Nickel(II) can be used to catalyze the hetero [2+2+1] cycloaddition of 2‐alkynylaryl isothiocyanates and isonitriles in 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran (2‐MeTHF) to give a wide array of thieno[2,3‐b]indoles in excellent yields. The reaction is featured by employing as little as 0.3 mol% nickel(II) acetylacetonate [Ni(acac)2] under air conditions in the absence of any additives (additional reducing agents and
Cu(<scp>i</scp>) catalysis for selective condensation/bicycloaromatization of two different arylalkynes: direct and general construction of functionalized C–N axial biaryl compounds
enantioselectivity verifies its potential for the simplest asymmetric synthesis of atropoisomeric biaryls. Western blotting demonstrated that the newly developed compounds are promising targets in biology and pharmaceuticals. This unique reaction can construct structurally diverse C–N axial biarylcompounds that have never been reported by other methods, and might be extended to various applications in materials
<i>p</i>-Toluenesulfonic Acid Promoted Annulation of 2-Alkynylanilines with Activated Ketones: Efficient Synthesis of 4-Alkyl-2,3-Disubstituted Quinolines
Reactions between readily available 2-alkynylanilines and activatedketones such as β-keto esters promoted by p-toluenesulfonicacid afford 4-alkyl-2,3-disubstitutedquinolines in good to excellent yields. The generality of substituents at the other end of the triple bond of 2-alkynylanilines makes the method a valuable approach to diversified 4-alkylquin-olines, which are difficult to obtain by classical
