Abstract
Presented herein is the synthesis of diversely functionalized pyrrolizines from the reaction of N-alkoxycarbamoyl pyrroles with CF3-ynones. The formation of the product is based on a C-H bond activation-initiated cascade process including N-alkoxycarbamoyl group-directed alkenylation of the pyrrole scaffold followed by simultaneous intramolecular nucleophilic addition along with cleavage and transfer of the directing group. By taking advantage of the rich chemistry of the transferred alkoxycarbamoyl moiety, the products could be transformed into a series of structurally and biologically interesting pyrrolizine derivatives. To our knowledge, this is the first example in which the N-alkoxycarbamoyl unit acted as a transferable and transformable directing group for the divergent synthesis of pyrrolizines.

Abstract
Presented herein is a novel synthesis of CF3-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole derivatives based on the cascade reactions of N-alkoxycarbamoyl indoles with CF3-ynones. Mechanistically, the formation of a product involves a tandem process initiated by Rh(III)-catalyzed and N-alkoxycarbamoyl group-directed regioselective C2-H alkenylation of the indole scaffold followed by in situ removal of the directing group and intramolecular N-nucleophilic addition/annulation under one set of reaction conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first example in which a N-alkoxycarbamoyl unit initially acts as a directing group for C2-H functionalization of the indole scaffold and is then removed to provide the required reactive NH-moiety for subsequent intramolecular condensation. Moreover, the products thus obtained could be conveniently transformed into structurally and biologically attractive cycloheptenone fused indole derivatives through an acid-promoted cascade transformation. In addition, studies on the activity of selected products against human cancer cell lines demonstrated their potential as lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Polycyclic fused indoles are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals due to their immense structural diversity and biological inference, making them suitable for charting broader chemical space. Indole-based polycycles continue to be fascinating as well as challenging targets for synthetic fabrication because of their characteristic structural frameworks possessing biologically intriguing compounds of both natural and synthetic origin. As a result, an assortment of new chemical processes and catalytic routes has been established to provide unified access to these skeletons in a very efficient and selective manner. Transition-metal-catalyzed processes, in particular from rhodium(III), are widely used in synthetic endeavors to increase molecular complexity efficiently. In recent years, this has resulted in significant progress in reaching molecular scaffolds with enormous biological activity based on core indole skeletons. Additionally, Rh(III)-catalyzed direct C-H functionalization and benzannulation protocols of indole moieties were one of the most alluring synthetic techniques to generate indole-fused polycyclic molecules efficiently. This review sheds light on recent developments toward synthesizing fused indoles by cascade annulation methods using Rh(III)-[RhCp*Cl2]2-catalyzed pathways, which align with the comprehensive and sophisticated developments in the field of Rh(III)-catalyzed indole functionalization. Here, we looked at a few intriguing cascade-based synthetic designs catalyzed by Rh(III) that produced elaborate frameworks inspired by indole bioactivity. The review also strongly emphasizes mechanistic insights for reaching 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4-fused indole systems, focusing on Rh(III)-catalyzed routes. With an emphasis on synthetic efficiency and product diversity, synthetic methods of chosen polycyclic carbocycles and heterocycles with at least three fused, bridged, or spiro cages are reviewed. The newly created synthesis concepts or toolkits for accessing diazepine, indol-ones, carbazoles, and benzo-indoles, as well as illustrative privileged synthetic techniques, are included in the featured collection.

Abstract
Indoles and their derivatives have dominated a significant proportion of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and play an essential role in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, pesticides, and advanced materials. Compared with conventional synthetic strategies, direct functionalization of indoles provides straightforward access to construct diverse indole scaffolds. As we enter an era emphasizing green and sustainable chemistry, utilizing environment-friendly solvents represented by water demonstrates great potential in synthesizing valuable indole derivatives. This review aims to depict the critical aspects of aqueous-mediated indoles functionalization over the past decade and discusses the future challenges and prospects in this fast-growing field. For the convenience of readers, this review is classified into three parts according to the bonding modes (C-C, C-N, and C-S bonds), which focus on the diversity of indole derivatives, the prominent role of water in the chemical process, and the types of catalyst systems and mechanisms. We hope this review can promote the sustainable development of the direct functionalization of indoles and their derivatives and the discovery of novel and practical organic methods in aqueous phase.

Abstract
An efficient RhIII-catalyzed strategy for constructing aryl-heteroaryl derivatives with removable ketoxime ether auxiliaries via direct C-H heteroarylation based on arenes and heteroaromatic boronates has been disclosed. This protocol could tolerate various pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazole, thiophene, and furan heteroaromatic boronates well, providing the desired products with high reactivities and excellent regioselectivity. The easy synthetic accessibility may offer potential for application in the synthesis of heterocyclic drug molecules containing aryl-heteroaryl motifs.
