RESUMO
Herein, we report an efficient and easily operable method to halohydroxylate pyridiniums through an interrupted dearomative reduction strategy. In this process, we make the most of the halide anion from the pyridinium salts by performing the reaction in DMSO without the need of external HX added. Notably, by changing the solvents from DMSO into Et2O, the bimolecular C3-C2 coupling occurs successfully.
RESUMO
We report an efficient alkyl transfer strategy for the direct ß-alkylation of chalcones using commercially available alkyl bromides as alkyl reagents. In this transformation, the ortho-phosphanyl substituent in the chalcones is crucial for controlling their reactivity and selectivity. It also serves as a reliable alkyl transfer shuttle to transform electrophilic alkyl bromides into nucleophilic alkyl species in the form of quaternary phosphonium salts and transfer the alkyl group effectively to the ß-position of the chalcones. This alkyl transfer strategy can be further extended to the alkenylation of ortho-phosphanyl benzaldehydes to assemble functionalized polyenes.

We report an unexpected dearomative periphery modification strategy for transforming quinolinium salts into structurally crowded pyrrolidine-tetrahydroquinoline polycyclic systems with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. Importantly, the reaction pathway was regulated by simply tuning the substituents, achieving substituent-directed divergent synthesis. The notable features of this transformation include readily available starting materials, green conditions, a simple workup procedure, high bond- and ring-forming efficiency, and substituent-directed diverse synthesis.

A highly diastereoselective dearomative trifunctionalization of pyridinium salts with multifunctional o-hydroxyl aromatic azomethine ylides has been established, which not only provided a convenient and rapid method to assemble challenging and architecturally crowded chroman-pyrrolidine-hydrogenated pyridine fused pentacycles, but also represented a rare successful example of the higher-order multifunctionalization of pyridiniums.
RESUMO
An unexpected cleavage of the Csp3-CF3 bond of CF3-hydrobenzoxazoles has been disclosed, affording a range of 2-aryl benzoxazoles under metal-free and redox-neutral conditions. This transformation has demonstrated broad substrate scope and good compatibility of functional groups. 2-Aryl benzothiazole and 2-aryl benzoimidazole could be smoothly assembled in the same manner. On the basis of preliminary mechanistic studies, base initiated and aromatization driven ß-carbon elimination was considered to be the key step for the formation of 2. This reaction offers an alternative, facile, and sustainable route to access important 2-aryl benzoxazole motifs.

Bridged polycycles are privileged molecular skeletons with wide occurrence in bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Therefore, they have been the pursing target molecules of numerous chemists. The rapid and convenient generation of sp3-rich complex three-dimensional molecular skeletons from simple and easily available aromatics has made dearomatization a highly valuable synthetic tool for the construction of rigid and challenging bridged rings. This review summarizes the-state-of-the-art advances of dearomatization strategies in the application of bridged ring formation, discusses their advantages and limitations and the in-depth mechanism, and highlights their synthetic value in the total synthesis of natural products. We wish this review will provide an important reference for medicinal and synthetic chemists and will inspire further development in this intriguing research area.

Reported herein is an unexpected construction of functionalized π-extended indolizine polycycles through a one-pot two-step cascade process comprising the base-promoted dearomative [3+2] cycloaddition of quinilinium salts and 3-alkenyl oxindoles, followed by a DDQ-mediated oxidative decarbonylation. Moreover, we could achieve the substrate-controlled diverse synthesis of structurally strained cyclopropane spirooxindole by using pyridinium salts as starting materials.
RESUMO
Reported herein is an unprecedented multicomponent one-pot dearomative multifunctionalization of commercially available azaarenes through an in situ activation strategy, which not only achieved the first full exploitation of the reactive sites of the azaarenes, but also accomplished the efficient synthesis of bridged hydrogenated pyridines and (iso)quinolines in a highly regioselective and diastereoselective manner. In addition, we could successfully realize the step-controlled dearomative trifunctionalization and bifunctionalization of quinolines.
RESUMO
New chalcone-based pyridinium salts have been successfully exploited, which could smoothly participate in the highly diastereoselective dearomatization with binucleophilic enaminones by taking advantage of their multiple reactive sites to construct bibridged benzoazepines in up to 89% yields. The key to the success was the skillful and unprecedented C-3 functionalization of the new pyridinium salts. This work not only provides a kind of novel pyridinium salt synthon but also achieves the first C-3 functionalization of pyridinium salts to construct complex and challenging bibridged benzoazepines with high synthetic efficiency.
RESUMO
An unexpected Michael addition-inspired ring-opening/closure cascade reaction of 3-hydroxyoxindoles with coumarin-3-carboxylates was developed to access new dihydrobenzofuran or dihydrobenzothiophene spirooxindoles in 68-98% yields. This reaction not only provides an expedient and convenient method to assemble dihydrobenzofuran spirooxindoles, but also establishes a new reaction mode of coumarin-3-carboxylates. Moreover, it represents the first example of 3-hydroxyoxindoles serving as a C1 synthon possessing dual nucleophilic and electrophilic character with the hydroxyl group as a leaving group. Importantly, this methodology provides a rapid and robust approach to XEN907 analogues.

RESUMO
An unprecedented base-promoted multi-component one-pot dearomatization of N-alkyl activated azaarenes was developed, which enabled the synthesis of complex and diverse bridged cyclic polycycles with multiple stereocenters in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner. Besides, we realized the step-controlled dearomative bi- and trifunctionalization of quinolinium salts. These transformations not only achieved the maximization of the reaction sites of pyridinium, quinolinium and isoquinolinium salts to enhance structural complexity and diversity, but also opened up a new reaction mode of these N-activated azaarenes. A unique feature of this strategy is the use of easily accessible and bench-stable N-alkyl activated azaarenes to provide maximum reactive sites for dearomative cascade cyclizations. In addition, the salient characteristics including high synthetic efficiency, short reaction time, mild conditions and simple operation made this strategy particularly attractive.
