RESUMO
Co(III)-catalyzed alkenylation of 2-pyridones by using terminal alkyne as a reaction partner with high regioselectivity has been demonstrated for the first time. The reaction conditions are mild and compatible with a wide range of substrate combinations. It also shows good functional group tolerance. It proceeds through cyclometalation followed by alkyne insertion and protodemetalation steps. The formation of five- and seven-membered cobaltacycle intermediates was also detected through high-resolution mass spectrometry.

The ruthenium(II)-catalyzed regioselective annulation of N-(7-azaindole)amides with 1,3-diynes has been demonstrated. Bioactive N-amino-7-azaindole has been used as a new bidentate directing group to furnish an array of 3-alkynylated isoquinolones. Furthermore, the developed protocol works efficiently for both aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted amides producing a range of pharmacologically useful 7-azaindole-based isoquinolones with a wide range of functionality.

This review focuses on providing comprehensive highlights of the recent advances in the field of cobalt-catalysed C-H functionalization and related synthetic concepts, relying on these through oxygen atom coordination. In recent years, 3d transition metal (Fe, Co, Cu & Ni) catalysed C-H functionalization reactions have received immense attention on account of its higher abundance and low cost, as compared to noble metals such as Ir, Rh, Ru and Pd. Among the first-row transition metals, cobalt is one of the extensively used metals for sustainable synthesis due to its unique reactivity towards the functionalization of inert C-H bonds. The functionalization of the inert C-H bond necessitates a proximal directing group. In this context, strongly coordinating nitrogen atom directed C-H functionalizations have been well explored. Nevertheless, strongly coordinating nitrogen-containing scaffolds, such as pyridine, pyrimidine, and 8-aminoquinoline, have to be installed and removed in a separate process. In contrast, C-H functionalizations through weakly coordinating atoms, such as oxygen, are largely underdeveloped. Since the oxygen atom is a part of many readily available functional groups, such as aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters, it could be used as directing groups for selective C-H functionalization reactions without any modification. Thus, the use of 3d transition metals, such as cobalt, along with weakly coordinating (oxygen) directing groups for C-H functionalization reactions are more sustainable, especially for the large-scale production of pharmaceuticals in industries. During the last decade, notable progress has been made using this concept. Nonetheless, almost all the reports are restricted to the formation of C-C and C-N bond. Therefore, there is a wide scope for developing this area for the formation of other bonds, such as C-X (halogens), C-B, C-S, and C-Se.
RESUMO
A ruthenium(II)-catalyzed cross dehydrogenative annulation of N-(7-azaindole)benzamides with maleimides has been demonstrated. Herein, we have explored the use of N-amino-7-azaindole as a new bidentate directing group for dehydrogenative [4 + 2] annulation. This method works efficiently, affording a variety of pharmacologically useful 7-azaindole-based isoquinolones and showing a wide functional group tolerance.

Bismuth(iii)-catalyzed regioselective functionalization at the C-6 position of tetrahydroquinolines and the C-5 position of indolines has been demonstrated. For the first time, one pot symmetrical and unsymmetrical arylation of isatins with tetrahydroquinolines was accomplished giving a completely new product skeleton in good to excellent yields. Most importantly, this protocol leads to the formation of a highly strained quaternary carbon stereogenic center, which is a challenging task. Benzhydryl and 1-phenylethyl trichloroacetimidates have been used as the alkylating partners to functionalize the C-6 and C-5 positions of tetrahydroquinolines and indolines, respectively. The scope of the developed methodology has been extended for the synthesis of the bioactive CYP19-inhibitor and its analogue.

Strain-driven palladium/N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed C-C bond activation of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPC) has been explored for one-step access to trisubstituted α,ß-unsaturated esters and amides. The designed transformation works under mild conditions providing exclusively a single stereoisomer. Mechanistic studies support the oxidative addition of the C-C bond of cyclopropenone to in-situ-generated Pd(0) intermediate. We have proved that vinylic hydrogen in the product is coming from phenol/aniline through deuterium-labeling studies. Late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules such as procaine, estrone, and hymecromone demonstrates the robustness of this protocol.
RESUMO
A redox neutral Co(III)-catalyzed annulation of α,ß-unsaturated oxime ether with alkyne has been reported. Multisubstituted pyridines were synthesized in good yields without the use of any heavy metal oxidants. The developed methodology tolerates a variety of functional groups. Notably, this transformation has been applied to the late-stage modification of the bioactive molecule dehydropregnenolone.
RESUMO
A Rh-catalyzed pot and step economic synthesis of aza-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (N-PAHs) from readily available aryl ketones and alkynes has been disclosed. Additionally, a novel synthetic application of the well-known aminating reagent hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA) has been explored as an in situ redox-neutral directing group for the formation of N-PAHs via isoquinoline. Multiple bond formation in a single operation through a cascade of triple C-H bond activations is the beauty of this protocol. The challenging annulations of two different alkynes in a regioselective fashion have been demonstrated effectively. Mechanistic studies reveal that 3,4-diphenyl-1-methylisoquinoline is an active intermediate for this one-pot transformation.
RESUMO
A highly stereo- and regioselective synthesis of the core skeleton of hexahydrobenzo[c]phenanthridine-type alkaloids is reported herein for the first time. A wide range of substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and good to excellent yields were observed. This protocol gives very concise and efficient access to the core skeleton of chelidonine alkaloids as compared to the earlier approaches.
RESUMO
A new strategy for the C(7)-H functionalization of indoline derivatives using first-row transition-metal cobalt has been demonstrated wherein the pivaloyl group acts as a weakly coordinating directing group. Biologically important pyroquilon (tetrahydropyroquinolinone) derivatives have been synthesized in a one-pot manner through selective C(7)-H functionalization and concomitant cyclization. In this process, aromatic C-H and amidic C-N bonds are cleaved, and new C-C and C-N bonds are formed in a step-economical fashion. Further, selective C(7)-H alkenylation of indoline derivatives has also been accomplished using activated alkenes by varying the reaction conditions.
RESUMO
We report a new application of N-amino-7-azaindole as a new bidentate-directing group for [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2-catalyzed C(sp2)-H alkenylation/annulation of N-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl)benzamides with internal alkynes to afford N-isoquinolono-7-azaindole via the formation of C-C and C-N bonds. The reaction shows a wide range of substrate scope with different symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes, affording the desired product in good to excellent yields. In the case of unsymmetrical alkynes, a highly regioselective product was obtained, which was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. A new ruthenium-4-methyl-N-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-1-yl)benzamide complex was isolated, and its structure was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
