- Zinc-Enabled Annulation of Trifluorodiazoethane with 2 H-Azirines to Construct Trifluoromethyl Pyrazolines, Pyrazoles, and Pyridazines
-
A diethylzinc-promoted unconventional annulation reaction of 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane with 2H-azirines is described. This transformation involves two [3 + 2] cycloaddition steps and one dinitrogen extrusion process in one pot, thus giving a broad array

- Copper-Catalyzed Aza-Sonogashira Cross-Coupling To Form Ynimines: Development and Application to the Synthesis of Heterocycles
-
Nitrogen-substituted alkynes, such as ynamines and ynamides, are versatile synthetic building blocks. Ynimines bearing additional nucleophilic and electrophilic centers relative to ynamines and ynamides are expected to have high synthetic potential. However, their chemical reactivity remains unexplored owing mainly to the lack of synthetic accessibility. We report herein a versatile copper-catalyzed synthesis of ynimines from readily available O-acetyl ketoximes and terminal alkynes. A wide range of O-acetyl ketoximes derived from diaryl ketones, aryl alkyl ketones and dialkyl ketones underwent cross-coupling with a diverse set of terminal alkynes to afford the ynimines in good to excellent yields. An unprecedented [5+1] heteroannulation reaction exploiting the reactivity of the ynimine generated in situ was subsequently developed for the synthesis of medicinally important heterocycles, including isoquinolines, azaindoles, azabenzofurans, azabenzothiophenes and carbolines.

- Iron-Catalyzed, Iminyl Radical-Triggered Cascade 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer/(5+2) or (5+1) Annulation: Oxime as a Five-Atom Assembling Unit
-
By integration of iminyl radical-triggered 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer and (5+2) or (5+1) annulation processes, a series of structurally novel and interesting azepine and spiro-tetrahydropyridine derivatives have been successfully prepared in moderate to good yields. This method utilizes FeCl2 as the catalyst and readily available oximes as five-atom units, while showcasing broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility. The annulation products can be easily converted into many valuable compounds. Moreover, DFT calculation studies are performed to provide some insights into the possible reaction mechanisms for the (5+2) and (5+1) annulations.

- Iron-Catalysed Remote C(sp3)?H Azidation of O-Acyl Oximes and N-Acyloxy Imidates Enabled by 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer of Iminyl and Imidate Radicals: Synthesis of γ-Azido Ketones and β-Azido Alcohols
-
In the presence of a catalytic amount of iron(III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3], the reaction of structurally diverse ketoxime esters with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) afforded γ-azido ketones in good to excellent yields. This unprecedented distal γ-C(sp3)?H bond azidation reaction went through a sequence of reductive generation of an iminyl radical, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and iron-mediated redox azido transfer to the translocated carbon radical. TMSN3 served not only as a nitrogen source to functionalise the unactivated C(sp3)?H bond, but also as a reductant to generate the catalytically active FeII species in situ. Based on the same principle, a novel β-C(sp3)?H functionalisation of alcohols via N-acyloxy imidates was subsequently realised, leading, after hydrolysis of the resulting ester, to β-azido alcohols, which are important building blocks in organic and medicinal chemistry.
