Abstract
A [4+2] cycloaddition strategy to assemble phenanthren-9-yldiphenylphosphine oxides is reported. This reaction relies on the strategic use of readily available phenylallenyl phosphine oxides as dienes to participate in [4+2] cycloaddition with arynes. Notably, benzo[b][1,4]oxaphosphinin-4-iums can be controllably synthesized by simply tuning the substituents in the phosphine oxide unit through a [2+2] cycloaddition cascade.

Abstract
Skeletal editing is an important strategy in organic synthesis as it modifies the carbon backbone to tailor molecular structures with precision, enabling access to compounds with specific desired properties. Skeletal editing empowers chemists to transform synthetic approaches of target compounds across diverse applications from drug discovery to materials science. Herein, we introduce a new skeletal editing method to convert readily available aromatic carbonyl compounds into valuable unsaturated carboxylic acids with extended carbon chains. Our reaction setup enables a cascade reaction of enolization-[2+2]cycloaddition-[2+2]cycloreversion between aromatic carbonyl compounds and ketals of cyclic ketones to generate unsaturated carboxylic acids as ring-opening products. Through a simple design, our substrates are specifically activated to react at predetermined positions to enhance selectivity and efficiency. This practical method offers convenient access to versatile organic building blocks as well as provides fresh insights into manipulating traditional reaction pathways for new synthetic applications.

Abstract
Spacious M4 L6 tetrahedra can act as catalytic inhibitors for base-mediated reactions. Upon adding only 5 % of a self-assembled Fe4 L6 cage complex, the conversion of the conjugate addition between ethylcyanoacetate and β-nitrostyrene catalyzed by proton sponge can be reduced from 83 % after 75 mins at ambient temperature to <1 % under identical conditions. The mechanism of the catalytic inhibition is unusual: the octacationic Fe4 L6 cage increases the acidity of exogenous water in the acetonitrile reaction solvent by favorably binding the conjugate acid of the basic catalyst. The inhibition only occurs for Fe4 L6 hosts with spacious internal cavities: minimal inhibition is seen with smaller tetrahedra or Fe2 L3 helicates. The surprising tendency of the cationic cage to preferentially bind protonated, cationic ammonium guests is quantified via the comprehensive modeling of spectrophotometric titration datasets.

Abstract
Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis has introduced a new means for revealing the behavior of Lewis acids. In particular, this reaction has led to the observation of new solution behaviors for FeCl3 that may qualitatively change how we think of Lewis acid activation. For example, catalytic metathesis reactions operate in the presence of superstoichiometric amounts of carbonyl, resulting in the formation of highly ligated (octahedral) iron geometries. These structures display reduced activity, decreasing catalyst turnover. As a result, it is necessary to steer the Fe-center away from inhibiting pathways to improve the reaction efficiency and augment yields for recalcitrant substrates. Herein, we examine the impact of the addition of TMSCl to FeCl3-catalyzed carbonyl-olefin metathesis, specifically for substrates that are prone to byproduct inhibition. Through kinetic, spectroscopic, and colligative experiments, significant deviations from the baseline metathesis reactivity are observed, including mitigation of byproduct inhibition as well as an increase in the reaction rate. Quantum chemical simulations are used to explain how TMSCl induces a change in catalyst structure that leads to these kinetic differences. Collectively, these data are consistent with the formation of a silylium catalyst, which induces the reaction through carbonyl binding. The FeCl3 activation of Si-Cl bonds to give the silylium active species is expected to have significant utility in enacting carbonyl-based transformations.

Abstract
The hexameric assemblies of resorcinarenes and pyrogallolarenes are fascinating structures that can serve as nanoreactors in which new chemistry and catalysis occur. Recently, it was suggested based on SANS or SAXS that C11-resorcin[4]arene (1) forms octameric aggregates of a micellar rather than capsular structure in toluene. Here, using NMR spectroscopy, diffusion NMR, and DOSY performed on solutions of C11-resorcin[4]arene (1), C11-pyrogallol[4]arene (2), and mixtures thereof in protonated and deuterated solvents, we found that, in benzene and toluene, 1 primarily formed hexameric capsules accompanied by a minor product with diffusion characteristics consistent with an octameric assembly. In chloroform, 1 formed hexameric capsules. In toluene, 2D NMR revealed two populations of encapsulated toluene molecules in the same capsule of 1. The addition of tetrahexylammonium bromide to the assemblies of 1 in aromatic solvents drove the equilibrium toward the formation of the hexameric capsules. Interestingly, 2 formed only hexameric capsules in all solvents tested.

