The convergent and linear domino reactions have been first integrated, for the first time, to provide an efficient synthesis of indole–furan conjugates from indoles, methyl ketones, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.
A copper-catalyzed domino synthesis of 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-ones has been developed from 1,4-enediones and 2-aminoheterocycles with air as the oxidant.
