The first [4 + 2] cyclizations of para-quinone methide derivatives with isocyanates have been established under the catalysis of Brønsted acids or Brønsted bases, which efficiently constructed benzoxazin-2-one frameworks in generally high yields (up to 95%). This reaction will not only enrich the research contents of para-quinone methide-involved cyclization reactions but also provide a useful method for constructing biologically important benzoxazin-2-one frameworks.

Herein, we evolve a base-promoted synthesis of 2-chromen-2-one and chromeno[2,3-]pyrrole scaffolds via (4 + 2) annulation of α-alkylidene succinimides with 2-hydroxyphenyl-substituted -quinone methides (-QMs). Extremely selective and switchable cyclizations were obtained by modifying the base. This metal-free protocol is highlighted by its mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope, and the viability of the existing protocol was additionally illustrated by gram-scale synthesis and further modification.

By using chiral isothiourea Lewis base catalysts a broad variety of differently substituted products could be obtained in yields of around 50 % over both steps with high levels of enantioselectivities, albeit low diastereoselectivities only.

Our research has led to the development of a divergent synthesis approach for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-benzo[]chromen-2-one 3 and fluorenone 9 derivatives using -alkynylarylketones as common precursors. The synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2-benzo[]chromen-2-ones 3 employed silver catalyzed ketonization to form polycarbonyl intermediates which underwent double intramolecular cyclization and decarboxylation to generate a lactone and a phenyl ring in a one-pot fashion. In addition, the same precursor could be used to prepare fluorenone derivatives 9 under acidic conditions.

A facile one-pot metal-free, base-mediated formal [3 + 2] and [4 + 2] dearomative -cycloaddition of -quinone methides (-QMs) with halo alcohols has been designed for the efficient construction of 2-oxa-spirocyclohexadienones in excellent yield under mild reaction conditions. The commercial availability of the bases, reagents, and convenient reaction procedure makes it an attractive method for -cyclization.

A sequential asymmetric conjugate addition/cyclisation of α-bromohydroxamates with -quinone methide derivatives has been developed, which provides enantioenriched 1,4-benzoxazepines in generally high yields (up to 95%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 97 : 3 er). This protocol not only offers a novel and straightforward strategy for constructing chiral 1,4-benzoxazepines, but also demonstrates the potential of α-bromohydroxamates as three-atom synthons in asymmetric cyclisation reactions.
