Abstract
The combining use of BnSCF2D, mCPBA and Tf2O serves as an efficient multi-component reagents system (MCRS) for the synthesis of deuteriodifluoromethylthiolated isocoumarins-1-imines/isocoumarins via intramolecular cyclization/deuteriodifluoromethylthiolation of 2-alkynylbenzamides/2-alkynylbenzoates. The approach features the generation of the crucial reactive electrophilic sulfonium salt through a sequence process involving the oxidation of BnSCF2D by mCPBA followed by Tf2O promoted activation.

Abstract
The application of the DMSO/SOCl2 system enabled the intramolecular cyclization/chlorination of N,N-disubstituted 2-alkynylanilines, leading to the synthesis of a series of 3-chloroindoles with moderate to good yields. Differing from the previously reported interrupted Pummerer reaction featuring the introduction of SMe moiety, the current approach adopted an alternative pathway that realized the incorporation of chlorine atom to the indole skeleton via a desulfonylative chlorocyclization process.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202306914.

Abstract
Owing to its unique physical properties, fluorine is often used to open up new reaction channels. In this report, we establish a cooperation of [5,5]-rearrangement and fluorine-assisted temporary dearomatization for arene multi-functionalization. Specifically, the [5,5]-rearrangement of fluoroaryl sulfoxides with β,γ-unsaturated nitriles generates an intriguing dearomatized sulfonium species which is short-lived but exhibits unusually high electrophilicity and thus can be instantly trapped by nucleophiles and dienes at a remarkably low temperature (-95 °C) to produce four types of valuable multi-functionalized benzenes, respectively, involving appealing processes of defluorination, desulfurization, and sulfur shift. Mechanistic studies indicate that the use of fluorine on arenes not only circumvents the generally inevitable [3,3]-rearrangement but also impedes the undesired rearomatization process, thus provides a precious space for constructing and elaborating the temporarily dearomatized fluorinated sulfonium species.

Abstract
A novel mechanistic duality has been revealed from the indolyl 1,3-heteroatom transposition (IHT) of N-hydroxyindole derivatives. A series of in-depth mechanistic investigations suggests that two separate mechanisms are operating simultaneously. Moreover, the relative contribution of each mechanistic pathway, the energy barrier for each pathway, and the identity of the primary pathway were shown to be the functions of the electronic properties of the substrate system. Based on the mechanistic understanding obtained, a mechanism-driven strategy for the general and efficient introduction of a heteroatom at the 3-position of indole has been developed. The reaction developed exhibits a broad substrate scope to provide the products in various forms of the functionalised indole. Moreover, the method is applicable to the introduction of both oxygen- and nitrogen-based functional groups.

Abstract
Benzothiophenes, activated by oxidation to the corresponding S-oxides, undergo C-H/C-H-type coupling with phenols to give C4 arylation products. While an electron-withdrawing group at C3 of the benzothiophene is important, the process operates without a directing group and a metal catalyst, thus rendering it compatible with sensitive functionalities-e.g. halides and formyl groups. Quantum chemical calculations suggest a formal stepwise mechanism involving heterolytic cleavage of an aryloxysulfur species to give a π-complex of the corresponding benzothiophene and a phenoxonium cation. Subsequent addition of the phenoxonium cation to the C4 position of the benzothiophene is favored over the addition to C3; Fukui functions predict that the major regioisomer is formed at the more electron-rich position between C3 and C4. Varied selective manipulation of the benzothiophene products showcase the synthetic utility of the metal-free arylation process.

Abstract
α-Heteroatom functionalization is a key strategy for C-C bond formation in organic synthesis, as exemplified by the addition of a nucleophile to electrophilic functional groups, such as iminium ions; oxocarbenium ions; and their sulfur analogues, sulfenium ions. We envisioned a photoredox-enabled radical Pummerer-type reaction realized through the single-electron oxidation of a sulfide. Following this oxidative event, α-deprotonation would afford α-thio radicals that participate in radical-radical coupling reactions with azolium-bound ketyl radicals, thereby accessing a commonly proposed mechanistic intermediate of the radical-radical coupling en route to functionalized additive Pummerer products. This system provides a complementary synthetic approach to highly functionalized sulfurous products, including modification of methionine residues in peptides, and beckons further exploration in C-C bond formations previously limited in the standard two-electron process.

