An aerobic copper-catalyzed cascade oxidative isomerization/[4+4] cyclization of 2,2′-disubstituted stilbenes is described. Under the mild CuCl/DBED/air catalytic system, various 5,10-heteroatom-containing tetrahydroindeno[2,1-a]indenes were efficiently p

A novel catalyst-free nitrene transfer reaction between stilbenes and iminoiodinanes was achieved for the first time, which provides an efficient and environmentally friendly way to access variously substituted 2,2-diaryl enamides under mild conditions. Mechanistic investigations suggested the reaction proceed via nitrene transfer and aromatic rearrangement with iminoiodinane also acting as a Lewis acid, benefitting the ring-opening of the aziridine intermediate.

A chromium/2,2′-bipyridine-catalyzed annulation reaction of 2-biarylmagnesium reagents with alkynes is reported. The reaction is applicable to a variety of aryl- and/or alkyl-substituted internal alkynes as well as 2-biaryl and related Grignard reagents, thus affording phenanthrene derivatives in moderate to good yields. The reaction proceeds at the expense of excess alkyne as a hydrogen acceptor and thus does not need an external oxidant. Deuterium-labeling experiments shed light on the reaction mechanism, which likely involves multiple intramolecular C-H activation processes on chromium.
