Abstract
The creation of new functional molecules is a central task in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis of a new type of fluorophore, bisbenzo[f]isoindolylidenes, from easily accessible dipropargyl benzenesulfonamides. Wavelength-tunable fluorophores emitting strong fluorescence of green to red light were obtained in this reaction. Late-stage modifications and incorporation of bioactive molecules into these fluorophores give rise to potential applications in biological studies. Detailed computational and experimental studies were conducted to elucidate the mechanism, and suggest a reaction sequence involving Garratt-Braverman type cyclization, isomerization, fragmentation, dimerization and oxidation.

Abstract
The tetradehydro-Diels-Alder (TDDA) reaction is a useful transformation for the rapid assembly of polycyclic scaffolds from simple linear precursors in a single synthetic step. However, the reaction requires careful substrate design and harsh reaction conditions to overcome the inherent entropic cost for this transformation. Herein we report an efficient site-selective TDDA transformation within a self-assembled Pd6L4 cage. Despite the large size, the flexibility of the employed substrates allows for efficient encapsulation within the host cavity. The rate of thermal cyclization of the encapsulated guest was found to be greatly enhanced, and high product selectivity for an unsymmetrical substrate was observed. The efficiency of this system relies on the precise conformational control of the substrate within the confined space of the host cage.

Abstract
We have explored the net-[4 + 2]-cycloadditions of a variety of aryl (or alkenyl) alkynes. Tautomerization via base-catalyzed alkyne-to-allene isomerization produces a transient allene, which undergoes stepwise cyclization with not only a pendant alkyne but also a nitrile. The operative mechanisms for these reactions were studied by density functional theory and compared with the slower thermal cyclization of the precursor alkyne.
