A facile synthetic approach towards two distinct pyrrole-based heterocyclic scaffolds has been developed by the interaction of 1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones fused at the [e]-side to a 1,4-benzoxazin-2-one or quinoxalin-2(1H)-one moiety with ketones. The described interaction proceeds either as an aldol reaction or as a Michael addition/intramolecular cyclization depending on the reaction conditions. The disclosed aldol reaction proceeds with good diastereoselectivity under catalyst-free conditions when the reaction is carried out in aromatic hydrocarbons. Products of the cascade Michael addition/intramolecular cyclization reaction are predominantly formed under catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The proposed strategy provides facile access to pharmaceutically interesting pyrrole-based polyheterocycles.

We report an efficient Mukaiyama-aldol reaction of tryptanthrin with fluorinated enol silyl ethers, which is carried out in methanol without the use of any catalyst. This represents the first modification of tryptanthrin by a fluoroalkyl group, which is applied to the total synthesis of the difluoro analogues of the natural product Phaitanthrin B.

A metal- and catalyst-free photoinduced radical cascade hydroalkylation of 1,7-enynes has been disclosed. The process is triggered by a SET event involving a photoexcited electron-donor-aceptor complex between NHPI ester and Hantzsch ester, which decomposes to afford a tertiary radical that is readily trapped by the enyne. <a>The method provides an operationally simple, robust and step-economical approach to the construction of diversely functionalized dihydroquinolinones bearing quaternary-centers. A sequential one-pot hydroalkylation-isomerization approach is also allowed giving access to a family of quinolinones. A wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance was observed in both approaches</a>.
