Herein, we present the synthesis of N,N'‐bisindoles via gold‐catalyzed formal (4+1) cycloaddition of alkynylcyclohexadienones with N‐aminoindoles, which involves a domino aza‐Meyer‐Schuster rearrangement/aza‐Michael addition sequence. This reaction allows for the formation of two C‐N bonds and the direct construction of indole ring, leading to the synthesis of a range of N,N'‐bisindoles in moderate to high yields with broad functional group tolerance.

The conventional fossil‐based feedstocks are both depleting and can be damaging to the environment. This led to a surge to replace petroleum‐based chemicals to more renewable, bio‐based platform chemicals. Terpenes and terpenoids are a group of bio‐based compounds that are well known. However, there comprehensive overviews of the chemistry that these compounds have been used for are scarce. Herein, we provide a full comprehensive overview of the reported chemistry with terpenes while specifically highlighting their reactivity. Fifteen of the most common and useful monoterpenes and terpenoids are discussed, followed by a list of the remaining known compounds belonging to this group. The fifteen compounds have been employed in a vast number of chemical transformations with different applications including: polymerizations, total syntheses, chiral reagents/auxiliaries, pharmaceuticals, and chemical conversion to other useful bio‐based chemicals. We believe that the presented chemistry in this work will provide chemists with a useful tool that should facilitate and stimulate the search for more sustainable, renewable and environmentally friendly starting points for novel synthesis routes.","PeriodicalId":167,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although various methods have been disclosed for functionalizing carborane structures, the methods to incorporate different types of heterocycles are still lacking. This limitation is likely due to the functional group incompatibility under previously reported reaction conditions, and the sterically hindered environment on boron cluster vertices further complicated the reaction development. In this article, we present a streamlined protocol to prepare a new class of vicinal difunctionalized carboranes containing benzoxazoles, NH heterocycles and anilines. This method involves a direct cross-coupling between 9-bromo-m-carborane and benzoxazoles, thereby eliminating the necessity for preceding deprotonation of the acidic C2 proton present in benzoxazole. Subsequent regioselective iodination at the B(10) vertex of the carborane and the second cross-coupling reactions with diverse indoles and anilines resulted in the formation of the desired vicinal difunctionalized products.","PeriodicalId":167,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