Abstract
The BnSRf (Rf = CF2H or CF3)/mCPBA/Tf2O system was found to be an effective multicomponent reagent system for the one-pot synthesis of di/trifluoromethylthiolated heterocycles from alkynes. The reaction was postulated to proceed via a cascade sequence involving the oxidation of BnSRf by mCPBA, activation of the in situ-generated sulfoxide by Tf2O, and intramolecular cyclization/fluoromethylthiolation of the alkyne substrates enabled by the formed electrophilic sulfonium salt to give di/trifluoromethylthiolated heterocycles.

The reaction of alkynyl aryl ketones bearing an o-methoxy group with difluoromethyl sulfoxide in the presence of Tf2O was found to conveniently afford the corresponding 3-SCF2H-substituted chromones. The combining use of difluoromethyl sulfoxide/Tf2O could represent the first reagents system that can introduce the biologically important SCF2H moiety under base-free conditions via an interrupted Pummerer reaction. The same protocol could also be applied to the synthesis of 3-SCF3-substituted chromones by replacing difluoromethyl sulfoxide with trifluoromethyl sulfoxide and CH3CN with toluene.

Abstract
Aromatic [5,5]-rearrangement can in principle be an ideal protocol to access dearomative compounds. However, the lack of competent [5,5]-rearrangement impedes the advance of the protocol. In this Article, we showcase the power of [5,5]-rearrangement recently developed in our laboratory for constructing an intriguing dearomative sulfonium specie which features versatile and unique reactivities to perform nucleophilic 1,2- and 1,4-addition and cyclization, thus achieving dearomative di- and trifunctionalization of easily accessible aryl sulfoxides. Impressively, the dearomatization products can be readily converted to sulfur-removed cyclohexenones, naphthalenones, bicyclic cyclohexadienones, and multi-substituted benzenes. Mechanistic studies shed light on the key intermediates and the remarkable chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivities of the reactions.

Abstract
ConspectusSince Ludwig Claisen's discovery of the sigmatropic rearrangement of allyl aryl ethers in 1912, aromatic Claisen rearrangement has continuously attracted the attention of both experimental and theoretical chemists. Over more than a century of growth, this protocol has proven to be a practical and powerful synthetic tool in many aspects. However, the reaction scope has long been limited to aryl ethers and their S or N analogs until the serendipitous discovery of aromatic iodonium-Claisen rearrangement by Oh et al. in 1988 and the development of aromatic sulfonium-Claisen rearrangement by Kita et al. in 2004. Unlike traditional Claisen rearrangements, these hypervalent-bonding-based Claisen-type rearrangements can be performed by simply mixing electrophilically activated aryl sulfoxides/iodanes with certain nucleophiles to directly deliver rearrangement products. In addition to the simple operation, remarkable features, such as readily available substrates, valuable products and intriguing rearrangement patterns, have led to a dramatic resurgence of this rearrangement chemistry.In this Account, we summarize our recent works on developing new aromatic rearrangement modes using sulfonium/iodonium reagents. Interestingly, the program started with an accidental discovery that aryl sulfoxides could be coupled with alkyl nitriles in the presence of Tf2O and base. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction proceeds in three major steps, including the Tf2O-triggered assembly of both coupling partners, base-promoted deprotonation of in situ-generated aryl sulfonium-imine species leading to a key rearrangement precursor called aryl sulfonium-ketenimine species, and subsequent facile and rapid [3,3]-rearrangement. On the basis of the mechanistic underpinning, we divided the one-step operation into two steps called the "assembly/deprotonation" protocol for constructing unstable rearrangement precursors. Most notably, the switch from the commonly used one-step to mechanism-based multiple-step manipulation, which can be termed "breaking up the whole into parts", not only enables the independent control of each step of the reaction, thus significantly expanding the accessible synthetic scope, but also raises opportunities for developing new rearrangement patterns. For example, the "assembly/deprotonation" protocol has also been applied to the development of [5,5]-rearrangement of aryl sulfoxides and the asymmetric rearrangement of aryl iodanes, thus enabling the unprecedented regio- and stereocontrol of the rearrangement process. Furthermore, the "breaking up the whole into parts" thinking triggered us to merge the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction into the rearrangement process to accomplish Z-selective MBH-type [3,3]-rearrangement of α,β-unsaturated nitriles and E-selective MBH-type [3,3]-rearrangement of α,β-unsaturated 2-oxazolines, which expands the scope of rearrangement partners to include α,β-unsaturated carbonyls. In addition, the impressive rapidity of the rearrangement process found in our initial discovery has also been recognized as a congestion-acceleration effect, which was further utilized to forge the rapid ortho-cyanoalkylative rearrangement of aryl iodanes, and thus leading to the first dearomatization of aryl iodanes. We anticipate that our protocols and ideas behind the methods will be complementary to the traditional thinking of the aromatic Claisen rearrangement.

