A calcium triflate promoted reaction of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) ketones, derived by the oxidation of MBH adducts, with 2-aminobenzothiazoles resulted in the formation of a 4H-pyrimido[2,1-b]benzothiazole. Formally, the transformation represents a [3+3] annulation and presumably proceeds via an aza-Michael addition followed by an intramolecular condensation. The reaction is completely regioselective and tolerates a wide range of substrates to afford a variety of analogs of the fused heterocycle in good yields.

1,3-Difluorinated compounds are characterized by their unique conformation, influenced by 1,3-dipolar minimization effects. However, their synthetic methods are relatively limited. Here, we describe a ring-opening 1,3-difluorination of benzylidenecyclopropanes (BCPs) using HF·Py, mediated by an electron-poor hypervalent iodine reagent, which is generated in-situ by the oxidation of o-nitroiodobenzene with mCPBA. The protocol features mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance, and moderate to good yields. Additionally, the synthetic utility of this method is showcased by further transformations of the olefin group and allylic fluoride motif.

An efficient one-pot, two-step synthesis of structurally diverse 4-indolyl/pyrrolyl-chromanes was developed starting from O-propargylated salicylaldehydes, 2,6-dialkylphenols and indoles/pyrrole. This process begins with a sequential secondary amine-catalyzed formation of p-quinone methides followed by Brønsted acid-catalyzed 1,8-addition with indoles/pyrrole to access the functionalized chromanes in high yields (up to 91%). This sequential reaction generates three new C–C bonds, shows high step- and atom-economy with only one molecule of water as the side product and gives access to complex molecular frameworks without the need for the isolation of the intermediates.

Spirocyclic β-lactams are a family of natural and synthetic chemicals with different biological activity, including antibacterial properties and interaction with critical physiological targets such as T-type calcium channels and acetyl-CoA cholesterol acyltransferase. Their unique chemical structure, combining spiro ring system with β-lactam group, offers promising opportunities for targeted medication discovery in medicinal chemistry. Spirocyclic β-lactams have the potential to be adaptable frameworks for developing novel therapeutic medicines with particular three-dimensional pharmacophoric characteristics and increased biological efficacy. Numerous methods are employed in the synthesis of spirocyclic β-lactams, such as cyclization, functional group modifications, asymmetric synthesis utilizing chiral catalysts and biomimetic approaches. In this Short Review, two distinct approaches to recent synthesis of spirocyclic β-lactams are discussed: one is based on constructing the β-lactam ring, while the other entails transforming monocyclic β-lactams into spirocyclic structures (from 2021 to till date). These methods include detailed reaction processes and biological function descriptions of target spirocycles. The applications of spirocyclic β-lactams in medicinal chemistry highlight their role in synthesis of structurally diverse compounds with significant therapeutic potential, demonstrating creative chemical methods of building complex molecular structures. 1 Introduction 2 β-Lactam Ring Synthesis 3 Non-β-Lactam Ring Synthesis 4 Miscellaneous Examples 5 Conclusion and Outlook 6 References

A mild procedure for the diastereoselective preparation of functionalized 1,3-dienes and their synthetic versatility are described herein. The silver-catalyzed decomposition of α-diazo-γ,δ-unsaturated esters through β-hydride migration at room temperature resulted in the stereoselective formation of 12 conjugated (1E,3E)-dienes. Further synthetic post-modifications included intramolecular Heck reaction and hydrogenation, leading to a novel substituted indene and an aliphatic diester, respectively. To rationalize the observed reaction outcome, a computational investigation of the mechanisms was conducted, emphasizing the importance of factors such as metallocarbenoid stability, substituent effects, and microkinetics simulations to better understand the reaction intricacies.

Chiral 3-monosubstituted oxindoles are privileged structural motifs in a variety of natural products and synthetic pharmaceuticals. However, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of these structural motifs has remained a challenge mainly because of the ease of racemization of the tertiary stereocenter through enolization. In this short review, asymmetric synthetic methods for chiral 3-monosubstituted oxindoles are summarized from the perspective of four different strategies, including Michael addition, carbenoid-mediated C‒H insertion, decarboxylative protonation, and indole oxidation.

We report an efficient synthesis of 6-substituted imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles through intramolecular cyclization of in situ generated thiazolium ylide from 2-aminothiazole and acetophenone. This one-pot cascade process efficiently forms two C-N bonds and is facilitated by Cu(OTf)2 and KI, both of which play key roles in the mechanism. The method utilizes commercially available starting materials and features mild reaction conditions, tolerance to different functional groups, and ease of operation. The synthetic applicability has further been demonstrated through post-modification of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole analogues.

An efficient methodology for the synthesis of highly diverse 4-aminoquinoline derivatives from activated alkynes and 2-aminobenzonitriles mediated by Lewis acid is described. The reaction proceeds via sequential aza-Michael addition/intramolecular annulation to afford highly substituted 4-aminoquinolines in good yields. The reaction is operationally simple and has high atom-economy with broad substrate scope. The post synthetic application of the reaction provides 4H-benzo[de][1,6]naphthyridines.
