Abstract
The chemistry of quinone methides formed in situ has been flourishing in recent years. In sharp contrast, the development and utilization of biphenyl quinone methides are rare. In this study, we achieved a remote stereocontrolled 1,12-conjugate addition of biphenyl quinone methides formed in situ for the first time. In the presence of a suitable chiral phosphoric acid, alkynyl biphenyl quinone methides were generated from α-[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)phenyl]propargyl alcohols, followed by enantioselective 1,12-conjugate addition with indole-2-carboxylates. The strategy enabled the alcohols to serve as efficient allenylation reagents, providing practical access to a broad range of axially chiral allenes bearing a (1,1'-biphenyl)-4-ol unit, which were previously less accessible. Combined with control experiments, density functional theory calculations shed light on the reaction mechanism, indicating that enantioselectivity originates from the nucleophilic addition of alkynyl biphenyl quinone methides. Notably, not only the presence of biphenyl quinone methides as versatile intermediates was confirmed but also organocatalytic enantioselective 1,12-addition was established.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most complex, dynamic and abundant sources of organic carbon, but its chemical reactivity remains uncertain1-3. Greater insights into DOM structural features could facilitate understanding its synthesis, turnover and processing in the global carbon cycle4,5. Here we use complementary multiplicity-edited 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra to quantify key substructures assembling the carbon skeletons of DOM from four main Amazon rivers and two mid-size Swedish boreal lakes. We find that one type of reaction mechanism, oxidative dearomatization (ODA), widely used in organic synthetic chemistry to create natural product scaffolds6-10, is probably a key driver for generating structural diversity during processing of DOM that are rich in suitable polyphenolic precursor molecules. Our data suggest a high abundance of tetrahedral quaternary carbons bound to one oxygen and three carbon atoms (OCqC3 units). These units are rare in common biomolecules but could be readily produced by ODA of lignin-derived and tannin-derived polyphenols. Tautomerization of (poly)phenols by ODA creates non-planar cyclohexadienones, which are subject to immediate and parallel cycloadditions. This combination leads to a proliferation of structural diversity of DOM compounds from early stages of DOM processing, with an increase in oxygenated aliphatic structures. Overall, we propose that ODA is a key reaction mechanism for complexity acceleration in the processing of DOM molecules, creation of new oxygenated aliphatic molecules and that it could be prevalent in nature.

Abstract
The thia-Diels-Alder reaction represents a versatile synthetic method for the preparation of six-membered sulfur-containing compounds. However, the mechanism of the thia-Diels-Alder reactions remains unclear. In this work, time-resolved spectroscopic experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate that phenacyl sulfide undergoes Norrish II cleavage to produce thioaldehyde, and ortho-hydroxy benzhydryl alcohol occurs in a dehydration reaction to generate o-QMs using diphenylphosphate as the catalyst. Then, the thia-Diels-Alder reaction takes place between thioaldehyde and o-QMs by an asynchronous concerted mechanism. The illustration of the thia-Diels-Alder reaction mechanism not only provides important support for organic synthesis and drug design but also enhances fundamental insights into reaction pathways and catalytic processes in the field of chemical synthesis.

