Abstract
A novel regioselective annulation of propargylic alcohols with simple carbazoles for the construction of [3,2,1-jk]carbazole scaffolds is described to be the first example of intermolecular synthesis of [3,2,1-jk]carbazoles from simple carbazoles. In situ synthesis of propargyl alcohols from simple, cheap, and easily accessible ketones has also been developed during the one-pot synthesis of [3,2,1-jk]carbazoles.

Abstract
Alkylphenylacetylene derivatives were synthesized and used as reactants in the Larock heteroannulation reaction to investigate the steric influence on regioselectivity. Large alkyl groups preferentially yielded 2-alkyl-3-phenylindole products, while smaller alkyl groups provided 3-alkyl-2-phenylindole as major products. The logarithm of regioisomeric product ratios exhibited good correlations with various steric parameters. Notably, the Charton values provided the best correlation when excluding the cyclopropyl group. In addition, the Boltzmann-weighted Sterimol parameter (wSterimol) was utilized to generate a good predictive model, indicating the B1 wSterimol as the significant regiochemical determining parameter with no obvious deviation for the cyclopropyl group. Relative atomic distances within the DFT-optimized transition state structures revealed good correlations with the logarithm of regioisomeric ratios. Furthermore, the cyclopropyl adsorption complex indicated electronic contribution, explaining the peculiar behavior of this substituent in the experimental observation.

Design, development and applications of copper-catalyzed regioselective (4 + 2) annulations between diaryliodonium salts and alkynes. Commun Chem 2022; 5:145.

Abstract
Diaryliodonium salts have been extensively applied in organic synthesis as aryl cation equivalents. However, in the electrophilic reactions with alkenes or alkynes, only the electrophilic carbon of the diaryliodonium salts was involved while the other part of the aryl ring was not utilized. Herein, a reaction pattern of diaryliodonium was reported as oxa-1,4-dipoles to undergo (4 + 2) cycloaddition reactions with alkynes. Broad spectrum of the two reaction partners could be utilized in this protocol, enabling an operationally simple, high yielding, and regioselective synthetic approach to isocoumarins. Particularly, good to excellent regioselectivities were achieved for the sterically unbiased unsymmetrical diaryl acetylenes, which was challenging for other transition metal-catalyzed processes. The reaction could be scaled up with the ideal 1:1 stoichiometry and the isocoumarin type natural products Oospolactone and Thunberginol A could be obtained in one or three steps through this methodology.

Abstract
A collection of 2,3-arylpyridylindole derivatives were synthesized via the Larock heteroannulation and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against A549 human lung cancer cells. Two derivatives expressed good cytotoxicity with IC 50 values of 1.18±0.25 μM and 0.87±0.10 μM and inhibited tubulin polymerization in vitro , with molecular docking studies suggesting the binding modes of the compounds in the colchicine binding site. Both derivatives have biphasic cell cycle arrest effects depending on their concentrations. At a lower concentration (0.5 μM), the two compounds induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest by activating the JNK/p53/p21 pathway. At a higher concentration (2.0 μM), the two derivatives arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase via Akt signaling and inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Additional cytotoxic mechanisms of the two compounds involved the decreased expression of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 antiapoptotic proteins through inhibition of the STAT3 and Akt signaling pathways.