Abstract
Because of the electron-rich property of indoles, direct functionalization strategies towards indoles generally involve electrophilic substitutions. In this paper, an efficient protocol for nucleophilic hydroxylation, halogenation and esterification of indoles via the aromatic Pummerer process was developed. With the advantages of readily accessible starting materials, simple operation and mild conditions, this protocol should be of interest to synthetic scientists.

Abstract
A modular approach to underexplored, unsymmetrical [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (BTBT) scaffolds delivers a library of BTBT materials from readily available coupling partners by combining a transition-metal free Pummerer CH-CH-type cross-coupling and a Newman-Kwart reaction. This effective approach to unsymmetrical BTBT materials has allowed their properties to be studied. In particular, tuning the functional groups on the BTBT scaffold allows the solid-state assembly and molecular orbital energy levels to be modulated. Investigation of the charge transport properties of BTBT-containing small-molecule:polymer blends revealed the importance of molecular ordering during phase segregation and matching the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level with that of the semiconducting polymer binder, polyindacenodithiophene-benzothiadiazole (PIDTBT). The hole mobilities extracted from transistors fabricated using blends of PIDTBT with phenyl or methoxy functionalized unsymmetrical BTBTs were double those measured for devices fabricated using pristine PIDTBT. This study underscores the value of the synthetic methodology in providing a platform from which to study structure-property relationships in an underrepresented family of unsymmetrical BTBT molecular semiconductors.

Abstract
Biaryl synthesis continues to occupy a central role in chemical synthesis. From blockbuster drug molecules to organic electronics, biaryls present numerous possibilities and new applications continue to emerge. Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions represent the gold standard for biaryl synthesis and the mechanistic steps, such as reductive elimination, are well established. Developing routes that exploit alternative mechanistic scenarios could give unprecedented biaryl structures and expand the portfolio of biaryl applications. We have developed metal-free C-H/C-H couplings of aryl sulfoxides with phenols to afford 2-hydroxy-2'-sulfanylbiaryls. This cascade strategy consists of an interrupted Pummerer reaction and [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement. Our method enables the synthesis of intriguing aromatic molecules, including oligoarenes, enantioenriched dihetero[8]helicenes, and polyfluorobiaryls. From our successes in aryl sulfoxide/phenol couplings and a deeper understanding of sigmatropic rearrangements for biaryl synthesis, we have established related methods, such as aryl sulfoxide/aniline and aryl iodane/phenol couplings. Overall, our fundamental interests in underexplored reaction mechanisms have led to various methods for accessing important biaryl architectures.

Abstract
Control over chemo- and regioselectivity is a critical issue in the heterobiaryl synthesis via C–H oxidative coupling. To address this challenge, a strategy to invert the normal polarity of indoles in the heterobiaryl coupling was developed. With N-carboxyindoles as umpoled indoles, an exclusively ortho-selective coupling with phenols has been realized, employing a Brønsted acid- or Cu(i)-catalyst (as low as 0.01 mol%). A range of phenols and N-carboxyindoles coupled with exceptional efficiency and selectivity at ambient temperature and the substrates bearing redox-active aryl halides (–Br and –I) smoothly coupled in an orthogonal manner. Notably, preliminary examples of atropselective heterobiaryl coupling have been demonstrated, based on a chiral disulfonimide or a Cu(i)/chiral bisphosphine catalytic system. The reaction was proposed to occur through SN2′ substitution or a Cu(i)–Cu(iii) cycle, with Brønsted acid or Cu(i) catalysts, respectively. Control over chemo- and regioselectivity is a critical issue in the heterobiaryl synthesis via C–H oxidative coupling. To address this challenge, a strategy to invert the normal polarity of indoles was developed.![]()

Abstract
A cationic gold(I)-catalyzed asymmetric [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfonium leads after cyclization to cyclopentenones with a C4-quaternary stereocenter. Starting with simple vinyl sulfoxides and propargyl silane, numerous compounds were isolated with moderate to good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses (26 examples). The application of this simple methodology allowed the efficient total synthesis of five natural sesquiterpenoids, including enokipodin A and B, hitoyopodin A, lagopodin A, and isocuparene-3,4-diol.