Abstract
This work describes the reactivity and properties of fluorinated derivatives (F-PD and F-PDO) of plasmodione (PD) and its metabolite, the plasmodione oxide (PDO). Introduction of a fluorine atom on the 2-methyl group markedly alters the redox properties of the 1,4-naphthoquinone electrophore, making the compound highly oxidizing and particularly photoreactive. A fruitful set of analytical methods (electrochemistry, absorption and emission spectrophotometry, and HRMS-ESI) have been used to highlight the products resulting from UV photoirradiation in the absence or presence of selected nucleophiles. With F-PDO and in the absence of nucleophile, photoreduction generates a highly reactive ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) capable of leading to the formation of a homodimer. In the presence of thiol nucleophiles such as β-mercaptoethanol, which was used as a model, o-QMs are continuously regenerated in sequential photoredox reactions generating mono- or disulfanylation products as well as various unreported sulfanyl products. Besides, these photoreduced adducts derived from F-PDO are characterized by a bright yellowish emission due to an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process between the dihydronapthoquinone and benzoyl units. In order to evidence the possibility of an intramolecular coupling of the o-QM intermediate, a synthetic route to the corresponding anthrones is described. Tautomerization of the targeted anthrones occurs and affords highly fluorescent stable hydroxyl-anthraquinones. Although probable to explain the intense visible fluorescence emission also observed in tobacco BY-2 cells used as a cellular model, these coupling products have never been observed during the photochemical reactions performed in this study. Our data suggest that the observed ESIPT-induced fluorescence most likely corresponds to the generation of alkylated products through reduction species, as demonstrated with the β-mercaptoethanol model. In conclusion, F-PDO thus acts as a novel (pro)-fluorescent probe for monitoring redox processes and protein alkylation in living cells.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel cascade reaction of caesium carbonate-promoted Michael addition and lactonization for the one-pot synthesis of 3-alkyl-3-N-substituted aminobenzofuran-2(3H)-one derivatives has been established based on the screening of the alkaline reagents and optimization of reaction conditions, in which the N-substituted (ortho-hydroxy)aryl glycine esters were used as the Michael donors to react with different α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. In the case of using the asymmetric starting material, the epimers could be successfully separated by conventional chromatography. In addition, plausible mechanisms were suggested and the absolute configuration of the epimer was analysed. All the chemical structures of unreported benzofuran-2(3H)-one derivatives were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, IR and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).

Abstract
A synthetic strategy based on biogenetic building blocks for the collective and divergent biomimetic synthesis of cleistoperlones A-F, a cinnamoylphloroglucinol collection discovered from Cleistocalyx operculatus, has been developed. These syntheses proceeded successfully in only six to seven steps starting from commercially available 1,3,5-benzenetriol and involving oxidative activation of stable biogenetic building blocks as a crucial step. Key features of the syntheses include a unique Michael addition/ketalization/1,6-addition/enol-keto tautomerism cascade reaction for the construction of the dihydropyrano[3,2-d]xanthene tetracyclic core of cleistoperlones A and B, and a rare inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder cycloaddition for the establishment of benzopyran ring in cleistoperlones D-F. Moreover, cleistoperlone A exhibited significant antiviral activity against acyclovir-resistant strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1/Blue and HSV-1/153).

Abstract
A visible light-promoted radical (3+3) annulation of vinyldiazo compounds and bromodifluoromethyl alkynyl ketones for the construction of gem-difluoro-masked o-quinone methides (o-QMs) is described. The reactivity of this new type of o-QM precursor is demonstrated by its (4+1) cycloaddition with sulfur ylides, affording monofluorinated aromatic benzofurans by the elimination of HBr without external oxidants.

Abstract
Organocatalytic methodologies for the derivatization of o-QM, p-QM and the analogous aza-QM have been recently developed and involve different catalytic systems such as phosphoric acids, thioureas, squaramides, NHC carbenes or chiral ammonium salts. Besides, phosphines, commonly used as ligands in metal-catalysed reactions, can be also used as organocatalysts. In this case, they are mainly involved as nucleophilic catalysts in reactions such as the Rauhut-Currier (RC) reaction. In this review, an analysis of the recent developments in racemic and enantioselective phosphine-catalysed transformations of o-QM, p-QM and aza-o-QM has been carried out.

Abstract
Bicyclic boronates play critical roles in the discovery of functional materials and antibacterial agents, especially against deadly bacterial pathogens. Their practical and convenient preparation is in high demand but with great challenge. Herein, we report an efficient strategy for the preparation of bicyclic boronates through metal-free heteroatom-directed alkenyl sp2-C‒H borylation. This synthetic approach exhibits good functional group compatibility, and the corresponding boronates bearing halides, aryls, acyclic and cyclic frameworks are obtained with high yields (43 examples, up to 95% yield). Furthermore, a gram-scale experiment is conducted, and downstream transformations of the bicyclic boronates are pursued to afford natural products, drug scaffolds, and chiral hemiboronic acid catalysts.

