    Abstract A novel gold‐catalyzed 6‐ exo ‐ dig cycloisomerization of o ‐propargylbiaryls has been developed that provides ready access to functionalized phenanthrenes in largely good to excellent yields. Notable features of this method are readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope.

    [reaction: see text] 1,6-Enynes and allyl propargyl ethers undergo a cobalt-catalyzed formal 5-endo-dig cyclization to form vinyl cyclopentenes and dihydrofurans, respectively. The use of equimolar amounts of dicobalt octacarbonyl and trimethyl phosphite affords optimum yields and improved selectivity for cycloisomerization vs alkene isomerization.

    Readily available o'-alkenyl-o-alkynylbiaryls, a particular type of 1,7-enynes, undergo a selective cycloisomerization reaction in the presence of a gold(I) catalyst to give interesting phenanthrene and dihydrophenanthrene derivatives in high yields. The solvent used provokes a switch in the evolution of the gold intermediate and plays a key role in the reaction outcome.

    Abstract Ruthenium‐catalyzed cycloisomerization of 2‐ethynylbiaryls was investigated to identify an optimal ruthenium catalyst system. A combination of [η 6 ‐( p ‐cymene)RuCl 2 (PR 3 )] and two equivalents of AgPF 6 effectively converted 2‐ethynylbiphenyls into phenanthrenes in chlorobenzene at 120 °C over 20 h. Moreover, 2‐ethynylheterobiaryls were found to be favorable substrates for this ruthenium catalysis, thus achieving the cycloisomerization of previously unused heterocyclic substrates. Moreover, several control experiments and DFT calculations of model complexes were performed to propose a plausible reaction mechanism.

    Abstract Ortho‐alkynyl biaryls react in the presence of catalytic amount of Brønsted acids to give phenanthrenes in high yields under mild conditions. The activity and selectivity of this transformation are governed by the substitution pattern of the diarylalkyne moiety. Selectivity shifts are observed between the carbophilic Lewis and Brønsted acid‐catalyzed cycloisomerization involving alkyne activation. magnified image
