Herein, we describe a novel approach to the synthesis of benzocycloheptene derivatives via base-promoted (5 + 2) annulation between 2-(alkynylaryl)acetonitriles and arylalkynes. In this chemistry, 2-(alkynylaryl)acetonitriles are employed as a new C5 synthon to construct various benzocycloheptene(s) derivatives by building two C-C bonds in one single step. This method features excellent regioselectivity, the use of readily available starting materials, and good functional group tolerance. The practicality of the strategy was further demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis, late-stage functionalizations, and the post-modification of natural products such as probenecid and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol.

A base-promoted cascade 5- cyclization/carboxylation of -alkynylsulfamides with CO has been accomplished, furnishing a variety of benzosultam-containing acrylates in good yields by using CO as the carboxylic source. Notably, in the case of substrates bearing a TMS-alkyne motif, the -dicarboxylation products were generated unprecedentedly.

Herein, we evolve a base-promoted synthesis of 2-chromen-2-one and chromeno[2,3-]pyrrole scaffolds via (4 + 2) annulation of α-alkylidene succinimides with 2-hydroxyphenyl-substituted -quinone methides (-QMs). Extremely selective and switchable cyclizations were obtained by modifying the base. This metal-free protocol is highlighted by its mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope, and the viability of the existing protocol was additionally illustrated by gram-scale synthesis and further modification.

A protocol for selective and efficient synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical -terphenyls is presented among aryl acetylene and DMSO in the presence of KOH and methanol. In this reaction, two molecules of aryl acetylene contribute four carbons, and DMSO, as a dual carbon donor, provides two carbons to a new aromatic ring. This protocol can be tolerated for the electron-donating or disubstituted phenylacetylenes as well as the heterocyclic acetylene derivatives.
