Abstract
We report an efficient site-selective synthetic method to C2 and C3 indanyl-substituted indole derivatives via 1,3-dithianyl induced Nazarov-type cyclization. In particular, C2-selective indanyl-substituted indoles were directly obtained by a BF3·Et2O-promoted sequence of intramolecular C3-C2 migration and Nazarov-type cyclization process.

Abstract
An unconventional [1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1] annulation process was developed for the construction of β,β-dithioketones by merging C-C and C-S bond cleavage. In this reaction, rongalite concurrently served as triple C1 units, dual sulfur(II) synthons, and a reductant for the first time. Mechanism investigation indicated that the reaction involved the self-mediated valence state change of rongalite. By performing this step-economical method, the challenging construction of C5-substituted 1,3-dithiane can be achieved under mild and simple conditions.

Herein, we report a C3 and C1 coupling approach between vinyl 1,3-dithiane derivatives and alkynylsilanes for the construction of highly substituted conjugated dienes. Through the regioselective dual 1,3-sulfur migration process, this method enabled the synthesis of a wide range of highly substituted (E)-1,3-dienes stereoselectively in moderate to high yields, which provided one alternative way to synthesize the corresponding conjugated dienones.

Abstract
When mono-radical ipso-cyclization of aryl sulfonamides tend to undergo Smiles-type rearrangement through aromatization-driven C-S bond cleavage, diradical-mediated cyclization must perform in a distinct reaction pathway. It is interesting meanwhile challenging to tune the rate of C-S bond cleavage to achieve a chemically divergent reaction of (hetero) aryl sulfonamides in a visible-light induced energy transfer (EnT) reaction pathway involving diradical species. Herein a chemically divergent reaction based on the designed indole-tethered (hetero)arylsulfonamides is reported which involves a diradical-mediated ipso-cyclization and a controllable cleavage of an inherent C-S bond. The combined experimental and computational results have revealed that the cleavage of the C-S bond in these substrates can be controlled by tuning the heteroaryl moieties: a) If the (hetero)aryl is thienyl, furyl, phenanthryl, etc., the radical coupling of double dearomative diradicals (DDDR) precedes over C-S bond cleavage to afford cyclobutene fused indolines by double dearomative [2+2]-cycloaddition; b) if the (hetero)aryl is phenyl, naphthyl, pyridyl, indolyl etc., the cleavage of C-S bond in DDDR is favored over radical coupling to afford biaryl products.

Abstract
A full account of our efforts toward the stereoselective total synthesis of sesquiterpenoid-derived natural products (±)-pleurospiroketals A and B is described. Commercially available 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone and 2,2-dimethyloxirane were used as key building blocks, and the substrate-controlled stereoselection was exploited to access the entire stereochemistry of these natural products. Initially, a planned synthetic route involving a [6,5]-bicyclic lactone intermediate was found to be insurmountable, and the later strategy comprising OsO4-NMO-mediated dihydroxylation of 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone, followed by Luche reduction, Eschenmoser methylenation, and Brønsted acid-induced spiroketalization steps, was ultimately identified as the reliable strategy.

Abstract
N,O-Acetals derived from α,β-unsaturated β-aryl substituted aldehydes and (1-aminocyclohexyl)methanol were found to undergo a catalytic enantioselective [2 + 2] photocycloaddition to a variety of olefins (19 examples, 54-96% yield, 84-98% ee). The reaction was performed by visible light irradiation (λ = 459 nm). A chiral phosphoric acid (10 mol %) with an (R)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (binol) backbone served as the catalyst. The acid displays two thioxanthone groups attached to position 3 and 3' of the binol core via a meta-substituted phenyl linker. NMR studies confirmed the formation of an iminium ion which is attached to the acid counterion in a hydrogen-bond assisted ion pair. The catalytic activity of the acid rests on the presence of the thioxanthone moieties which enable a facile triplet energy transfer and an efficient enantioface differentiation.

Abstract
N-Alkyl-N-(2-(1-arylvinyl)aryl)cinnamamides are converted into natural product inspired scaffolds via iridium photocatalyzed intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition. The protocol has a broad substrate scope, whilst operating under mild reaction conditions. Tethering four components forming a trisubstituted cyclobutane core builds rapidly high molecular complexity. Our approach allows the design and synthesis of a variety of tetrahydrocyclobuta[c]quinolin-3(1H)-ones, in yields ranging between 20-99 %, and with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the intramolecular [2+2]-cycloaddition of 1,7-enynes-after fragmentation of the cyclobutane ring-leads to enyne-metathesis-like products.

Abstract
The [2+2] photocycloaddition is the most valuable and intensively investigated photochemical process. Here we demonstrate that irradiation of N-acryloyl heterocycles with blue LED light (440 nm) in the presence of an IrIII complex leads to efficient and high yielding fused γ-lactam formation across a range of substituted heterocycles. Quantum calculations show that the reaction proceeds via cyclization in the triplet excited state to yield a 1,4-diradical; intersystem crossing leads preferentially to the closed shell singlet zwitterion. This is geometrically restricted from undergoing recombination to yield a cyclobutane by the planarity of the amide substituent. A prototropic shift leads to the observed bicyclic products in what can be viewed as an interrupted [2+2] cycloaddition.

