Abstract
Mild, metal-free, and operationally simple three-component coupling reactions involving arynes, phosphites, and acrylates have been achieved. The reaction proceeded well with α- or β-substituted acrylates. Additionally, various functional groups were tolerated under these reaction conditions, resulting in diverse ortho-3-propanoate-substituted aryl phosphonates. Moreover, the reaction can be used to synthesize a range of organophosphorus compounds present in natural products, materials, and biologically active compounds.

Abstract
We report here on the facile synthesis of amino- and alkoxy-λ3-iodanes supported by a benziodoxole (BX) template and their use as arynophiles. The amino- and alkoxy-BX derivatives can be readily synthesized by reacting the respective amines or alcohols with chlorobenziodoxole in the presence of a suitable base. Unlike previously known nitrogen- and oxygen-bound iodane compounds, which have primarily been employed as electrophilic group transfer agents or oxidants, the present amino- and alkoxy-BX reagents manifest themselves as nucleophilic amino and alkoxy transfer agents toward arynes. This reactivity leads to the aryne insertion into the N-I(III) or O-I(III) bond to afford ortho-amino- and ortho-alkoxy-arylbenziodoxoles, iodane compounds nontrivial to procure by existing methods. The BX group in these insertion products exhibits excellent leaving group ability, enabling diverse downstream transformations.

Abstract
We report the strain-induced [2 + 2] cycloadditions of cyclic allenes for the assembly of highly substituted cyclobutanes. By judicious choice of trapping agent, complex scaffolds bearing heteroatoms, fused rings, contiguous stereocenters, spirocycles, and quaternary centers are ultimately accessible. Moreover, we show that the resulting cycloadducts can undergo thermal isomerization. This study provides an alternative strategy to photochemical [2 + 2] cycloadditions for accessing highly functionalized cyclobutanes, while validating the use of underexplored strained intermediates for the assembly of complex architectures.

Abstract
A detailed computational mechanistic study of the copper-catalysed three-component-type electrophilic carboamination of terminal alkynes with benzyne and an archetypal O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophile is presented. Probing various plausible pathways for relevant elementary steps and scrutinising performance degradation pathways, with the aid of a reliable computational protocol applied to a realistic catalyst model combined with kinetic analysis, identified the pathways preferably traversed in productive catalysis. It entails rapid alkynylcupration of in situ generated benzyne to deliver the arylcopper nucleophile that undergoes amination with the O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophile to afford copper benzoate. Umpolung-enabled electrophilic amination favours a multistep SN2-type oxidative addition/N-C bond-forming reductive elimination sequence involving a short-lived formal {P^P}CuIII carboxylate amido aryl intermediate. SN2-type displacement of the benzoate leaving group at the arylcopper nucleophile, which represents the catalyst resting state, is predicted to be the turnover limiting step. Alkynolysis transforms copper benzoate back to catalytically competent alkynylcopper. The computational probe of a wider range of substrates reveals that only severely ring-strained C6-arynes, C6-cycloalkynes and electron-deficient cyclopropenes featuring a highly reactive C≡C linkage could replace benzyne. Moreover, strict control of stationary benzyne concentration is indispensable for electrophilic carboamination to ever become achievable.

Abstract
The reaction of 3-halo-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazine N-oxides with arynes was studied. Arynes were generated from o-silylaryl triflates and underwent consecutive [3 + 2]-cycloaddition/[4 + 2]-cycloreversion with N-oxides leading to substituted 3-vinyl-benzisoxazoles in high yields. In the presented sequence, 1,2-oxazine N-oxides act as surrogates of rarely employed unsaturated nitrile oxides. A broad substrate scope was demonstrated. The influence of the substitution pattern of an aryne on the reaction outcome was determined. In the presence of bulky substituents, polycyclic 4,4a-dihydro-3H-benzofuro[3,2-c][1,2]oxazines were selectively formed. Mechanistic schemes for the observed reaction pathways were proposed. The synthetic utility of the products was demonstrated by their follow-up modifications.

