A sequential three-component cascade process was developed for the synthesis of bridged tetrahydroquinolines and chromanes bearing 2,6-methanobenzo [d][1,3]diazocine and 2,6methanobenzo[g][1,3]oxazocine scaffolds, respectively, in good yields from readily available materials. The InCl 3 -catalyzed reaction progressed via enamine formation, Michael addition, intramolecular cyclization, and intramolecular iminium ion cyclization steps. Notably, this high atom economic approach (−2H 2 O) allowed the generation of four new bonds (

A microwave-assisted, copper-catalyzed, one-pot, two-step reaction was established to access functionalized [1,6]-naphthyridines in high yields (up to 96%) starting from 2-(N-propargylamino)benzaldehydes and arylamines. This rapid and operationally simple sequential reaction...

A microwave-assisted, palladium(II)-catalyzed cascade reaction of 2-alkynylanilines tethered with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety was established to access 5,10-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]indoles in high yields (up to 84%) in a short reaction time. This operationally...
