AbstractA convenient approach to assemble 1,2,3-triazole-fused 4H-3,1-benzoxazines has been developed. Diverse alcohol-tethered 5-iodotriazoles, readily accessible by a modified protocol of Cu-catalyzed (3+2)-cycloaddition, were utilized as precursors of the target fused heterocycles. The intramolecular C–O coupling proceeded efficiently under base-mediated transition-metal-free conditions, furnishing cyclization products in yields up to 96%. Suppression of the competing reductive cleavage of the C–I bond was achieved by the use of Na2CO3 in acetonitrile at 100 °C. This practical and cost-effective procedure features a broad substrate scope and valuable functional group tolerance.

In recent decades, C–H borylation has undergone rapid development and has become one of the most important and efficient methods for the synthesis of organoboron compounds. Although transition-metal catalysis dominates C–H borylation, the metal-free approach has emerged as a promising alternative strategy. This article briefly summarizes the history of metal-free aromatic C–H borylation, including early reports on electrophilic C–H borylation and recent progress in metal-free catalytic intermolecular C–H borylation; it also highlights our recent work on BF3·Et2O-catalyzed C2–H borylation of hetarenes. Despite these recent advances, comprehensive mechanistic studies on various metal-free catalytic aromatic C–H borylations and novel processes with a wider substrate scope are eagerly expected in the near future.

Iodonium ylides can undergo cyclization with a simple tertiary arylamine to afford N-heterocyclic products in a transition-metal-free approach in the absence of an additional initiator/oxidant. The ­inherent reactivity uncovered in this transformation is fundamentally different from known chemical properties of iodonium ylide compounds, thus providing a new opportunity for the further exploration of iodonium ylide-based chemical transformations. This Synpacts article describes the historical background of iodonium ylide chemistry and highlights recent progress disclosed by our work.1 Introduction2 The Strategy for New Reaction Discovery3 Application to Cyclization of Tertiary Arylamines4 Conclusion and Perspectives
