Rh(III)-Catalyzed Spiroannulation Reaction of N-Aryl Nitrones with 2-Diazo-1,3-indandiones: Synthesis of Spirocyclic Indole-N-oxides and Their 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition with Maleimides

Shenghai Guo et al.

Summary: An efficient strategy for the preparation of spirocyclic indole-N-oxide compounds through a Rh(III)-catalyzed [4 + 1] spiroannulation reaction of N-aryl nitrones with 2-diazo-1,3-indandiones as C1 synthons under extremely mild conditions is presented. From this reaction, 40 spirocyclic indole-N-oxides were easily obtained in up to 98% yield. In addition, the title compounds could be successfully used for the construction of structurally intriguing maleimide-containing fused polycyclic scaffolds via a diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with maleimides.

C-H bond activation and sequential addition to two different coupling partners: a versatile approach to molecular complexity

Daniel S. Brandes et al.

Summary: Sequential multicomponent C-H bond addition is a powerful approach for the rapid generation of complex molecules. This approach involves adding C-H bonds across pi-bonds or pi-bond isosteres and coupling them with another type of functionality to form two sigma-bonds in a single reaction sequence. These atom-economical reactions transform ubiquitous C-H bonds into more complex structures with precise control over regiochemical and stereochemical properties. The development of these reactions has revealed surprising connectivities and diverse mechanisms. The vast number of possible coupling partners offers significant opportunities for the discovery of new sequential C-H bond addition reactions.