Abstract
Quinone methides are well-established intermediates in asymmetric synthesis. In contrast, their extended analogues with the carbonyl and methide units distributed across two different rings have not been exploited in asymmetric synthesis. Herein, we achieved the first asymmetric process involving such intermediates. Specifically, the use of suitable chiral phosphoric acids enabled in situ generation of 2-naphthoquinone 8-methides and the corresponding aza counterparts for mild one-pot asymmetric nucleophilic addition. These processes provided rapid access to a wide range of previously less accessible remotely chiral naphthols and naphthylamines with both high efficiency and excellent enantioselectivity. Control experiment and DFT calculations provided important insights into the reaction mechanism, which likely involves two phosphoric acid molecules in the enantiodetermining transition states. This work serves as a proof of concept for the exploitation of new types of extended quinone methides as versatile intermediates for asymmetric synthesis, thus providing a new platform for the efficient construction of remote benzylic stereogenic centers of aromatic compounds.

Abstract
A facile and regioselective Lewis acid-catalyzed cascade annulation of o-hydroxyphenyl propargyl amines with 4-hydroxycoumarin to afford furano[3,2-c]coumarin and pyrano[3,2-c]coumarin derivatives is reported. The reaction presumably proceeds by the conjugate addition of 4-hydroxycoumarin to the in situ-generated alkynyl o-quinone methide and is followed by intramolecular 5-exo-dig and 6-endo-dig annulation to form furano[3,2-c]coumarins and pyrano[3,2-c]coumarins, respectively. The prepared o-hydroxyl substituted pyrano[3,2-c]coumarins could be readily transformed into the corresponding coumarin-derived dioxabicycles by acid-mediated cyclization.

Abstract
A metal-, chloride reagent and base-free thiophosphorylation reaction of in situ formed ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) to synthesize functionalized thiophosphates has been developed. The reaction is an atom-economical process, producing water as the sole byproduct. (EtO)2P(O)SH functions as both a Brønsted acid and nucleophilic thiolate to produce the o-QM intermediate and the thiophosphate product, respectively. The aza o-QMs were also successfully thiophosphorylated in the presence of catalytic TsOH to form sulfonamido thiophosphates.

Abstract
We disclose herein an enantioselective protocol for the Brønsted acid catalyzed addition of naphthols to in situ generated naphthol-derived ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) followed by intramolecular cyclization, which delivers substituted chiral xanthene derivatives, in a one-pot reaction sequence under mild conditions. This process serves to convert naphthol-derived ortho-hydroxyl benzylic alcohols into reactive naphthol-derived o-QMs using a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyst. Moreover, it is helpful in controlling the enantioselectivity of the carbon-carbon bond-forming event via hydrogen-bonding followed by intramolecular cyclization. Additionally, for the first time, we observe a Brønsted acid catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond cleavage of naphthol-derived ortho-hydroxyl benzylic alcohols for the synthesis of achiral xanthene (sigma plane containing) derivatives in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Ten novel meroterpenoids, dryoptins/11″-epi-dryoptins A~E (1: ~10: ) with an unprecedented skeleton consisting of dimeric or trimeric acylphloroglucinols and dehydrotheonelline, two undescribed acylphloroglucinol-nerolidol meroterpenoids (11: ~12: ), and ten known acylphloroglucinol derivatives (13: ~22: ), were isolated from D. crassirhizoma. The novel structures including absolute configurations were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. A biosynthetic pathway of 1: ~10: was assumed. The trimeric acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids 7: /8: showed significant antifungal activity against standard Candida albicans with a MIC50 value of 1.61 µg/mL [fluconazole (FLC): 3.41 µg/mL], and when combined with FLC, the principal components 20: and 21: exhibited strong antifungal activities against FLC-resistant C. albicans with MIC50 values of 8.39 and 7.16 µg/mL (FLC: > 100 µg/mL), respectively. Moreover, compounds 2, 5: /6, 18, 19: , and 21: exhibited inhibitory effects against several pathogenic fungi and bacteria, with MIC50 values of 6.25 ~ 50 µg/mL.