Abstract
Despite growing interest in 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) as an integral component of many functional molecules, methods for the functionalization of its benzenoid ring have remained limited, and many even simply decorated BTDs have required de novo synthesis. We show that regioselective Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation allows access to versatile 5-boryl or 4,6-diboryl BTD building blocks, which undergo functionalization at the C4, C5, C6, and C7 positions. The optimization and regioselectivity of C-H borylation are discussed. A broad reaction scope is presented, encompassing ipso substitution at the C-B bond, the first examples of ortho-directed C-H functionalization of BTD, ring closing reactions to generate fused ring systems, as well as the generation and capture reactions of novel BTD-based heteroarynes. The regioselectivity of the latter is discussed with reference to the Aryne Distortion Model.

Abstract
An unprecedented silver-mediated intramolecular oxy-argentation of 3-amidoaryne precursors that quickly generates a heteroarylsilver species is developed. AgF acts as both a stoichiometric fluoride source and a reagent for the formation of a benzoxazolylsilver intermediate via aryne generation. Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions of (hetero)aryl iodides with a silver species, generated in situ, allow for the synthesis of various C7-arylated benzoxazoles. As a result, an aryl group is selectively introduced into the meta-position of 3-amidobenzyne precursors. Mechanistic studies have indicated the presence of a benzoxazolylsilver intermediate and revealed that the reaction proceeds via an intramolecular oxy-argentation process, which is initiated by a direct fluoride attack on the silyl group.

Abstract
Skeletal editing is a straightforward synthetic strategy for precise substitution or rearrangement of atoms in core ring structures of complex molecules; it enables quick diversification of compounds that is not possible by applying peripheral editing strategies. Previously reported skeletal editing of common arenes mainly relies on carbene- or nitrene-type insertion reactions or rearrangements. Although powerful, efficient and applicable to late-stage heteroarene core structure modification, these strategies cannot be used for skeletal editing of pyridines. Here we report the direct skeletal editing of pyridines through atom-pair swap from CN to CC to generate benzenes and naphthalenes in a modular fashion. Specifically, we use sequential dearomatization, cycloaddition and rearomatizing retrocycloaddition reactions in a one-pot sequence to transform the parent pyridines into benzenes and naphthalenes bearing diversified substituents at specific sites, as defined by the cycloaddition reaction components. Applications to late-stage skeletal diversification of pyridine cores in several drugs are demonstrated.

Abstract
A method for generation of SVI sulfones from β-sulfinyl esters (SIV) under transition-metal-free non-oxidative mild conditions is presented. Various sulfones have been achieved with moderate to excellent yields. The advantage of using β-sulfinyl esters as masked aryl sulfinates has also been exemplified using brominated substrates. Oxygen isotope-labeling experiments indicated that the oxygen atoms incorporated into the sulfone product come from the sulfoxide of the β-sulfinyl ester. Successive β-elimination/O-addition/sulfinate esterification/β-elimination processes are proposed for the mechanism of generating SVI from SIV.

Abstract
CONTEXT The combined use of transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation with aryne annulation reactions has emerged as an important strategy in organic synthesis. In this study, the mechanisms of the palladium(II)-catalyzed annulation reaction of N-methoxy amides and arynes were computationally investigated by density functional theory. The role of methoxy amide as a directing group was elucidated through the calculation of three different pathways for the C-H activation step, showing that the pathway where amide nitrogen acts as a directing group is preferable. At the reductive elimination transition state, an unstable seven-membered ring is formed preventing the lactam formation. A substituent effect study based on an NBO analysis, Hammet, and using a More O'Ferall-Jenks plot indicates that the C-H activation step proceeds via an electrophilic concerted metalation-deprotonation (eCMD) mechanism. The results show that electron-withdrawing groups increase the activation barrier and contribute to an early Pd-C bond formation and a late C-H bond breaking when compared with electron-donating substituents. Our computational results are in agreement with the experimental data provided in the literature. METHODS All calculations were performed using Gaussian 16 software. Geometry optimizations, frequency analyses at 393.15 K, and IRC calculations were conducted at the M06L/Def2-SVP level of theory. Corrected electronic energies, NBO charges, and Wiberg bond indexes were computed at the M06L/Def2-TZVP//M06L/Def2-SVP level of theory. Implicit solvent effects were considered in all calculations using the SMD model, with acetonitrile employed as the solvent.

