The traditional synthesis of [6–8–6] benzo-fused derivatives involves multistep reactions and low yields, making the development of a one-step synthesis method a more challenging work. Here, we present a novel strategy for one-step construction of [6–8–6] benzo-fused scaffold from propargyl diazoacetates substituted with benzyl-nitrogen heterocyclic ring via Rh(ll)-catalyzed carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM) and selective C–H bond insertion. This method exhibits a specific substrate scope, simple operation, mild reaction conditions, and high atom efficiency. Mechanistically, the process involves sequential CAM, 1,3-H-shift, intramolecular nucleophilic attack, and selective C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H/C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H bonds cascade insertion. Notably, the unique spirocyclic zwitterionic intermediate generated in this sequence contributes to <i>N</i>-heterocycle migration and fused eight-membered carbocycle formation. Additionally, the C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond insertion connected to the oxygen atom rather than the nitrogen atom has been unexpectedly confirmed with the assistance of the spirocyclic zwitterionic intermediate. Overall, our findings open up a new avenue for the construction of [6–8–6] benzo-fused scaffold.</p>","PeriodicalId":54,"journal":{"name":"Organic Letters","volume":"26 50","pages":"10719–10728 10719–10728"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acs.orglett.4c03619","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142858622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
