Gold-catalyzed carbocyclization and imidization of alkyne-tethered diazo compounds with nitrosoarenes for the synthesis of nitrones and naphthalene derivatives. Mol Divers 2023; 27:1971-1978.

Abstract
A gold-catalyzed carbocyclization/imidization cascade reaction has been developed,leading a facile access to the synthesis of functionalized nitrones in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. The reaction initiated by a catalytic 6-endo-dig diazo-yne carbocyclization to form the key endocyclic vinyl carbene from alkyne-tethered diazo compounds, followed by addition with nitrosoarenes that features an imidization process. Notably, these resulting nitrone products could be smoothly converted into different substituted naphthalenol analogues, such as 4-aminonaphthalen-1-ol, naphthalene-1,4-dione, and naphthalene-1,4-diol derivatives, in high yields. Moreover, the generated products exhibited potential tumor suppression activity in tested cancer celllines; compound 3c (HCT116 cells, IC50 = 7.41 μM; MCF-7 cells, IC50 = 14.28 μM) exhibits higher anticancer potency than other tested compounds.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric dearomative [3+2] cycloaddition of α-imino γ-lactones with either 3-nitroindoles or 2-nitrobenzofurans by using a chiral copper complex as the catalyst was developed. A wide range of structurally diverse polyheterocyclic compounds containing spirocyclic-fused butyrolactone-pyrrolidine-indoline and butyrolactone-pyrrolidine-dihydrobenzofuran skeletons could be smoothly obtained with excellent results (>99:1 dr and 98% ee). The potential synthetic applications of this methodology were also demonstrated by the scale-up experiment and by the diverse transformations of one product. This method is characterized by high asymmetric induction, wide functional group tolerance and scalability, and attractive product diversification.

Abstract
A visible light-induced Co-catalyzed highly regio- and stereoselective reductive coupling of vinyl azaarenes and alkynes has been developed. Notably, Hünig's base together with simple ethanol has been successfully applied as the hydrogen sources instead of commonly used Hantzsch esters in this catalytic photoredox reaction. This approach has considerable advantages for the straightforward synthesis of stereodefined multiple substituted alkenes bearing an azaarene motif, such as excellent regioselectivity (>20 : 1 for >30 examples) and stereoselectivity (>20 : 1 E/Z), broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility under mild reaction conditions, which has been utilized in the concise synthesis of natural product monomorine I. A reasonable catalytic reaction pathway involving protolysis of the cobaltacyclopentene intermediate has been proposed based on the mechanistic studies.
