Herein, we present an interesting method for the construction of a benzene ring using propargylic alcohols and 1,3-dicarbonyls, which involves three new C-C bond formations via cascade alkylation, formylation, annulation, and aromatization to make substituted biaryls. This one-pot Brønsted acid-promoted protocol utilizes the unique reactivity of the acetal formed under the reaction conditions. Alkynyl methyl ketones could be employed instead of 1,3-dicarbonyls as they are converted to 1,3-dicarbonyls by hydration under the reaction conditions.

Axial chiral biaryl skeletons are widely found in biologically active molecules, catalysts and chiral functional materials. However, highly catalytic stereoselective synthesis of tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls remains a challenging task. In this paper, we describe an efficient approach for construction of axially tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling in the presence of a chiral monophosphate ligand developed by ourselves.

We present the serendipitous discovery of an unusual dimer formed from anthracene-derived polyarenes. Unlike the typical oxidative coupling of substituted aromatic scaffolds, the reaction yielded a dearomatized enone dimer as the sole product. This dearomatized motif, notably, does not undergo the commonly observed rearomatization, and no biaryl products were detected.

Article Synopsis
- This study presents a new method for upgrading natural asphalt into a catalyst through a process called metal-free sonobromination.
- The method involves creating a palladium complex on natural asphalt, which is then used as a recoverable catalyst in the Suzuki reaction for synthesizing biphenyl derivatives.
- The process is environmentally friendly, uses a green solvent, and showcases the potential for sustainable materials development from renewable resources.
Organocatalytic Enantioselective Arylation to Access Densely Aryl-Substituted P-Stereogenic Centers.

Although methods for synthesizing chiral phosphorus scaffolds are available, the potential of this molecular chirality remains largely unexplored. Herein, we present a remote desymmetrization of prochiral biaryl phosphine oxides through an organocatalytic asymmetric arylation. This metal-free approach enables the efficient synthesis of a wide range of densely functionalized P(V)-stereogenic compounds with good to excellent yields and satisfactory enantioselectivities.

Due to the importance of biaryls as natural products, drugs, agrochemicals, dyes, or organic electronic materials, a green alternative biaryl synthesis has been developed based on easy-to-prepare and cheap copper(I)-exchanged zeolite catalysts. Cu-USY proved to efficiently catalyze the direct homocoupling of either phenols or aryl boronic acids under simple and practical conditions. The Cu-USY-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling of phenols could conveniently be performed under air either in warm methanol or water with good to high yields.
