Abstract
Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are the key components in many pharmaceuticals and functional materials. In this study, we report a transition metal-catalyzed high-order reaction sequence for synthesizing a structurally unique N-center 5,6,7-perifused cycle (NCPC). The key characteristics include the formation of a seven-membered ring by the 8π electrocyclization of various alkenes and aromatic heterocycles as π-components, in which metal carbene species are generated that further induce the cleavage of the α-C-H or -C-C bond. Specifically, the latter can react with various nucleophilic reagents containing -O, -S, -N, and -C. The stereo-controlled late-stage modification of some complicated pharmaceuticals indicates the versatility of this protocol.