Abstract
Arynes are known to serve as highly reactive benzene-based synthons, which have gained numerous successes in preparing functionalized arenes. Due to the superb electrophilic nature of these fleeting species, however, it is challenging to modulate the designated aryne transformation chemoselectively, when substrates possess multiple competing reaction sites. Here, we showcase our effort to manipulate chemoselective control between two major types of aryne transformations using either 3-methoxybenzyne or 3-silylbenzyne, where nucleophilic addition-triggered reactions and non-polar pericyclic reactions could be differentiated. This orthogonal chemoselective protocol is found to be applicable between various nucleophiles, i.e., imidazole, N-tosylated/N-alkyl aniline, phenol, and alcohol, and an array of pericyclic reaction partners, i.e., furan, cyclopentadiene, pyrrole, cycloheptatrienone, and cyclohexene. Beyond arylation reactions, C-N bond insertion, Truce-Smiles rearrangement, and nucleophilic annulation are appropriate reaction modes as well. Moreover, this chemoselective protocol can find potential synthetic application.

Abstract
The first systematic exploration of the synthesis and reactivity of naphthoquinonynes is described. Routes to two regioisomeric Kobayashi-type naphthoquinonyne precursors have been developed, and the reactivity of the ensuing 6,7- and 5,6-aryne intermediates has been investigated. Remarkably, these studies have revealed that a broad range of cycloadditions, nucleophile additions and difunctionalizations can be achieved while maintaining the integrity of the highly sensitive quinone unit. The methodologies offer a powerful diversity oriented approach to C6 and C7 functionalized naphthoquinones, which are typically challenging to access. From a reactivity viewpoint, the study is significant because it demonstrates that aryne-based functionalizations can be utilized strategically in the presence of highly reactive and directly competing functionality.

Abstract
Reactions allowing chemodivergence prove to be attractive strategies in synthetic organic chemistry. We herein described a highly practical, transition-metal-free, highly regioselective and chemodivergent cascade reaction controlled by fluorine sources, which involved a [3 + 2] cycloaddition or C-arylation process between aryne precursors and 3-aminomaleimides. These two pathways led to a wide scope of structurally diverse pyrrolo[3,4-b]indoles (19 examples) and 3-arylated maleimides (25 examples) in good-to-excellent yields. Furthermore, the reaction could be scaled up, and several synthetic transformations were accomplished for the preparation of functionalized molecules and might provide new opportunities for the discovery of N-heterocyclic drugs.

Abstract
We describe a transition metal-free approach to hindered 3-amino-2-aryl phenols through a cascade nucleophilic addition / Smiles-Truce rearrangement of a functionalized Kobayashi aryne precursor. Under anionic conditions, secondary alkyl amines add to the aryne intermediate to set up an aryl transfer from a neighboring sulfonate group. The use of a sulfonate, rather than the more typical sulfonamide, enables access to phenolic biaryl products that are important motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Aryl amines are highly useful organic chemicals, but large-scale, transition-metal-free syntheses of aryl amines are surprisingly underdeveloped. A mild and scalable (up to 500 mmol) aryl amine synthesis from benzyne chemistry was invented using easily accessible aryl chlorides as precursors, NaH as a stoichiometric base, and a new type of sodium alkoxide cluster, X@RONa, as a catalyst. The cluster catalyst X@RONa featured an externally hydrophobic dodecameric sodium alkoxide shell housing an encapsulated center anion. The cluster made from methoxy-tert-butanol was found to be the most effective. The intramolecular version of this reaction allowed the synthesis of indolines and indoles. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies revealed that the rate-determining step was likely the transport of solid NaH into the X@RONa cluster in the organic phase.

Abstract
Arynes are fleeting, high-energy intermediates that undergo myriad trapping reactions by nucleophiles. Their unusual reactivity compared to other electrophiles can spur unexpected mechanistic pathways enroute to the formation of benzenoid products. Herein we explore a particularly unique case of thermally generated arynes reacting with phosphoranes to form helical dibenzothiophenes and -selenophenes. Multiple new helical polycyclic aromatic products are reported. DP4+ and X-ray crystallographic analysis were used in tandem to confirm the structural topologies of selected products and to demonstrate the utility of DP4+ for distinguishing between isomeric polycyclic aromatic compounds. Lastly, we discuss a plausible mechanism consistent with DFT computations that accounts for the product formation; namely, ligand coupling (i.e., reductive elimination) within a hypervalent, pentacarbon-ligated σ-phosphorane furnishes the dibenzothio- or dibenzoselenophene.

