The most recent advances in the construction of oxygen heterocycles by the directing-group-assisted transition-metal-catalyzed direct oxidative annulation of arenes with diverse alkynes are summarized in this review. More than 140 recent research papers and many closely related reviews are referenced in this paper. Nine different oxygen heterocycles frameworks are discussed. Several traditional transition-metal catalysts as well as some classical non-noble metals are utilized to promote the annulation. Three plausible controlling models are disclosed to clarify the excellent regioselectivity outcomes achieved in case of unsymmetrical alkyne substrates.1 Introduction2 Coumarins3 I socoumarins and Their Analogues4 2-Pyrones and Their Analogues5 Chromones and Chroman-4-ones6 Chromenes and Isochromenes7 Fused Polycyclic Oxygen Heteroaromatics8 Benzofurans, Dihydrobenzofurans, and Furans9 Phthalides and Benzofuranones10 Benzoxepines11 Conclusion

Abstract Seven-membered rings are ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceutical agents, and their syntheses continue to stimulate the development of novel synthetic methods. The [5 + 2] cycloaddition is one of the most efficient ways to access seven-membered rings since the two-carbon components (alkenes, alkynes, or allenes) are readily available. Prior to our study, however, there was only one type of transition-metal-catalyzed [5 + 2] cycloaddition: the reaction between vinylcyclopropanes and alkenes, alkynes, or allenes. We recently developed a new type of transition-metal-catalyzed [5 + 2] cycloaddition, where the five-carbon building block is 3-acyloxy-1,4-enyne (ACE). Our recent progress on Rh-catalyzed intra- and intermolecular [5 + 2] cycloadditions of ACEs and alkynes is summarized in this article. Using chiral propargylic esters, bicyclic products were prepared in high optical purity by the intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloadditions. Monocyclic seven-membered rings were synthesized by intermolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition of ACEs and alkynes. Kinetic studies indicated that the rate of this intermolecular cycloaddition was significantly accelerated when the acetate was replaced by dimethylaminobenzoate. DFT calculations suggested that novel metallacycles were generated by a Rh-promoted oxidative cycloaddition of 1,4-enynes accompanied by a 1,2-acyloxy migration of propargylic esters.