Abstract
The carbonyl-olefin metathesis (COM) reaction is an attractive approach for the formation of a new carbon-carbon double bond from a carbonyl precursor. In principle, this reaction can be promoted by the activation of the carbonyl group with a Brønsted acid catalyst; however, it is often complicated as a result of unwanted side reactions under acidic conditions. Thus, there have been only a very few examples of Brønsted-acid-catalyzed COM reactions, all of which required specially designed setups. Herein, we report a new practical homogeneous Brønsted-acid-catalyzed protocol using nitromethane, a readily available solvent, to promote intramolecular ring-closing COM reactions.

Abstract
Herein we describe a method for combining supramolecular catalysis with imininum-based organocatalysis in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. Both supramolecular host and L-proline are required for the reaction to occur, implying that encapsulation of the substrates and co-catalyst are necessary for the reaction to occur. We explore the substrate scope for a variety of E-cinnamaldehydes and dienes. Finally, we probe the supramolecular assembly processes responsible for the observed catalysis using NMR spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
The ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclopropenes using hydrazonium initiators is described. The initiators, which are formed by the condensation of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and an aldehyde, polymerize cyclopropene monomers by a sequence of [3+2] cycloaddition and cycloreversion reactions. This process generates short chain polyolefins (Mn ≤9.4 kg mol-1 ) with relatively low dispersities (Đ≤1.4). The optimized conditions showed efficiency comparable to that achieved with Grubbs' 2nd generation catalyst for the polymerization of 3-methyl-3-phenylcyclopropene. A positive correlation between monomer to initiator ratio and degree of polymerization was revealed through NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The employment of weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry offers an alternative approach to project artificial chemical environments like the active sites of enzymes. Discrete molecular architectures with defined shapes and geometries have become a revolutionary field of research in recent years because of their intrinsic porosity and ease of synthesis using dynamic non-covalent/covalent interactions. Several porous molecular cages have been constructed from simple building blocks by self-assembly, which undergoes many self-correction processes to form the final architecture. These supramolecular systems have been developed to demonstrate numerous applications, such as guest stabilization, drug delivery, catalysis, smart materials, and many other related fields. In this respect, catalysis in confined nanospaces using such supramolecular cages has seen significant growth over the years. These porous discrete cages contain suitable apertures for easy intake of substrates and smooth release of products to exhibit exceptional catalytic efficacy. This review highlights recent advancements in catalytic activity influenced by the nanocavities of hydrogen-bonded cages, metal-ligand coordination cages, and dynamic or reversible covalently bonded organic cages in different solvent media. Synthetic strategies for these three types of supramolecular systems are discussed briefly and follow similar and simplistic approaches manifested by simple starting materials and benign conditions. These examples demonstrate the progress of various functionalized molecular cages for specific chemical transformations in aqueous and nonaqueous media. Finally, we discuss the enduring challenges related to porous cage compounds that need to be overcome for further developments in this field of work.

