Abstract
We describe herein a gold-catalyzed three-component reaction of o-alkynylbenzaldehydes, aryldiazonium salts, and trimethoxybenzene. This process enables the one-pot formation of valuable isoindoles and 1,2-dihydrophathalazines. The regioselectivity of the reaction is dictated by the nature of the aryldiazonium salt. Noticeably, the reaction is performed at room temperature under mild conditions and tolerates a variety of functional groups on both the o-alkynylbenzaldehyde and the aryldiazonium salt. Experimental mechanistic studies suggest that it is catalyzed by arylAu(III) species.

Abstract
Covering: 2016 to mid 2023Transition metal catalysis, known for its remarkable capacity to expedite the assembly of molecular complexity from readily available starting materials in a single operation, occupies a central position in contemporary chemical synthesis. Within this landscape, gold-catalyzed reactions present a novel and versatile paradigm, offering robust frameworks for accessing diverse structural motifs. In this review, we highlighted a curated selection of publications in the past 8 years, focusing on the deployment of homogeneous gold catalysis in the ring-forming step for the total synthesis of natural products. These investigations are categorized based on the specific ring formations they engender, accentuating the prevailing gold-catalyzed methodologies applied to surmount intricate challenges in natural products synthesis.

Abstract
AbstractHere, we describe a general and modular strategy for the rapid assembly of benzo[c]phenanthridine (BCP) derivatives using homogeneous gold catalysis. Notably, in contrast to traditional methods based on the specially preformed substrates that have an inherent preference for the formation of this class of compounds with limited flexibility, this protocol is achieved via a selectively intramolecular cascade of a diazo-tethered alkyne and subsequently an intermolecular cyclization with a nitrile to facilitate the successive C-N and C-C bonds formation. This methodology uses readily available nitriles as the nitrogen source to deliver the products in good yield with excellent functional group compatibility. A preliminary anti-tumor activity study of these generated products exhibits high anticancer potency against five tumor cell lines, including HeLa, Mel624, SW-480, 8505C, LAN-1. Besides, we report a catalyst-controlled intermolecular cycloaddition/intramolecular insertion of the substrate with a fulvene to provide fused polycarbocycles containing a seven-membered ring.

Abstract
An intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition of activated aziridines and epoxides with electron-deficient alkene has been developed for the general and efficient construction of bridged aza- and oxa-[n.2.1] (n = 3 or 4) skeletons. This strategy can be efficiently promoted by lithium iodide. To demonstrate its potential, the intramolecular formal [3+2] cycloaddition was used to access the important intermediate of homoepiboxidine.

Abstract
![]()
A convenient
and mild protocol for the gold-catalyzed intermolecular
coupling of substituted indoles with carbonyl-functionalized alkynes
to give vinyl indoles is reported. This reaction affords 3-substituted
indoles in high yield, and in contrast to the analogous reactions
with simple alkynes which give bisindolemethanes,
only a single indole is added to the alkyne. The protocol is robust
and tolerates substitution at a range of positions of the indole and
the use of ester-, amide-, and ketone-substituted alkynes. The use
of 3-substituted indoles as substrates results in the introduction
of the vinyl substituent at the 2-position of the ring. A combined
experimental and computational mechanistic study has revealed that
the gold catalyst has a greater affinity to the indole than the alkyne,
despite the carbon–carbon bond formation step proceeding through
an η2(π)-alkyne complex, which helps to explain
the stark differences between the intra- and intermolecular variants
of the reaction. This study also demonstrated that the addition of
a second indole to the carbonyl-containing vinyl indole products is
both kinetically and thermodynamically less favored than in the case
of more simple alkynes, providing an explanation for the observed
selectivity. Finally, a highly unusual gold-promoted alkyne dimerization
reaction to form a substituted gold pyrylium salt has been identified
and studied in detail.

Abstract
Bromotrimethylsilane (TMSBr)-promoted intramolecular cyclization of (o-arylethynyl)benzyl ethers to form 1H-isochromenes at room temperature is reported. Further studies indicated that vinyl carbocations are the reaction intermediates which are stabilized by the conjugated aryl groups. Thus, O-addition of benzyl ethers/tetrahydropyrans to alkynes was achieved under metal-free, acidic conditions. These reaction conditions were compatible with an alkynyl Prins reaction; therefore, 1H-isochromenes were produced directly from alkynyl benzaldehydes and alkynyl alcohols using a one-pot procedure.

Abstract
Isobenzopyrylium ions are unique, highly reactive, aromatic intermediates which are largely unexplored in asymmetric catalysis despite their high potential synthetic utility. In this study, an organocatalytic asymmetric multicomponent cascade via dienamine catalysis, involving a cycloaddition, a nucleophilic addition, and a ring-opening reaction, is disclosed. The reaction furnishes chiral tetrahydronaphthols containing four contiguous stereocenters in good to high yield, high diastereoselectivity (up to >20:1), and excellent enantioselectivity (93-98% ee). The obtained products are important synthetic intermediates, and it is demonstrated that they can be used for the generation of frameworks such as octahydrobenzo[h]isoquinoline and [2.2.2]octane scaffolds. Furthermore, mechanistic experiments involving oxygen-18-labeling studies and density functional theory calculations provide a vivid picture of the reaction mechanism. Finally, the bioactivity of 16 representative tetrahydronaphthol compounds has been evaluated in U-2OS cancer cells with some compounds showing a unique profile and a clear morphological change.

Abstract
Hydrobromination and oxy-isomerization of (o-arylethynyl)benzyl alcohols to yield brominated aryl ketones were achieved with bromotrimethylsilane. The substrate scope suggested that vinyl carbocations, stabilized by the conjugated aryl groups, are the reaction intermediates. 1H-Isochromene was also detected by 1H NMR, and an isolated 1H-isochromene was converted to the product when retreated with TMSBr. The formation of 1H-isochromene is equivalent to a 6-endo-dig cyclization and contrasts with the corresponding reactions under basic conditions, in which the 5-exo-dig process dominated.

Abstract
A density functional theory study is presented here to offer mechanistic insights and explications of experimentally intriguing observations in the Au(I)-catalyzed cyclization of cyclic and acyclic acetals of alkynylaldehydes that leads to indenone formation. The reactivity of catalytic cycles with and without methoxy migration is clearly defined when the alkyne terminus is phenylated. The reaction mechanism of indenone formation proceeds first with the coordination of Au(I) to alkyne to initiate the reaction with 1,5-H shift as a rate-determining step (RDS), and the fastest 1,5-H shift is achieved when one phenyl ring carries an electron-donating group and the other one is substituted with an electron-withdrawing group. Following the 1,5-H shift, the reaction undergoes feasible steps that are cyclization and 1,2-H shift before elimination to persist the iterative cycle, but the reactivity of both steps is highly affected by the existence of the phenyl group on the alkyne terminus. The unreactivity of the alkyne terminus not bearing a phenyl ring is because the cyclization is thermodynamically disfavorable, subsequently deactivating the 1,2-H shift kinetically and thermodynamically. The absence of a tether in the acetal unit considerably outpaces any 1,5-H shift and instead activates 1,5-methoxy migration, giving methoxy-migrated indenone, with the 1,2-OMe shift being an RDS.
