This paper describes the synthesis of dithioindoles from the free-radical cyclizations of arylisonitriles having pendant alkynes. Also described is the synthesis of substituted indoles and spiro-fused indoles from the coupling of dithioindoles with active hydrogen-containing compounds.
the corresponding bis-thiolated indolederivatives. The advantages of the reaction include metal-free, room-temperature, mild reaction conditions and broad functional group compatibility. The reaction proceeds via nucleophilic addition of an alkanethiol to an isonitrile moiety, 5-exo cyclization, followed by nucleophilic addition of an alkanethiol to a 3-alkylidene indole intermediate.

An efficient synthesis of tetrazolo[1,5‐a]quinolines employing the reaction of o‐alkynylisocyanobenzenes with sodium azide is described. The reaction proceeds through the nucleophilic addition of the azide to the isocyanide and a subsequent by 6‐endo cyclization.

Synthesis of 3-substituted quinolin-2(1<i>H</i>)-ones<i>via</i>the cyclization of<i>o</i>-alkynylisocyanobenzenes
A facile synthesis of various functionalized 3-substituted quinolin-2(1H)-ones through Ag(I) nitrate-catalyzed cyclization of o-alkynylisocyanobenzenes is described. The reaction allows rapid and convenient access to 3-substituted quinolin-2(1H)-one scaffolds in moderate to good yields.
When o-alkynylaryl isocyanides 1 are treated with triethylamine in chloroform, intramolecular chlorinating cyclization of the isocyanides takes place, affording the corresponding 2-chlorinated quinoline derivatives 2 in good to excellent yields, selectively. Bromoform can be also used for the brominating cyclization of 1. Furthermore, fluorinating and iodinating cyclization of o-alkynylaryl isocyanides has been attained by the selection of fluoride and iodide (ion) sources.
Diversified 2-alkoxy- and 2-aroxy-3-substituted quinolines were synthesized from o-alkynylaryl isocyanides and alcohols and phenols promoted by DABCO, respectively. The reaction was initiated by nucleophilic addition of DABCO to isocyanide and subsequent cycliztion, leading to a DABCO-quinoline-based adduct as the reactive intermediate, followed by substitution of the DABCO moiety with oxygenated nucleophiles.
