Electro-reductive radical cyclisation of aryl halides affords the corresponding hetero- and carbo-cycles in an undivided flow reactor equipped with steel carbon electrodes using organic mediator. A dissolving metal anode is not needed, mediator can be employed a sub-stoichiometric amount (0.05 equiv), increasing practical utility cathodic cyclisation. The methodology applied to O-, N-, C-tethers, yielding tricyclic fused spiro systems. In absence mediator, major pathway hydrogenolysis C-X bond, 2 e

Highly encumbered 2,2',6-tri- and 2,2',6,6'-tetra-substituted biaryls are readily prepared from aryl ortho-iodobenzyl ethers through mediated cathodic reduction under flow. The reaction proceeds via the stepwise transfer of two electrons: first to induce loss iodide a radical cyclisation, second polar fragmentation.

A method for the construction of pyrrolizidine rings is described using a new radical cyclisation procedure, which involves generation an allylic from preformed vinylic followed by onto pendant double bond.
Abstract The transition-metal-free total syntheses of the oxygenated carbazole natural products glycoborine, carbazomycin A and B are reported. key step involves an NBS-mediated cyclobutanol ring expansion to 4-tetralones for preparation tricyclic core.
Remarkable increases of molecular complexity in a single procedural step are achieved with the title reaction. Only slight modification substitution pattern on acyclic precursor 2 can change mode tetracyclization to either yield skeletons type 1 or 3 exclusively.
While the prop-2-ynyl acetates (1) rearrange to allenyl (2) in boiling benzene containing copper(I) chloride, presence of silver trifluoroacetate butadienyl (3), useful Diels–Alder reactions, are formed high yield.
1-Phenylthiovinyl-lithium adds to n-hexanal give the allylic alcohol (II) that undergoes Carroll and Claisen rearrangement with formation of carbonyl compounds (IV) which can be converted into dihydrojasmone (VIa) 2-n-pentylcyclopent-2-enone (VIb) by hydrolysis cyclisation.

Key steps involve Pd(0)-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic rearrangement of dioxinone β,δ-diketo ester to dioxinone, which was readily aromatized into the corresponding resorcylate, cyclization via enantioselective protonation...

Trapping of the ketene generated from thermolysis 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione-keto-dioxinone at 50 °C with primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols gave corresponding dioxinone β-keto-esters in good yield under neutral conditions. These intermediates were converted by palladium(0)-catalyzed decarboxylative allyl migration and aromatization into β-resorcylates. transformations applied to syntheses natural products (±)-cannabiorcichromenic (±)-daurichromenic acid.
A facile and transition-metal-free ring expansion of the cyclobutanol moiety to 4-tetralones fused heteroaromatic systems is described.

Advances in the transition-metal-free cyclobutanol ring expansion to 4-tetralones under N-bromosuccinimide mediation are described. We have expanded scope of this methodology and investigated effect substituents on aromatic ring, moiety, outcome reaction. Limitations with certain moiety also Further experimental evidence support our mechanistic understanding is disclosed, we now preclude suggested involvement a primary radical for transformation.
