Abstract
Seven-membered carbocycles, which are frequently associated with relevant biological activities, can be found in nature and drugs in ever-increasing numbers. Radical cascade addition of 1,n-enynes-like substrates is one of the most important and efficient strategies for the synthesis of this valuable skeleton with structural diversity and complexity. Herein, we describe an electrooxidative radical-mediated synthesis of dibenzocycloheptanes from ortho-ethynyl-substituted biaryls and tertiary C(sp3)-H containing reactants. The chemo- and regioselective addition of in situ generated carbon radical onto the alkynyl moieties triggers a desired reaction cascade, resulting in the formation of three new C-C bonds. This approach provides a step-economical regime for the facile assembly of a wide range of polycyclic products containing a 6-7-5 system. This green strategy features a good substrate scope, mild conditions, and high efficiency under ferrocene-mediated electrochemical oxidation conditions.

Abstract
The mechanism of palladium-catalyzed annulation reactions of benzamide- and anilide-type aromatic systems with maleimides is investigated using density functional theory. Double C-H bond activation is key to forming the desired annulation product. The first C-H bond activation for anilide- and amide-type ligands can occur at the ortho and benzylic C-H bonds, while the second C-H activation occurs at the meta carbon of the aromatic rings. For the anilide-type system, ortho and benzylic C-H bond activations occur via four- and five-membered palladacycles, respectively. In contrast, for the benzamide-type system, ortho and benzylic C-H bond activations occur via five- and six-membered palladacycles, respectively. The energy span model suggests that the initial C-H bond activation step at the benzylic position determines the turnover frequency for both anilide- and benzamide-type systems. Energy decomposition analysis and distortion-interaction/activation-strain analyses are employed to understand the electronic and steric factors controlling the turnover frequency-determining transition state.

Abstract
We describe a Re2O7-mediated intramolecular dehydrative Friedel-Crafts reaction for the efficient synthesis of various benzo-fused heterocycles such as benzazepines and benzazocines. This process is characterized by a broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and high atom economy. The potential application of this methodology was exemplified by the facile preparation of a NMDA antagonist as well as a key intermediate en route to SKF 38393.

Abstract
Annulations of unsaturated systems through C-H activation represent a powerful tool for producing multicyclic scaffolds. Having coordinating centers in both annulation partners (a dual coordination strategy) would afford remarkable selectivities in the outcomes. Along this concept, we report herein a Pd-catalyzed regioselective rollover cascade dual C-H annulation of o-arylphenols with alkynols for constructing phenanthrene scaffolds. Control, KIE and deuteration studies were conducted to determine the reaction mechanism, and downstream transformations and scaled-up reactions were carried out to assess the robustness of the transformation.
