Abstract
A regio- and stereoselective stepwise (4+2) annulation of N-propargylamides and α,β-unsaturated imines/ketones has been accomplished with synergetic catalysis by a combination of a gold-complex and a chiral quinine-derived squaramide (QN-SQA), leading to highly functionalized chiral tetrahydropyridines/dihydropyrans in good to high yields with generally excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the in situ formed alkylgold species is the key intermediate in this transformation, and the amide group served as a traceless directing group in this highly selective transformation. This method complements the enantioselective (4+2) annulation of allene reagents, providing the formal internal C-C π-bond cycloaddition products, which is challenging and remains elusive.

Abstract
Diazo compounds and organic azides are widely used as reagents for accessing valuable molecules in multiple areas of fundamental and applied chemistry. Their capacity to undergo versatile chemical transformations arises from the reactive nature of an incipient dinitrogen molecule at the terminal position. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized diazoborane-a boron-centered analog of organic azides and diazoalkanes. The diazoborane displays a strong tendency to release dinitrogen, thus serving as a borylene source, in analogy to organic azides and diazoalkanes serving as nitrene and carbene sources, respectively. Also reminiscent of diazoalkane and organic azide reactivity, the diazoborane serves as a 1,3-dipole that undergoes uncatalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition with an unactivated terminal alkyne, affording a five-membered heterocycle after a two-step rearrangement.

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
Chiral eight-membered heterocycles comprise a diverse array of natural products and bioactive compounds, yet accessing them poses significant challenges. Here we report a gold-catalyzed stereoselective (4 + 4) cycloaddition as a reliable and divergent strategy, enabling readily accessible precursors (anthranils and ortho-quinone methides) to be intercepted by in situ generated gold-furyl 1,4-dipoles, delivering previously inaccessible chiral furan/pyrrole-containing eight-membered heterocycles with good results (56 examples, all >20 : 1 dr, up to 99% ee). Moreover, we achieve a remarkably efficient kinetic resolution (KR) process (s factor up to 747). The scale-up synthesis and diversified transformations of cycloadducts highlight the synthetic potential of this protocol. Computational calculations provide an in-depth understanding of the stereoselective cycloaddition process.

Abstract
Radical-type carbene transfer catalysis is an efficient method for the direct functionalization of C-H and C=C bonds. However, carbene radical complexes are currently formed via high-energy carbene precursors, such as diazo compounds or iodonium ylides. Many of these carbene precursors require additional synthetic steps, have an explosive nature, or generate halogenated waste. Consequently, the utilization of carbene radical catalysis is limited by specific carbene precursors that access the carbene radical intermediate. In this study, we generate a cobalt(III) carbene radical complex from dimethyl malonate, which is commercially available and bench-stable. EPR and NMR spectroscopy were used to identify the intermediates and showed that the cobalt(III) carbene radical complex is formed upon light irradiation. In the presence of styrene, carbene transfer occurred, forming cyclopropane as the product. With this photochemical method, we demonstrate that dimethyl malonate can be used as an alternative carbene precursor in the formation of a cobalt(III) carbene radical complex.

Abstract
The synthesis of allenyl boronates is an important yet challenging topic in organic synthesis. Reported herein is an NHC-gold-catalyzed 1,3-H shift toward allenyl boronates synthesis from simple propargylic B(MIDA)s. Mechanistic studies suggest dual roles of the boryl moiety in the reaction: to activate the substrate for isomerization and at the same time, to prevent the allene product from further isomerization. These effects should be a result of α-anion stabilization and α-cation destabilization conferred by the B(MIDA) moiety, respectively. The NHC-Au catalyst, which is commercially available, is also found to be reactive in alkyne-to-1,3-diene isomerization reactions in an atom-economic and base-free manner.

Abstract
Mechanistic investigation of the gold-catalyzed oxidative reactions of thioalkynes with quinoline N-oxides was performed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the oxidative rearrangement of thioalkynes with quinoline N-oxide to yield the same products, the Cβ-oxidation of thioalkynes was predicted to be competitive with Cα-oxidation, with the Cβ-oxidative process slightly more favorable. However, for the oxidative alkenylation of propargyl aryl thioethers with quinoline N-oxides, the Cβ-oxidation of thioether by quinoline N-oxide generated the product 3-hydroxy-1-alkylidene phenylthiopropan-2-one. Moreover, the ring opening of the four-membered sulfonium intermediate was achieved by the nucleophilic attack of quinoline N-oxide rather than a water molecule.