Abstract
The carbonyl group stands as a fundamental scaffold and plays a ubiquitous role in synthetically important chemical reactions in both academic and industrial contexts. Venerable transformations, including the aldol reaction, Grignard reaction, Wittig reaction, and Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction, constitute a vast and empowering synthetic arsenal. Notwithstanding, two-electron mechanisms inherently confine the breadth of accessible reactivity and topological patterns.Fostered by the rapid development of photoredox catalysis, combing well-entrenched carbonyl addition and radicals can harness several unique and increasingly sustainable transformations. In particular, unusual carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom disconnections, which are out of reach of two-electron carbonyl chemistry, can be conceived. To meet this end, a novel strategy toward the utilization of simple carbonyl compounds as intermolecular radical acceptors was developed. The reaction is enabled by visible-light photoredox-initiated hole catalysis. In situ Brønsted acid activation of the carbonyl moiety prevents β-scission from occurring. Furthermore, this regioselective alkyl radical addition reaction obviates the use of metals, ligands, or additives, thus offering a high degree of atom economy under mild conditions. On the basis of the same concept and the work of Schindler and co-workers, carbonyl-olefin cross-metathesis, induced by visible light, has also been achieved, leveraging a radical Prins-elimination sequence.Recently, dual chromium and photoredox catalysis has been developed by us and Kanai, offering a complementary approach to the revered Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction. Leveraging the intertwined synergy between light and metal, several radical-to-polar crossover transformations toward eminent molecular motifs have been developed. Reactions such as the redox-neutral allylation of aldehydes and radical carbonyl alkylation can harvest the power of light and enable the use of catalytic chromium metal. Overall, exquisite levels of diastereoselectivity can be enforced via highly compact transition states. Other examples, such as the dialkylation of 1,3-dienes and radical carbonyl propargylation portray the versatile combination of radicals and carbonyl addition in multicomponent coupling endeavors. Highly valuable motifs, which commonly occur in complex drug and natural product architectures, can now be accessed in a single operational step. Going beyond carbonyl addition, seminal contributions from Fagnoni and MacMillan preconized photocatalytic HAT-based acyl radical formation as a key aldehyde valorization strategy. Our group articulated this concept, leveraging carboxy radicals as hydrogen atom abstractors in high regio- and chemoselective carbonyl alkynylation and aldehyde trifluoromethylthiolation.This Account, in addition to the narrative of our group and others' contributions at the interface between carbonyl addition and radical-based photochemistry, aims to provide core guiding foundations toward novel disruptive synthetic developments. We envisage that extending radical-to-polar crossovers beyond Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi manifolds, taming less-activated carbonyls, leveraging multicomponent processes, and merging single electron steps with energy-transfer events will propel eminent breakthroughs in the near future.

Abstract
Synthetic chemists have learned to mimic nature in using hydrogen bonds and other weak interactions to dictate the spatial arrangement of reaction substrates and to stabilize transition states to enable highly efficient and selective reactions. The activation of a catalyst molecule itself by hydrogen-bonding networks, in order to enhance its catalytic activity to achieve a desired reaction outcome, is less explored in organic synthesis, despite being a commonly found phenomenon in nature. Herein, we show our investigation into this underexplored area by studying the promotion of carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions by hydrogen-bonding-assisted Brønsted acid catalysis, using hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solvent in combination with para-toluenesulfonic acid (pTSA). Our experimental and computational mechanistic studies reveal not only an interesting role of HFIP solvent in assisting pTSA Brønsted acid catalyst, but also insightful knowledge about the current limitations of the carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction.

Abstract
![]()
Spatial sequestration
of molecules is a prerequisite for the complexity
of biological systems, enabling the occurrence of numerous, often
non-compatible chemical reactions and processes in one cell at the
same time. Inspired by this compartmentalization concept, chemists
design and synthesize artificial nanocontainers (capsules and cages)
and use them to mimic the biological complexity and for new applications
in recognition, separation, and catalysis. Here, we report the formation
of large closed-shell species by interactions of well-known polyphenolic
macrocycles with anions. It has been known since many years that C-alkyl
resorcin[4]arenes (R4C) and C-alkyl pyrogallol[4]arenes
(P4C) narcissistically self-assemble in nonpolar solvents
to form hydrogen-bonded capsules. Here, we show a new interaction
model that additionally involves anions as interacting partners and
leads to even larger capsular species. Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy
and titration experiments indicate that the anion-sealed species have
a diameter of >26 Å and suggest stoichiometry (M)6(X–)24 and tight ion pairing
with cations. This self-assembly is effective in a nonpolar environment
(THF and benzene but not in chloroform), however, requires initiation
by mechanochemistry (dry milling) in the case of non-compatible solubility.
Notably, it is common among various polyphenolic macrocycles (M) having diverse geometries and various conformational lability.

Abstract
Chiral pyrrolidine derivatives are important building blocks for natural product synthesis. Carbonyl olefin metathesis has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the construction of such building blocks from chiral amino acid derivatives. Here, we demonstrate that the supramolecular resorcinarene catalyst enables access to chiral 2,5-dihydropyrroles under Brønsted acid catalysis. Moreover, this catalytic system even tolerated Lewis-basic-protecting groups like mesylates that are not compatible with alternative catalysts. As expected for conversion inside a closed cavity, the product yield and selectivity depended on the size of the substrates.

