The use of Cinchona alkaloid-based chiral ammonium ylides allows for the first highly enantioselective and broadly applicable spirocyclopropanation reactions of para-quinone methides. This strategy provides a straightforward protocol toward the chiral spiro[2.5]octa-4,7-dien-6-one skeleton, which is a frequently found structural motif in important biologically active molecules.

Axially chiral -VQMs have been extensively investigated as key intermediates to approach miscellaneous chiral structures. By sharp contrast, their structural isomers -VQMs have not been previously documented. The major reason, which results in the significant delay, may ascribe to the inherent challenges in the enantioselective activation of alkynes in a remote manner.

We present a method for synthesizing -benzyl pyridones from -quinone methides (-QMs) and 2- or 4-hydroxy pyridines in the presence of a base at room temperature. The reaction proceeds through 1,6-Michael addition reaction. Simple operation, good to excellent yields, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance are the salient features of the developed methodology.

A series of -quinone methide derivatives were evaluated their anti-inflammatory activity. Through the screening of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory cell model in Raw264.7 cells, it was found that the inhibitory activity of -substituted derivatives on NO production was superior to that of - and -substituted derivatives.

Sulfonylhydrazones have been proven to be versatile synthetic intermediates in a panel of transformations. However, radical sulfonylation with sulfonylhydrazone as sulfonyl radical source is relatively rare. Here, we found that sulfonylhydrazone can serve as a new sulfonyl radical precursor to couple various partners such as arylacetic acids, ene-yne-ketones, and -quinone methides under copper catalysis and microwave irradiation.