Abstract
In this report, we describe the multicomponent coupling reaction between arynes, (pseudo)halides, and an electrophilic chalcogen species. Addition of a copper salt enabled smooth conversion by suppressing side reactions. A variety of different aryne precursors as well as seleno- and thiosulfonates were employed, yielding a broad spectrum of ortho-(pseudo)halogenated chalcogenides. This motif was subjected to different cross-coupling approaches, demonstrating the applicability of these compounds as building blocks for more complex structures.

Abstract
Here, we report a strain-promoted cascade reaction that proceeds via multiple strained intermediates, ultimately driven by the high potential energy inherent in alkyne triple bonds (C≡C). More specifically, four alkynes (three from an HDDA benzyne precursor and the fourth from a conjugated enyne reaction partner) are transformed into eight of the skeletal carbons in the benzocyclohexadienone products. The reaction pathway proceeds sequentially via strained benzyne, benzocyclobutene, and cyclic allene intermediates. DFT computations suggest that the slowest step following benzyne generation is the 4π-electrocyclic ring-opening of the alkynylbenzocyclobutene to a 1,3-dien-5-yne (an alkynylxylylene) intermediate. The activation energy for the subsequent 6π-electrocyclic ring-closure is lower than that for related acyclic dienynes because of the aromaticity that is being regained in the transition structure. Finally, the isolation of the benzocyclohexadienone products rather than their phenolic tautomers is notable.

Abstract
The 1,4-dithiin motif is known for its reversible redox properties to generate radical cations and diradical dications and thus is interesting for organic electronic applications. However, examples where this motif is embedded into chiral larger fused aromatic compounds are very rare. Here we describe the syntheses of several structurally related pyrene fused dithiins and their spectroscopic investigations with a focus on tuning circular dichroism, with respect to the g values, depending on their connectivity.

Abstract
Pseudocyclic arylbenziodoxaboroles are unique aryne precursors under neutral aqueous conditions that selectively react with organic sulfides, forming the corresponding sulfonium salts. This reaction is compatible with various substituents (alkyl, halogen, CN, NO2, CHO, and cyclopropyl) in the aromatic ring or alkyl group of the sulfide. Similar reactions of sulfoxides afford o-hydroxy-substituted sulfonium salts. The structures of key products were confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Abstract
N-Aryl (iso)quinolones are of increasing interest in material and medicinal chemistry, although general routes for their provision remain underexplored, especially when compared with its N-alkyl counterparts. Herein, we report a modular and transition-metal-free, aryne-induced three-component coupling protocol that allows the facile synthesis of structurally diverse N-aryl (iso)quinolones from readily accessible halo-(iso)quinolines in the presence of water. Preliminary results highlight the applicability of our method through scale-up synthesis, downstream derivatization, and flexible synthesis involving other types of aryne precursors.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes are short-lived intermediates that confine a functional group with a preferred linear geometry, an allene, into a small ring, inducing strain-driven reactivity. Nitrogen-containing variants, or azacyclic allenes, have proved valuable for the assembly of complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Whereas 3,4-azacyclic allenes, which bear a symmetrical core, have been the focus of multiple studies, their unsymmetrical 2,3-azacyclic counterparts have remained underexplored. In the present study, we report density functional theory studies investigating the structure of such unsymmetrical azacyclic allenes and experimental efforts to access and engage them in strain-promoted cycloadditions under mild conditions. Control experiments support either concerted or stepwise diradical mechanisms for these reactions, depending on the type of cycloaddition examined. Moreover, we generate the corresponding 2,3-oxacyclic allene and demonstrate its reactivity in cycloadditions and a metal-catalysed process. Given the scaffolds accessed, coupled with the observed selectivity trends, these results are expected to encourage the application of unsymmetrical heterocyclic allenes for the synthesis of heterocycles that bear a high fraction of sp3-hybridized atoms.

