This review is focused on the analysis of current data on new methods of alkenylation of
arenes and heteroarenes with alkynes by transition metal catalyzed reactions …

Indenones are important scaffolds in natural products, biologically active molecules as well
as functional materials. Recently, radical cascade cyclization has emerged as an efficient …

Polycyclic hydrocarbons consisting of two or more directly fused antiaromatic subunits are
rare due to their high reactivity. However, it is important to understand how the interactions …

The Cu (I)-catalyzed annulation–halotrifluoromethylation and cyanotrifluoromethylation of
enynones have been established, enabling multibond formations of the synthesis of …

New radical-triggered multi-component cyclizations of β-alkynyl propenones have been
developed, leading to 50 examples of sulfonated 1-indenones with generally good yields …

An efficient copper-catalyzed radical cascade cyclization strategy was developed, by which
a wide variety of 3-sulfonyl substituted indenones were prepared in one pot via reaction of 2 …

Carbonylation of o-arylanilines utilizing CO2 as a carbonyl source for the synthesis of
important phenanthridinones with a free (NH)-lactam motif has been described under metal …

To show the synthetic utility of palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis, here
we report concise syntheses of indenone‐based natural products, pauciflorol F and …

Synthetic mechanochemistry, the use of mechanical force produced by milling, grinding or
extruding, as an activation technique, provides access to chemical entities of all kinds. This …

An unprecedented nickel‐catalyzed domino reductive cyclization of alkynes and o‐
bromoaryl aldehydes is described. The reaction features broad substrate scope and is …