Abstract
Over the years, quinone methides have broadly been applied in synthesis and biological systems for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds and biologically active molecules. In this feature article, we have discussed the novel and uncovered reactivity of o-quinone methides, p-quinone methides, aza-o-quinone methides, and indolyl-2-methides with carbenes generated from α-diazocarbonyl compounds and related compounds. Two in situ-generated transient intermediates undergo cycloannulation reactions, metathesis-type reactions, 1,6-conjugate addition reactions, cyclopropanation reactions, and many other transformations to access nitrogen- and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds and beyond. The reactivity of quinone methides and carbenes is observed in various metal catalysts, Brønsted-acids, Lewis acids, phase transfer catalysts, additives, and visible-light-induced transformations.

Abstract
This paper describes theoretical reaction pathways of alkoxybenzyl derivatives of resorcin[4]arene leading to the formation of o-quinomethide derivatives of resorcin[4]arene (o-QMR[4]A). For each case, the activation energies for the formation of one o-QMR[4]A unit and the activation energies for the backward reaction were calculated. Based on the calculated reaction pathways, the reaction mechanism of o-QMR[4]A formation was proposed. Using the example of o-QMR[4]A generated from a methoxy derivative of resorcin[4]arene, the activation energies with selected nucleophiles were calculated and the reaction mechanisms discussed. Reaction path calculations were performed using the nudged elastic band method and semiempirical extended tight-binding method (GFN2-xTB). Using hydroxybenzyl derivatives of resorcin[4]arene as an example, a comparison of calculated activation energies by selected density-functional theory methods with GFN2-xTB and B97-3c geometries was performed. B97-3c and wB97XD methods were used to calculate the energies of the reactants (R), transition states (TS) and products (P) of the analysed reactions. Theoretical reaction mechanisms were discussed with respect to the orbital-weighted Fukui dual descriptor (Δfw ) and experimental data.

Abstract
Azahetereocycles constitute important structural components in many biologically active natural compounds and marketed drugs, and represent the most promising scaffolds in drug discovery. Accordingly, the development of efficient and general synthetic methods for the construction of diverse azaheterocycles is the major goal in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we report the efficient construction of a wide range of azaheterocycles via a Pd-catalyzed migratory cycloannulation strategy with unactivated alkenes. This strategy enables the rapid synthesis of a series of 6-, 7- and 8-membered azaheterocycles in high efficiency, and features a broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance under redox-neutral conditions. The significance of this finding is demonstrated by the efficient synthesis of drug-like molecules with high step-economy. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal that this reaction underwent a sequentially migratory insertion to alkenes, metal migration process, and the aza-Michael addition to a quinone methide intermediate.

Abstract
The implementation of ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) intermediates in complex molecule assembly represents a remarkably efficient strategy designed by Nature and utilized by synthetic chemists. o-QMs have been taken advantage of in biomimetic syntheses for decades, yet relatively few examples of o-QM-generating enzymes in natural product biosynthetic pathways have been reported. The biosynthetic enzymes that have been discovered thus far exhibit tremendous potential for biocatalytic applications, enabling the selective production of desirable compounds that are otherwise intractable or inherently difficult to achieve by traditional synthetic methods. Characterization of this biosynthetic machinery has the potential to shine a light on new enzymes capable of similar chemistry on diverse substrates, thus expanding our knowledge of Nature's catalytic repertoire. The presently known o-QM-generating enzymes include flavin-dependent oxidases, hetero-Diels-Alderases, S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent pericyclases, and α-ketoglutarate-dependent nonheme iron enzymes. In this review, we discuss their diverse enzymatic mechanisms and potential as biocatalysts in constructing natural product molecules such as cannabinoids.

