In this manuscript, the first enantioselective dearomative Michael addition between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 2-nitrobenzofurans realized under N-heterocyclic carbene activation has been described. The reaction proceeds addition of homoenolate to Michael acceptors leading to the formation of biologically important heterocycles with high yields and stereoselectivities. Their functionalization potential has been confirmed in selected, diastereoselective transformations.

Creating artificial enzymes by the genetic incorporation of noncanonical amino acids with catalytic side chains would expand the enzyme chemistries that have not been discovered in nature. Here, we report the design of an artificial enzyme that uses -boronophenylalanine as the catalytic residue. The artificial enzyme catalyzes Michael-type Friedel-Crafts alkylation through covalent activation.

A highly enantioselective Pd/Bim-catalyzed dearomative Michael reaction applying polycyclic tropones as non-benzenoid aromatic Michael acceptors and arylboronic acids as aryl pronucleophiles has been developed. The bridged biaryls bearing central and axial chirality, including pentacyclic cyclohepta[]indoles and 6,7-dihydrodibenzo[,][7]annulen-5-ones, are generally generated in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities and can be readily transformed into useful derivatives.

Herein, we reveal an unprecedented domino annulation of -benzyl-acrylamides with 1,3-dicarbonyls for the assembly of fused tricyclic alkaloid frameworks incorporating a spirocycle via an alkylation/dearomative -annulation/Michael addition (desymmetrization) sequence. This conversion involves three carbon-carbon bond formations, generating four chiral carbons, including three quaternary carbon centers, in a single diastereomer in one pot under identical reaction conditions. The synthetic potential of this atom-economic method is illustrated by modifications of the functional groups present in the products obtained.

A base-assisted dearomative [2 + 1] spiroannulation of /-bromophenols with activated olefins (methylenemalonates) to construct various cyclopropyl spirocyclohexadienone skeletons is reported. Furthermore, several other halophenols (X = Cl, I) were also tolerated in this process. Control experiments reveal a dearomative Michael addition of phenols at their halogenated positions to methylenemalonates, followed by intramolecular radical-based S1 dehalogenative cyclopropanation.

Herein, an organocatalytic asymmetric dearomative spirocyclization/oxa-Michael addition sequence with a newly designed substrate having two naphthol motifs has been developed. The reaction proceeds through in situ chiral vinylidene -quinone methide (VQM) intermediate formation, dearomative spirocyclization of naphthol, and an oxa-Michael addition reaction. The densely functionalized tetralone products were formed in high yields with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
