2-Alkynylaniline borylative cyclisations provide a direct means to access indole 3-boronic esters from simple precursors. The Pd-catalysed cyclisation can be merged with cross-coupling processes in the same reaction vessel, moreover, the products can be exploited in C-N bond forming reactions.

A series of new 2,3,5-triaryl-substituted oxazolium and thiazolium salts are readily prepared by a Tf(2)O-mediated intramolecular cyclisation and their use as precursors for the synthesis of novel oxazol-4-ylidene and thiazol-4-ylidene rhodium complexes has been developed.

Efficient palladium-catalysed cascade cyclisation to form spiroindoles is developed. Treatment of indoles bearing a propargyl chloride side chain at the 3-position with various external nucleophiles in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3/dppb and Cs2CO3 in THF gives fused tetracyclic spiroindoles in moderate to good yields.

Chemoenzymatic reaction cascades can provide access to chiral compounds from low-cost starting materials in one pot. Here we describe one-pot asymmetric routes to tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (THIAs) using the Pictet–Spenglerase norcoclaurine synthase (NCS) followed by a cyclisation, to give alkaloids with two new heterocyclic rings. These reactions operated with a high atom economy to gene...

Nowadays, application of high speed crafts with large tonnage is of our country's essences. In order to gain high speed, new multi hull crafts are traditional. A hull form having been used recently in frigates is the Trimaran. Trimaran hull form and motion have been extensively studied due to the development of numerical and analytical methods as well as the exploitation of experimental setup. ...

An efficient methodology for the synthesis of a series of new fused polyclyclic indoles has been developed by Brønsted acid-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reactions of properly designed indolyl alcohols.

We describe asymmetric intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylations with a DNA-based hybrid catalyst and propose a plausible binding model. This study shows promise for studying relationships between the helical chirality of DNA and enantioselectivity of the chemical reaction.

Abstract Ynamides bearing a tethered allyl sulfoxide undergo gold-catalysed cycloisomerisation to afford tetrahydrothiophene-2-carboxamides and their benzo-fused analogues. The reactions are initiated by formal 7-endo-dig cyclisation accommodate range of different substituents. use N-allyl ynamides provided route into novel spirocyclic ε-lactam structures.