Abstract
A one-pot gold-catalyzed acyl migration followed by ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation is disclosed, leading to the rapid synthesis of chiral dihydrocarbazoles and dihydrodibenzofuran in generally moderate to good overall yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. The gold-catalyzed acyl migration of propargyl acetates generates α-ylidene-β-diketones with high E/Z ratios, which are then subjected to the ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation without any purification. Importantly, this protocol provides a new type of substrate for asymmetric Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Abstract
A mild and effective strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of C2-quaternary indolin-3-ones from 2-alkynyl arylazides and ketones by gold/chiral amine relay catalysis is described. In this reaction, 2-alkynyl arylazides undergo gold-catalyzed cyclization, nucleophilic attack, and oxidation to form intermediate 2-phenyl-3H-indol-3-ones, followed by an l-proline-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich reaction with ketones, to afford corresponding products in satisfactory yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities.

Abstract
Carbonyl is highly accessible and acts as an essential functional group in chemical synthesis. However, the direct catalytic deoxygenative functionalization of carbonyl compounds via a putative metal carbene intermediate is a formidable challenge due to the requirement of a high activation energy for the cleavage of strong C═O double bonds. Here, we report a class of bench stable and readily available Cp*Mo(II)-complexes as efficient deoxygenation catalysts that could catalyze the direct intermolecular deoxygenative coupling of carbonyl compounds with alkynes. Enabled by this powerful Cp*Mo(II)-catalyst, various valuable heteroarenes (10 different classes) were obtained in generally good yields and remarkable chemo- and regioselectivities. Mechanistic studies suggested that this reaction might proceed via a sequence of C═O double bonds cleavage, carbene-alkyne metathesis, cyclization, and aromatization processes. This strategy not only provided a general catalytic platform for the rapid preparation of heteroarenes but also opened a new window for the applications of Cp*Mo(II)-catalysts in organic synthesis.

A gold-catalyzed, nucleophile-controlled cascade reaction of N-(2-azidophenyl-ynyl)methanesulfonamides with nitriles and water is described that provides structurally diverse 5H-pyrimido[5,4-b]indoles and 2-benzylidene-3-indolinones in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies indicate that the β-sulfonamido-α-imino gold carbene is the key intermediate which is generated through the gold-catalyzed cyclization of N-(2-azidophenyl-ynyl)methanesulfonamides and undergoes formal [4 + 2] cascade annulation with nitriles and intramolecular SN2' type reaction with water, respectively.

Abstract
The coordination and organometallic chemistry of the f-elements, that is group 3, lanthanide, and actinide ions, supported by nitrogen ligands, e.g. amides, imides, and nitrides, has become well developed over many decades. In contrast, the corresponding f-element chemisty with the heavier pnictogen analogues phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth has remained significantly underdeveloped, due largely to a lack of suitable synthetic methodologies and also the inherent hard(f-element)-soft(heavier pnictogen) acid-base mismatch, but has begun to flourish in recent years. Here, we review complexes containing chemical bonds between the f-elements and heavy pnictogens from phosphorus to bismuth that spans five decades of endeavour. We focus on complexes whose identity has been unambiguously established by structural authentication by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with respect to their synthesis, characterisation, bonding, and reactivity, in order to provide a representative overview of this burgeoning area. By highlighting that much has been achieved but that there is still much to do this review aims to inspire, focus and guide future efforts in this area.

Abstract
Phosphinidenes are heavy congeners of nitrenes that have been broadly used as in situ reagents in synthetic phosphorus chemistry and also serve as versatile ligands in coordination with transition metals. However, the detection of free phosphinidenes is largely challenged by their high reactivity and also the lack of suitable synthetic methods, rendering the knowledge about the fundamental properties of this class of low-valent phosphorus compounds limited. Recently, an increasing number of free phosphinidenes bearing prototype structural and bonding properties have been prepared for the first time, thus enabling the exploration of their distinct reactivity from the nitrene analogues. This Concept article will discuss the experimental approaches for the generation of the highly unstable phosphinidenes and highlight their distinct reactivity from the nitrogen analogues so as to stimuate future studies about their potential applications in phosphorus chemistry.

