Synthesis of Polycyclic Aminocyclobutane Systems by the Rearrangement ofN-(ortho-Vinylphenyl) 2-Azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane Derivatives

Nickel(II)- and Silver(I)-Catalyzed C–H Bond Halogenation of Anilides and Carbamates

ortho-C–H bond halogenation of anilides and N-aryl carbamates using easily available N-halosuccinimides (NXS) as the active halogenation reagent in the presence of nickel or silver catalyst has been developed. This method provides a new approach to 2-haloanilides and carbamates, which may serve as starting materials for the synthesis of pharmaceutically and biologically active compounds.

A Copper-Catalyzed Tandem Cyclization Reaction of Aminoalkynes with Alkynes for the Construction of Tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines Scaffold

A synthetic method for diversely substituted tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines was developed via CuCl-catalyzed cascade transformation of internal aminoalkynes with alkynes under microwave- irradiation.

Synthesis of functionalised azepanes and piperidines from bicyclic halogenated aminocyclopropane derivatives

Reductive amination of aldehydes or ketones with suitable dihalogenated bicyclic aminocyclopropanes gives functionalised ring-expanded products in a single step.

Cyclization and annulation reactions of nitrogen-substituted cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes

This feature article covers recent progress in cyclization and annulation reactions of aminocyclopropanes and aminocyclobutanes to access nitrogen-rich building blocks.
