Abstract
Sequential C-H functionalization of molecules containing multiple C-H bonds can efficiently lead to structural diversity. Herein we present the first chelation-assisted sequential α-/β-C-H functionalization of E-styrenes with simple alkenes and alkynes in excellent regio- and stereo-selectivity. The process involves α C-H functionalization by six-membered exo-cyclopalladation to result in tri- and tetrasubstituted 1,3-dienes and β C-H functionalization through seven-membered endo-cyclopalladation to produce tetra- and pentasubstituted 1,3,5-trienes in up to 97 % yield with up to >99/1 E/Z selectivity, both enabled by the chelation assistance of pyrazinamide. The protocol is demonstrated to be widely applicable, tolerant to a wide range of functional groups and bioactive fragments, and suitable for gram-scale synthesis as well as one-pot and two step preparation of trienes. Mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the selectivity and reactivity.

Abstract
Described here is a mild and stereoselective protocol for the synthesis of [3]dendralenes via the intermolecular dimerization of allenes. With the proper choice of a ruthenium catalyst, a range of unactivated 1,1-disubstituted allenes, without prefunctionalization in the allylic position, reacted efficiently to provide rapid access to densely substituted [3]dendralenes. An intermolecular C-C bond and three different types of C═C double bonds (di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted) embedded in an acyclic structure were constructed with good to high E/Z stereocontrol. This is in contrast to the known catalytic protocols that focus on allenes with prefunctionalization at the allylic position and/or monosubstituted allenes, which would proceed by a different mechanism or require less stereocontrol. The silyl-substituted dendralene products are precursors of other useful dendralene molecules. Density functional theory (DFT) studies and control experiments supported a mechanism involving oxidative cyclometalation, β-H elimination (the rate-determining step), and reductive elimination.

Abstract
The diene-transmissive 2-fold Diels-Alder sequence between carbon-based dienophiles and [3]dendralenes is becoming an established method for polycarbocycle synthesis. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that imines are competent participants in intermolecular formal [4 + 2] cycloadditions with dendralenes. After a second Diels-Alder process with a carbadienophile, hexahydro- and octahydro-isoquinoline structures are formed. The formal aza-Diels-Alder reaction, which requires Lewis acid promotion, proceeds in high regio- and stereoselectivity under optimized conditions. ωB97XD/Def2-TZVP//M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p) calculations reveal a stepwise ionic mechanism for the formal aza-dienophile cycloadditions and also explain an unexpected Z → E olefin isomerization of a non-reacting C═C bond in the first formal cycloaddition.

Abstract
The first general synthesis of branched tetraenes ([4]dendralenes) involves two or three steps from inexpensive, commodity chemicals. It involves an unprecedented variation on Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, generating two new C-C bonds in a one-flask operation with control of diastereoselectivity. The broad scope of the method is established through the synthesis of more than 60 diversely substituted [4]dendralene molecules, along with substituted buta-1,3-dienes and other [n]dendralenes. [4]Dendralenes are demonstrated to be significantly more kinetically stable than their well-known [3]dendralene counterparts. The first stereoselective synthesis of these compounds is also reported, through the catalyst-controlled generation of both E- and Z-diastereomeric products from the same precursor. Novel, through-conjugated/cross-conjugated hybrid molecules are introduced. The first selective dienophile cycloadditions to substituted [4]dendralenes are reported, thus paving the way for applications in target-oriented synthesis.

Abstract
The total synthesis of three diastereomeric matrine natural products is reported. The 8-step synthesis commences with simple acyclic precursors, forms all 4 rings of the tetracyclic natural product framework, and forges 10 of the 20 covalent bonds of the target structure. A cross-conjugated triene is positioned at the core of an acyclic branched structure. This precursor collapses to the tetracyclic natural product framework through an orchestrated sequence of two separate intramolecular cycloadditions. A subsequent, late-stage hydrogenation is accompanied by strain-release redox epimerizations to deliver the three natural products. An unprecedented carba-analogue is prepared in the same way. Semisynthetic manipulations of matrine provide access to 10 additional natural products.

Abstract
Diene-transmissive hetero-Diels-Alder sequences involving carbonyl dienophiles are reported for the first time. High enantioselectivities are achieved in the reaction of phenylglyoxal with a broad range of dendralene structures, through the optimization of a Pd2+ catalyst system. The initial catalyst-controlled enantioselective oxa-Diels-Alder (ODA) cycloaddition to a [3]dendralene generates a dihydropyran carrying a semicyclic diene. This participates in a subsequent catalyst or substrate-controlled Diels-Alder reaction to generate sp3 -rich fused polycyclic systems containing both heterocycles and carbocycles. Computational investigations reveal a concerted asynchronous mechanism. π-Complexation of a diene C=C bond to Pd2+ occurs in both the pre-transition state (TS) complex and in cycloaddition TSs, controlling stereoselectivity. A formal enantioselective [4+2]cycloaddition of a CO2 dienophile is demonstrated.

