The catalytic formation of gold enolatesfrom alkynes, nitrones, and nucleophiles is described, and their Mannich reactions result in nucleophile‐directed chemoselectivity through cooperative catalysis. For 1‐alkyn‐4‐ols and 2‐ethynylphenols, their gold‐catalyzed nitrone oxidations afforded N‐containing dihydrofuran‐3(2H)‐ones with syn selectivity. The mechanism involves the Mannich reactions of gold

The first regioselective catalytic asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of benzofuranone-derived olefins with allenoates and substituted allenoates has been developed in the presence of (R)-SITCP.
A new synthesis of isoaurones related to the alleged structure of isoaurostatin, via Heck intramolecular cyclization of cinnamic esters of 2-iodophenols, is reported. The cytotoxic activity of these isoaurones is lower than that of the structurally very similar 4-arylcoumarins.
A (IAS-A) isolated from Thermomonospora alba showed weak inhibition against topoisomerase (topo) I (IC(50)=307microM). To get more strong inhibition, derivatives of IAS-A were prepared and their structure-activityrelationships against topo I and II were investigated. The addition of hydroxyl group on aromatic rings increased the activities, 3-(3,4,5-trihydroxybenzylidene)-5-hydroxy-3H-benzofuran-2-one
A Highly Efficient Chirality Switchable Synthesis of Dihydropyran-Fused Benzofurans by Fine-Tuning the Phenolic Proton of β-Isocupreidine (β-ICD) Catalyst with Methyl
A highlyenantioselective β‐isocupreidine (β‐ICD) catalyzed synthesis of dihydropyran‐fused benzofurans through [4+2] cycloaddition of allenoates and benzofuranone alkenes was developed. Switchable chirality inversion of cycloaddition products was achieved by replacing the phenolic proton of the catalyst with a methyl, demonstrating an amazing effect of minimal structural variation on inverting enantioselectivity
