The gold-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 3-benzo[]isoindoles () from a mixture of isoxazole () and diynamides () is described. This tandem catalysis involves two separate steps: (i) initial synthesis of 2-(3-pyrrolyl)-1-alkynylbenzenes and (ii) a novel alkyne/pyrrole coupling reaction through pyrrole dearomatization. Our control experiments reveal the cooperative action of the gold catalyst and isoxazole cocatalyst to enable the novel alkyne/pyrrole coupling leading to a 1,2-acyl shift.

A visible-light-induced cascade radical trifluoromethylation/cyclization/dearomatization reaction between isocyanide-containing indoles and CFBr has been developed to afford trifluoromethylated spiro[indole-3,3-quinoline] and spiro [indole-3,3-pyrrole] derivatives in good yields. The utility of the process is demonstrated by a scale-up experiment. The mechanism was proposed based on the control experiments.

Heterocycle skeletal editing has recently emerged as a powerful tactic for achieving heterocycle-to-heterocycle transmutation without the need for multistep de novo heterocycle synthesis. However, the enantioselective skeletal editing of heteroarenes through single-atom logic remains challenging. Here we report the enantiodivergent dearomative skeletal editing of indoles and pyrroles via an asymmetric carbon-atom insertion, using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors.

Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization represents a powerful means to convert flat aromatic compounds into stereochemically well-defined three-dimensional molecular scaffolds. Using new-to-nature metalloredox biocatalysis, we describe an enzymatic strategy for catalytic asymmetric dearomatization via a challenging radical mechanism that has eluded small-molecule catalysts. Enabled by directed evolution, new-to-nature radical dearomatases P450-P450 facilitated asymmetric dearomatization of a broad spectrum of aromatic substrates, including indoles, pyrroles and phenols, allowing both enantioconvergent and enantiodivergent radical dearomatization reactions to be accomplished with excellent enzymatic control.

Dearomative 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of 1-Boc-pyrroles with generated silver α-bromo alkylidenenitronates delivered a series of 3,6-dihydro-4-Boc-pyrrolo[2,3-]isoxazole-2-oxides (17-91% yields) under very mild conditions. -Deoxygenation of the cycloaddition product gave a dihydro-pyrrolo[2,3-]isoxazole, elaborations of which produced various functionalized 2,3-dihydropyrroles and pyrrolidines, showcasing the potential utilities of our new strategy of pyrrole dearomatization.