Abstract
Catalyst-controlled switchable domino reactions between azadienes bearing a benzothiophene moiety and isatin-derived MBH carbonates were developed. The [4 + 1] annulation was triggered in the presence of DABCO, giving a variety of benzothiophene fused pyrrole derivatives, while the [4 + 3] annulation occurred when changing the catalyst to DMAP. Furthermore, the [3 + 2] annulation mode was observed with the use of catalytic Ph2PMe. Additionally, the synthetic utility of these domino reactions was demonstrated by gram-scale experiments and simple transformations of the products. To the best of our knowledge, catalyst-controlled synthesis of benzothiophene fused or spiro derivatives has rarely been reported.

Abstract
A comprehensive mechanistic investigation was conducted on the coupling reaction of aryl sulfoxides with phenols by using trifluoroacetic anhydride to yield biaryls. NMR experiments revealed that our previously proposed mechanism, which consists of a cascade of an interrupted Pummerer reaction and a rate-determining [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, is reasonable. The electronic effects of the substrates were also evaluated to elucidate the nature of the rearrangement step. Based on experimental observations and theoretical calculations, we conclude that the rearrangement is highly asynchronous and stepwise rather than concerted when electron-rich phenols are employed for the reaction.

Abstract
Interrupted reactions reroute established processes to new and often unanticipated end points. Of particular interest are the cases in which a known reactive intermediate takes on a new reaction pathway, either because this pathway is lower in energy or because the conventional pathway is no longer available. Through analysis of documented cases, we aim to dissect the known interrupted reactions and trace their mechanistic origins. As new chemical processes are being discovered at a seemingly ever-increasing pace, it is likely that new interrupted reactions will continue to emerge. Our hope is that the cases considered in this Review will help identify new classes of these fascinating transformations.

Abstract
Rearrangement reactions incorporated into cascade reactions play an important role in rapidly increasing molecular complexity from readily available starting materials. Reported here is a Cu-catalyzed cascade reaction of α-(hetero)aryl-substituted alkyl (hetero)aryl ketones with primary amines that incorporates an unusual 1,2-aryl migration induced by amide C-N bond formation to produce a class of structurally novel α,α-diaryl β,γ-unsaturated γ-lactams in generally good-to-excellent yields. This cascade reaction has a broad substrate scope with respect to primary amines, allows a wide spectrum of (hetero)aryl groups to smoothly undergo 1,2-migration, and tolerates electronically diverse α-substituents on the (hetero)aryl ring of the ketones. Mechanistically, this 1,2-aryl migration may stem from the intramolecular amide C-N bond formation which induces nucleophilic migration of the aryl group from the acyl carbon center to the electrophilic carbon center that is conjugated with the resulting iminium moiety.

This reaction tolerated a wide spectrum of functionalities, which could be applied in the synthesis of an electron-deficient arene-conjugated catechol that is difficult to access via biomimetic oxidative coupling. In addition, a diversification-oriented transformation that leveraged the versatile catechol afforded a series of functionality-rich products.

Abstract
C3-selective C-C bond formation on benzothiophenes is challenging, and few direct functionalization methods are available. A gold-catalyzed reaction of alkynes with benzothiophene S-oxides provides regioselective entry into C3-alkylated benzothiophenes with the C7-alkylated isomer as the minor product. This oxyarylation reaction works with alkyl and aryl alkynes and substituted and unsubstituted benzothiophenes. Mechanistic studies identify that sulfoxide inhibits the catalyst [DTBPAu(PhCN)]SbF6, which also degrades and forms the unreactive complex [(DTBP)2Au]SbF6.

Abstract
The Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction and [3, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement are two paradigms in organic synthesis. We have merged the two types of reactions to achieve [3,3]-rearrangement of aryl sulfoxides with α,β-unsaturated nitriles. The reaction was achieved by sequentially treating both coupling partners with electrophilic activator (Tf2 O) and base, offering an effective approach to prepare synthetically versatile α-aryl α,β-unsaturated nitriles with Z-selectivity through direct α-C-H arylation of unmodified α,β-unsaturated nitriles. The control experiments and DFT calculations support a four-stage reaction sequence, including the assembly of Tf2 O activated aryl sulfoxide with α,β-unsaturated nitrile, MBH-like Lewis base addition, [3,3]-rearrangement, and E1cB-elimination. Among these stages, the Lewis base addition is diastereoselective and E1cB-elimination is cis-selective, which could account for the remarkable Z-selectivity of the reaction.

