Flavone and analogues represent an important class of biologically and pharmacologically active substances commonly found in the composition of diverse plants as part of the class of secondary metabolites. Herein, we have demonstrated an efficient and regioselective synthetic strategy for the preparation of functionalized flavones through sequential demethylation/6-endo-dig intramolecular cyclization of propyn-1-ones, using catalytic amounts of base in the presence of a thiol, by employing NMP as the solvent. The reactions proceeded smoothly under transition-metal-free and open to air conditions, furnishing the desired six-membered heterocycles in moderate to excellent yields, in short reaction time.

The regioselective synthesis of benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole derivatives via amination (C–N) and intramolecular cyclization (C–S) reactions in the presence of molecular iodine has been reported. This method is base and metal free and features inexpensive catalysts, with a simple procedure and a short reaction time.

A transition metal-free formal synthesis of phenoxazine is presented. The key step of the sequence is a high-yielding O-arylation of a phenol with an unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salt to provide an ortho-disubstituted diaryl ether. This species was cyclized to acetylphenoxazine in moderate yield. The overall yield in the three-step sequence is 72% based on recovered diaryl ether. An interesting, unusually stable iodine(III) intermediate in the O-arylation was observed by NMR and could be converted to the product upon longer reaction time.

A convenient synthesis of 1,5-fused 1,2,4-triazoles from readily available N-arylamidines is reported. The reaction is efficiently promoted by chloramine-T to afford the desired products mostly in high yields and in relatively short time, through direct metal-free oxidative N−N bond formation. The mild nature of the synthesis and short reaction time are notable advantages of the developed protocol. This protocol is effective toward various substrates having different functionalities.

A robust transition-metal-free strategy is presented to access novel β-carboline-tethered benzothiophenone derivatives from 1(3)-formyl-β-carbolines using elemental sulfur activated by Et3N/DMSO. This expeditious catalyst-free reaction proceeds through the formation of β-carboline-based 2-nitrochalcones followed by an incorporation of sulfur to generate multifunctional β-carboline-linked benzothiophenones in good to excellent yields. The synthetic strategy could also be extended towards the synthesis of β-carboline-linked benzothiophenes. Moreover, the afforded products emerged as promising fluorophores and displayed excellent light-emitting properties with quantum yields (ΦF) up to 47%.

A novel oxidative amination of sp3 C–H bonds was developed for the efficient synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]quinolines from readily available α-amino acids and (2-azaaryl)methanes. This domino protocol, which was established in a TBAI-TBHP oxidation system, includes transition-metal-free decarboxylation and intramolecular cyclization. This method represented a new avenue for the synthesis of N-heterocycles using 2-methylquinolines as the synthon of quinoline-2-carbaldehydes.

A versatile transition-metal free synthetic strategy has been developed for the direct synthesis of 6-substituted indoloquinazolinones from 2-acyl-4-quinazolinones and aryne precursors. This cascade strategy proceeds via successive C–N and C–C bond formation in a single reaction vessel.

A mild, efficient and transition-metal free synthetic strategy has been developed for the α-arylation of 4-aminocoumarins using arynes as an aryl source. This synthetic strategy proceeds via C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond formation between 4-aminocoumarins and aryne precursors in a single step in the absence of a metal-catalyst.
