A copper‐catalyzed site‐selective C5‐dicarbonylation reaction of anthranils has been developed for synthesis of 1,2‐dicarbonyl compounds using methyl ketone as a commercially available carbonylation reagent. This process represents the first example to implement the C5‐dicarbonylation of anthranils, which involves an oxidative Csp3‐H/Csp2‐H cross‐coupling reaction along with thermolytic N−O bond cleavage.

A molecular iodine mediated oxidative cross-coupling of β-keto ester sp 3 C–H with 1 H -indole sp 2 C–H was developed for the synthesis of indolo[2,3- b ]carbazoles. A self-sequenced iodination/Kornblum oxidation/hydrolyzation/decarboxylative/deacylation/aromatization mechanism has been proposed as a possible reaction sequence to account for the results observed in this study.

An efficient iodine-mediated multipathway coupled domino reaction has been developed for the synthesis of thiobenzamides from benzylamines, benzylamines/aldehydes, and N -alkyl benzylamines under the same reaction conditions. This approach combines two consecutive domino processes in one pot using iodine as the oxidant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel method for the construction of diheteroaryl thioethers from aromatic methyl ketones and thiourea is described. Iodine is the unique catalyst in this protocol. The transformation is free of foul-smell thiols and transition metal. In addition, this method could synthesize two thiazole rings and a sulfur bridge in one pot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Selective syntheses of six-membered and five-membered spiro-naphthalenones from the same starting substrates by controlling the molar ratio of ternary gallium/indium/copper (Ga/In/Cu) catalysts have been demonstrated. The method may have potential applications in natural product synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Employing simple and readily available aromatic ketones and anilines as starting materials resulted in the construction of 2-acylbenzothiazoles via a novel self-sequence reaction network, which assembles six reactions in one pot. The reaction network not only supplied a novel method for constructing complex molecules but also provided a typical example for logical self-organization synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
