Abstract
Dearomative annulation reaction of acyl-tethered benzothiazole bisnucleophiles with β'-acetoxy allenoates by switching the Lewis base is developed. The DBU-catalyzed reaction gives benzothiazole-fused 1,4-dihydropyridine carboxylates by (3 + 3) annulation chemoselectively. By contrast, the PR3-catalyzed reaction gives benzothiazole-fused azepines by (4 + 3) annulation and cyclopentene carboxylates by (4 + 1) annulation; the ratio of the latter two products depends on the solvent. A possible rationale for the difference in the reactivity, based on the 1,4/1,5-addition of the 2-acyl-tethered benzothiazole to the key phosphonium intermediate, is provided.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions have evolved into an efficient strategy for accessing chiral polycyclic and spirocyclic scaffolds from readily available planar aromatics. Despite the significant developments, the CADA reaction of naphthalenes remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report a Gd(III)-catalyzed asymmetric dearomatization reaction of naphthalene with a chiral PyBox ligand via visible-light-enabled [4 + 2] cycloaddition. This reaction features application of a chiral Gd/PyBox complex, which regulates the reactivity and selectivity simultaneously, in excited-state catalysis. A wide range of functional groups is compatible with this protocol, giving the highly enantioenriched bridged polycycles in excellent yields (up to 96%) and selectivity (up to >20:1 chemoselectivity, >20:1 dr, >99% ee). The synthetic utility is demonstrated by a 2 mmol scale reaction, removal of directing group, and diversifications of products. Preliminary mechanistic experiments are performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
The cooperation of two distinct catalytic cycles to activate different reactive centers leading to a chemical transformation has been classified as synergistic catalysis. The synergistic combination of NHC with palladium catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in the last few years. Merging the ability of NHCs to inverse the polarity of a functional group with the unique reactivity of palladium enables transformations that cannot be accomplished by either of these catalysts alone. Despite the associated challenges, such as quenching of catalysts, reactivity mismatch etc., significant development has been achieved in the field of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis. The recent incorporation of photoredox catalysis with NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis has further advanced this area. This review highlights the developments made in the area of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric transformations by dearomatization have developed into a widely applicable synthetic strategy, but heavily relied on the use of arenes bearing a heteroatom. In this case, the dearomatization is facilitated by the involvement of a p-orbital electron of the heteroatom. Different from the conventional substrate-dependent model, here we demonstrate that the activation by a d-orbital electron of the transition-metal center can serve as a driving force for dearomatization, and is applied to the development of a novel asymmetric alkynyl copper facilitated remote substitution reaction. A newly modified PyBox chiral ligand enables the construction of valuable diarylmethyl and triarylmethyl skeletons in high enantioselectivities. An unexpected tandem process involving sequential remote substitution/cyclization/1,5-H shift leads to the formation of the enantioenriched C-N axis. A gram-scale reaction and various downstream transformations highlight the robustness of this method and the potential transformations of the products. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal a mononuclear Cu-catalyzed remote substitution process.

Abstract
Commercially available CF2Br2 has been used as a convenient source for the rapid and reliable incorporation of the gem-difluorovinyl motif into an allene framework via an N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed difluoroolefination of 1,3-enynes. The reaction proceeds through a cascade three-component radical relay/elimination process. This protocol is distinguished by its mild conditions, readily accessible starting materials, wide substrate scope, and ease of late-stage functionalization, thus unlocking an untraditional strategy to construct a new class of functionalized gem-difluorovinyl allenes.

Abstract
The stereoselective intramolecular dearomatizing spirocyclization of indoles via oxidative N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis to afford indolenines bearing an all-carbon quaternary center at the 3-position is reported. The reaction proceeds via the intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the indole to an in situ generated α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium. The cyclized indolenine bearing an acyl azolium functionality is trapped by a suitable external nucleophile that does not efficiently react with the α,β-unsaturated acyl azolium via direct acylation.