Abstract
A series of dihetero[8]helicenes have been systematically synthesized in enantiomerically enriched forms by utilizing the characteristic transformations of the organosulfur functionality. The synthetic route begins with assembling a ternaphthyl common synthetic intermediate from 2-naphthol and bissulfinylnaphthalene through an extended Pummerer reaction followed by facile multi-gram-scale resolution. The subsequent cyclization reactions into dioxa- and dithia[8]helicenes take place with excellent axial-to-helical chirality conversion. Dithia[8]helicene is further transformed into the nitrogen and the carbon analogs by replacing the two endocyclic sulfur atoms via SNAr-based skeletal reconstruction. The efficient systematic synthesis has enabled comprehensive evaluation of physical properties, which has clarified the effect of the endocyclic atoms on their structures and (chir)optical properties as well as the unexpected conformational stability of the common helical framework.

Abstract
An efficient and straightforward gold-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of 2-substituted 4-oxo-4-arylbutanal derivatives from commercially available or easily accessible alkynes and vinylsulfoxide substrates has been developed. Extension of the methodology to the use of 1-cycloalkenyl sulfoxides allowed the facile synthesis of five-, six-, and seven-membered-ring cycloalkyl-1-one backbone. Subsequently, the tetrahydrocycloalkyl[b]pyrrole derivatives, which are found in many active pharmaceutical ingredients, were isolated in good yields. Mechanistic investigation highlighted a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of a sulfonium intermediate in this process.

Abstract
A metal-free C-H allylation strategy is described to access diverse functionalized ortho-allyl-iodoarenes. The method employs hypervalent (diacetoxy)iodoarenes and proceeds through the iodane-guided "iodonio-Claisen" allyl transfer. The use of allylsilanes bearing electron-withdrawing functional groups unlocks the functionalization of a broad range of substrates, including electron-neutral and electron-poor rings. The resulting ortho-allylated iodoarenes are versatile building blocks, with examples of downstream transformation including a concise synthesis of the experimental antimitotic core of Dosabulin. DFT calculations shed additional light on the reaction mechanism, with notable aspects including the aromatic character of the transition-state structure for the [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, as well as the highly stereoconvergent nature of the trans-product formation.

Abstract
Trifluoromethyl sulfoxides are a new class of trifluoromethylthiolating reagent. The sulfoxides engage in metal-free C-H trifluoromethylthiolation with a range of (hetero)arenes. The method is also applicable to the functionalization of important compound classes, such as ligand derivatives and polyaromatics, and in the late-stage trifluoromethylthiolation of medicines and agrochemicals. The isolation and characterization of a sulfonium salt intermediate supports an interrupted Pummerer reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Regioselective difunctionalization of 2,6-difluorophenols with aryl sulfoxides and nucleophiles has been accomplished. The reaction is composed of (1) Pummerer-based [3,3] sigmatropic dearomatization to generate 2,4-cyclohexadienone, (2) Michael addition of a nucleophile, and (3) liberation of HF for rearomatization. Besides the [3,3] rearrangement, [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement from sulfonium ylide generated from alkyl sulfoxide promotes the dearomatization, resulting in installation of α-sulfanylalkyl group.

Abstract
To expand the toolbox for the synthesis of ortho-phenolic sulfilimines, sigmatropic rearrangements were introduced to the field of sulfilimine chemistry. Herein we report a N-H sulfenylation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement cascade reaction. This mild reaction enables commercially available thiols to serve as the sulfenylation reagent and generates water as the sole byproduct. Moreover, the reaction has a wide substrate scope and can be conducted on a gram scale with excellent reaction efficiency.

Abstract
Selective C-F arylation of polyfluorophenols with aryl sulfoxides has been accomplished by means of a sigmatropic dearomatization/defluorination sequence. This sequence consists of three processes: 1) interrupted Pummerer reaction to form S-O-tethered sulfonium salt; 2) C-C-forming [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement with dearomatization; and 3) Zn-mediated defluorinative rearomatization. The present biaryl construction provides a facile access to polyfluorinated biaryls that is difficult to synthesize by other methods. The synthetic utility of the strategy is clearly demonstrated by the synthesis of a fluorinated analogue of Maxipost, a potassium channel modulator.

Abstract
We developed an efficient and direct method for synthesis of benzothiophene oxides from 1-bromo-2-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzenes and thionyl chloride as an easily accessible source of the sulfinyl group. Benzothiophenes were also synthesized selectively by simply increasing the amount of thionyl chloride. These methods achieved efficient syntheses of various benzothiophene oxides and benzothiophenes. The further modification of the benzothiophene oxides obtained was also demonstrated.