Abstract
Organic iodine(III) compounds represent the most widely used hypervalent halogen compounds in organic synthesis, where they typically perform the role of an electrophile or oxidant to functionalize electron-rich or -nucleophilic organic compounds. In contrast to this convention, we discovered their unique reactivity as organometallic-like nucleophiles toward arynes. Equipped with diverse transferable ligands and supported by a tethered spectator ligand, the organoiodine(III) compounds undergo addition across the electrophilic C-C triple bond of arynes while retaining the trivalency of the iodine center. This carboiodanation reaction can forge a variety of aryl-alkynyl, aryl-alkenyl, and aryl-(hetero)aryl bonds along with the concurrent formation of an aryl-iodine(III) bond under mild conditions. The newly formed aryl-iodine(III) bond serves as a versatile linchpin for downstream transformations, particularly as an electrophilic reaction site. The amphoteric nature of the iodine(III) group as a metalloid and a leaving group in this sequence enables the flexible and expedient synthesis of extended π-conjugated molecules and privileged biarylphosphine ligands, where all of the iodine(III)-containing compounds can be handled as air- and thermally stable materials.

For all three compounds, the heteroatom substituents are almost coplanar with the central aromatic moiety. C-heteroatom bonding metrics are unexceptional and fall withing the typical range of C-B, C-Si, and C-O single bonds. Despite numerous electronegative sites, only weak inter-molecular inter-actions are observed in the solid state.

Abstract
In the field of modern organic chemistry, hypervalent compounds have become indispensable tools for synthetic chemists, finding widespread applications in both academic research and industrial settings. While iodine-based reagents have historically dominated this research field, recent focus has shifted to the potent yet relatively unexplored chemistry of diaryl λ3-bromanes and -chloranes. Despite their unique reactivities, the progress in their development and application within organic synthesis has been hampered by the absence of straightforward, reliable, and widely applicable preparative methods. However, recent investigations have uncovered innovative approaches and novel reactivity patterns associated with these specialized compounds. These discoveries suggest that we have only begun to tap into their potential, implying that there is much more to be explored in this captivating area of chemistry.

Abstract
The oxyboration of arynes was achieved for the first time. A series of 2-aryl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane derivatives were reacted with aryne precursors in the presence of CsF to give the corresponding ring-expanded seven-membered borinic acid esters via selective boron-oxygen bond activation. Preliminary experimental mechanistic studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that this unprecedented aryne oxyboration proceeds through the formation of boron ate complexes of arylboronates with CsF, followed by aryne insertion into the boron-oxygen bond.

Abstract
Bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs), strained carbocycles comprising two fused cyclopropane rings, have become well-established building blocks in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology due to their diverse reactivity profile with radicals, nucleophiles, cations, and carbenes. The constraints of the bicyclic ring system confer high p-character on the interbridgehead C-C bond, leading to this broad reaction profile; however, the use of BCBs in pericyclic processes has to date been largely overlooked in favor of such stepwise, non-concerted additions. Here, we describe the use of BCBs as substrates for ene-like reactions with strained alkenes and alkynes, which give rise to cyclobutenes decorated with highly substituted cyclopropanes and arenes. The former products are obtained from highly stereoselective reactions with cyclopropenes, generated in situ from vinyl diazoacetates under blue light irradiation (440 nm). Cyclobutenes featuring a quaternary aryl-bearing carbon atom are prepared from equivalent reactions with arynes, which proceed in high yields under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies highlight the importance of electronic effects in this chemistry, while computational investigations support a concerted pathway and rationalize the excellent stereoselectivity of reactions with cyclopropenes.

Abstract
Owing to the mild generation methods, arynes have been widely used in synthetic chemistry. However, achieving asymmetric organocatalytic reactions with arynes remains a formidable and infrequent challenge, primarily because these neutral and transient species tend to spontaneously quench. To address this issue, a solid-liquid phase-transfer strategy is devised in which the generation speed of arynes could be controlled by the in situ generated fluoride-based chiral phase-transfer catalyst. In this study, we present a catalytic enantioselective nucleophilic addition reaction involving arynes, utilizing an amino amide-based guanidinium salt QG•X. Furthermore, we demonstrate the broad compatibility of this reaction with various arynes and cyclic/acyclic β-keto amides, leading to the creation of diverse α-aryl quaternary stereocenters with good stereoselectivity. Mechanistic investigations have uncovered the potential involvement of a chiral intramolecular cationic-anionic pair and HF during the ion exchange between QG•X and CsF for nucleophile activation and aryne generation. Additionally, DFT calculations suggested that the observed high levels of enantioselectivity can be attributed to steric repulsion and the cumulative noncovalent interactions between the catalysts and substrates.

