Abstract
Heterocyclic substrates containing a conjugated alkyne and a pendant nitrile were shown to cyclize in an overall tetradehydro-Diels-Alder reaction to give products in which the initial heterocycle bears a newly fused pyridine ring. Base-promoted tautomerization of the alkyne to its isomeric allene allows this process to occur at ambient temperature. DFT studies support many of the mechanistic interpretations of the overall results.

Abstract
The Banert cascade is an efficient synthetic strategy for obtaining 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The reaction can proceed via a sigmatropic or prototropic mechanism depending on the substrate and the conditions. In this work, the mechanisms of both pathways from propargylic azides with different electronic features were investigated using density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and natural bond orbital approaches. The calculated energy barriers were consistent with the experimental data. Three patterns of electron density distribution on the transition structures were observed, which reflected the behaviors of the reactants in the Banert cascade. The stronger conjugative effects were associated with lower/higher free activation energies of sigmatropic/prototropic reactions, respectively. A clear relationship between the accumulation of the charge at the C3 atom of propargylic azides with the energy barriers for prototropic reactions was found. Thus, the obtained results would allow the prediction of the reaction's course by evaluating reactants.

Abstract
Intramolecular cyclization reactions of arylpropargyl amides of electron-deficient α,β-alkenyl carboxylates such as fumarates and ethenetricarboxylates were investigated. The reaction of the fumaramides with a base, Et3N or DBU in xylenes at 140 °C under air gave benz[f]isoindoline derivatives in 21-63% yields. The benz[f]isoindolines may be produced via the formation of an allenic intermediate, intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, proton transfer, and dehydrogenation by oxygen. The suitable bases and the product yields depend on the substituents on the benzene ring. On the other hand, the reaction of the amides of fumarate and ethenetricarboxylate by heating in DMSO gave aroyl-substituted pyrrolidine derivatives as major products, probably via addition of water under metal-free conditions. Furthermore, cyclization reactions of H and Me substituted alkyne derivatives were investigated for comparison. The selective formation of various types of products, such as ethyl 2-(1-benzyl-4-formyl-2-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl)acetate and diethyl 2-(1-benzyl-2-oxo-4-vinylidenepyrrolidin-3-yl)malonate, was found, depending upon the alkyne substituents and the reaction conditions. The reaction mechanisms have been discussed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
We have explored the net-[4 + 2]-cycloadditions of a variety of aryl (or alkenyl) alkynes. Tautomerization via base-catalyzed alkyne-to-allene isomerization produces a transient allene, which undergoes stepwise cyclization with not only a pendant alkyne but also a nitrile. The operative mechanisms for these reactions were studied by density functional theory and compared with the slower thermal cyclization of the precursor alkyne.

Abstract
The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of substituted polycyclic arenes with various topologies is in high demand due to their excellent electrical and optical properties. In this work, a series of gem-dimethylcyclopentane-fused arenes with more than ten topologies were synthesized via a 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD)-mediated dehydro-Diels-Alder reaction with moderate to good yields. The introduction of the near-planar gem-dimethylcyclopentane moiety not only impacts the molecular conjugative system but also regulates the intermolecular π-π interactions and crystal packing, which are critical for the photoelectric performance of arenes. The photophysical properties, molecular geometry, molecular packing of these compounds, and electrochemical properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence emission spectra, DFT calculations, single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, and cyclic voltammetry study.

Abstract
The critical role of double hydrogen bonds was addressed for the aerobic α-hydroxylation of ketones catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), in the absence of either a metal catalyst or phosphine reductant. Experimental and theoretical investigations were performed to study the mechanism. In addition to initiating the reaction by proton abstraction, a more important role of TBD was revealed, that is, to enhance the oxidizing ability of peroxide intermediates, allowing DMSO to be used rather than commonly used phosphine reductants. Further characterizations with nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) confirmed the presence of double hydrogen bonds between TBD and the ketone, and kinetic studies suggested the attack of dioxygen on the TBD-enol adduct to be the rate-determining step. This work should encourage the application of TBD as a catalyst for oxidations.

Abstract
Here we disclose a cascade strategy for naphthyne formation that capitalizes on the traditional benzyne generation (i.e., from an ortho-silyl aryl triflate) and the thermal hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction. In this transformation, three distinct aryne species work in tandem, two of which can be formally considered as a 1,2-benzidyne, and each undergoes a different type of trapping event. Many examples were explored by varying the naphthyne capture chemistry as well as the 1,2-benzdiyne equivalent. This strategy enables rapid construction of various naphthalene products and has potential for the synthesis of extended polycyclic arenes.
