Electrosynthesis of CF3-Substituted Polycyclic Quinazolinones via Cascade Trifluoromethylation/Cyclization of Unactivated Alkene

Lei Liu et al.

Summary: An atom and step economy cascade trifluoromethylation/cyclization of unactivated alkene with Langlois reagent as a CF3 source is successfully demonstrated.

The synthesis of seven- and eight-membered rings by radical strategies

Xuan-Chi Yu et al.

Summary: Seven- and eight-membered rings are commonly found in natural products and drugs. Their synthesis is challenging due to transition state nonbonding interactions, torsional strains, flexible conformations, and complex multi-ring skeletons. The radical strategy, using metal-induced, oxidant-initiated, electrochemically promoted, or photoinduced systems, offers a powerful tool to overcome the limitations of poor selectivity and harsh reaction conditions. This review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of seven- and eight-membered rings and provides insights into exploring new reaction models in radical chemistry.
