Article Abstract
Highly selective divergent oxidative dearomatization coupling reactions, in which the chemoselectivity is controlled by catalysts and bases, are reported herein. Three different kinds of polycyclic cyclohexadienones are produced from the same reactants (41 examples, 85-99% yield). Our method marks a novel copper- and palladium-catalyzed C-H oxidative dearomatization of phenolic derivatives.

Dearomative Addition-Hydrogen Autotransfer for Branch-Selective -Heteroaryl C-H Functionalization via Ruthenium-Catalyzed C-C Couplings of Diene Pronucleophiles.

A novel mechanism for -heteroaryl C-H functionalization via dearomative addition-hydrogen autotransfer is described. Upon exposure to the catalyst derived from RuHCl(CO)(PPh) and Xantphos, dienes - suffer hydroruthenation to form allylruthenium nucleophiles that engage in -heteroaryl addition-β-hydride elimination to furnish branched products of C-C coupling - and -. Oxidative cleavage of isoprene adducts , , , and followed by ruthenium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric ketone reduction provides enantiomerically enriched -heteroarylethyl alcohols - and, therefrom, -heteroarylethyl amines -.

Skeleton editing for heteroarenes, especially pyrazoles, is challenging and remains scarce because these non-strained aromatics exhibit inert reactivities, making them relatively inactive for performing a dearomatization/cleavage sequence. Here, we disclose a cycloaddition-induced scaffold hopping of 5-hydroxypyrazoles to access the pyrazolopyridopyridazin-6-one skeleton through a single-operation protocol. By converting a five-membered aza-arene into a five-unit spine of a 6/6 fused-bicyclic, this work unlocks a ring-opening reactivity of the pyrazole core that involves a formal C = N bond cleavage while retaining the highly reactive N-N bond in the resulting product.

A bioinspired alkylation dearomatization reaction was developed to construct the 5/6/6 fused-spiro tricyclic core framework and spiro-quaternary carbon chiral center. The usage of this approach for assembling these natural products of spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an octahydrospiro-[cyclohexan-1,5'-indene] core is demonstrated by the first asymmetric total synthesis of highly oxidized hyperbeanol A.

Due to its unique three-dimensional (3D) configuration and great application potential in medicinal chemistry and synthetic community, chemists have been pursuing concise and efficient methods to synthesize C3 spirocyclic indoline derivatives. In this work, a dearomatization-spirocyclization-nucleophilic addition tandem approach was developed to realize the synthesis of 2-phosphonylated C3 spirocyclic indolines with indolyl-ynones and phosphine oxides as reactants; mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and good yields are characteristics of this transformation.

We present a comprehensive account on the evolution of a synthetic platform for a subfamily of ent-pimaranes. For the most complex member, norflickinflimiod C, five distinct strategies relying on either cationic or radical polyene cyclizations to construct the requisite tricyclic carbon scaffold were explored. Insights from early and late stage oxidative and reductive dearomatization studies ultimately led to a mild, rhodium-catalyzed arene hydrogenation for the final synthetic route.
