Abstract
Nitrostyrene derivatives are widely used in organic syntheses as a substrate for Michael addition, photoisomerization and cycloaddition. In contrast, ortho-hydroxy derivatives exhibit unusual behaviors in these reactions. Conjugate addition proceeded upon treatment of the ortho-hydroxy-β-nitrostyrene with an amine; however, subsequent C–C bond cleavage readily occurred to afford the corresponding imine. Moreover, conversion of the trans-isomer to a cis-isomer did not occur efficiently, even when UV light was irradiated. We studied these unusual behaviors of β-nitrostyrene, focusing on the role of the ortho-hydroxy group.

Abstract
AbstractWe present a divergent strategy that permits access to diversely functionalized benzoxazepinium scaffolds fused to various heterocycles. The described strategy features a one-pot combination of the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé reaction and an aza-Michael addition. Methyl (E)-4-(2-formylphenoxy)but-2-enoate and its derivatives are utilized as central elements in this cascade. These building blocks are reacted with a variety of functionalized amino-azines and tert-butyl isocyanide under ytterbium triflate [Yb(OTf)3] catalysis. The ensuing cascade represents a rapid, modular and atom-economic process that leads to the construction of a diverse collection of constrained benzoxazepinium systems from a wide substrate scope.

Abstract
Nitrogen and oxygen medium rings, in particular nine-membered rings, epitomize a unique area of chemical space that occurs in many natural products and biologically appealing compounds. The scarcity of 8- to 12-membered rings among clinically approved drugs is indicative of the difficulties associated with their synthesis, principally owing to the unfavorable entropy and transannular strain. We report here a scandium triflate-catalyzed reaction that allows for a modular access to a diverse collection of nine-membered ring heterocycles in a one-pot cascade and with complete diastereocontrol. This cascade features an intramolecular addition of an acyl group-derived enol to a α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety, leading to N- and O-derived medium-ring systems. Computational studies using the density functional theory support the proposed mechanism. Additionally, a one-pot cascade leading to hexacyclic chromeno[3',4':2,3]indolizino[8,7-b]indole architectures, with six fused rings and four contiguous chiral centers, is reported. This novel cascade features many concerted events, including the formation of two azomethine ylides, [3 + 2]-cycloaddition, 1,3-sigmatropic rearrangement, Michael addition, and Pictet-Spengler reaction among others. Phenotypic screening of the resulting oxazonine collection identified chemical probes that regulate mitochondrial membrane potential, adenosine 5'-triphosphate contents, and reactive oxygen species levels in hepatoma cells (Hepa1-6), a promising approach for targeting cancer and metabolic disorders.
