A highly efficient approach to the synthesis of spiroketals involves the double cyclization of alkynyl diols using transition-metal catalysts. The iridium complex [Ir(PyP)(CO)2]BPh4 where PyP = 1-[(2-diphenylphosphino)ethyl]pyrazole is an effective catalyst for promoting the formation of spiroketals via this double hydroalkoxylation reaction. The complex promotes the formation of a series of spiroketal products from alkynyl diol starting materials such as 3-ethynylpentane-1,5-diol and 2-(4-hydroxybut-1-ynyl)benzyl alcohol. Stereoselective cyclization occurs for 3-ethynylpentane-1,5-diol, 3-ethynylhexane-1,6-diol. The cycloadditions occur in all but one case with quantitative conversion in under 24 h at 120 °C.

A TBHP-mediated dehydrogenative cross-oxidative-coupling approach has been developed for the synthesis of N-arylbenzamides from methylarenes and acetanilides. This cross-coupling method is free of transition metal catalysts and ligands, and no extra organic solvents are required, which make it an useful and attractive strategy for the straightforward construction of C–N bonds. Besides, this conversion is an important complement to the conventional C–N forming strategies.

AbstractThis Account discusses several new reaction methods developed in our group that utilize sulfur-mediated reactions through sulfonium salts and ylides, highlighting the interplay of rational design and serendipity. Our initial goal was to convert aliphatic C–H bonds into C–C bonds site-selectively, and without the use of transition-metal catalysts. While a proof-of-concept has been achieved, this target is far from being ideally realized. The unexpected discovery of an anti-Markovnikov rearrangement and subsequent studies on difunctionalization of alkynes were much more straightforward, and eventually led to the new possibility of asymmetric N–H insertion of sulfonium ylides through Brønsted acid catalysis.1 Introduction2 Allylic/Propargylic C–H Functionalization3 Anti-Markovnikov Rearrangement4 Difunctionalization of Alkynes5 Asymmetric N–H Insertion of Sulfonium Ylides6 Conclusion
