Silver-Promoted Oxidative Cyclization of 1,6-Enynes: Highly Regioselective Synthesis of Phosphorated Fluorene Derivatives

A silver-promoted oxidative cyclization of 1,6-enynes with disubstituted phosphine oxides is developed for the synthesis of fluorene derivatives. The reaction proceeds with high regioselectivity by constructing one C–P bond and two C–C bonds in one step. Moreover, reduction of the pentavalent phosphine enlarges the application scope of the product

Facile Synthesis of Disubstituted Isoxazoles from Homopropargylic Alcohol via CN Bond Formation

A novel iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidative reaction to synthesize disubstituted isoxazoles from homopropargylic alcohol, <i>t</i>-BuONO, and H₂O is developed. The method provides mild conditions to afford a variety of useful substituted heterocycles in an efficient and regioselective manner. The mechanism has been studied and proposed, which indicates that the transformation can be realized through construction of a CN bond and CO bond, C–H oxidation, and then cyclization. Moreover, this method can be enlarged to gram scale