Abstract
Anilines are potentially high-value arylating agents, but are limited by the low reactivity of the strong C-N bond. We show that the reactive intermediate benzyne can be used to both activate anilines, and set-up an aryl transfer reaction in a single step. The reaction does not require any transition metal catalysts or stoichiometric organometallics, and establishes a metal-free route to valuable biaryl products by functionalizing the aniline C-N bond.

Abstract
Herein, a novel aryne species, 3-triazenylaryne, was developed and its regioselectivity was revealed. Based on the regioselectivity, various alkyne moieties were introduced by iodoalkynylation, and further derivatization to o-triazenylarylboronic acids as 3-alkynylaryne precursors was enabled. Therefore, 3-triazenylaryne was developed as a divergent platform for the generation of various 3-alkynylarynes.

Abstract
Herein, we report a rare example of trapping arynes using in situ generated aryltrifluoromethylnitrone to access an important class of trifluoromethylated benzoxazolines. This three-component strategy involves a nitrone formation/[3 + 2] cycloaddition/thermal rearrangement cascade and furnishes trifluoromethylated benzoxazolines in high yields. The scope of the reaction is quite broad with respect to aryltrifluorodiazoethanes, nitrosoarenes, and arynes. The proposed reaction pathway is supported through the isolation and characterization of the key reaction intermediates phenyltrifluoromethylnitrone and benzisoxazoline.

Abstract
Sulfilimines, the aza analogues of sulfoxides, are of increasing interest in medicinal and agrochemical research programs. However, the development of efficient routes for their synthesis has remained relatively unexplored. In this study, we report a transition metal-free, selective S-arylation reaction between sulfenamides and arynes, enabling the facile preparation of structurally diverse sulfilimines under mild and redox-neutral conditions in good yields. The application value of our method was further demonstrated by scale-up synthesis, downstream derivatization, and robustness screen.

Abstract
5,6-Dihydrophenanthridines are prepared from aryl amines via intramolecular addition to N-tethered arynes under mild conditions. A new o-silylaryl triflate precursor was developed to increase reactivity and enable electron-rich and electron-poor aryl amines to undergo cyclisation. A complete switch in product selectivity occurs when the reaction is conducted in air, affording the corresponding phenanthridin-6(5H)-one as the sole product under otherwise identical reaction conditions.

An efficient method for generating 3-triazenylarynes from ortho-iodoaryl triflate-type precursors was developed. The generated arynes reacted with various arynophiles with high regioselectivity because of the triazenyl group. The 3-triazenylaryne precursors functioned as useful intermediates of diverse multisubstituted aromatic compounds through the transformation of the remaining triazenyl group of aryne adducts and triazenyl group-directed ortho-C-H functionalization.

Abstract
Aryne insertions into the carbon-iodine bond of heteroaryl iodides has been achieved for the first time. This novel reaction provides an efficient pathway for the synthesis of valuable building blocks 2-iodoheterobiaryls from heteroaryl iodides and o-silylaryl triflates in excellent regioselectivity. The copper(I) catalyst, which bears a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, is essential to accomplish the reaction. Control reactions and DFT calculations indicate that the coordination of copper, as a Lewis acid, with nitrogen atoms of heteroaryl iodides mediates the insertion of arynes into heteroaryl carbon-iodine bonds.

Abstract
S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), a sulfonium-based cofactor, plays an important role in numerous biological processes as methyl donor. Inspired by the function of sulfonium motif in this nature's synthetic toolkit, we here present an aryne-activation strategy that the sulfonium intermediates in situ generated from thioethers display unique reactivity toward alkyl group transposition. Experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the reaction occurs in an intermolecular fashion where the TfO--incorporated [K(18-crown-6)] complex acts as a key promoter for this thermodynamically favored process. Next, a series of robust, easy-to-prepare sulfonium salts are designed and developed as electrophilic alkylation reagents accordingly. Both systems feature for broad scope, excellent selectivity, and simple operation. Moreover, we highlight the synthetic value through molecular editing and late-stage modification of complex scaffolds or even active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Abstract
Arylboron compounds are widely available and synthetically useful reagents in which the boron group is typically substituted. Herein, we show that the boron group and ortho-hydrogen atom are substituted in a formal cycloaddition reaction. This transformation is enabled by a one-pot sequence involving diaryliodonium and aryne intermediates. The scope of arylboron reagents and arynophiles is demonstrated, and the method is applied to the formal synthesis of an investigational drug candidate.