Abstract
![]()
The five-coordinate
hydrido complex [IrH(OTf)(PSiP)]
(1) catalytically transforms 2-butyne into a mixture
of its isomer
1,3-butadiene, and [3]dendralene and linear hexatriene dimerization
products: (E)-4-methyl-3-methylene-1,4-hexadiene
and (3Z)-3,4-dimethyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, respectively.
Under the conditions of the catalytic reaction, benzene, and 363 K,
the hexatriene further undergoes thermal electrocyclization into 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene.
The reactions between 1 and the alkyne substrate allow
isolation or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) observation of catalyst
resting states and possible reaction intermediates, including complexes
with the former PSiP pincer ligands disassembled into PSi and PC chelates,
and species coordinating allyl or carbene fragments en route to products.
The density functional theory (DFT) calculations guided by these experimental
observations disclose competing mechanisms for C–H bond elaboration
that move H atoms either classically, as hydrides, or as protons transported
by the triflate. This latter role of triflate, previously recognized
only for more basic anions such as carboxylates, is discussed to result
from combining the unfavorable charge separation in the nonpolar solvent
and the low electronic demand from the metal to the anion at coordination
positions trans to silicon. Triflate deprotonation of methyl groups
is key to release highly coordinating diene products from stable allyl
intermediates, thus enabling catalytic cycling.

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.

An unprecedented sequential [3+3]/aza-6π-electrocyclization between cross-conjugated azatrienes and δ-sulfonamido-allenoates, catalyzed by phosphine, has been developed, which provides efficient and facile access to highly functionalized tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives. The products can be easily transformed into (dihydro)isoquinolines and their fused polycyclic compounds. The reactivity of both azatrienes and δ-sulfonamido-allenoates in this text, acting as a five-atom unit, is unique in the phosphine-catalyzed annulations of allenoates.

Abstract
We report the development of two complementary methods for the Cu-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov borylation of one specific olefin in 2-substituted [n]dendralenes (n = 3-6). The first protocol operates with a bisphosphine ligand and occurs with high regio- and chemoselectivity for the terminal double bond, independently of the number of cross-conjugated alkenes. We show that the use of a chiral phosphanamine ligand enables the highly chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective borylation of the alkene cross-conjugated with the terminal olefin in [n]dendralenes.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative C-C bond forming cascade reaction of allenes involving a coupling between an enallene and an allenyne followed by a carbocyclization of the generated Pd-intermediate was developed. This cascade reaction afforded functionalized cross-conjugated polyenes. The enallene is initially activated by palladium and reacts with the allenyne to give the cross-conjugated polyenes.

Abstract
Literature reports describe tetraethynylethylene (TEE) as unstable but tetravinylethylene (TVE) as stable. The stabilities of these two known compounds are reinvestigated, along with those of five unprecedented TEE-TVE hybrid compounds. The five new C10 hydrocarbons possess a core, tetrasubstituted C═C bond carrying all possible combinations of vinyl and ethynyl groups. A unified strategy is described for their synthesis, whereupon cross-conjugated ketones are dibromo-olefinated then cross-coupled. Due to an incorrect but nonetheless widely held belief that acyclic π-bond rich hydrocarbons are inherently unstable, a standardized set of robustness tests is introduced. Whereas only TVE survives storage in neat form, all seven hydrocarbons are remarkably robust in dilute solution, generally surviving exposure to moderate heat, light, air, and acid. The first X-ray crystal structure of TEE is reported. Subgroups of hybrids based upon conformational preferences are identified through electronic absorption spectra and associated computational studies. These new acyclic π-bond rich systems have extensive, untapped potential for the production of stable, conjugated carbon-rich materials.

Abstract
Readily available and stable substituted [3]dendralenes undergo highly chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective organocatalyzed Diels-Alder reactions with acrolein to form enantiomerically enriched cycloadducts. These monocycloadducts carry semicyclic dienes that undergo a second, substrate-controlled diastereoselective Diels-Alder reaction with a different dienophile to form 2-fold cycloadducts. Overall, annulated, functional group rich, chiral Δ1(9)-octalin building blocks are accessed in one-pot operations that significantly extend the preparative value of diene-transmissive Diels-Alder sequences since they offer products of regio- and stereochemistry complementary to those generated from the parent, unsubstituted [3]dendralene.

Abstract
Diene-transmissive Diels-Alder (DTDA) sequences are extraordinarily powerful processes for the generation of fused bicyclic systems. Nonetheless, only stable dienophiles have previously been deployed. Herein we report DTDA sequences with a variety of substituted [3]dendralenes in the first study to deploy arynes as dienophiles. We demonstrate the one-flask generation of complex, aromatic-ring-containing, multicyclic systems of relevance to medicinal chemistry. These synthetic operations provide numerous successful examples of the otherwise challenging and rarely reported intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of acyclic 1,3-butadienes with arynes, which is made possible due to the exalted reactivity of dendralenic dienes.
