A dearomative allylation of naphthyl cyanohydrins with allyl borates and allyl stannanes under palladium catalysis was developed. At the initial stage of this study, the dearomative reaction (C4 substitution of the aromatics) was competing with benzyl substitution. To circumvent this issue, the use of palladium and -disubstituted triarylphosphine as the catalyst in a 1:1 ratio was found to enhance the site selectivity, furnishing the desired dearomatized products. Further derivatizations of products were also successful.

Iridium-catalyzed dearomative allylation/acyl transfer rearrangement has been developed using easily available 2-pyridinyl benzoates and vinyl ethylene carbonate. This protocol enabled the expedient synthesis of a variety of chiral -substituted 2-pyridones in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivity. It has the advantages of high atom economy, wide substrate scope, gram-scale synthesis, and versatile synthetic transformations.

The skeletal editing of azaarenes through insertion, deletion, or swapping of single atoms has recently gained considerable momentum in chemical synthesis. Here, we describe a practical skeletal editing strategy using vinylcarbenes in situ generated from trifluoromethyl vinyl N-triftosylhydrazones, leading to the first dearomative skeletal editing of pyrroles through carbon-atom insertion. Furthermore, depending on the used catalyst and substrate, three types of peripheral editing reactions of pyrroles are also disclosed: α- or γ-selective C-H insertion, and [3+2] cycloaddition.

The aromatic Cope rearrangement is an elusive transformation that has been the subject of a limited number of investigations compared to those seemingly close analogues, namely the Cope and aromatic Claisen rearrangement. Herein we report our investigations inspired by moderate success observed in the course of pioneering works. By careful experimental and theoretical investigations, we demonstrate that key substitutions on 1,5-hexadiene scaffold allow fruitful transformations.

Traditional palladium-catalyzed dearomatization of (hetero)arenes takes place via an ionic pathway and usually requires elevated temperatures to overcome the energy barrier of the dearomative insertion step. Herein, a combination of the radical and two-electron pathways is disclosed, which enables room temperature dearomative 3D transformations of nonactivated phenyl rings with Pd(0) as the catalyst. Experimental results together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate a versatile π-allyl Pd(II) species, cyclohexadienyl Pd(II), possibly is involved in the dearomatization.

Sulfones are fascinating and highly used functional groups, but current syntheses still have limitations. Here, a regiodivergent transition metal-free approach towards sulfones [()-allylic sulfones and α-sulfonyl-methyl styrenes] is reported. The method employs commercially available olefins, bases, additives, solvents, and sodium sulfinates (RSONa) and produces adducts in good yields.
