Catalytic bicyclization cascades of oxygen-tethered 1,7-enynes with simple cycloalkanes or aryl sulfonhydrazides have been established via subsequent multiple C-C bond-forming events from alkynyl/alkenyl functions, delivering a series of densely functionalized tetracyclic chromen-2-ones in a functional-group-compatible manner. In the former, Fe-catalyzed spiro-bicyclization involves radical addition, 6-exo-dig cyclization, H-abstraction and 5-endo-trig cyclization sequences under mild conditions, resulting in new spiro-fused cyclopenta[c]chromen-2-ones via dual α,α-C(sp 3 )-H abstractions. The latter enables in-situ sulfonylation and desulfonylation of oxygen-tethered 1,7-enynes to realize the construction of multiple C-C bonds, thereby leading to the formation of naphtho[2,3-c]chromen-6-ones.Example for the synthesis of 5a To a 10-mL Schlenk tube, 2-(phenylethynyl)phenyl methacrylate (1a, 0.20 mmol), tosylhydrazide (4a, 0.7 mmol), TBAI (0.02 mmol), and DCE (3.0 mL) as well as TBHP (5.5 mol/L in decane, 1.0 mmol) were successively added under argon conditions. The reaction system was then stirred at 80 ℃ for 24 h as monitored by TLC. After the completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum.
