Crafting an efficient strategy for the synthesis of biologically active and functionally rich hexahydrofuranocarbazole is a highly desirable but demanding pursuit. This research elucidates a groundbreaking strategy involving an unanticipated defluorinative hydroxylation reaction facilitated by silica gel, yielding highly enantio‐ and diastereoselective hexahydrofuranocarbazole frameworks. This method results in the formation of five consecutive chiral centers, including three quaternary stereocenters and an all‐carbon spiro center, via an aminocatalytic asymmetric remote [4+2] addition process. The developed methodology allows for the construction of a diverse array of products (24 examples, up to >99 % ee and 17 : 1 dr), reflecting its notable substrate scope. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of gram‐scale synthesis and control experiments that underscore the methodological advancements and provide insights into the underlying mechanism.

The reaction modes in the reactions of several alkenes with Tf2C=CH2 (Tf=CF3SO2) have been controlled by the reaction solvents. For example, although the reaction with allylsilanes selectively produced normal allylation products in MeCN, gem‐bis(triflyl)cyclopentanes were formed in toluene. In particular, a selective formation of the (3+2) cycloadducts was achieved by using sterically hindered allylsilanes. We also found notable solvent effects in the reaction with simple alkenic hydrocarbons. That is, in hot toluene, the Alder ene reaction of the alkenes with Tf2C=CH2 smoothly proceeded to give the corresponding (E)‐alkenes bearing a superacidic bis(triflyl)methyl group.

The origins of regioselectivity switch in pyridinium phosphinoylation and carbamoylation were computationally investigated using energy decomposition analysis. The results reveal that the preference for regioselectivity arises from distinct intermolecular interactions between phosphinoyl/carbamoyl radicals and pyridinium derivatives. The ortho‐methoxy group on pyridinium remodulates different types of intermolecular interactions, exhibiting an opposite trend in its influence on para versus ortho selectivity.

The reaction of a series of pyrazole derivatives with DMSO/ ‐DMSO‐d6 and thionyl chloride conveniently afforded the 4‐thiolated pyrazole products under metal‐free conditions. This C−H functionalization/elelctrophilic thiolation process is postulated to involve the in situ generation of the electrophilic hypochlorothioite via interrupted Pummerer reaction, followed with the electrophilic methylthiolation of pyrazole skeleton.

Heterocyclic discotic liquid crystals containing heteroatoms such as O, N, S, Se, P as part of π‐conjugated framework has revolutionized organic semiconductors research. The presence of heteroatom in π‐conjugated core has been reported to strikingly influence the self‐assembling properties. In this work we have synthesized novel chromenophenanthridines where the incorporation of oxygen facilitates the in plane ordering of central core and improves liquid crystalline character in these molecules. This paper elucidates the mesomorphic behavior of chromenonapthophenanthridines prepared via tandem Pictet Spengler cyclisation and ipso‐aromatic substitution in one pot. The synthesized compounds exhibited wide range enantiotropic columnar hexagonal phase. The mesomorphic behavior was suggested as a function of peripheral alkyl chains. The shorter homologue was found to exhibit hexagonal columnar plastic phase whereas higher ones exhibit hexagonal columnar phase.

The cascade carbocation cyclization (CCC) of the secondary benzylic, or the benzhydryl, carbocation by the 2‐indene, 2/3‐indole, or 2/3‐benzofuran followed by the intermolecular nucleophilic addition by H‐/allyl‐silane or electron‐rich arenes, also classifiable as the interrupted iso‐Nazarov reaction, provided the corresponding indane‐fused indane/indole/benzofuran scaffolds. The initial CCC forged the trans relationship at the two newly formed adjacent stereogenic centers while the latter provided the selective cis stereocontrol at the new ring junction. Starting from achiral alcohols, the reaction sequence furnished the oxygen/nitrogen‐containing indane fused‐ring tetracyclic systems in moderate to good yields with excellent stereoselectivity on all three contiguous chiral centers.

Ullazine, a typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with a 14 π‐electron nitrogen‐containing core, has garnered significant attention due to its excellent performance in optoelectronics applications. Integration of heteroatoms into the frameworks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is a well‐established strategy for modifying molecular characteristics and functionalities. In this study, heteroatom‐doped ullazine congener Bis‐BS‐U containing two boron‐sulfur bonds was synthesized. The structures and properties of Bis‐BS‐U were systematically compared to those of the previously reported bis‐boron/nitrogen doped ullazine (Bis‐BN‐U) and bis‐boron/oxygen doped ullazine (Bis‐BO‐U). Notably, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Bis‐BS‐U exhibited a pronounced red shift relative to those of Bis‐BN‐U and Bis‐BO‐U. Theoretical calculations suggest that the boron/sulfur six‐member ring in Bis‐BS‐U exhibits very weak antiaromaticity. Moreover, the fluorescence intensity of Bis‐BS‐U showed an initial increase upon addition of Hg2+, followed by gradual decrease over time. This study expands the family of ullazine and provides valuable insights for the future development of heteroatom‐doped ullazines.

Transition metal‐catalyzed transformations of bridged‐ring bicyclic alkenes have emerged as an interesting area of synthetic chemistry in the last two decades. Due to their multiple points of reactivity, bicyclic alkenes, especially oxa/aza‐bicyclic alkenes, can participate in a variety annulation/functionalization reactions catalyzed by transition metals. In this review, a wide range of transition metal‐catalyzed C−H activation/addition of bicyclic alkenes with nucleophiles is described.

We demonstrated that indium bromide, a trivalent indium compound with strong tolerance toward various coordination functional groups, can be used as a sole promotor to effectively promote the hydrohydrazination of a variety of N‐phenylhydrazines with aromatic/aliphatic alkynes and the subsequent [3,3]‐sigmatropic reaction of the hydrazone intermediate, leading to the one‐pot preparation of various poly‐substituted indole derivatives. Notably, the initial hydrohydrazination proceeded in a Markovnikov‐type manner and showed high regioselectivity, with the hydrohydrazination of arylalkynes affording only 2‐arylindole derivatives. Therefore, our findings provide a facile and practical one‐pot process for the synthesis of polysubstituted indole derivatives from various phenylhydrazines and aromatic/aliphatic alkynes using only one promotor.

C–Centered radicals are one of the classical reactive intermediates that have shown enormous utility in organic synthesis. Besides homolytic bond cleavages, the advancements of electron transfer‐based photoredox and electroredox processes are popular choices for their generation and synthetic explorations. Considering the widespread attention and versatility of C‐centered radicals in several fields, a systematic understanding of structural, stability, and reactivity aspects is crucial for the further development and futuristic applications of radical chemistry. In this regard, several topics pertaining to the generation, detection, and studies relevant to radical chemistry in general and thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the C‐centered radicals specifically, with a major emphasis on physical organic chemistry aspects, are presented. Besides portraying the factors governing their stability and reactivity, this contribution also discusses their challenges and perspectives.
