The first chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed cycloaddition-elimination cascade reaction of 2-naphthol- and phenol-derived enecarbamates with azonaphthalenes has been established, providing a highly atroposelective route to an array of axially chiral aryl-C3-benzoindoles in excellent yields with excellent enantioselectivities. The success of this strategy derives from the stepwise process involving CPA-catalyzed asymmetric formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent central-to-axial chirality conversion by elimination of a carbamate. In addition, the practicality of this reaction had been verified by varieties of transformations towards functionalized atropisomers.

A facile and convenient protocol for the regioselective construction of functionalized 2-hydroxybenzophenones is described. This protocol involves the Sc(OTf)/BF·OEt-catalyzed benzannulation of 2-vinyloxirans with 3-formylchromone, which involves cascade in situ diene formation, [4 + 2] cycloaddition, elimination, and ring-opening strategies. Moreover, it provides an expedited synthetic pathway to access biologically intriguing 1,4-naphthoquinones and anthraquinones including vitamin K3 and tectoquinone.

A three-component synthesis of novel spirooxindole-tetrahydropyrrolizines from secondary α-aminoacids, isatins and vinyl selenones has been disclosed. Products were formed in good yields and high diastereoselectivity by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of in situ generated azomethine ylides followed by spontaneous elimination of benzeneseleninic acid. Good regioselectivities with aryl substituted vinyl selenones were observed.

A simple and efficient base-promoted denitrogenative/deoxygenative/deformylative benzannulation is developed for the construction of biologically interesting polyfunctionalized xanthones starting from N-tosylhydrazones and two molecules of 3-formylchromones. This unprecedented protocol proceeds via a cascade diazo formation/Michael addition/denitrogenation/[4 + 2] cycloaddition/elimination/ring opening. The synthesized xanthones possess potent UV-filter, fluorescent sensor, and antioxidant properties.

A convergent coupling reaction is described that enables the stereoselective construction of angularly substituted trans-fused decalins from acyclic precursors. The process builds on our alkoxide-directed titanium-mediated alkyne-alkyne coupling and employs a 1,7-enyne coupling partner. Overall, the reaction is thought to proceed through initial formation of a tetrasusbstituted metallacyclopentadiene, stereoselective intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition, elimination, isomerization, and regio- and stereoselective protonation.
