Copper-Mediated Synthesis of (E)-1-Azido and (Z)-1,2-Diazido Alkenes from 1-Alkene-1,2-diboronic Esters: An Approach to Mono- and 1,2-Di-(1,2,3-Triazolyl)-Alkenes and Fused Bis-(1,2,3-Triazolo)-Pyrazines

Synthesis of Tetrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines via a Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reaction/[3 + 2] Cycloaddition Sequence

An efficient copper-catalyzed method for the synthesis of tetrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines has been developed starting from alkenyl-1,2-bis(boronates). The domino reaction underwent a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and an azidation followed by an in situ [3 + 2] cycloaddition. Regioselective synthesis has been demonstrated by inverting the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and the azidation.

Regio- and stereocontrolled synthesis of borylated E-enynes, Z-enediynes and derivatives from alkenyl-1,2-bis-(boronates)

An efficient stereo-controlled synthesis of enyne and enediyne derivatives, via sequential Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions from easily prepared 1-alkene-1,2-diboronic esters and alkynyl bromides, is reported. The resulting enyne boronic esters were subjected to Borono-Mannich and Suzuki coupling reactions independently to obtain α,β-unsaturated aminoester and tri-substituted olefin derivatives, respectively. Additionally, divergent syntheses of triazole and cyclopropylboronate derivatives are also reported.

Consecutive 2-azidoallylation/click cycloaddition of active methylene for synthesis of functionalized hepta-1,6-dienes with a bis-1,2,3-triazole scaffold

A tandem 2-azidoallylation/click cycloaddition reaction to access novel hepta-1,6-diene skelecton can be successfully accomplished with methylene compounds, phenolic substituted vinyl azide and alkynes in one pot.
