We have developed an efficient and mild enantioselective palladium-catalyzed (5+3) cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes and oxidopyrylium ylides generated in situ from benzopyranones, in the presence of a chiral PHOX ligand. These reactions afford various highly functionalized bridged oxa-[3.3.1]carbocycles with three stereogenic centers that are challenging to synthesize, in moderate to good yields and enantioselectivities.

Herein, we report a mild, one-pot method for silver-catalyzed tandem cycloisomerization/[5 + 2] cycloaddition reactions between readily accessible cyclopropyl-tethered allenyl ketones and benzopyranone-derived oxidopyrylium ylides. The reactions proceed a cyclobutene-fused furan intermediate generated by a cycloisomerization/1,2-carbene transfer/ring-expansion cascade. This method, which features an unprecedented formal [5 + 2] cycloaddition, delivers good to excellent yields of structurally complex bibridged benzocycloheptanones bearing a strained cyclobutane ring and an -bridged ring.

We describe a novel type of photoclick reaction between 2,3-diaryl indenone epoxide (DIO) and ring-strained dipolarophiles, in which DIO serves as a P-type photoswitch to produce mesoionic oxidopyrylium ylide (PY) to initiate an ultra-fast [5+2] cycloaddition (k =1.9×10 M s ). The photoisomerization between DIO and PY can be tightly controlled by either 365 or 520 nm photo-stimulation, which allows reversion or regeneration of the reactive PY dipole on demand.

The first total synthesis of (±)-jujuyane, a cyclooctanoid natural product, was accomplished from a (5 + 3) dimerization product of oxidopyrylium ylide that forms the cyclooctanoid core structure along with inherited stereochemical bias. Selective functional group modifications of the highly oxygenated dimeric structure, followed by the tactical functional group manipulation around the eight-membered carbocyclic core, enabled the total synthesis of (±)-jujuyane, which will serve a guide for future applications of oxidopyrylium dimers to the natural product total synthesis.

We have the investigated base mediated asymmetric intramolecular oxidopyrylium-alkene [5 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction which resulted in the synthesis of functionalized tricyclic ring systems containing an 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core.
