Rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions, sulfonyl phthalide annulations and nitroalkene reactions have been employed for the synthesis of 56 quinone-based compounds. These were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. The reactions described here are part of a program that aims to utilize modern, versatile and efficient synthetic methods for the one or two step preparation of trypanocidal compounds. We have identified 9 compounds with potent activity against the parasite; 3 of these were 30-fold more potent than benznidazole (Bz), a drug used for the treatment of Chagas disease. This article provides a comprehensive outline of reactions involving over 120 compounds aimed at the discovery of new quinone-based frameworks with activity against T. cruzi.
NaBArF4-Catalyzed Oxidative Cyclization of 1,5- and 1,6-Diynes: Efficient and Divergent Synthesis of Functionalized γ- and δ-Lactams

An efficient NaBArF4-catalyzed oxidative cyclization of readily available 1,5- and 1,6-diynes has been developed. Importantly, this transition metal-free oxidative catalysis proceeds via a presumable Lewis acid-catalyzed SN2’ pathway, which is distinct from the relevant oxidative rhodium and gold catalysis. This method leads to the facile and practical construction of a diverse range of synthetically useful γ- and δ-lactams in mostly good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope.
Gold(I)-catalyzed 1,2-acyloxy migration/[3+2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with an ynamide propargyl ester moiety: Highly efficient synthesis of functionalized cyclopenta[b]indoles

A gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-diynes containing an ynamide propargyl ester or carbonate moiety has been developed that provides an attractive route to a diverse-substituted 3-acyloxy-1,4-dihydrocyclopenta[b]indoles. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction likely proceeds through a competitive 1,2-OAc migration followed by [3+2] cycloaddition of the vinyl gold-carbenoid intermediate with the pendant triple bond. The synthetic utility of the obtained cyclopenta[b]indole products was demonstrated by their efficient transformations by deprotection or double-bond isomerization reactions.
