A simple procedure for polymer-supported N-heterocyclic carbene silver complex via click chemistry: an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of propargylamines

A series of polymer-supported N-heterocyclic carbene silver complexes were prepared using a simple procedure via click chemistry. These complexes were tested as catalysts in the synthesis of propargylamines by the one-pot three-component coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines and alkynes (A(3)-coupling). The reaction was preceded smoothly to afford the corresponding products in good to excellent yields at room temperature under low catalyst loading of 0.1 mol%. Furthermore, the catalysts were stable and recoverable for six runs without a significant loss in their activity.

Synthesis of highly functionalized macrocycles by tandem multicomponent reactions and intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling

An efficient chemoselective process for the synthesis of 14- and 15-membered triazole-containing macrocycle compounds has been developed through the combination of two multicomponent reactions and an intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction.

Selective formation of C–N and CN bonds via C(sp3)–H activation of isochroman in the presence of DTBP

An approach for the synthesis of isochroman derivatives via direct C(sp3)–H bond and N–H bond coupling is described. The C–N (amine or amide) and CN (imidate) products can be selectively achieved by controlling the amount of oxidants. Moreover, this metal- and base-free protocol is simple, easy-to-handle, and atom-economical which may have potential application in drug synthesis.

Synthesis of novel isoquinolinone and 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline scaffolds via Ugi reaction and ring opening reaction of furans

Combining the Ugi reaction with ring opening reaction of furans for the synthesis of novel isoquinolinone and 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline scaffolds has been developed. The isoquinolinone and 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives with unsaturated carbonyl moiety may open up many opportunities for further functionalizations.