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
α-Carbonyl cations are the umpolung forms of the synthetically fundamental α-carbonyl carbanions. They are highly reactive yet rarely studied and utilized species and their precursors were rather limited. Herein, we report the catalyst-controlled divergent generations of α-carbonyl cations from single alkyne functionalities and the interception of them via Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. Two chemodivergent catalytic systems have been established, leading to two different types of α-carbonyl cations and, eventually, two different types of products, i.e. the α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Broad spectrum of alkynes including aryl alkyne, ynamide, alkynyl ether, and alkynyl sulfide could be utilized and the migration priorities of different groups in the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement step was elucidated. Density functional theory calculations further supported the intermediacy of α-carbonyl cations via the N-O bond cleavage in both the two catalytic systems. Another key feature of this methodology was the fragmentation of synthetically inert tert-butyl groups into readily transformable olefin functionalities. The synthetic potential was highlighted by the scale-up reactions and the downstream diversifications including the formal synthesis of nicotlactone B and galbacin.

Abstract
Alkyne-carbonyl metathesis is a type of carbon-carbon forming reaction involving the construction a carbon-carbon double bond and a carbonyl group in one transformation. Herein, a Au(I)-catalyzed ring-closing alkyne-carbonyl metathesis protocol has been developed to make densely substituted γ-butenolides from propargyl α-ketoesters. It features 100 % atom economy, excellent substrate flexibility and benign functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the coordinative interaction between the gold catalyst and the alkyne might initiate the transfer of an oxygen atom and the formation of the carbon-carbon double bond. By using this gold-catalyzed ring-closing alkyne-carbonyl metathesis as a key step reaction, four naturally occurring butenolide-type compounds including decumbic acid (45 % yield for 3 steps), deoxyisosporothric acid (32 % yield for 5 steps), lichesterinic acid (34 % yield for 5 steps) and isomuronic acid (6 % yield for 8 steps) have been synthesized starting from commercially available starting materials.

Abstract
A protocol was developed to construct five- to seven-membered cyclic nitrones through the gold-catalyzed 1,3-azaprotio transfer of allenyloximes under photoirradiation. The photoisomerization of oximes was suggested to convert the inert stereoisomer to a reactive one. This photodriven and gold-catalyzed ring formation could be further extended to the thermodynamically stable aryl ketoximes with an E-configuration, which previously displayed chemical inertness in the absence of light irradiation.

Catalyst- and Substrate-Controlled Regiodivergent Synthesis of Carbazoles through Gold-Catalyzed Cyclizations of Indole-Functionalized Alkynols. Chempluschem 2023; 88:e202300382. [PMID: 37773019 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202300382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023]
Abstract
A wide variety of regioselectively substituted carbazole derivatives can be synthesized by the gold-catalyzed cyclization of alkynols bearing an indol-3-yl and an additional group at the homopropargylic positions. The regioselectivity of the process can be controlled by both the oxidation state of the gold catalyst and the electronic nature of the substituents of the alkynol moiety. The 1,2-alkyl migration in the spiroindoleninium intermediate, generated after indole attack to the activated alkyne, is favored with gold(I) complexes and for electron-rich aromatic substituents at the homopropargylic position, whereas the 1,2-alkenyl shift is preferred when using gold(III) salts and for alkyl or non-electron-rich aromatic groups.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313122. [PMID: 37707123 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
The regioselectivity of C-H functionalization is commonly achieved by directing groups, electronic factors, or steric hindrance, which facilitate the identification of reaction sites. However, such strategies are less effective for reactants such as simple monofluoroarenes due to their relatively low reactivity and the modest steric demands of the fluorine atom. Herein, we present an undirected gold-catalyzed para-C-H arylation of a wide array of monofluoroarenes using air-stable aryl silanes and germanes at room temperature. A high para-regioselectivity (up to 98 : 2) can be realized by utilizing a dinuclear dppm(AuOTs)2 (dppm=bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) as the catalyst and hexafluorobenzene as the solvent. This provides a general and practical protocol for the concise construction of structurally diverse para-arylated monofluoroarenes through C-H activation manner. It features excellent functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope (>80 examples). Besides, this strategy is also robust for other simple monosubstituted arenes and heteroarenes. Our mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations suggest that para-C-H selectivity arises from highly electrophilic and structurally flexible dinuclear Ar-Au(III)-Au(I) species, coupled with noncovalent interaction induced by hexafluorobenzene.

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 %.

