摘要：
An efficient base-promoted tandem cyclization for the synthesis of polyfunctional 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofurans from arylglyoxal monohydrates and 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile has been established. The investigation of the mechanism suggested that this reaction proceeds through a Knoevenagel condensation–Michael addition–oxidation–cyclization sequence. This method demonstrates the compatibility with a wide range of functional groups to produce the 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrofuran scaffolds in good to excellent yields in one pot.

摘要：
A facile and efficient [3 + 2 + 1] annulation of aryl methyl ketoxime acetates and triethylamine for the synthesis of 2-methylpyridines was disclosed. This reaction demonstrated that I-2 was effective in triggering N-O bond cleavage of oxime acetates generating imine radicals. It was noteworthy that this transformation employed triethylamine as the carbon source for the direct formation of pyridines and introduction of methyl groups.

摘要：
An efficient and practical de novo synthesis of pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde skeletons featuring oxidative annulation and Csp3–H to C═O oxidation is presented, exemplified by the preparation of pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde derivatives from aryl methyl ketones, arylamines, and acetoacetate esters. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the aldehyde oxygen atom originates from oxygen. Moreover, the developed scalable approach provides a distinct advantage over traditional oxidative functionalization of C–H moieties, avoiding the use of stoichiometric quantities of hazardous oxidants.

摘要：
A copper-catalyzed cascade reaction using isatins and amidine hydrochlorides for the synthesis of 2-(1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aniline derivatives has been developed. This reaction features commercially available starting materials, mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance.
摘要：
An iodine-promoted fragment assembly strategy for the synthesis of fused heterocycles has been established. It provides an efficient route to construct pyrazolone-oxepine-pyrazoles from phenyl-hydrazines, aryl methyl ketones and acetoacetate esters. Notably, acetoacetate esters play two distinct pivotal roles in the five-component reaction by realizing the unique reactivities of methyl, methylene and carbonyl groups to construct 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone skeletons and by the reaction of methyl and carbonyl groups to form a C (sp3)-O bond.

摘要：
An efficient transition-metal-free oxidative cyclization reaction using isatins and alkynes for the facile synthesis of structurally diverse 4-quinolones has been developed. Intriguingly, switchable access to substituted 3-carboxylate-4-quinolones and 1-vinyl-3-carboxylate-4-quinolones could be achieved by choosing a different base in the reaction. The obtained products could undergo further transformations, increasing the application potential of the method in organic synthesis.

摘要：
An expeditious one-step synthesis of the imidazopyridoindole scaffold was achieved through the C-H oxidation/two-fold cyclization reaction of methyl ketone and tryptamine derivatives. Mild oxidizing conditions were employed to realize the efficient oxidation of C(sp(3))-H bonds, while suppressing overoxidation of the intermediate and ensuring the cross-trapping of two in situ generated acylimine intermediates.

摘要：
A novel one-pot reaction has been developed for the efficient synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines and 1-dearyllamellarin core from (E)-(2-nitrovinyl)benzenes and azomethine ylides generated in situ. This strategy provides a concise total synthesis of the lamellarin core and lamellarin G trimethyl ether using electrophilic substitution and palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

摘要：
The iodine-catalyzed catalytic formal [3 + 3 + 1] cycloaddition for the preparation of a seven-membered O-heterocyclic ring is presented, which is an achievement of methyl and carbonyl group reactivity of 3-methyl-5-pyrazolones to forge the Csp3–O bond. This novel protocol provides a straightforward and efficient access to structurally diverse fused O-heterocycles through an iodine-catalyzed iodination/Kornblum oxidation/oxidative coupling/C–O bond formation cascade reaction. This approach demonstrates the unprecedented concurrent realization of the unique reactivity among the methyl, methylene, and carbonyl groups in 3-methyl-5-pyrazolones for the construction of 2,3-dihydrooxepine rings. Moreover, a broad substrate scope displays a graceful diversity-oriented synthetic approach.

摘要：
An acid-promoted multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of diverse fully substituted oxazole derivatives from simple and readily available arylglyoxal monohydrates, nitriles, and various C-nucleophiles has been developed. This protocol features wide functional group diversity which is capable of installing 4-hydroxycoumarin, 2-naphthol, and 1,3-cyclohexanedione motifs to oxazoles. Mechanistic analysis indicates that a classical Robinson–Gabriel reaction served as the key step for this tandem transformation.

摘要：
An I2-promoted domino bicyclization approach via multiple sequential C–H functionalization was serendipitously discovered for the synthesis of 1,2-fused oxindoles from methyl ketones and anilines. This approach was optimized, resulting in a concise and atom-economical approach for the one-pot construction of 1,2-fused oxindoles from methyl ketones and anilines rather than using preexisting indolin-3-ones or indoles. Mechanistic studies revealed that the key step involved an oxidative cross-coupling between in situ generated phenylglyoxal and α,α-diaminoketone.

摘要：
A practicable quinoline synthesis from aniline and two amino acids was developed for generating a wide range of quinolines with high efficiency and diversity. Thus, it facilitated the creations of pharmaceutical derivatives, photochemical active compounds, and challenging scaffolds. The concept of using two amino acids as heterocyclic precursors has been raised for the first time. Mechanistic studies revealed that I2 enabled decarboxylation, oxidative deamination, and selective reconstruction of new C–N and C–C bonds processes.
