Azepanones are important and widespread seven-membered heterocycles, but their synthesis is challenging. A convergent method to access these scaffolds was developed relying on a (4+3) annulation reaction of azadienes and donor-acceptor cyclopropanes. Good to excellent yields and high diastereoselectivity were achieved using Yb(OTf)3 as the catalyst. Asymmetric induction was possible with Cu(OTf)2 in

[GRAPHICS]A general approach to N-arylation and N-alkenylation of all five DNA/RNA nucleobases at the nitrogen atom normally attached to the sugar moiety in DNA or RNA has been developed. Various protected or masked nucleobases engaged readily in the copper-mediated Chan-Lam-Evans-modified Ullmann condensation with a range of different boronic acids at room temperature and were subsequently converted to the corresponding deprotected or unmasked adducts. Different N-3-protecting groups were examined in the case of thymine, where the benzoyl group afforded the highest yields. A 4-alkylthio-substituted pyrimidin-2(1H)-one served as both a cytosine and a uracil precursor and was N-arylated and N-alkenylated in high yields. Adenine was efficiently and selectively N-arylated and N-alkenylated at the N-9 position by employing a bis-Boc-protected adenine derivative, while a bis-Boc-protected 2-amino-6-chloropurine served as guanine precursor and could also be selectively N-9-arylated and N-9-alkenylated.
