Abstract
The regiodivergent synthesis of 4- and 5-sulfenyl oxazoles from 1,4,2-dioxazoles and alkynyl thioethers has been achieved. Gold-catalysed conditions are used to favour the formation of 5-sulfenyl oxazoles via β-selective attack of the nitrenoid relative to the sulfenyl group. In contrast, 4-sulfenyl oxazoles are formed by α-selective reaction under Brønsted acid conditions from the same substrates. The nature of stabilising gold-sulfur interactions have been investigated by natural bond orbital analysis, showing that the S→Au interactions are significantly stronger in the intermediate that favours the 5-sulfenyl oxazoles. A kinetic survey identifies catalyst inhibition processes. This study into the regiodivergent methods includes the development of telescoped annulation-oxidation protocols for regioselective access to oxazole sulfoxides and sulfones.

Intramolecular Cyclopropanation of Active Methylene Derivatives Based on FeCl 2 or FeCl 3-Promoted Radical-Polar Crossover Reactions. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202400602.

Abstract
Radical-polar crossover reactions were studied for the intramolecular cyclopropanation of active methylene derivatives. In the presence of FeCl3 as a stoichiometric oxidant and K2HPO4 as a base, the dehydrogenative cyclopropanation of active methylenes proceeded through the FeCl3-promoted oxidative radical cyclization followed by the ionic cyclization to give the bicyclic cyclopropanes. The use of α-chloro-active methylenes leads the subcatalytic cyclopropanation involving two redox pathways. In the presence of K2HPO4, the redox cyclopropanation proceeded by using FeCl2 (20 mol%) in combination with ligand (20 mol%).

Abstract
The combination of a nucleophilic nitrene equivalent, a triple bond and a π-acid catalyst has underpinned numerous efficient transformations for the preparation of azacycles. This personal account details our efforts in developing an annulation strategy. Adding a nucleophilic nitrenoid to an activated alkyne can generate carbenoid character that is then quenched by a cyclisation onto the nitrenoid substituent. The use and development of N-acyl and N-heterocyclic pyridinium-N-aminides as 1,3-N,O and 1,3-N,N-dipole equivalents is discussed in the context of oxazole and heterocycle-fused imidazole formation, respectively. The resulting processes are highly efficient, practically straightforward, and tolerate considerable structural and functional group variation. Our use of heteroatom-substituted alkynes as enabling tools for reaction discovery is discussed. The reactivity accessed from the strong donor-like properties of ynamides is complemented by that obtained from alkynyl thioethers, which are emerging as interesting substrates for π-acid catalysis.

Abstract
C3-selective C-C bond formation on benzothiophenes is challenging, and few direct functionalization methods are available. A gold-catalyzed reaction of alkynes with benzothiophene S-oxides provides regioselective entry into C3-alkylated benzothiophenes with the C7-alkylated isomer as the minor product. This oxyarylation reaction works with alkyl and aryl alkynes and substituted and unsubstituted benzothiophenes. Mechanistic studies identify that sulfoxide inhibits the catalyst [DTBPAu(PhCN)]SbF6, which also degrades and forms the unreactive complex [(DTBP)2Au]SbF6.

Abstract
Three- and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations, small rings are often difficult to assemble. In this regard, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool to construct these highly strained carbocycles. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of all the major advances and discoveries made in the gold-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes, and their corresponding heterocyclic or heterosubstituted analogs.

Abstract
Catalytic transformations involving metal carbenes are considered one of the most important aspects of homogeneous transition metal catalysis. Recently, gold-catalyzed generation of gold carbenes from readily available alkynes represents a significant advance in metal carbene chemistry. This Review summarizes the advances in the gold-catalyzed nitrene-transfer reactions of alkynes with nitrogen-transfer reagents, such as azides, nitrogen ylides, isoxazoles, and anthranils, and gold-catalyzed carbene-transfer reactions, involving oxygen atom-transfer reactions of alkynes with nitro compounds, nitrones, sulfoxides, and pyridine N-oxides, through the presumable α-imino gold carbene and α-oxo gold carbene intermediates, respectively. Gold-catalyzed processes are reviewed by highlighting their product diversity, selectivity, and applicability, and the mechanistic rationale is presented where possible.

Abstract
Alkynyl sulfoxides are important building blocks with a unique reactivity in organic chemistry, but only a few reliable methods have been reported to synthesize them. A novel route to access alkynyl sulfoxides is reported herein by using ethynyl benziodoxolone (EBX) reagents to trap sulfenate anions generated in situ, via a retro-Michael reaction. The reaction takes place under metal-free and mild conditions. It is compatible with aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl sulfoxides with up to 90% yield. This practical access to alkynyl sulfoxides is expected to facilitate the application of these useful building blocks in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Twelve 1,5-disubtituted and fourteen 5-substituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing diaryl or dialkyl phosphines at the 5-position were synthesized and used as ligands for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. Bulky substrates were tested, and lead-like product formation was demonstrated. The online tool SambVca2.0 was used to assess steric parameters of ligands and preliminary buried volume determination using XRD-obtained data in a small number of cases proved to be informative. Two modeling approaches were compared for the determination of the buried volume of ligands where XRD data was not available. An approach with imposed steric restrictions was found to be superior in leading to buried volume determinations that closely correlate with observed reaction conversions. The online tool LLAMA was used to determine lead-likeness of potential Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling products, from which 10 of the most lead-like were successfully synthesized. Thus, confirming these readily accessible triazole-containing phosphines as highly suitable ligands for reaction screening and optimization in drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
A novel Brønsted acid-catalyzed oxidative C-H functionalization of alkynyl thioethers has been developed. This method allows the practical synthesis of valuable isothiochroman-3-ones in mostly moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions and features a broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance. Moreover, this metal-free oxidation can also be used to promote formal N-H insertion involving an unexpected 1,2-sulfur migration, affording useful 1,4-benzothiazin-3-ones.

Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed N-oxide oxidation of N-sulfonyl ynamides is disclosed. This non-noble metal-catalyzed protocol enables facile and efficient access to valuable α-keto imides in generally good to excellent yields. Other notable features of this method include widespread availability of the substrates, compatibility with broad functional groups, a simple procedure, mild conditions, and in particular, no need to exclude moisture or air ("open flask").

Abstract
Cyclopropanes provide important design elements in medicinal chemistry and are widely present in drug compounds. Here we describe a strategy and extensive synthetic studies for the preparation of a diverse collection of cyclopropane-containing lead-like compounds, fragments and building blocks exploiting a single precursor. The bifunctional cyclopropane (E/Z)-ethyl 2-(phenylsulfanyl)-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate was designed to allow derivatization through the ester and sulfide functionalities to topologically varied compounds designed to fit in desirable chemical space for drug discovery. A cobalt-catalyzed cyclopropanation of phenyl vinyl sulfide affords these scaffolds on multigram scale. Divergent, orthogonal derivatization is achieved through hydrolysis, reduction, amidation and oxidation reactions as well as sulfoxide-magnesium exchange/functionalization. The cyclopropyl Grignard reagent formed from sulfoxide exchange is stable at 0 °C for > 2 h, which enables trapping with various electrophiles and Pd-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling reactions. The library prepared, as well as a further virtual elaboration, is analyzed against parameters of lipophilicity (ALog P), MW and molecular shape by using the LLAMA (Lead-Likeness and Molecular Analysis) software, to illustrate the success in generating lead-like compounds and fragments.
