Activation of different benzophenone derivatives with triflic anhydride for electrophilic aromatic substitution of 5-phenylbarbituric acids leads to regioselective formation of the ortho-substituted p
Nitrosoallene-mediated endo-dig cyclization reactions producing (hetero)cyclic exo-unsaturated oximes (enoximes) are described. The intramolecular 1,4-type addition to in situ generated nitrosoallene
Dithiocarbamate-substituted lactams, prepared through group-transfer cyclization reactions of carbamoyl radicals, undergo a Chugaev-like thermal elimination of the dithiocarbamate group in refluxing d
The Pictet–Spengler reaction between tryptamine and (5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-glyoxal in hot AcOH could trigger a redox-mediated cyclization and reduction sequence to form iheyamine A in 52% yield.
