An efficient method of accessing new CF3-containing spiro-[indene-proline] derivatives has been developed based on a Cp*Rh(III)-catalyzed tandem C-H activation/[3+2]–annulation reaction of 5-aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates with alkynes. An important feature of this spiro annulation process is the feasibility of dehydroproline moiety to act as a directing group in the selective activation of the aromatic C-H bond.

A convenient pathway to a new series of α-CF3-substituted α-amino acid derivatives bearing pharmacophore isoquinolone core in their backbone has been developed. The method is based on [4+2]-annulation of N-(pivaloyloxy) aryl amides with orthogonally protected internal acetylene-containing α-amino carboxylates under Rh(III)-catalysis. The target annulation products can be easily transformed into valuable isoquinoline derivatives via a successive aromatization/cross-coupling operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A series of new orthogonally protected α‐CF3‐substituted α‐amino carboxylates, and α‐amino phosphonates decorated with pharmacophore isoquinolone core has been elaborated through the Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H activation/annulation of aryl hydroxamates with propargyl‐containing α‐amino acid derivatives and their phosphorus analogues.

[Display omitted] An efficient and selective access to novel α-CF 3 -substituted γ,δ-didehydro lysine derivatives and their phosphorus analogues has been developed via the Cu-catalyzed Mannich reaction of α-amino α-propargyl α-trifluoromethyl carboxylates or phosphonates with different secondary amines and paraformaldehyde.

Functionally substituted indole derivatives are important intermediates for the synthesis of new potential drug candidates exhibiting strong bioactivities. Over the past few years, significant progress has been made in the direct C-H functionalization of the indole ring through the usage of metal-catalyzed intermolecular cross-coupling with diazo compounds. Directing group strategy provides a unique possibility for selective insertion of carbenes catalytically generated from diazo compounds into challenging indole C2-H and C7-H bonds. This short review summarizes recent advances in carbenoid functionalization of indole derivatives under chelation-controlled metal catalysis. 1 Introduction 2 Indole C2 Alkylation with a-Diazotized Meldrum's Acid 3 Indole C2 Alkylation with Diazomalonate Derivatives and Related Compounds 4 Indole C7 Alkylation with Diazomalonates and Related Compounds 5 Tandem Indole C2-H Alkylation/Cyclization 6 Indoline C7 Alkylation with Diazomalonates and Related Compounds 7 Tandem Indoline C7-H Alkylation/Cyclization 8 Conclusion.

An efficient method for the CF3-carbenoid C-7 functionalization of N-pyrimidylindolines has been developed. This protocol uses readily available methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-diazopropionate as a cross-coupling partner and smoothly proceeds under chelation-controlled RhIII catalysis. The reactions provide the indoline products with high regioselectivity within a few hours and allow for the introduction of both the CF3 and carboxylate functions at the C-7 position.

An efficient method for the CF3-carbenoid C-H functionalization of benzenes and indoles using readily available methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-diazopropionate as a cross-coupling partner under chelation-controlled RhIII catalysis has been developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly with high regioselectivity in a few hours and allowed the simultaneous introduction of CF3 and carboxylate functions into the 2-position of directing-group-containing benzenes and indoles.

An efficient synthetic approach to novel α-CF3-substituted E-dehydroornithine derivatives and their phosphorus analogues has been developed via the Cu(i)-catalyzed hydroamination of trifluoromethyl-containing α-allenyl-α-aminocarboxylates and α-allenyl-α-aminophosphonates with primary and secondary amines.

An efficient method for the CF3-carbenoid C-H functionalization of 6-arylpurines has been developed. This protocol uses readily available methyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-diazopropionate as a cross-coupling partner and proceeds smoothly under chelation-controlled Rh(iii) catalysis. The reactions provide the corresponding carbene insertion products with high regioselectivity within a few hours and allow the introduction of both the CF3 and carboxylate functions into biologically important purine molecules including nucleoside derivatives.
