Abstract
An efficient TsOH-catalyzed consecutive biscyclization cascade reaction of dithioallylic alcohols with 1-styrylnaphthols is demonstrated for the concise construction of pharmaceutically important cyclopenta[b]dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds. This process involved an acid-catalyzed (3+2) cycloaddition followed by an intramolecular nucleophilic addition, providing cyclopenta[b]dihydronaphthofurans bearing a tetra- or fully substituted cyclopentane core in good yields with exclusive diastereoselectivities (>20 : 1 d.r.).

Abstract
A novel and an expedient metal- and solvent-free synthesis of a wide variety of 2-benzyl-4-arylquinoline derivatives is described from readily available aryl amines, styrene oxides and aryl acetylenes in the presence of 10 mol% molecular iodine. This domino reaction occurs under metal- and solvent-free conditions at 120 °C, which avoids the usage of metal catalyst and as a consequence generation of metal waste. The salient features of this methodology are the use of simple starting materials, ease of handling, high regioselectivity, shorter reaction time, atom-economical, step-economical, the formation of one C-N and two C-C bonds and a wide range of functional groups tolerance.

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
An efficient, useful and one-pot protocol for the synthesis of quinoline-2,4-dicarboxylate scaffolds is accomplished from aryl amines and dimethyl/diethyl acetylenedicarboxylates using 20 mol% molecular iodine as a catalyst in acetonitrile at 80 °C. In addition, the mechanistic explanation for the formation of the desired products is disclosed. The pivotal role of molecular iodine in the formation of the major products, diester quinoline derivatives, and the minor product, triesters, in two cases is described in the mechanism. The notable advantages of this method are non-involvement of a metal catalyst, avoiding of metal contamination in the final product as well as waste generation, use of a low cost and eco-friendly catalyst, ease of handling, high regioselectivity, shorter reaction time, the formation of one C-N and two C-C bonds and a broad substrate scope with good yields.

Abstract
Here we report that the chemoselective activation of Tsuji's 2-(cyanomethyl)allyl carbonates to generate the palladium-trimethylenemethane 1,3-dipoles via a deprotonation strategy can be realized in the presence of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates from substantial activated ketones. The following SN 2'-addition enables the formation of new 1,3-dipole species having an activated alkene moiety through a second deprotonation process, which then undergo cascade [1+2]/[3+2] annulations to furnish complex bicyclic [3.1.0]hexane frameworks having three contiguous quaternary stereogenic centers with good to excellent enantioselectivity. Moreover, by using benzoyl aldehyde-derived substrates, a [1+4]/[3+2] annulation sequence is similarly developed to produce fused cyclopenta[b]furan architectures.

Abstract
We have developed a methodology for the greatly efficient construction of significant 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran scaffolds bearing a quaternary carbon center at the C2 position by means of [4 + 1] annulation reactions between p-quinone methides and α-aryl diazoacetates as C1 synthons through organocatalysis by readily accessible TfOH catalyst under mild and transition metal-free conditions. This metal-free protocol furnishes an operationally simple and swift process for the free assembly of diverse highly functionalized 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans and also features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group compatibility, and environmental friendliness. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the reaction undergoes a rapid cascade protonation/intermolecular Michael addition/intramolecular substitution process.

Abstract
(‒)-Morphine, which is selected as an essential medicine by World Health Organization, is widely applied in the treatment of the pain-related diseases. Due to its synthetically challenging molecular architecture and important clinical role, extensive synthetic studies of morphine-type alkaloids have been conducted. However, catalytic asymmetric total synthesis of (‒)-morphine remains a long-standing challenge. Here, we disclose an efficient enantioselective total synthesis of (‒)-morphine in a longest linear sequence of 16 steps. The key transformation features a highly enantioselective Robinson annulation enabled by our spiro-pyrrolidine catalyst to rapidly construct the densely functionalized cis-hydrodibenzofuran framework containing vicinal stereocenters with an all-carbon quaternary center. This asymmetric approach provides an alternative strategy for the synthesis of (‒)-morphine and its analogues. (‒)-Morphine is an essential medicine selected by the World Health Organization, however its catalytic asymmetric syntheses have been rarely reported. Here, the authors developed an intramolecular enantioselective Michael addition leading to (‒)-morphine in a longest linear sequence of 16 steps.

Abstract
An unprecedented base-mediated cyclization of propargylic alcohols with aryne is reported, providing a novel method for the synthesis of 3-benzofuranyl-2-oxindole and 3-spirooxindole benzofuran scaffolds via a propargyl Claisen rearrangement/cycloaddition pathway. The nature of the substituent on acetylene group of propargylic alcohol influences the outcome of the reaction. The protocol offers a transition-metal-free and operationally simple methodology with broad substrate scope as a ready access to complex oxindole-linked heterocyclic compounds.
