Abstract
The formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in anthraquinones makes them inert to photoinduced reactions; therefore, it is a great challenge to phototransform these compounds. Herein, we reported a formal visible-light-induced [4 + 2] cycloaddition of both 1-hydroxyanthraquinones and 1-aminoanthraquinones with olefins under external photocatalyst-free conditions with high regioselectivity. More than 60 substrates are disclosed, demonstrating the reliability of this protocol to construct diverse functionalized anthraquinone derivatives.

Abstract
The small molecule built around the benzene ring, diacetyl phenylenediamine (DAPA), has attracted much attention due to its synthesis accessibility, large Stokes shift, etc. However, its meta structure m-DAPA does not fluoresce. In a previous investigation, it was found that such a property is due to the fact that it undergoes an energy-reasonable double proton transfer conical intersection during the deactivation of the S1 excited-state, then returns to the ground state by a nonradiative relaxation process eventually. However, our static electronic structure calculations and non-adiabatic dynamics analysis results indicate that only one reasonable non-adiabatic deactivation channel exists: after being excited to the S1 state, m-DAPA undergoes an ultrafast and barrierless ESIPT process and reaches the single-proton-transfer conical intersection. Subsequently, the system either returns to the keto-form S0 state minimum with proton reversion or returns to the single-proton-transfer S0 minimum after undergoing a slight twist of the acetyl group. The dynamics results show that the S1 excited-state lifetime of m-DAPA is 139 fs. In other words, we propose an efficient single-proton-transfer non-adiabatic deactivation channel of m-DAPA that is different from previous work, which can provide important mechanistic information of similar fluorescent materials.

Abstract
To address the increasing demand for biobased materials, lignin-derived ferulic acid (FA) is a promising candidate. In this study, an FA-derived styrene-like monomer, referred to as 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (MVP), was used as the platform to prepare functional monomers for radical polymerizations. Hydrophobic biobased monomers derived from MVP were polymerized via solution and emulsion polymerization resulting in homo- and copolymers with a wide range of thermal properties, thus showcasing their potential in thermoplastic applications. Moreover, divinylbenzene (DVB)-like monomers were prepared from MVP by varying the aliphatic chain length between the MVP units. These biobased monomers were thermally crosslinked with thiol-bearing reagents to produce thermosets with different crosslinking densities in order to demonstrate their thermosetting applications. The results of this study expand the scope of MVP-derived monomers that can be used in free-radical polymerizations toward the preparation of new biobased and functional materials from lignin.

Abstract
A new mode for complexity-building photochemical cascades which offers experimentally simple transition metal-free intramolecular Csp2-Csp3 cross coupling of aromatic amides is attained via an unprecedented [2 + 2] reactivity of ESIPT-generated azaxylylenes. Coupled with short and straightforward postphotochemical modifications of the primary photoproducts, these cascades allow for a significant step-normalized growth of molecular complexity while accessing diverse and complex polyheterocyclic molecular architectures.

Abstract
The detailed mechanism of photoinduced dearomatization of benzenoid arenes is investigated using both the high-level ab initio method and density functional theory. The results suggest that the optically allowed singlet excited state (S2) can quickly decay to the lowest triplet excited state (T1) through a barrierless internal conversion and intersystem crossing. Importantly, we find a triplet excited state intramolecular proton transfer (T-ESIPT) pathway to produce a diradical triplet intermediate (3MO-H), which can trigger the subsequent [4 + 2] dearomatization reaction. Furthermore, the diastereoselectivity of the reaction was illustrated by the rotation of the O-H group of 3MO-H, which could be effectively modulated by the solvent effect (arising from the strength of the intermolecular hydrogen bond) and the substituted effect (arising from the strength of the electron-donation group). This photochemical mechanism can explain well the experimental observations, and the novel T-ESIPT process can open a new door in studying the photoinduced proton transfer reactions.

Abstract
AbstractHybrid fused two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) rings are important pharmacophores in drugs owing to their unique structural and physicochemical properties. Preparation of these strained ring systems often requires elaborate synthetic effort and exhibits low efficiency, thus representing a limiting factor in drug discovery. Here, we report two types of energy-transfer-mediated cascade dearomative [2 + 2] cycloaddition/rearrangement reactions of quinoline derivatives with alkenes, which provide a straightforward avenue to 2D/3D pyridine-fused 6−5−4−3- and 6−4−6-membered ring systems. Notably, this energy-transfer-mediated strategy features excellent diastereoselectivity that bypasses the general reactivity and selectivity issues of photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition of various other aromatics. Tuning the aza-arene substitutions enabled selective diversion of the iridium photocatalysed energy transfer manifold towards either cyclopropanation or cyclobutane-rearrangement products. Density functional theory calculations revealed a cascade energy transfer scenario to be operative.

