A comparative study on the Au(I)-catalyzed and IBr-promoted tandem cyclization of 1,5-enyne was reported. This study provides a meaningful mechanistic insight to the concerted nature of this tandem reaction and also provides interesting applications in the synthesis of 7/5- or 8/5-fused bicycles and biaryls.

This paper describes the racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for a novel 4'$\alpha$-phenyl and 6'$\alpha$-methyl doubly branched carbocyclic nucleosides from an acyclic 2-hydroxy acetophenone. The installation of phenyl group at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was successfully accomplished via a sequential [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The stereoselective introduction of a methyl group in the 6'$\alpha$-position was accomplished by Felkin-Anh controlled alkylation. Bis-vinyl 11 compound was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs’ catalyst II to desired carbocycles. The natural bases (adenine and cytosine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. Although all the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV, only cytosine analogues 17 exhibited weak antiviral activity against HCMV.

Recent studies on the photoreactivity of l,4-unsaturated systems have changed some ideas that were firmly established in this area of research for many years. Thus, we have described the first examples of 2-aza-di-$\pi$-methane (2-ADPM) rearrangements promoted by triplet-sensitization and by single electron transfer (SET) using electron-acceptor sensitizers. These reactions afford N-vinylaziridine and cyclopropylimine photoproducts in the first examples of di-$\pi$-methane processes that yield three-membered ring heterocycles. l-Aza-1,4-dienes also undergo SET-promoted l-aza-di-$\pi$-methane (l-ADPM) rearrangements via radical-cation intermediates using electron acceptor sensitizers. In some cases, alternative cyclizations yielding different carbocycles and heterocycles have been observed. The l-ADPM and di-$\pi$-methane (DPM) reactions also occur via radical-anion intermediates on irradiation using electron donor sensitizers. On the other hand, the photoreactivity reported for $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes for many years was decarbonylation to the corresponding alkenes. However, our studies demonstrate that these compounds undergo the oxa-di-$\pi$-methane (ODPM) rearrangement with high chemical and quantum efficiency. A comparison of the photochemical reactivity of $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes and corresponding methyl ketones has shown that the ketones do not undergo the ODPM rearrangement while the corresponding aldehydes are reactive by this pathway. Monosubstituted $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated aldehydes at C-2 undergo the ODPM rearrangement yielding the corresponding cyclopropane carbaldehydes diastereoselectively. Finally, we have described the first examples of reactions, similar to the well know Norrish Type I process, which take place in the triplet excited state of $\beta$,${\gamma}$-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by excitation of the C-C double bond instead of the carbonyl group.