Abstract
The ultrafast photochemical reaction of quinone methide (QM) formation from adamantylphenol was monitored in real time using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence upconversion in solution at room temperature. Experiments were complemented by theoretical studies simulating the reaction pathway and elucidating its mechanism. Excitation with sub-20 fs UV pulses and broadband probing revealed ultrafast formation of the long-lived QM intermediate directly in the ground state, occurring with a time constant of around 100 fs. UV-vis transient absorption data covering temporal dynamics from femtoseconds to hundreds of milliseconds revealed persistence of the absorption band assigned to QM and partially overlapped with other contributions tentatively assigned to triplet excited states of the adamantyl derivative and the phenoxyl radical that are clearly distinguished by their evolution on different time scales. Our data, together with the computations, provide evidence of a non-adiabatic photodehydration reaction, which leads to the formation of QM in the ground state via a conical intersection, circumventing the generation of a transient QM excited state. Photochemical formation of quinone methide from adamantylphenol was investigated computationally and experimentally, showing evidence of ultrafast non-adiabatic dehydration via a conical intersection.![]()

Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive overview of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) that proceed via ortho-quinone methide intermediates (o-QM) generated in the reaction medium. Examples of applications involving these highly reactive intermediates in organic synthesis and biological processes (e. g., biosynthetic pathways, prodrug cleavage and electrophilic capture of biological nucleophiles) are also described. QMs are often generated by eliminative processes of phenol derivatives or by photochemical reactions, including reversible generation in photochromic substances. This class of compounds can undergo various reaction types, including nucleophilic attack at the methide carbon, with subsequent rearomatization, and react with electron-rich dienophiles in inverse-electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder reactions. Its versatile reactivity has been explored in the context of cascade reactions for the construction of several classes of substances, including complex natural products.

Abstract
Twenty-four racemic acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids including eighteen unusual stuctures (3 ∼ 10, 13, 14, and 17 ∼ 24), and a major component filixic acid ABA (25), were isolated from Dryopteris crassirhizoma. Structurally, the dimeric acylphloroglucinol derivatives possess unprecedented skeletons of mixed acylphloroglucinol and sesquiterpene biosynthetic origin. The stereochemistries of six reported meroterpenoids with undefined chiral centers were reassigned. Two intriguing methods by analyzing a) the regularity of chemical shift variation of protons and carbons around the stereogenic centers, and b) pyridine-induced deshielding effect of hydroxy groups, to discriminate relative configurations of flexible long-chain alcohol with chiral centers separated by three or seven covalent bonds, were successfully applied. A non-enzymatic biosynthesis of 1 ∼ 24 was assumed based on a rare single-crystal cluster formed with two diastereomeric enantiomer pairs (±1/±2) and chiral HPLC analyses. Meroterpenoids 13 and 14 showed obvious inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7, and suppressed the expression of iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β, and IL-18. Their anti-inflammatory activity was closely related to the inhibition of the formation and function of inflammasomes. Additionally, the known 25 showed antiviral efficacy against the influenza viruse A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1).

Abstract
A series of indolyl or imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl-substituted para-quinone methides (p-QMs) is prepared by a metal-free, TEMPO-mediated cross-dehydrogenative coupling of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) with indoles or imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines in good to high yields. Broad substrate scope with respect to indoles and imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines, good functional group tolerance, and acid/base-free conditions are advantageous feature of the developed protocol. The method was amenable for scale-up on the gram scale. Based on control experiments, a reaction mechanism is proposed to describe this transformation.

Abstract
β-Keto acids, ideal surrogates of inactive ketones, play an important role in organic synthesis. The asymmetric decarboxylative reaction using β-keto acids is the one which is being studied the most. Herein we present a comprehensive review on this research topic, which is generally classified according to different catalytic systems and chiral induction modes. Additionally, some extended utilities of these methodologies for synthesizing bioactive compounds were also summarized. This review will facilitate the synthetic community to understand the role of β-keto acids in asymmetric reactions, providing many new opportunities for further exploration in this field.

Abstract
We report asymmetric [4 + 3] annulations between isatin-derived Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates and two types of vinyl carbonates synergistically catalyzed by tertiary amines and transition metals, through chemoselective assemblies of in situ formed allylic ylides and metal-containing 1,4-dipoles. A range of oxepane frameworks are generally constructed in moderate to good yields with high stereocontrol. Moreover, all four diastereomers for the products bearing vicinal stereocenters are accessible by tuning tertiary amine and metal catalysts.