Abstract
Cyclobutanone is a strained motif with broad applications, while direct assembly of the aromatic ring fused cyclobutanones beyond benzocyclobutenone (BCB) skeletons remains challenging. Herein, we report a Rh-catalyzed formal [3+2] annulation of diazo group tethered alkynes involving a 4-exo-dig carbocyclization process, providing a straightforward access to furan-fused cyclobutanones. DFT calculations disclose that, by comparison to the competitive 5-endo-dig process, 4-exo-dig carbocyclization is mainly due to lower angle strain of the key sp-hybridized vinyl cationic transition state in the cyclization step. Using less reactive catalysts Rh2(carboxylate)4 is critical for high selectivity, which is explained as catalyst-substrate hydrogen bonding interaction. This method is proved successful to direct access previously inaccessible and unknown furan-fused cyclobutanone scaffolds, which can participate in a variety of post-functionalization reactions as versatile synthetic blocks. In addition, preliminary antitumor activity study of these products indicates that some molecules exhibite significant anticancer potency against different human cancer cell lines.

Abstract
A gold-catalyzed carbocyclization/imidization cascade reaction has been developed,leading a facile access to the synthesis of functionalized nitrones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The reaction initiated by a catalytic 6-endo-dig diazo-yne carbocyclization to form the key endocyclic vinyl carbene from alkyne-tethered diazo compounds, followed by addition with nitrosoarenes that features an imidization process. Notably, these resulting nitrone products could be smoothly converted into different substituted naphthalenol analogues, such as 4-aminonaphthalen-1-ol, naphthalene-1,4-dione, and naphthalene-1,4-diol derivatives, in high yields. Moreover, the generated products exhibited potential tumor suppression activity in tested cancer celllines; compound 3c (HCT116 cells, IC50 = 7.41 μM; MCF-7 cells, IC50 = 14.28 μM) exhibits higher anticancer potency than other tested compounds.

Abstract
Exploration of the metallomimetic chemistry of main group elements is of the utmost importance from the perspective of both fundamental research and potential applications. Here, we report the synthesis, bonding analysis, and reactivities of an isolable diiminoborane, Mes*B≡N─N≡BMes* (Mes* = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) (1), a BN analogue of butadiyne. This species is characterized by a conjugated B≡N─N≡B moiety, a structural feature that enables the controlled release of N2 when it is exposed to organic nitriles. Furthermore, the N2 unit in 1 could be reduced to an ammonium salt via cleavage of the BN triple bond. Our work shows a rare example of an unsaturated BN system, serving as a platform for both the release and reduction of N2. This discovery opens new pathways and holds substantial influence on the future design of functional main group N2 species.

This tandem alkyne hydration and sequential nucleophilic addition afforded a "base-free" approach to β-hydroxy amides with high efficiency (up to 95 % yields, >50 examples). Vinyl gold intermediate was applied as reactive nucleophile and Fe(acac)3 was used as the critical co-catalyst to prevent undesired protodeauration, allowing this transformation to proceed under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance and excellent stereoselectivity (>20 : 1 d.r. and up to 99 % ee).

Abstract
The alkyne unit is a versatile building block in organic synthesis and the development of selective multifunctionalization of alkynes is an important object of research in this field. Herein, we report an interesting gold-catalyzed, four-component reaction that achieves the oxo-arylfluorination or oxo-arylalkenylation of internal aromatic or aliphatic alkynes, efficiently breaking a carbon-carbon triple bond and forming four new chemical bonds. The reaction divergence can be controlled by site-directing functional groups in the alkynes; the presence of a phosphonate unit favors the oxo-arylfluorination, while the carboxylate motif benefits oxo-arylalkenylation. This reaction is enabled by an Au(I)/Au(III) redox coupling process using Selectfluor as both an oxidant and a fluorinating reagent. A wide range of structurally diverse α,α-disubstituted ketones, and tri- or tetra-substituted unsaturated ketones have been prepared in synthetically valuable yields and with excellent chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity. The gram-scale preparation and late-stage application of complex alkynes have further enhanced their synthetic value.

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
A mono-substituted Au(I) carbene was prepared by reacting HC(N2)(Dmp) (Dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl) with an (o-carboranyl)-diphosphine AuNTf2 complex. It is stable up to -10 °C and was characterized by NMR spectrocopy. According to DFT calculations, the chelating P^P ligand enhances Au → Ccarb backdonation, while the Dmp substituent provides kinetic stabilization but does not bias the electronic structure of the carbene complex.

Abstract
It remains a long-standing challenge to directly convert alkynes to carboxylic derivatives. Herein, a unexpectedly anti-Markovnikov oxidation of a unique Au-allenylidene pathway instead of a traditional α-oxo gold carbene routine is disclosed for in situ formation and transformation of highly unsaturated alkylidene ketenes, which are subsequently trapped by broad nucleophiles such as alcohols, phenols, water, amines, and sulfoximines to easily access α,β-unsaturated drugs and natural product derivatives by a multicomponent reaction. Based on this scenario, polyacrylate and polyacrylamide are efficiently afforded by corresponding multicomponent polymerization.

