The dearomative (4 + 3) cycloaddition reactions of 3-alkenylindoles with in situ-generated oxyallyl cations furnish cyclohepta[]indoles, functionality-rich frameworks found in many bioactive compounds, including all pentacyclic ambiguine alkaloids. The analogous reactions between oxyallyl cations and 3-alkenylpyrroles afford cyclohepta[]pyrroles. The cycloadducts are generally formed in good to high yields and diastereoselectivities and can be readily transformed into useful derivatives. Additionally, we report preliminary investigations into the enantioselective catalysis of the dearomative (4 + 3) cycloaddition using imidodiphosphorimidate catalysts.

Owning to the versatile nature in participation of Diels-Alder (D-A) reactions, the development of efficient approaches to generate active ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs) has gained much attention. However, a catalytic method involving coupling of two readily accessible components to construct o-QDMs is lacking. Herein, we describe a palladium carbene migratory insertion enabled dearomative C(sp)-H activation to form active o-QDM species through the cross-coupling of N-tosylhydrazones with aryl halides.

We report the dearomative transformation of pyridin-3-ols via oxidopyridinium (5 + 4) cycloaddition with -quinodimethanes, leading to 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1-2,6-methanobenzo[]azonin-12-ones. The chemoselective derivatization of the obtained cycloadduct was also investigated to demonstrate the synthetic potential of the obtained cycloadduct.

Genetically encodable photosensitizers allow the design of artificial photoenzymes to expand the scope of abiological reactions. Herein, we report the genetic incorporation of a thioxanthone-containing amino acid into a protein scaffold via an engineered pyrrolysyl-tRNA/pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase pair. The designer enzyme was engineered to catalyze a dearomative [2+2] cycloaddition reaction in high yields (up to>99 % yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 98 : 2 e.

Syzygioblanes A-C (-), isolated from the Indonesian traditional herbal medicine (), are meroterpenoids with a spiro ring formed through a [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the flavanone desmethoxymatteucinol with cyclic sesquiterpenoids. Our ongoing phytochemical investigation of resulted in the isolation of five additional spiro-meroterpenoids, syzygioblanes D-H (-), which are hybrids of the same flavanone with eudesmane/cadinane-type sesquiterpenoids. A possible biosynthetic pathway involves enzymatic dearomative hydroxylation of desmethoxymatteucinol followed by [4 + 2] cyclization of the resulting diene with a cyclic sesquiterpene containing an exocyclic methylene to form the unique spiro ring in the syzygioblane molecule.

A powerful EnT photocatalyst 4CzMeBN has been developed and utilized in the synthesis of cis-fused azetidines via dearomative [2+2] cycloaddition under visible light. The photocatalyst 4CzMeBN is a donor-acceptor cyanoarene and features high triplet state energy and long lifetime of triplet state, which would be an alternative to widely used EnT photocatalyst Ir[dF(CF)ppy](dtbbpy)PF. The photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition provides a facile method to synthesize valuable dihydroisoquinolone-fused azetidines with high efficiency.
