Treatment of aryl 2-iodophenyl ketones with TMS2NH in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 at warming conditions, followed by the reaction with styrenes and NIS gave N-(1-aryl-2-iodoethyl) aryl 2-iodophenyl ketimines. Further treatment of N-(1-aryl-2-iodoethyl) aryl 2-iodophenyl ketimines with tBuOK in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline at 120 °C generated 1,3-diarylisoquinolines in moderate yields through SET from tBuOK onto the iodophenyl group to form aryl radicals, their 6-endo-trig cyclization onto the vinyl groups, and aromatization of the cyclized intermediates. The present method is a novel approach for the preparation of the isoquinoline core via two steps from aryl 2-iodophenyl ketones.

A highly enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydroboration of diaryl ketones with pinacolborane was developed using chiral imidazole iminopyridine as a ligand to access chiral benzhydrols in good to excellent yields and ee. This protocol could be carried out in a gram scale under mild reaction conditions with good functional group tolerance. Chiral biologically active 3-substituted phthalide and (S)-neobenodine could be easily constructed through asymmetric hydroboration as a key step.

A one-pot efficient synthetic approach for the rapid construction of spirocyclopenta[a]indene derivatives has been developed via an iodine-initiated cascade ring expansion and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization from propargyl alcohol-tethered alkylidenecyclobutanes under mild conditions with broad substrate scope. This cascade process can be elegantly conducted on a gram scale. A plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed on the basis of a series of deuterium labeling and control experiments.
