Herein, we report substituent-controlled divergent cascade cycloaddition reactions of chalcones and arylalkynols in the presence of PtI2. Depending on the substituent on the chalcone, either spiroketals or oxa-bridged fused heterocycles could be obtained in the ranges of 86–97% and 87–95% yields under identical reaction conditions. Control experiments were carried out to elucidate the origin of the high chemoselectivity. These provide a method for the synthesis of a diverse array of structurally complex oxygen-containing heterocycles. (Figure presented.).

Prochiral racemic allylic alcohols are converted to enantioenriched chiral alcohols bearing adjacent stereocenters catalyzed by a diamine diphosphine Ru complex in the presence of tBuOK. The protocol features a broad substrate scope (56 examples) and high

Highly selective tandem nucleophilic addition/cross-coupling reactions of alkynes have been developed using visible-light-promoted dual gold/photoredox catalysis. The simultaneous oxidation of AuI and coordination of the coupling partner by photo-generated aryl radicals, and the use of catalytically inactive gold precatalysts allows for high levels of selectivity for the cross-coupled products without competing hydrofunctionalization or homocoupling. As demonstrated in representative arylative Meyer-Schuster and hydration reactions, this work expands the scope of dual gold/photoredox catalysis to the largest class of substrates for gold catalysts and benefits from the mild and environmentally attractive nature of visible-light activation. United we stand! Tandem nucleophilic addition/cross-coupling reactions have been developed with challenging alkynes using a visible-light-promoted dual gold/photoredox catalytic system (see scheme). High levels of selectivity for the cross-coupled products were obtained without competition from the homocoupling or conventional hydrofunctionalization.