Abstract
In the last few years, there has been an explosive growth in the area of para-quinone methide (p-QM) chemistry. This boom is actually due to the unique reactivity pattern of p-QMs, and also their remarkable synthetic applications. In fact, p-QMs serve as synthons for unsymmetrical diaryl- and triarylmethanes, and also for the construction of diverse range of carbocycles and heterocycles. In the last few years, a wide range of structurally complex heterocyclic frameworks could be accessed through the synthetic transformations of structurally modified stable p-QMs. Therefore, the main focus of this review article is to cover the recent advancements in the transition-metal, Lewis acid and base-catalyzed/mediated synthetic transformations of the stable p-quinone methides (p-QMs) to oxygen- and nitrogen-containing heterocycles.

Abstract
A simple arylamine-catalyzed Mannich-cyclization cascade reaction was developed for facile synthesis of substituted 2H-benzo[h]chromenes. The notable feature of the process included the efficient generation of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) catalyzed by a simple aniline. The mild reaction conditions allowed for a broad spectrum of 1- and 2-naphthols and trans-cinnamaldehydes to engage in the cascade sequence with high efficiency.

Abstract
In recent decades, o-quinone methides and o-quinone sulfides have been extensively highlighted as reactive intermediates for the synthesis of diversely functionalized ortho-disubstituted arenes and heterocycles. Additionally, ortho-disubstituted arenes offer a constructive path for the synthesis of fused carbocycles, heterocycles, natural products, and drug candidates. In the lieu of that, this Synopsis highlights a comprehensive overview on the potential applications of in situ generated o-quinone methides and o-quinone sulfides for one-pot synthesis of ortho-disubstituted arenes and heterocycles via arynes.

Abstract
A cooperative, one-pot approach for the in situ generation and ensuing cycloaddition of thioaldehydes and ortho-quinone methides transiently formed under irradiation with UV-A light and Brønsted acid catalysis, respectively, has been developed giving direct access to benzo[e][1,3]oxathiines in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. Both electron-rich and electron-poor thioaldehydes easily react with a broad range of ortho-quinone methides at ambient temperature in a short reaction time to furnish a wide variety of S,O-heterocycles.

Abstract
A novel and versatile approach to construct 12-phenacyl-11H-benzo[b]xanthene-6,11(12H)-dione derivatives through copper-catalyzed cascade reaction of propargylamines with 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones has been developed. The procedure is proposed to go through a sequence of 1,4-conjugate addition, intramolecular nucleophilic addition/dehydration, and hydrolysis of alkyne followed by an enol-ketone tautomerization. The reaction provides a new and highly efficient method for the synthesis of 12-phenacyl-11H-benzo[b]xanthene-6,11(12H)-diones by formation of three new bonds and one heterocycle from readily available starting materials in good to high yields (70-88%) with broad functional group compatibility in a single step.

Abstract
A series of hybrid dimers having orthogonal steroidal cores bridged by a chroman ketal moiety were obtained by Pd-catalyzed three-component reactions of steroid alkynols, 2-formylestradiol 17-monoacetate, and methyl orthoformate, via ortho-quinone methide intermediates. One of the obtained L-shaped scaffolds showed an inefficient crystal packing featuring large channels within the crystal array. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that these voids preferentially allocate n-hexane, opening the way to explore further applications of similar organic crystalline materials as selective hosts for small molecules.

Abstract
We report here a guest-reaction-induced mitosis-like host transformation from a known Pd4 L2 cage 1 to a conjoined Pd6 L3 twin-cage 2 featuring two separate cavities. The encapsulation of 1-hydroxymethyl-2-naphthol (G1), a known ortho-quinone methide (o-QMs) precursor, within the hydrophobic cavity of cage 1 is found crucial to realize the cage to twin-cage conversion. Confined G1 molecules within the nanocavity undergo self-coupling dimerization reaction to form 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-dinaphthylmethane (G2) which then triggers the cage to twin-cage mitosis. The same conversion also proceeds, in a much faster rate, via the direct templation of G2, confirming the induced-fit transformation mechanism. The structure of the (G2)2 ⊂2 host-guest complex has been established by X-ray crystallographic study, where cis- to trans- conformational switch on one bridging ligand is revealed.
