Tropone is the prototypical aromatic 7-membered ring, and can be found in virtually any
undergraduate textbook as a key example of non-benzenoid aromaticity. Aside from this …

The site-selective alkylation of α-aminotropones is effectively realized via gold (I)-catalyzed
electrophilic activation of allenamides and allenyl ethers, yielding up to 85% in 30 examples …

The total syntheses of tropolone-containing natural products malettinins C and E were
accomplished. A nitro compound and a chiral enone were prepared by using palladium …

The pyrazolo-azepino-centred polyheterocyclic fused system is a privileged scaffold, but it
lacks an effective synthetic approach, with modular synthesis being even more scarce …
