A transition-metal-free propargylation of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) with alkynyl zinc reagents was achieved. A conjugate alkynylation of an o-QM and subsequent cyclization sequence in the presence of KOt-Bu for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzofurans in one pot was developed. This efficient strategy exhibits good functional-group compatibility and gives moderate to good yields. The present reaction might serve as an attractive method for the synthesis of polysubstituted benzofurans.

An efficient, PhI(OAc)2-mediated, radical azidoheteroarylation of alkenes under transition-metal-free conditions is reported by employing TMSN3 and quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones as coupling partners. This domino reaction allows an efficient synthesis of valuable orangoazides containing quinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivatives and could be extended to phosphinyl-alkylated quinoxalin-2(1H)-one in a single step in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions, as demonstrated by the preliminary antibacterial evaluation against Magnaporthe grisea for the first time. Mechanistic studies revealed that this transformation undergoes a cascade addition pathway controlled by a polar radical.

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 practical and concise protocol for the efficient synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines from readily available α-amino acids and 2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)anilines under transition metal-free conditions has been established. This protocol, which includes the formation of new C–C and C–N bonds, features a wide substrate scope with a broad range of functional group tolerance.