Abstract
Kinetic resolution (KR) of racemic starting materials is a powerful and practical alternative to prepare valuable enantiomerically enriched compounds. A magnesium-catalyzed kinetic resolution based on a designed intramolecular vinylogous Michael reaction is disclosed. Here we show a synergistic catalytic strategy based on the development of chiral ligands. Substrates containing linear allylic ester structures are designed and synthesized to construct key [6.6.5]-tricyclic chiral skeletons via this kinetic resolution process. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal a rational mechanism for the current intramolecular vinylogous KR reaction. The desired direct intramolecular asymmetric vinylogous Michael reaction of linear allylic esters is realized in high efficiency and enantioselectivity with the synergistic catalytic system. Kinetic resolution allows to obtain enantioenriched compounds from racemic mixtures. Here, the authors report a synergistic magnesium catalyst promoting kinetic resolution of an intramolecular vinylogous Michael reaction to access [6.6.5]-tricyclic chiral skeletons.

Abstract
The intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of 3‐alkenyl‐2‐cycloalkenones was performed in an enantioselective fashion (nine representative examples, 54–86 % yield, 76–96 % ee) upon irradiation at λ=366 nm in the presence of an AlBr3‐activated oxazaborolidine as the Lewis acid. An extensive screening of proline‐derived oxazaborolidines showed that the enantioface differentiation depends strongly on the nature of the aryl group at the 3‐position of the heterocycle. DFT calculations of the Lewis acid–substrate complex indicate that attractive dispersion forces may be responsible for a change of the binding mode. The catalytic [2+2] photocycloaddition was shown to proceed on the triplet hypersurface with a quantum yield of 0.05. The positive effect of Lewis acids on the outcome of a given intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition was illustrated by optimizing the key step in a concise total synthesis of the sesquiterpene (±)‐italicene.

Abstract
An intramolecular dearomatization of indole derivatives based on visible-light-promoted [2+2] cycloaddition was achieved via energy transfer mechanism. The highly strained cyclobutane-fused angular tetracyclic spiroindolines, which were typically unattainable under thermal conditions, could be directly accessed in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent diastereoselectivity (>20:1 dr) under mild conditions. The method was also compatible with diverse functional groups and amenable to flexible transformations. In addition, DFT calculations provided guidance on the rational design of substrates and deep understanding of the reaction pathways. This process constituted a rare example of indole functionalization by exploiting visible-light-induced reactivity at the excited states.

Abstract
The first law of photochemistry, as described by Theodor von Grotthuß and John W. Draper, states that only the light absorbed by the irradiated matter can effect photochemical change. Consequently, the photochemical behavior of a molecule can be controlled by bringing its absorbance properties in line with the emission of the light source. A compound with a chromophore that only absorbs light at short wavelengths will not be excited by light of longer wavelengths. If one can reversibly modify the photophysical properties of a compound with a chemical activator, then it is possible to photoexcite only the activated species. For α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, the use of Lewis acids, Brønsted acids, or the formation of the respective iminium ions can bring about the desired chromophore activation to catalyze a photochemical reaction at a given wavelength. In this Minireview, the concept of chromophore activation will be illustrated, and examples of its implementation in enantioselective catalysis will be discussed.

Abstract
The arene ring of the title compounds is cleaved by a reaction cascade which is initiated by an intramolecular ortho photocycloaddition reaction. Tricyclic products were obtained in a highly regio- and diastereoselective fashion via a cyclooctatriene intermediate. The facial diastereoselectivity exerted by a stereogenic center in the tether is moderate to good (dr = 65/35 to 82/18). Yields were acceptable (44-87%) except for a single substrate which had a geminal dimethyl substitution in the tether and which gave the respective product in only 14% yield. The reaction is stereoconvergent with regard to the olefin configuration ( E or Z) in agreement with a triplet mechanism of the ortho photocycloaddition step.

Abstract
Εniminium ions were prepared from the corresponding α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (enones and enals), and were found to be promoted to their respective triplet states by energy transfer. The photoexcited intermediates underwent intra- or intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition in good yields (50-78 %) upon irradiation at λ=433 nm or λ=457 nm. Iridium or ruthenium complexes with a sufficiently high triplet energy were identified as efficient catalysts (2.5 mol % catalyst loading) for the reaction. The intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of an eniminium ion derived from a chiral secondary amine proceeded with high enantioselectivity (88 % ee).

Abstract
1,3-Dithiane-protected enones (enone dithianes) were found to undergo an intramolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition under visible-light irradiation (λ=405 nm) in the presence of a Brønsted acid (7.5-10 mol %). Key to the success of the reaction is presumably the formation of colored thionium ions, which are intermediates of the catalytic cycle. Cyclobutanes were thus obtained in very good yields (78-90 %). It is also shown that the dithiane moiety can be reductively or oxidatively removed without affecting the photochemically constructed ring skeleton.

Abstract
The strong wind that was blowing in Brunnen on the 4th of May 2017 was prophetic of the storm of ideas and creativity that would later fall over the participants of the 52nd edition of the Bürgenstock conference.
