This report covers boron tribromide (BBr) mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones. The direct synthesis of spiro[5.5]dienones with a tri-substituted double bond is described for the first time in this paper. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields.

Ferric chloride mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones for the synthesis of new series of densely functionalized 3,3-spiroindanone derivatives has been reported. This study is the first to describe the regioselective synthesis of a five-membered ring from biaryl ynones. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) and with high stereoselectivities.

Spiro N-heterocycles, particularly aza-spiro piperidines, have shown significant promise in pharmaceutical applications due to their ability to enhance physicochemical properties. Despite their potential, the preparation of these complex structures poses significant challenges. To address this, we propose a one-pot dearomative spirocyclization reaction of ynamides.

Organic dyes are interesting building blocks for the preparation of organic semiconductors as they possess synthetic handles that can be used to functionalize them and, consequently, change their electronic properties. However, reactions to extend their π-conjugated framework through ring annulation have only been scarcely tested. Herein, we report the use of alkyne benzannulation on 2,8-dibromo-dibenzo[def,mno]chrysene (vat orange 3) and 2,9-dibromo-dibenzo[b,def]chrysene (vat orange 1) to extend the conjugation and reduce their bandgap.

An electrochemical cyclization/spirocyclization hydroarylation via reductive dearomatization of a series of nonactivated arenes including -substituted indoles, indole-3-carboxamide derivatives, and iodo-substituted benzamides is described. This protocol boasts high atom efficiency, broad substrate applicability, and excellent selectivity. Utilizing a simple undivided cell, various nonactivated arenes undergo cyclization/spirocyclization through the intramolecular addition of aryl radicals to an aromatic ring, yielding 50 indolines, spirocyclizative hydroarylation products, and phenanthridinones.

The sustainable construction of spirocyclic compounds is important to the scientific community and the pharmaceutical industries. Herein, we demonstrate a carbamoyl radical-initiated intramolecular dearomative spirocyclization to access the spiro-cyclohexadiene oxindoles under visible light irradiation, which constitutes the first example of accessing the I-substituted derivatives that facilitate diversified transformations. Additionally, the scalability, late-stage modification of drugs, and significant antitumor activity of the products demonstrate the novel spirocyclic synthesis platform for expediting drug development.
