An efficient reaction of carbon disulfide with oxiranes in the presence of sodium hydride (10 mol%) and methanol gives functionalized 1,3­oxathiolane-2-thiones in very good yields.

A mild reaction of α,α-difluoroalkyl amines with β-amino alcohols, β-amino thiols, and β-diamines affords the corresponding oxazoline, thiazoline, and imidazoline derivatives, respectively. The conditions are applicable for the synthesis of optically active heterocyclic compounds.

A highly efficient and stereoselective gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of α-thioallenes to 2,5-dihydrothiophenes has been discovered.

With CuI as the catalyst and K₃PO₄ • 3 H₂O as the base, a highly efficient, ligand-free intramolecular S-vinylation of thiols with vinyl chlorides or bromides was successfully implemented. Moreover, competition experiments revealed that the 4-exo cyclization is fundamentally preferred over other modes (5-exo, 6-exo, and 6-endo) of cyclization.

Starting from readily available o-mercaptoacylphenones, a mild S-nitrosation and a subsequent intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction lead to the construction of 3-substituted benzisothiazoles.

The reaction of o-haloaniline derivatives and carbon disulfide in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene at 80-140˚C provides the corresponding 1,3-benzothiazole-2(3H)-thione derivatives in good yields.

Sequential coupling-imination-annulation reactions of ortho-bromoarylaldehydes and terminal alkynes with ammonium acetate in the presence of a palladium catalyst under microwave irradiation gives various substituted isoquinolines, furopyridines, and thienopyridines in good yields.

A mild ICl-induced cyclization of heteroatom-substituted alkynones provides a simple, highly efficient approach to various 3-iodochromones, iodothiochromenones, iodoquinolinones and analogues in good to excellent yields. Subsequent palladium-catalyzed transformations afford a rapid increase in molecular complexity.

A three-component condensation gave 2-amino-4H-1,3-oxazines or 2-amino-4H-1,3-thiazines from alkynes, urea or thiourea, and aldehydes.