Abstract
Compared with the impressive achievements of catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis (CCOM) mediated by Lewis acid catalysts, exploration of the CCOM through Brønsted acid-catalyzed approaches remains quite challenging. Herein, we disclose a synthetic protocol for the construction of a valuable polycycle scaffold through the CCOM with the inexpensive, nontoxic phosphomolybdic acid as a catalyst. The current annulations could realize carbonyl-olefin, carbonyl-alcohol, and acetal-alcohol in situ CCOM reactions and feature mild reaction conditions, simple manipulation, and scalability, making this strategy a promising alternative to the Lewis acid-catalyzed COM reaction.

Abstract
An oxocarbenium-olefin cross metathesis occurs during Brønsted acid catalyzed reactions of 1H-isochromene acetals with vinyl diazo compounds. Formally a carbonyl-alkene [2 + 2]-cyclization between isobenzopyrylium ions and the vinyl group of vinyl diazoesters, the retro-[2 + 2] cycloaddition produces a tethered alkene and a vinyl diazonium ion that, upon loss of dinitrogen, undergoes a highly selective carbocationic cascade rearrangements to diverse products whose formation is controlled by reactant substituents. Polysubstituted benzobicyclo[3.3.1]oxocines, benzobicyclo[3.2.2]oxepines, benzobicyclopropane, and naphthalenes are obtained in good to excellent yields and selectivities. Furthermore, isotopic tracer and control experiments shed light on the oxocarbenium-olefin metathesis/rearrangement process as well as on the origin of the interesting substituent-dependent selectivity.

Abstract
A self-assembled Fe4L6 cage with internally oriented carboxylic acid functions was shown to catalyze a variety of dissociative nucleophilic substitution reactions that proceed via oxocarbenium ion or carbocation intermediates. The catalytic behavior of the cage was compared to that of other small acid catalysts, which illustrated large differences in reactivity of the cage-catalyzed reactions, dependent on the structure of the substrate. For example, only a 5% cage confers a 1000-fold rate acceleration of the thioetherification of vinyldiphenylmethanol when compared to the rate with free carboxylic acid surrogates but only a 52-fold acceleration in the formation of small thioacetals. Multiple factors control the variable reactivity in the host, including substrate inhibition, binding affinity, and accessibility of reactive groups once bound. Simple effective concentration increases or the overall charge of the cage does not explain the variations in reactivity shown by highly similar reactants in the host: small differences in structure can have large effects on reactivity. Reaction of large spherical guests is highly dependent on substitution, whereas flat guests are almost unaffected by size and shape differences. The cage is a promiscuous catalyst but has strong selectivity for particular substrate shapes, reminiscent of enzymatic activity.

Abstract
This Review describes the development of strategies for carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions relying on stepwise, stoichiometric, or catalytic approaches. A comprehensive overview of currently available methods is provided starting with Paternò-Büchi cycloadditions between carbonyls and alkenes, followed by fragmentation of the resulting oxetanes, metal alkylidene-mediated strategies, [3 + 2]-cycloaddition approaches with strained hydrazines as organocatalysts, Lewis acid-mediated and Lewis acid-catalyzed strategies relying on the formation of intermediate oxetanes, and protocols based on initial carbon-carbon bond formation between carbonyls and alkenes and subsequent Grob-fragmentations. The Review concludes with an overview of applications of these currently available methods for carbonyl-olefin metathesis in complex molecule synthesis. Over the past eight years, the field of carbonyl-olefin metathesis has grown significantly and expanded from stoichiometric reaction protocols to efficient catalytic strategies for ring-closing, ring-opening, and cross carbonyl-olefin metathesis. The aim of this Review is to capture the status quo of the field and is expected to contribute to further advancements in carbonyl-olefin metathesis in the coming years.

