A dearomatization strategy has been developed for the efficient construction of vertically expanded five-ring fused benzofurans from ortho-alkynylphenols and ortho-alkynylarylaldimines. The stepwise procedure comprises a dearomatization-induced silver-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition followed by an aromatization-triggered ytterbium-catalyzed rearrangement.

A method for stereoselective construction of acyclic all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes through insertion of nitrile-substituted trimethylenemethane into the aryl C-N bond in anilines via an aromaticity destruction-reconstruction process is reported. The process involves dearomatization, azo-[3 + 2] TMM cycloaddition and aromatization-triggered rearrangement.
