    Tandem transformation of indazolones to quinazolinones through pd-catalyzed carbene insertion into an n–n bond
    (ACS, 2023-01) Shakuja, Rajeev
    Serendipitous and expedite transformation of 1-aryl- and 2-aryl-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones to 1,2-di(hetero)aryl- and 2,3-di(hetero)aryl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones, respectively, was achieved in high efficiency by reacting them with aldehydic N-tosylhydrazones. The protocol proceeded through a cascade process involving base-mediated Pd-carbenoid generation by the decomposition of N-tosylhydrazones, nucleophilic attack of indazolone on the Pd-carbenoid complex, and intramolecular ring expansion via N–N bond cleavage. The utility of the strategy is demonstrated toward the synthesis of bioactive NPS 53574, a calcium receptor antagonist.

    RH(III)-catalyzed fabrication of [4,3,1]-bridged azaheterocycles using quinone monoacetals
    (ACS, 2025-06) Sakhuja, Rajeev
    A rhodium-catalyzed annulation strategy for the fabrication of cyclohexanone-bridged indazolones and other related diazole-ones and diazine-ones was established using quionone monoacetals under mild conditions. On the other hand, the use of 4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone under the optimized Rh-conditions produced an ortho-CAr-arylated product in moderate reactivity. Mechanistic studies suggested that the coupling proceeded via one-pot C–H activation-Michael/hetero-Michael additions into the enone moiety. Interestingly, the [4,3,1]-bridged-1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones underwent unexpected migratory aromatization in acidic condition to produce 3-hydroxy-14H-benzo[c]indazolo[1,2-a]cinnolin-14-ones in high yields.

    Electrochemical Oxidative Coupling Between Benzylic C(sp3)–H and N–H of Secondary Amines: Rapid Synthesis of α-Amino α-Aryl Esters
    (ACS, 2021-06) Kumar, Indresh
    An intermolecular electrochemical coupling between the benzylic C(sp3)–H bond and various secondary amines is reported. The electronic behavior of two electronically rich units viz the α-position of α-aryl acetates and amines was engineered electrochemically, thus facilitating their reactivity for the direct access of α-amino esters. A series of acyclic/cyclic secondary amines and α-aryl acetates were tested to furnish the corresponding α-amino esters with high yields (up to 92%) under mild conditions.

    Asymmetric Synthesis of Bridged N-Heterocycles with Tertiary Carbon Center through Barbas Dienamine-Catalysis: Scope and Applications
    (ACS, 2021-11) Kumar, Indresh; Kumar, Dalip
    A direct aza-Diels–Alder reaction between 2-aryl-3H-indolin-3-ones and cyclic-enones has been developed to access chiral indolin-3-one fused polycyclic bridged compounds. This method proceeds via proline-catalyzed Barbas-dienamine intermediate formation from various cyclic-enones such as 2-cyclopenten-1-one, 2-cyclohexene-1-one, and 2-cycloheptene-1-one, followed by a reaction with 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones. Several indolin-3-ones fusing [2.2.2], [2.2.1], and [3.2.1] skeletons decorated with a tertiary carbon chiral center have been prepared. Computational studies (DFT) supported the observed stereoselectivity in the method. The synthesized compounds have shown exciting photophysical activities and selective sensing of Pd2+ and Fe3+ ions through the fluorescence quenching “switch-off” mode.

    Electrochemical Synthesis of 2-Aryl-3-(2-aminoaryl)quinoxalines via Oxidative Dearomatization/Ring-Opening/Cyclization Cascade Sequence of 2-Arylindoles with 1,2-Diaminoarenes
    (ACS, 2023-07) Kumar, Indresh
    A straightforward method has been developed to synthesize 2-aryl-3-(2-aminoaryl) quinoxalines from 2-arylindoles and 1,2-diaminoarenes under mild electrochemical conditions. The reaction proceeds through in situ generations of 2-arylindole-3-ones under electrochemical oxidative dearomatization of 2-arylindoles, followed by a ring opening-cyclization sequence with 1,2-diaminoarenes. A series of 2-aryl-3-(2-aminoaryl) quinoxalines have been prepared with moderate to good yields (up to 75%).

    Direct Amine-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Pentacyclic Dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine/Thiazepine-Fused Isoquinuclidines along with DFT Calculations
    (ACS, 2020-10) Kumar, Dalip; Kumar, Indresh
    A direct protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of dibenzoxazepine/thiazepine-fused [2.2.2] isoquinuclidines is developed. The reaction proceeds through a proline-catalyzed direct Mannich reaction followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael cascade sequence between 2-cyclohexene-1-one and various tricyclic imines, like dibenzoxazepines/thiazepines, as an overall [4 + 2] aza-Diels–Alder reaction. A series of pentacyclic isoquinuclidines have been prepared, with complete endo-selectivity, in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivity (>99:1). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further support the observed high stereochemical outcome of the reaction.

    KPF6-Mediated Esterification and Amidation of Carboxylic Acids
    (ACS, 2022-01) Kumar, Anil
    A novel KPF6-promoted green method has been developed for the synthesis of esters and amides. A wide range of carboxylic acids and alcohols or amines worked well under the developed reaction conditions, thus providing good to excellent (61–98%) yields of the corresponding esters and amides. The method worked well with bioactive substrates such as cholesterol, levulinic acid, and linoleic acid. Wide substrate scope, operational simplicity, scalability, and sustainability make this protocol a practical and economically attractive approach for the preparation of ester and amides.
