Dehydrogenation Coupling and [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of Indolizines with Allenes in the Presence of Piezoelectric Materials under Ball Milling Conditions.

A wide range of indolizines with allenes proceeded smoothly under mechanochemical-induced conditions via [3 + 2] annulation process, affording various substituted pyrrolo[2,1,5-cd]indolizines with good yield. The reaction efficiency was greatly improved by using a piezoelectric material as the charge transfer catalyst. The photophysical properties of the resulting pyrrolo[2,1,5-cd]indolizine was characterized.

Mechanochemical Electrophilic Mono- or Disulfur Transfer: Construction of P(O)-S or P(O)-S-S Bonds.

Under mechanochemically induced conditions, a wide range of diarylphosphine oxides or H-phosphonates react with trisulfide dioxides to afford various thiophosphate derivatives in good yields. Selective S-S bond cleavage of trisulfide dioxides determined by connecting groups is proposed as the key step in the construction of P(O)-S or P(O)-S-S bonds, which is supported by calculations.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of 1,2-Diketoindolizine Derivatives from Indolizines and Epoxides Using Piezoelectric Materials.

A simple and efficient mechanochemical-induced approach for the synthesis of 1,2-diketoindolizine derivatives has been developed. BaTiO3 was used as the piezoelectric material in this transformation. This method features no usage of solvent, simple experimental operation, scalable potential, and high conversion efficiency, which make it attractive and practical.
