Abstract
Dihydronaphthalenes are present in several functional molecules, but their assembly is challenging. However, a sequential strategy can induce the key annullation of an alkyne with a vinylarene under mild conditions. Products form in good yields, with ample functional tolerance via domino nucleophilic substitution and dearomative Diels-Alder and ene reactions. DFT modeling data show that alkali cations are crucial to ensure a smooth dearomative cyclization on the in situ generated intermediates.

Abstract
We present herein the first synthesis of tetrahydropyranes promoted by a silver salt. Cinnamyl ethers undergo a formal dimerization affording the target heterocycle via sequential C-O bond cleavage/C-H bond functionalization. The cascade allows one to assemble three new bonds and to establish up to four stereocenters. The reaction likely proceeds through a cationic manifold that forms the target in a diastereoselective fashion.

Abstract
Intramolecular cycloaddition reactions of α-bromostyrene-functionalized amides of monomethyl fumarate were investigated. The reaction of the amides with Et3N in toluene at 110 °C gave 1,4-dihydronaphthalenes. The 1,4-dihydronaphthalenes may be produced via the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction, proton transfer, and dehydrobromination by a base, along with C═C bond isomerization by proton transfer. The reaction of amide derivatives with halogen on a benzene ring and alkali metal carbonates in toluene at 110 °C gave naphthalene derivatives directly. Dehydrogenation of various 1,4-dihydronaphthalenes with cesium or rubidium carbonate in toluene at 110 °C gave naphthalene derivatives. The retardation by TEMPO, acceleration by air for some substrates, and density functional theory calculations suggest a radical mechanism caused by intervention of molecular oxygen.

Abstract
The visible-light-promoted activation of conjugated C-C double bonds is well developed, while that of cumulated systems is underexplored. We present the feasibility of this challenging approach. The localization of a triplet on an allenamide arm can be favored over that on a conjugated alkene. Allenamides with an arylacryloyl arm dimerize at room temperature in the presence of visible light and an iridium(iii) photocatalyst. Two orthogonal polycyclizations took place and their outcome is entirely dictated by the substitution of the alkene partner. Both cascades afford complex molecular architectures with high selectivity. Products form through the ordered rearrangement of twelve π electrons, providing a [3.2.0] bicyclic unit tethered to a fused tricycle, whose formation included an aryl C-H functionalization step, using disubstituted alkenes. The outcome was reverted with trisubstituted ones, which gave rise to taxane-like bridged tricycles that had two six-membered lactams flanking a cyclooctane ring, which was established through the creation of four alternate C-C bonds.