Abstract
Tetrahydroisoquinoline and its fused polyheterocycles are prevalent structural motifs found in numerous natural products. In this study, we report a highly efficient and convergent synthetic approach for the construction of tetrahydroisoquinoline-fused polyheterocycles through a three-component formal [2 + 2 + 2] annulation process by combining 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines, CO2, and benzynes. Notably, electron-rich 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines and electron-deficient benzynes exhibit greater reactivity in this annulation. Moreover, this method benefits from the convergent synthesis and the utilization of carbon dioxide, providing a valuable strategy for the facile synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline-fused polyheterocycles, with potential applications in the discovery and development of novel organic molecules.

Abstract
A four-step semisynthetic approach towards a highly versatile allocolchicine-related chiral aryne intermediate starting from naturally occurring colchicine was developed, and some of its synthetic transformations were studied. The in situ generated benzyne intermediate afforded a number of non-racemic heterocyclic allocolchicinoids, which were shown to exhibit potent cytotoxicity towards COLO 357, OSA and Raji cells. The proposed methodology is attractive for the synthesis of libraries of new cytotoxic tubulin inhibitors.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important compounds in materials chemistry, particularly for optoelectronic applications. One strategy for tuning PAH properties involves the net exchange of carbon atoms for heteroatoms, such as nitrogen. We report a comparative study of the well-known fluorophore 9,10-diphenylanthracene with an aza analog. The latter compound is accessed using a short sequence involving the use of two strained cyclic alkynes, benzyne and a 3,4-piperidyne, in Diels-Alder cycloaddition sequences. Comparative studies of 9,10-diphenylanthracene and the aza-analog show how the addition of a single nitrogen atom impacts electrochemical and optical properties. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices were prepared using both compounds, which showed that nitrogen substitution leads to an unexpected red shift in electroluminescence, likely due to exciplex formation between the active layer and the 4,4'-N,N'-bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (NPB) hole-transport layer. These studies highlight a unique approach to accessing heteroatom-containing PAHs, while underscoring the impact of heteroatoms on OLED device performance.

Abstract
We report a concise approach to phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids, wherein strained azacyclic alkynes are intercepted in Pd-catalyzed annulations. Two types of strained intermediates were evaluated: a functionalized piperidyne and a new strained intermediate, an indolizidyne. We show that each can be employed, ultimately allowing access to three natural products: tylophorine, tylocrebine, and isotylocrebine. These efforts demonstrate the successful merger of strained azacyclic alkyne chemistry with transition-metal catalysis for the construction of complex heterocycles.

Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis and comprehensive analysis of a highly contorted and doubly negatively curved multihelicene compound, composed of three carbo[7]helicene units fused within a central six-membered ring. The synthesis of this compound involved a [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 13,14-picyne, employing a Ni(0) catalyst, which exhibited superior performance compared to conventional Pd(0) catalysts. The evaluation of aromaticity in this triple carbo[7]helicene, utilizing magnetic and electronic criteria, led to noteworthy insights challenging the limitations of Clar's model of aromaticity.

Abstract
An efficient and metal-free approach for the synthesis of sulfilimines from sulfenamides with aryne and cyclohexyne precursors has been developed. The reaction proceeds through unusual S-C bond formation, which offers a novel and practical entry to access a wide range of sulfilimines in moderate to good yields with excellent chemoselectivity. Moreover, this protocol is amenable to gram-scale synthesis and is applicable to the transformation of the products into useful sulfoximines.

Abstract
Traditional radical-mediated ring-opening of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) for cyclobutane synthesis suffers from poor diastereoselectivity. Although few reports on BCB ring-opening via polar mechanisms are available, the Lewis acid-catalyzed diastereoselective ring-opening of BCBs using carbon nucleophiles is still underdeveloped. Herein, we report a mild and diastereoselective Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed ring-opening of BCBs employing 2-naphthols. The anticipated carbofunctionalized trisubstituted cyclobutanes were obtained via a bicoordinated bismuth complex and the products are formed in good to excellent yields with high regio- and diastereoselectivity. The scope of the reaction was further extended using electron-rich phenols and naphthylamine. The functionalization of the synthesized trisubstituted cyclobutanes shows the synthetic utility of the present method.
