sequence by employing Tf2O as an effective activator. A wide range of arenes were compatible in this transformation, delivering various structurally diversified 3-aryl anthranils in good yields and high regioselectivity. In addition, a variety of readily available feedstocks such as olefins, alkenyl triflates, silyl enolethers, carbonyl compounds, thiophenols and thiols could also participate in the reaction to achieve the C3 alkenylation, alkylation and thioetherification of anthranils. Of note, the synthesized 3-aryl anthranils proved to be a highly robust platform to access a series of biologically active compounds, drug derivatives and organic optoelectronic materials. A practical route for the synthesis of valuable 3-aryl anthranils from readily available anthranils and simple arenes has been achieved through an electrophilic substitution and rearomatization sequence by employing Tf2O as an effective activator.![]()

Abstract
The combination of a nucleophilic nitrene equivalent, a triple bond and a π-acid catalyst has underpinned numerous efficient transformations for the preparation of azacycles. This personal account details our efforts in developing an annulation strategy. Adding a nucleophilic nitrenoid to an activated alkyne can generate carbenoid character that is then quenched by a cyclisation onto the nitrenoid substituent. The use and development of N-acyl and N-heterocyclic pyridinium-N-aminides as 1,3-N,O and 1,3-N,N-dipole equivalents is discussed in the context of oxazole and heterocycle-fused imidazole formation, respectively. The resulting processes are highly efficient, practically straightforward, and tolerate considerable structural and functional group variation. Our use of heteroatom-substituted alkynes as enabling tools for reaction discovery is discussed. The reactivity accessed from the strong donor-like properties of ynamides is complemented by that obtained from alkynyl thioethers, which are emerging as interesting substrates for π-acid catalysis.

Abstract
Divergent Pd-catalyzed reaction cascades with various 1,3-diynamides yielding either 2-amino-3-alkynylindoles or 2-amino-4-alkenylquinolines were established. Omitting or adding TBAF (tetrabutylammonium fluoride) to the reaction of N,N-(2-iodophenyl)(4-toluenesulfonyl)-1,3-diynamides with secondary or primary amines in the presence of KOH in THF and catalytic amounts of Pd(PPh3 )4 completely changed the outcome of the reaction. In the absence of TBAF, 2-amino-3-alkynylindoles were the sole products, while the presence of TBAF switched the product formation to 2-amino-4-alkenylquinolines. Deuterium labeling proceeded selectively at the C3 and C11 positions of the 2-amino-4-alkenylquinoline products and this suggests the unprecedented formation of [4]cumulenimines from 1,3-diynamides as reactive key intermediates.

Abstract
The gold-catalyzed reaction between benzofuroxans, functioning as nitrene transfer reagents, and N-allylynamides leads to 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-imines. This highly selective annulation proceeds smoothly under mild conditions (5 mol % Ph3PAuNTf2, PhCl, 60 °C) and exhibits high functional group tolerance (21 examples, ≤96% yields). The obtained cyclopropanated products represent a useful synthetic platform with an easily modulated substitution pattern as illustrated by their postmodifications. Intramolecular cyclopropanation of gold α-imino carbene intermediates is suggested as a key step of the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Ynamide, a unique species with inherited polarization of nitrogen lone pair electron to triple bond, has been largely used for the developement of novel synthetic methods and the construction of unusual N-bearing heterocycles. The reaction versatility of ynamide on umpolung reactivity, radical reactions and asymmetric synthesis have been recently reviewed. This review provides an overall scenic view into the gold catalyzed transformation of ynamides. The ynamides reactivity towards nitrogen-transfer reagents, such as azides, nitrogen ylides, isoxazoles, and anthranils; oxygen atom-transfer reagents, like nitrones, sulfoxides, and pyridine N-oxides; and carbon nucleophiles under gold catalysis are herein uncovered. The scope as well the mechanistic insights of each reaction is also briefed.

Abstract
Gold coordinated to neutral phosphines (R3 P), N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) or anionic ligands is catalytically active in functionalizing various C-H bonds with high selectivity. The sterics/electronic nature of the studied C-H bond, oxidation state of gold and stereoelectronic capacity of the coordinated auxiliary ligand are some of the associated selectivity factors in gold-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions. Hence, in this review a comprehensive update about the action of different types of gold catalysts, from simple to sophisticated ones, on C-H bond reactions and their regiochemical outcome is disclosed. This review also highlights the catalytic applications of Au(I)- and Au(III)-species in creating new opportunities for the regio- and site-selective activation of challenging C-H bonds. Finally, it also intends to stress the potential applications in selective C-H bond activation associated with a variety of heterocycles recently described in the literature.

Abstract
In recent years, transition-metal-catalyzed tandem cyclization reactions of alkynes, especially those involving a metal carbene intermediate, have received worthwhile interest, as this type of reaction does not require the use of risky and potentially explosive diazo compounds as starting materials for carbene generation. A significant and general strategy for the stereospecific synthesis of 5-membered cycles is Nazarov cyclization based on the 4π-conrotatory electrocyclization of a conjugated pentadienyl cation to afford a cyclopentenyl cation. In this review, we introduce an overview of recent advances in the transition-metal-catalyzed Nazarov cyclization of alkynes via a metal carbene intermediate, and categorize these reactions according to the structure of the metal carbene. Our aim is to accelerate advancements in this enchanting area of research.

Abstract
![]()
The combination of
nucleophilic nitrenoids and π-acid catalysis
has emerged as a powerful tool in heterocycle synthesis. Accessing
more varied heterocycle-substitution patterns by maintaining the same
reaction pathways across different alkynes remains a challenge. Here
we show that Au(I) catalysis of isoxazole-based nitrenoids with alkynyl
thioethers provides controlled access to (3 + 2) annulation by a regioselective
addition β to the sulfenyl group. The reaction with isoxazole-containing
nitrenoids delivers sulfenylated pyrroles and indoles as single regioisomers
bearing useful functional groups and structural variety.
