Abstract
Direct construction of gem-difluorinated heterocycles represents a long-standing challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we developed a transition-metal-free photocatalytic radical addition/cyclization of BrCF2COR with 2-cyanoaryl acrylamides to give gem-difluorinated naphthyridinone scaffolds in moderate to good yields. Furthermore, some natural products were found to be suitable in the reaction system. The easily available substrates, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, and wide functionality tolerance show practical and environmental advantages in this method.

Abstract
Structurally diverse cyclopenta[4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-a]indoles heterocycles were smoothly constructed in good to excellent yields (up to 99 %) with excellent diastereoselectivities (>19:1 dr) through a novel and facile strategy based on BF3-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation/Aldol/Dehydrative cyclization cascade reaction. The anti-proliferative activity of these newly synthesized polycyclic indoles was screened, and all the functionalized reductive derivatives exhibited favorable anti-tumor activity. Notably, compound 4ae displayed the remarkable inhibitory activity against MCF-7 and HeLa cells with IC50 values of 4.62 μM and 7.71 μM, respectively. Mechanistically, the representative compound 4ae could effectively induce apoptosis of MCF-7 cells in crediting to up-regulate the relative expression of apoptotic protein BAX/Bcl-2, subsequently activate Pro-caspase 9 and cleave PARP, simultaneously block the cell cycle through down- and up-regulate the expression of cyclin B1 and p53, respectively. Moreover, compound 4ae also exhibited promising antineoplastic efficacy in subcutaneous MCF-7 xenograft mice which manifest significant shrunken tumors conspicuous nuclear apoptotic signal and minimal systemic toxicity. This strategy not only established a novel and efficient method for the assembly of structurally complex indole heterocycles, but also provided a series of compounds possessing attractive anti-cancer activity, which holds immense potential for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hydroxanthones have attracted considerable attention due to their significance in organic and biological chemistry, yet their synthesis remains a great challenge. In this study, a series of chromone-tethered alkenes are designed, and a radical cyclization reaction of these chromone derivatives has been achieved under photoredox conditions. The reaction uses bromodifluoroacetamides or bromodifluoroacetates as coupling partners, affording a broad range of functionalized tetrahydroxanthone products with up to 85% yields. The reaction is triggered via the generation of difluoroacetate radicals or alkene radical cations with fac-Ir(ppy)3 or 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)-1,4-dicyanobenzene as a photocatalyst. This approach offers access to various tetrahydroxanthone derivatives from readily available starting materials and enriches the research content of heteroarene-tethered alkenes.

Abstract
An efficient catalytic strategy toward the synthesis of N-substituted 3-methylindoles from inactive o-dihaloarenes and N-allylamines was developed by using a 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)acenaphthoimidazol-2-ylidene (AnIPr)-ligated oxazoline palladacycle. It enabled a very broad substrate scope tolerating different functional groups, electronic properties, and steric bulkiness and afforded desired products in good to excellent yields. Importantly, it showed great potential to synthesize several bioactive compounds and key intermediates of natural products in high yields.

Abstract
Spiro[indoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine] and spiro[indoline-3,3'-piperidine] derivatives were synthesized in a substitution-controlled manner under the catalysis of cationic gold(I) species in the presence of Hantzsch ester (HEH). The optimal reaction condition was determined by screening, and the functional group tolerances of these two pathways were examined by readily synthetic substrates. The endo and exo selectivities of these cyclizations were elucidated by density functional theory calculations, and a plausible mechanism for these transformations was proposed.

Abstract
Fused polycyclic pyrazoles are an important class of heterocyclic compounds; thus, the development of efficient methods for their preparation becomes highly urgent. Herein, we reported an efficient method for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated fused tricyclic pyrazoles via intramolecular cyclization of cyclic ketone-derived amines. Mechanistic studies provide evidence for the in situ generation of trifluoromethylated β-diazo ketones as intermediates via diazotization with the use of tert-butyl nitrite. The synthetic utility of this method is highlighted by scale-up synthesis and the derivatization of the obtained fused tricyclic pyrazole products.