Abstract
Sigmatropic rearrangement provides a versatile strategy to site-selectively reorganize carbon-skeleton with high atom- and step-economy. Herein, we disclose a Mn(I)-catalyzed sigmatropic rearrangement of β, γ-unsaturated alcohols via C-C σ bond activation. A variety of α-aryl-allylic alcohols and α-aryl-propargyl alcohols could undergo in-situ 1,2- or 1,3- sigmatropic rearrangements to allow for converting to complex structural arylethyl- and arylvinyl- carbonyl compounds under a simple catalytic system. More importantly, this catalysis model can be further applied to assemble macrocyclic ketones through bimolecular [2n + 4] coupling-cyclization and monomolecular [n + 1] ring-extension. The presented skeleton rearrangement would be a useful tool complementary to the traditional molecular rearrangement.

Abstract
The substituted benzene derivatives are essential to organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and material science. However, the 1,3-di- and 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes are far less prevalent in small-molecule drugs than other substitution patterns, likely due to the lack of robust, efficient, and convenient synthetic methods. Here, we report a Mo-catalyzed intermolecular deoxygenative benzene-forming reaction of readily available ynones and allylic amines. A wide range of unsymmetric and unfunctionalized 1,3-di- and 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes were obtained in up to 88% yield by using a commercially available molybdenum catalyst. The synthetic potential of the method was further illustrated by synthetic transformations, a scale-up synthesis, and derivatization of bioactive molecules. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that this benzene-forming process might proceed through a Mo-catalyzed aza-Michael addition/[1,5]-hydride shift/cyclization/aromatization cascade. This strategy not only provided a facile, robust, and modular approach to various meta-substituted benzene derivatives but also demonstrated the potential of molybdenum catalysis in the challenging intermolecular deoxygenative cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
A new gold(I) self-relay catalysis reaction enabling the annulative oxygenation of propargylic alcohols with various O-nucleophiles, such as carboxylic acids, alcohols and TBHP, is reported, producing a series of functionalized benzofurans in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. This protocol benefits from the π- and σ-Lewis acid capability of gold complexes, demonstrating high molecular convergence, broad substrate flexibility, high functional group compatibility and mild conditions.

Abstract
In the last decade, major advances have been made in homogeneous gold catalysis. However, AuI /AuIII catalytic cycle remains much less explored due to the reluctance of AuI to undergo oxidative addition and the stability of the AuIII intermediate. Herein, we report activation of aryl halides at gold(I) enabled by NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands through the development of a new class of L-shaped heterobidentate ImPy (ImPy=imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene) N,C ligands that feature hemilabile character of the amino group in combination with strong σ-donation of the carbene center in a rigid conformation, imposed by the ligand architecture. Detailed characterization and control studies reveal key ligand features for AuI /AuIII redox cycle, wherein the hemilabile nitrogen is placed at the coordinating position of a rigid framework. Given the tremendous significance of homogeneous gold catalysis, we anticipate that this ligand platform will find widespread application.

Abstract
A new catalytic method for the construction of the quinobenzoxazine core has been developed employing the gold-catalyzed cyclization of o-azidoacetylenic ketones in the presence of anthranils. The overall process comprises of a gold-catalyzed 6-endo-dig cyclisation of o-azidoacetylenic ketone leading to a α-imino gold carbene and subsequent carbene transfer to anthranil leading to the 3-aryl-imino-quinoline-4-one intermediate, which undergoes 6π-electrocyclization and aromatization to form the central quinobenzoxazine core. This transformation provides a new approach to a diverse array of quinobenzoxazine structures, in addition to being scalable and having mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
[2,3]-Sigmatropic rearrangement reaction involving sulfonium ylide (Doyle-Kirmse reaction) generated from metal carbenes represents one of the powerful methods for the construction of C(sp3 )-S and C-C bonds. Although significant advances have been achieved, the asymmetric versions via the generation of sulfonium ylides from metal carbenes have been rarely reported to date, and they have so far been limited to diazo compounds as metal carbene precursors. Here, we describe a copper-catalyzed enantioselective Doyle-Kirmse reaction via azide-ynamide cyclization, leading to the practical and divergent assembly of an array of chiral [1,4]thiazino[3,2-b]indoles bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in generally moderate to excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities. Importantly, this protocol represents a unique catalytic asymmetric Doyle-Kirmse reaction via a non-diazo approach and an unprecedented asymmetric [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement via α-imino metal carbenes.