Abstract
The excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reactions and the fluorescence emission spectra of o-aminoaldehyde and o-aminoketone derivatives were systematically studied with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). The results suggest that the ESIPT process can be characterized as an ultra-fast process and that N-H vibration plays an important role in fluorescence emissions. The minimum energy pathways (MEP) on the excited states along the proton transfer coordinates (N-H vibration) were constructed for both o-aminoaldehyde and o-aminoketone derivatives, respectively, which showed a small barrier between the normal and tautomer (ESIPT) structures. By comparing the proton transfer barriers (Eb) and the N-H reorganization energies (λeleNH), we find that λeleNH is less than Eb in o-aminoketone derivatives, while λeleNH is greater than Eb in o-aminoaldehyde derivatives. It is clear that protons could move freely in o-aminoaldehyde derivatives, and thus only one normal emission band could be observed. Subsequently, the fluorescence emission spectra upon introduction of the N-H vibration effect can further confirm this mechanism, and the simulated spectra are in good agreement with the experimental observations, in which the o-aminoaldehyde derivatives have only one normal emission band while the o-aminoketone derivatives have two emission bands corresponding to the normal and tautomer structures. Consequently, this work can elucidate the lack of the ESIPT band in o-aminoaldehyde derivatives and also offer new insight into ESIPT by considering the vibronic effect.

Abstract
The first broad spectrum investigation into the photoenolization/Diels-Alder (PEDA) sequence was carried out using M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) in conjunction with SMD solvation and supported by experimental UV-vis spectroscopy. A test set of 20 prodienes was chosen to examine the role of the H atom acceptor group (substituted and unsubstituted carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, and imine), the H atom donor group, and bystander ring substituents. As reaction partners for the photogenerated dienes, a diverse test set of 20 dienophiles was examined, comprising electron rich, electron poor, neutral, strain activated, hydrocarbon, and heteroatom-containing molecules including CO2 and CO. A key finding of this work is the demonstration that the PEDA sequence of carbonyl based prodienes is tolerant of most substitution patterns. Another is that thiocarbonyl derivatives should behave analogously to the carbonyls but are likely to do so much more slowly, due to an inefficient intersystem crossing, an endothermic 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) step, and a [1,5] sigmatropic H shift to regenerate the starting material that outcompetes the [4 + 2]cycloaddition. In contrast, the T1 state of the ortho-alkyl imines displays the incorrect orbital symmetry for 1,5-HAT and is correspondingly accompanied by higher barriers, even in the excited state. However, provided these barriers can be overcome, the remaining steps in the PEDA sequence are predicted to be facile. The Diels-Alder reaction is predicted to be of much broader scope than reported synthetic literature: while electron poor dienophiles are expected to be the most reactive partners, ethylene and electron rich alkenes should react at a synthetically useful rate. CO is predicted to undergo a facile (4 + 1)cheletropic addition instead of the normal [4 + 2]cycloaddition pathway. This unique photoenolization/cheletropic addition (PECA) sequence could provide metal-free access to benzannelated cyclopentanones.

Abstract
A new complexity building photoinduced cascade which amounts to an unprecedented formal [4+2+2+2] cycloaddition topology is developed to access complex nitrogen polyheterocycles. This photocascade is initiated by the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in aromatic amino ketones with tethered dual unsaturated pendants, i.e. pyrrole and alkenic moieties, resulting in the formation of four σ-bonds and setting six new stereogenic centers in a single experimentally simple photochemical step with up to 220 mcbit complexity increases.

Abstract
The asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone and (+)-adociaquinones A and B was achieved in 6–7 steps using an easily accessible meso-cyclohexadienone derivative. The [6,6]-bicyclic decalin B–C ring and the all-carbon quaternary stereocenter at C-6 were prepared via a desymmetric intramolecular Michael reaction with up to 97% ee. The naphthalene diol D–E ring was constructed through a sequence of Ti(Oi-Pr)4-promoted photoenolization/Diels–Alder, dehydration, and aromatization reactions. This asymmetric strategy provides a scalable route to prepare target molecules and their derivatives for further biological studies. The asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-xestoquinone and (+)-adociaquinones A and B was achieved in 6–7 steps using an easily accessible meso-cyclohexadienone derivative.![]()

Abstract
Regiodivergent photocyclization of dearomatized acylphloroglucinol substrates has been developed to produce type A polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol (PPAP) derivatives using an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. Using this strategy, we achieved the enantioselective total syntheses of the type A PPAPs (-)-nemorosone and (-)-6-epi-garcimultiflorone A. Diverse photocyclization substrates have been investigated leading to divergent photocyclization processes as a function of tether length. Photophysical studies were performed, and photocyclization mechanisms were proposed based on investigation of various substrates as well as deuterium-labeling experiments.

Abstract
Donor/acceptor carbenes provide a powerful platform for building molecular complexity, but the majority of their reactions have been limited to aryl and vinyl donor groups. We found that a N-containing donor/acceptor carbene precursor, 4-phthalimido- N-methanesulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole, reacts with unactivated arenes resulting in a mixture of [3+2]-cycloadducts, [3a,7a]-dihydroindoles, and formal C-H functionalization products in up to 82% yield upon heating. We also demonstrate that the formal C-H functionalization products arise from ring-opening of the [3+2]-cycloadducts. Computational studies suggest that the formal cycloaddition process takes places through a tandem arene cyclopropanation/6π electrocyclization/6π electrocyclic ring-opening/3,5-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction, which also accounts for the distinctive regioselectivity of the formal cycloaddition reaction.

