Dearomatization is a fundamental chemical reaction that affords complex three-dimensional heterocyclic frameworks. We disclose the first organocatalytic dearomatization of 5-aminopyrazoles, which yields a range of structurally diversified C4-hydroxylated pyrazolines with yields of ≤95% in <1.5 h at room temperature. This catalytic process is achieved using -generated hypervalent iodine. The method also yields a spirolactone via an intramolecular dearomatization process. Furthermore, we demonstrate that substrate-directed reduction of the resulting iminopyrazoline leads to 4,5-difunctionalized pyrazoline as a single diastereomer. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through a dearomatized cationic intermediate.

Organocatalytic chemo- and enantioselective reactions of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles have been achieved for the first time. Via asymmetric allylic alkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates, organocatalytic enantioselective dearomatization of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles afforded an array of enantioenriched 3,3-disubstituted indolin-2-imines bearing a quaternary carbon stereocenter in 34-79% yields with 61-91% ee. With BocO as reaction partner, the organocatalytic enantioselective -acylation of 2-amino-3-subsituted indoles was established to furnish C-N axially chiral products in 22-98% yields with 73-92% ee.

An intramolecular organocatalytic cascade dearomatizing spirocycloaddition reaction of indole-ynone compounds containing -silyl-naphthol substituents has been developed with the use of a chiral bifunctional thiourea. This process was able to provide various structurally diverse polycyclic spiroindolines in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent stereoselectivities (>20:1 dr, up to 98% ee) involving the formation of carbonylvinylidene -quinone methide intermediates.

An organocatalytic enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-]indole-containing tetrasubstituted α-amino allenoates, exhibiting both axial and central chirality, has been accomplished via cascade dearomatization-cyclization reaction. The γ-addition to β,γ-alkynyl-α-imino esters provides a library of densely substituted highly enantioenriched allenes in high yields and excellent stereoselectivities. In addition, the scope of this methodology has been extended to tryptophol as well.

Herein, we report a catalytic dearomative spirocyclization reaction of new substrates having aryl/alkyl enone tethered α- and β-naphthols and a dearomatization reaction of in situ generated nitro-olefin-tethered α-naphthols. The spirocarbocycles were obtained in moderate to good yields with high diastereoselectivities. A preliminary catalytic asymmetric variant was reported.
