Abstract
We describe a diversity-oriented one-pot telescopic synthesis of various benzo[b]carbazoles with the naphthannulation of indoles as the key step, enabled by an intramolecular furan-olefin Diels-Alder reaction. This strategy is general and efficient across a wide range of substrates. We applied this method to synthesize and characterize the first benzo[b]carbazole-based liquid crystalline materials, where the unique molecular design led to the formation of a rare nematic phase at room temperature.

Abstract
A general synthetic approach to molecular structures that are hybrids of tetraethynylethylene (TEE) and tetravinylethylene (TVE) is reported. The synthesis permits the controlled preparation of many previously inaccessible structures, including examples with different substituents on each of the four branching arms. Most substituted TVE-TEE hybrids are found to be significantly more robust compounds than their unsubstituted counterparts, enhancing the prospects of their deployment in conducting materials and devices. Their participation in pericyclic reaction cascades, leading to sp3-rich polycycles, is demonstrated. The utilization of TEE-TVE hybrids as building blocks for larger acyclic, through/cross-conjugated hydrocarbon frameworks is also established. Aryl-substituted TEEs, TVEs, and their hybrids are fluorescent, with some exhibiting aggregation-induced emission enhancement. The structural requirements are defined and explained, setting the scene for applications as fluorescent probes and organic light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
The common, key tricyclic core of stemona alkaloids parvistemonine (1) and parvistemoline (2), whose synthetic efforts have not reported yet, was constructed through a new strategy in which three contiguous stereogenic centers were set by using Carreira's asymmetric Ir/amine-catalyzed allylation of aldehyde with α-vinylfurfuryl alcohol and Ellman's sulfinamide chiral auxiliary, respectively. The furan ring was especially designed to act as the precursor of the butyrolactone while establishing the significant chirality.

Abstract
γ− and δ-Oxoesters are easily available starting materials that have been sparingly used in some organocatalyzed reactions proceeding with a high enantioselectivity. In our experimentation we found that the use of these compounds as the enolizable (nucleophilic) component in organocatalyzed Mannich-type reactions using in situ-generated cyclic N-acyl iminium ions gave low diastereoselectivity and low to moderate values of enantioselectivity. This significant drop of facial selectivity with respect to simple aliphatic aldehydes has been rationalized by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Abstract
An expedient route to access the functionalized structural core of aflavinines has been developed starting from three readily available fragments over 12 steps in 29.1% overall yield without using any transition metal catalysis. The key feature of this approach is a tandem intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition to complete the hexacyclic framework with the correct stereochemistry and all the requisite structural elements in place to achieve the total synthesis of aflavinine and its congeners.

Abstract
Intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of substituted 1,2-cyclohexadienes with pendent furans enables the synthesis of complex tetracyclic scaffolds in a single step under mild conditions. All Diels-Alder cycloadducts were obtained as single diastereomers, assigned as the endo isomer. Substrates were easily assembled via Stork-Danheiser alkylation of 3-ethoxy-2-bromocyclohex-2-enone to accommodate a range of tethers and furan traps. Cleavage of enol acetate moieties resulted in room-temperature Diels-Alder cycloreversion to tethered furyl cyclohexenones.

Abstract
An efficient [3 + 2]/[4 + 2] or double [4 + 2] cycloaddition strategy has been established for the synthesis of heterocyclic systems under mild conditions. The reaction pathway is governed by the nature of reaction partner. Several dihydrofurocoumarin, furopyranocoumarin, dihydrofuran, dihydrobenzopyran, and dihydrobenzofuran derivatives were obtained as single diastereomers from cyclic or acyclic enol ethers and styrenes. This one-pot transformation constructed C-C and C-O bonds and generated molecular complexity by domino/tandem process to produce the heterocyclic systems in good yields. The ring closure of domino protocol was highly stereoselective and resulted in the formation of cis-fused systems.

Abstract
Nitrofurans undergo intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions with tethered electron-poor dienophiles more rapidly and in higher yield than non-nitrated furans. Computational studies indicate that increased stabilization of a partial positive charge on the nitro-substituted carbon in both transition state and product is the driving force for these reactions. Frontier molecular orbital energy differences indicate a switch from normal to inverse electron demand upon nitration. There does not appear to be a contribution from any differences in aromatic stabilization energy between furans and nitrofurans. Calculations show that the nitrofuran reactions proceed via a highly asynchronous transition state allowing easier bond formation between two sterically hindered carbons.

Abstract
A series of 28 norcantharidin (NorC)-inspired analogues were accessed via a robust two-step Ugi intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) sequence. Four analogues displayed whole-cell cytotoxicity equipotent to that of NorC and cisplatin against a number of cancer cell lines and a normal breast cell line (MCF10A). Notably, (3S,3aS,6R)-2-benzyl-7-methyl-N-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-3a,6-epoxyisoindole-3-carboxamide (trans-27) displayed superior whole-cell activity against breast (MCF-7, GI50 =2.9 μm) and colon (HT29, GI50 =6.4 μm) cancer cell lines relative to the control (cisplatin), which elicited respective GI50 values of 6.5 and 11.3 μm against the aforementioned cell lines. This analogue also displayed improved activity relative to NorC across the breast (MCF-7, GI50 =2.9 μm; NorC GI50 =7.5 μm), ovarian (A2780, GI50 =2.2 μm; NorC GI50 =4.4 μm), and neuroblastoma (BE2-C, GI50 =2.2 μm; NorC GI50 =3.7 μm) cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) investigations demonstrated that retention of sp2 hybridized connections within the tetrahydroepoxyisoindole carboxamide scaffold is crucial, as aromatization to a phenolic functionality decreased activity, whereas removal of a single olefin bond abolished cytotoxicity. Nonetheless, with respect to the latter, use of crotonic acid as opposed 2-butynoic acid in the Ugi-IMDA sequence imparted a significant improvement to diastereoselectivity, with the cis/trans isomer ratio shifting from ≈1:1.2 to ≈0.5:9.5.

Abstract
The Diels–Alder reaction is one of the most powerful, well-established, and versatile reactions in organic chemistry; however, its application in certain settings remains a challenge as a result of functional group incompatibility. In this review, we examine the methods in which masked ketenes can be employed as dienophiles, taking particular note of applications in complex settings.