Abstract
This work develops a highly efficient metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst for the straightforward synthesis of functionalized benzenes via [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition. As efficient cooperative catalyst for such reactions, Co-MOF-1, shows great sustainability and efficiency. This new catalytic system can lead to the generation of a series of structurally diverse benzenes in good to excellent yields (up to 95%). Heterogenous catalysis of [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition was firstly achieved by a low-cost, air-stable and reusable Co-MOF catalyst, affording structurally diverse functionalized benzenes under mild conditions with high efficiency and selectivity.![]()

Abstract
A study of the reactivity of a non-stabilised azomethine ylide, derived from N-(methoxymethyl)-N-(trimethylsilylmethyl)benzylamine, with nitro-substituted isatoic anhydrides was undertaken. N-Methyl-4-nitroisatoic anhydride underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction exclusively at the isatoic anhydride C1-carbonyl group, followed by decarboxylative rearrangement to yield a benzo-1,3-diazepin-5-one derivative. In contrast, N-methyl-5-nitroisatoic anhydride underwent competing cycloaddition processes to the isatoic anhydride C1-carbonyl group and to the nitro-substituted aromatic ring. The dearomative addition reaction resulted in the formation of novel tetracyclic products.

Abstract
Selective excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) photocycloaddition of 3-hydroxyflavones with trans, trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is described. Using this methodology, total syntheses of the natural products (±)-foveoglin A and (±)-perviridisin B were accomplished. Enantioselective ESIPT photocycloaddition using TADDOLs as chiral hydrogen-bonding additives provided access to (+)-foveoglin A. Mechanistic studies have revealed the possibility for a photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) pathway.

Abstract
Atom- and step-economy in photoassisted diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) is achieved with a versatile oxalyl linker offering rapid access to complex alkaloid mimics in very few experimentally simple steps: (i) it allows for fast tethering of the photoactive core to the unsaturated pendants, especially important in the case of (hetero)aromatic amines-essentially a one-pot reaction with no isolation of intermediates; (ii) the α-dicarbonyl tether acts as a chromophore enhancer, extending the conjugation chain and facilitating the "harvest" of the lower energy photons for the primary and secondary photoreactions; (iii) it enhances the quantum yield of intersystem crossing (ISC), i.e., it is capable of sensitizing secondary photochemical processes in the cascade; and (iv) the tether forms an additional heterocyclic moiety, imidazolidine-4,5-dione, a known pharmacophore. The overall photoassisted cascade is an efficient complexity-building process as quantified by computed step-normalized complexity indices, leading to extended polyheterocyclic molecular architectures comparable in complexity to natural products such as paclitaxel while requiring only 2-4 simple synthetic steps from readily available chemical feedstock.

Abstract
Stereoselective construction of polycyclic rings with all-carbon quaternary centers, and vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, remains a significant challenge in organic synthesis. These structures can be found in a wide range of polycyclic natural products and drug molecules. Here we report a Ti(Oi-Pr)4-promoted photoenolization/Diels–Alder (PEDA) reaction to construct hydroanthracenol and related polycyclic rings bearing all-carbon quaternary centers. This photolysis proceeds under mild conditions and generates a variety of photo-cycloaddition products in good reaction efficiency and stereoselectivity (48 examples), and has been successfully used in the construction of core skeleton of oncocalyxones, tetracycline and pleurotin. It also provides a reliable method for the late-stage modification of natural products bearing enone groups, such as steroids. The total synthesis of oncocalyxone B was successfully achieved using this PEDA approach. Anthracenols with multiple chiral centres are common motifs in natural products. Here, the authors show a highly stereoselective photoenolization/Diels–Alder methodology involving a key Lewis acid reagent enabling the efficient construction of a family of anthracenol derivatives with quaternary centers.

Abstract
The photolysis of substituted o-divinylbenzenes promotes a one-step and metal-free conversion to oxatricycles at room temperature. Irradiation o-divinylbenzenes results in an pericyclic reaction to form cyclic o-quinodiemthane intermediates, which subsequently undergo intramolecular oxa-[4+2] cycloaddition to form oxacyclic derivatives.

Abstract
Intramolecular cycloadditions of aza-o-xylylenes generated via excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) to furanacetic acid-based unsaturated pendants was shown to overcome the unfavorable energetics of the azetidinone ring formation, offering rapid access to β-lactams as primary photoproducts. These 2,3- and 3,4-dihydrofuran-containing reactive intermediates are suitable for a broad spectrum of postphotochemical transformations yielding complex polyheterocyclic molecular architectures possessing the β-lactam moiety.