Abstract
The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity (alteration of the innate selectivity of a reaction, e.g. selective functionalization of C-H bonds) and regulation (switch ON/OFF, sequential catalysis, etc.). Supramolecular tools such as reversible association and recognition, pre-organization of reactants and stabilization of transition states upon binding offer a unique chance to achieve the above goals disclosing new horizons whose potential is being increasingly recognized and used, sometimes reaching the degree of ripeness for practical use. This review summarizes the main developments that have opened such new frontiers, with the aim of providing a guide to researchers approaching the field. We focus on artificial supramolecular catalysts of defined stoichiometry which, under homogeneous conditions, unlock outcomes that are highly difficult if not impossible to attain otherwise, namely unnatural reactivity or selectivity and catalysis regulation. The different strategies recently explored in supramolecular catalysis are concisely presented, and, for each one, a single or very few examples is/are described (mainly last 10 years, with only milestone older works discussed). The subject is divided into four sections in light of the key design principle: (i) nanoconfinement of reactants, (ii) recognition-driven catalysis, (iii) catalysis regulation by molecular machines and (iv) processive catalysis.

Abstract
Lewis acid catalysts have been shown to promote carbonyl-olefin metathesis through a critical four-membered-ring oxetane intermediate. Recently, Brønsted-acid catalysis of related substrates was similarly proposed to result in a transient oxetane, which fragments within a single elementary step via a postulated oxygen-atom transfer mechanism. Herein, careful quantum chemical investigations show that Brønsted acid (triflic acid, TfOH) instead invokes a mechanistic switch to a carbonyl-ene reaction, and oxygen-atom transfer is uncompetitive. TfOH's conjugate base is also found to rearrange H atoms and allow isomerization of the carbocations that appear after the carbonyl-ene reaction. The mechanism explains available experimental information, including the skipped diene species that appear transiently before product formation. The present study clarifies the mechanism for activation of intramolecular carbonyl-olefin substrates by Brønsted acids and provides important insights that will help develop this exciting class of catalysts.

Quantum chemical calculations were used to study the reaction of carboxylic acids with isonitriles inside a resorcinarene-based self-assembled capsule. Experimentally, it has been shown that the reactions between p-tolylacetic acid and n-butyl isonitrile or isopropyl isonitrile behave differently in the presence of the capsule compared both with each other and also with their solution counterparts. Herein, the reasons for these divergent behaviors are addressed by comparing the detailed energy profiles for the reactions of the two isonitriles inside and outside the capsule. An energy decomposition analysis was conducted to quantify the different factors affecting the reactivity. The calculations reproduce the experimental findings very well. Thus, encapsulation leads to lowering of the energy barrier for the first step of the reaction, the concerted α-addition and proton transfer, which in solution is rate-determining, and this explains the rate acceleration observed in the presence of the capsule. The barrier for the final step of the reaction, the 1,3 O→N acyl transfer, is calculated to be higher with the isopropyl substituent inside the capsule compared with n-butyl. With the isopropyl substituent, the transition state and the product of this step are significantly shorter than the preceding intermediate, and this results in energetically unfavorable empty spaces inside the capsule, which cause a higher barrier. With the n-butyl substituent, on the other hand, the carbon chain can untwine and hence uphold an appropriate guest length.

Abstract
The synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines by the hydrazine-catalyzed ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis (RCCOM) of N-prenylated 2-aminobenzaldehydes is reported. Substrates with a variety of substitution patterns are shown. With an acid-labile protecting group on the nitrogen atom, in situ deprotection and autoxidation furnish quinoline. In comparison with related oxygen-containing substrates, the cycloaddition step of the catalytic cycle is shown to be slower, but the cycloreversion is found to be more facile.

Abstract
A computational and experimental study of the hydrazine-catalyzed ring-opening carbonyl-olefin metathesis of norbornenes is described. Detailed theoretical investigation of the energetic landscape for the full reaction pathway with six different hydrazines revealed several crucial aspects for the design of next-generation hydrazine catalysts. This study indicated that a [2.2.2]-bicyclic hydrazine should offer substantially increased reactivity versus the previously reported [2.2.1]-hydrazine due to a lowered activation barrier for the rate-determining cycloreversion step, a prediction which was verified experimentally. Optimized conditions for both cycloaddition and cycloreversion steps were identified, and a brief substrate scope study for each was conducted. A complication for catalysis was found to be the slow hydrolysis of the ring-opened hydrazonium intermediates, which were shown to suffer from a competitive and irreversible cycloaddition with a second equivalent of norbornene. This problem was overcome by the strategic incorporation of a bridgehead methyl group on the norbornene ring, leading to the first demonstrated catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis of norbornene rings.

