Abstract
Herein, we report a reductive hydrazo-sulfonylative difunctionalization cascade of alkynyl cyclohexadienones employing PhTeTePh as an uncommon reducing agent. Diphenyl ditelluride is a commercially available solid with a good solubility profile in most organic solvents, and this is the first report illustrating it as a reducing agent. The protocol afforded a variety of difunctionalized dihydrochromenones and dihydrobenzofuranones in good yields under relatively mild conditions. The reactions were scalable, and mechanistic studies were conducted to probe the reaction mechanism. Additionally, photophysical studies of the products were carried out, which revealed that they had significant absorption (400-450 nm) and emission (520-570 nm) in the visible region.

Abstract
The water-mediated tosylation of alkenes with tosyl cyanide was discovered. Experimental investigations revealed that the reaction was initiated by the in situ formation of sulfinyl sulfone in the presence of water. The sulfinyl sulfone species decomposed to a sulfonyl radical and a sulfinyl radical through homolytic fission. The vinyl sulfone was afforded via sequential addition of the alkene to the sulfonyl radical and the sulfinyl radical, followed by β-elimination of a sulfinyl moiety.

Abstract
β-Thiolated-α-arylated ketones are perversive in bioactive molecules and serve as potential bidentate ligands for catalysis. Herein, a straightforward protocol to access β-thiolated ketones from aldehydes, alkenes, and disulfides enabled by the combination of photocatalysis and N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis is reported. The sequential radical addition to alkenes and subsequent radical-radical coupling cascade process simultaneously forge C-S and C-C bonds. The mild conditions allow for radical relay coupling with a broad functional group tolerance.

Abstract
We hereby report a highly regio- and diastereoselective arylsulfonylation-radical cyclization-selenylation cascade of alkynyl cyclohexadienones for the facile synthesis of highly functionalized dihydrochromenones. The protocol utilizes aryldiazonium salts as aryl partners and DABSO as a benign SO2 source and also as a redox mediator. Additionally, we also developed a visible light mediated protocol wherein diaryliodonium salts were used as the aryl partners at room temperature.

Abstract
The development of transition-metal catalyzed enantioselective and diastereoselective transformations has contributed many advances in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Particularly, stereoselective desymmetrization of prochiral cyclohexadienones represents a powerful strategy for accessing highly functionalized and stereochemically enriched scaffolds, which are often found in biologically active compounds and natural products. In recent years, several research groups including our group have made a significant progress on transition-metal catalyzed stereoselective desymmetrizations of 2,5-cyclohexadienones. In this account, we will provide an overview of the recent developments in this area employing Pd, Cu, Rh, Au, Ag, Ni, Co, and Mn-catalysts.

Abstract
Developed herein is a Cu(II)-catalyzed Meyer-Schuster-type rearrangement of alkyne-tethered cyclohexadienone for the construction of m-enone-substituted phenols. The reaction involves an uncommon 5-exo-trig 1,6-enyne cyclization of alkyne-tethered-cyclohexadienone, aromatization-triggered C-O bond cleavage, and an electrocyclic 4π-ring-opening of oxetene intermediate. This atom-efficient transformation provides access to a wide range of synthetically important α-(m-substituted phenol)-α,β-unsaturated ketones, featuring a broad scope with labile functional group tolerance. The gram-scale demonstration makes this transformation synthetically viable. The synthetic application of α,β-unsaturated ketones is also showcased.
