- Nickel-Catalyzed Intramolecular Nucleophilic Addition of Aryl Halides to Aryl Ketones for the Synthesis of Benzofuran Derivatives
-
A nickel-catalyzed intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction of aryl halides to aryl ketones for the formation of benzofuran derivatives has been developed. A number of substrates bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups were subjected to the standard reaction conditions, giving the corresponding products in moderate to good yields.

- Nickel-Catalyzed Asymmetric Addition of Aromatic Halides to Ketones: Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral 2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans Containing a Tertiary Alcohol
-
A highly enantioselective and straightforward synthetic procedure to chiral 3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzofurans has been developed by nickel/bisoxazoline-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric addition of aryl halides to unactivated ketones, giving 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans with a chiral tertiary alcohol at the C-3 position in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 92percent yield and 98percent ee). The gram-scale reaction also proceeded smoothly without a loss of yield and enantioselectivity.

- Total synthesis of protosappanin A and its derivatives via palladium catalyzed ortho C-H activation/C-C cyclization under microwave irradiation
-
A total synthesis method for protosappanin A, which is a complex natural product with many biological activities, was developed with 6 linear steps. Dibenzo[b,d]oxepinones as the key intermediates of the synthetic route were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed ortho C-H activation/C-C cyclization under microwave irradiation. 25 derivatives of protosappanin A were obtained.

- Palladium(0)-catalyzed single and double isonitrile insertion: A facile synthesis of benzofurans, indoles, and isatins
-
A palladium(0)-catalyzed cascade process consisting of isonitrile insertion and ?±-Csp3-H cross-coupling can be achieved for the synthesis of benzofurans and indoles. The construction of isatins by a Pd-catalyzed cascade reaction incorporating double isonitrile insertion, amination, and hydrolysis has also been achieved. The key features of this work include diverse heterocycle synthesis, phosphine-ligand-free reaction conditions, a one-pot procedure, simple and commercially available starting materials, broad functional-group compatibility, and moderate to good reaction yields.

- tert-BuOK-mediated carbanion-yne intramolecular cyclization: Synthesis of 2-substituted 3-benzylbenzofurans
-
A mild, efficient, and regioselective carbanion-yne intramolecular cyclization mediated by t-BuOK for the synthesis of 2-substituted 3-benzylbenzofurans is developed. It was started from o-iodophenol (1), based on O-alkylation, and the Sonogashira reaction in sequence to produce 2-(2-phenylethynylphenoxy)-1-arylalkanones (5). An intramolecular carbanion-yne 5-exo-dig cyclization reaction of 5, which was mediated by t-BuOK, yielded title benzofurans in good yields.