Abstract
The construction of carbon-carbon bond through the metathesis reactions between carbonyls
and olefins or alkynes has attracted significant interest in organic chemistry due to its high atomeconomy
and efficiency. In this regard, carbonyl–alkyne metathesis is well developed and widely used
in organic synthesis for the atom-efficient construction of various carbocycles and heterocycles in the
presence of catalytic Lewis acids or Brønsted acids. On the other hand, alkene-carbonyl metathesis is
recently developed and has been a topic of great importance in the field of organic chemistry because
they possess attractive qualities involving metal-mediated, metal-free intramolecular, photochemical,
Lewis acid-mediated ring-closing metathesis, ring-opening metathesis and cross-metathesis. This review
covers most of the strategies of carbonyl–alkyne and carbonyl–olefin metathesis reactions in the
synthesis of complex molecules, natural products and pharmaceuticals as well as provides an overview
of exploration of the metathesis reactions with high atom-economy as well as environmentally and
ecologically benign reaction conditions.

Abstract
The hexameric resorcin[4]arene supramolecular assembly has attracted significant interest as a self-assembled capsule that exhibits dynamic host-guest chemistry. Many studies have been carried out to investigate the structure and thermodynamics of the assembly, but considerably less is known about its dynamical properties. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the timescales of water encapsulation in this assembly in wet chloroform. We have previously shown [A. Katiyar et al., Chem. Commun. 2019, 55, 6591-6594] that at low water content there are three distinct populations of water molecules present, while at higher water content an additional population, long water chains interacting with the assembly, appears. The relative free energies of these different water positions are calculated and time correlation functions are used to determine the timescales for interconversion between the populations. This analysis demonstrates that the water molecules are in rapid exchange with each other on timescales of tens of ps to a few ns, and suggests that water molecules might be acting as a critical component in the guest exchange mechanism.

Abstract
The carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction has experienced significant advances in the last seven years with new catalysts and reaction protocols. However, most of these procedures involve soluble catalysts for intramolecular reactions in batch. Herein, we show that recoverable, inexpensive, easy to handle, non-toxic, and widely available simple solid acids, such as the aluminosilicate montmorillonite, can catalyze the intermolecular carbonyl-olefin metathesis of aromatic ketones and aldehydes with vinyl ethers in-flow, to give alkenes with complete trans stereoselectivity on multi-gram scale and high yields. Experimental and computational data support a mechanism based on a carbocation-induced Grob fragmentation. These results open the way for the industrial implementation of carbonyl-olefin metathesis over solid catalysts in continuous mode, which is still the origin and main application of the parent alkene-alkene cross-metathesis.

Abstract
Lewis acid-activation of carbonyl-containing substrates is a fundamental basis for facilitating transformations in organic chemistry. Historically, characterization of these interactions has been limited to models equivalent to stoichiometric reactions. Here, we report a method utilizing in situ infrared spectroscopy to probe the solution interactions between Lewis acids and carbonyls under synthetically relevant conditions. Using this method, we were able to identify 1:1 complexation between GaCl3 and acetone and a highly ligated complex for FeCl3 and acetone. The impact of this technique on mechanistic understanding is illustrated by application to the mechanism of Lewis acid-mediated carbonyl-olefin metathesis in which we were able to observe competitive binding interactions between substrate carbonyl and product carbonyl with the catalyst.

Abstract
Compared with the ripeness of olefin metathesis, exploration of the construction of carbon-carbon double bonds through the catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction remains stagnant and has received scant attention. Herein, a highly efficient AuCl3 -catalyzed intramolecular ring-closing carbonyl-olefin metathesis reaction is described. This method features easily accessible starting materials, simple operation, good functional-group tolerance and short reaction times, and provides the target cyclopentenes, polycycles, benzocarbocycles, and N-heterocycle derivatives in good to excellent yields.

Our results suggest that the capsule can play a double catalytic role as a H-bond catalyst, for the initial activation of the carbonyl substrate, and as a Brønsted acid catalyst, for the dehydration of the intermediate alcohol.
