Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions have evolved into an efficient strategy for accessing chiral polycyclic and spirocyclic scaffolds from readily available planar aromatics. Despite the significant developments, the CADA reaction of naphthalenes remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report a Gd(III)-catalyzed asymmetric dearomatization reaction of naphthalene with a chiral PyBox ligand via visible-light-enabled [4 + 2] cycloaddition. This reaction features application of a chiral Gd/PyBox complex, which regulates the reactivity and selectivity simultaneously, in excited-state catalysis. A wide range of functional groups is compatible with this protocol, giving the highly enantioenriched bridged polycycles in excellent yields (up to 96%) and selectivity (up to >20:1 chemoselectivity, >20:1 dr, >99% ee). The synthetic utility is demonstrated by a 2 mmol scale reaction, removal of directing group, and diversifications of products. Preliminary mechanistic experiments are performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions have become fundamental chemical transformations in organic synthesis since they allow for the generation of three-dimensional complexity from two-dimensional precursors, bridging arene feedstocks with alicyclic structures. When those processes are applied to pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines, partially or fully saturated nitrogen heterocycles are formed, which are among the most significant structural components of pharmaceuticals and natural products. The inherent challenge of those transformations lies in the low reactivity of heteroaromatic substrates, which makes the dearomatization process thermodynamically unfavorable. Usually, connecting the dearomatization event to the irreversible formation of a strong C-C, C-H, or C-heteroatom bond compensates the energy required to disrupt the aromaticity. This aromaticity breakup normally results in a 1,2- or 1,4-functionalization of the heterocycle. Moreover, the combination of these dearomatization processes with subsequent transformations in tandem or stepwise protocols allows for multiple heterocycle functionalizations, giving access to complex molecular skeletons. The aim of this review, which covers the period from 2016 to 2022, is to update the state of the art of nucleophilic dearomatizations of pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines, showing the extraordinary ability of the dearomative methodology in organic synthesis and indicating their limitations and future trends.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient and easily operable method to halohydroxylate pyridiniums through an interrupted dearomative reduction strategy. In this process, we make the most of the halide anion from the pyridinium salts by performing the reaction in DMSO without the need of external HX added. Notably, by changing the solvents from DMSO into Et2O, the bimolecular C3-C2 coupling occurs successfully.

Abstract
The preparation of bridged benzo[1,5]oxazocines and benzo[1,4]diazepines is demonstrated from simple aniline and aldehyde starting materials. A one-pot condensation/6π electrocyclization is followed by an intramolecular trapping of the 2,3-dihydroquinoline intermediate by nitrogen or oxygen nucleophiles to give bridged seven- and eight-membered products. Using 3-hydroxypyridinecarboxaldehydes results in a stable zwitterionic structure that can undergo a diastereoselective reduction under hydrogenative conditions. A similar cyclization/hydrogenation pathway with excellent diastereoselectivity is also demonstrated from 2-pyridyl-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines.

Abstract
By a hydroamination-induced tandem annulation process, we herein report a new three-component reaction for room temperature construction of carbo-bridged polyheterocycles with exclusive diastereoselectivity, which features readily available feedstocks, catalyst-free conditions, good substrate and functionality compatibility, no need for transition metal catalysts, and high step and atom efficiency. The products are formed via initial formation of 1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one nucleophiles from but-2-ynedioates and hydrazine followed by 2,4-difunctionalization of N-heteroarenium salts. Given that the obtained products possess structurally important tetrahydroquinoline and pyranopyrazole motifs, the developed chemistry is anticipated to be further applied to the discovery of functional molecules including biomedical ones.

Abstract
Bridged polycyclic ring systems constitute the core structures of numerous natural products and biologically active molecules. We found that simple biphenyl substrates derived from amino acids participate in a radical cascade reaction under visible light irradiation in the presence of [Ir{dF(CF3)ppy}2(dtbpy)]PF6 to enable the direct construction of bicyclo[2.2.2]octene structures. Isotopic labeling experiments suggested that intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer is involved in the cascade processes.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions provide a rapid approach to construct complicated molecules that are difficult to synthesize by traditional methods from simple aromatic compounds. Herein, we report an efficient dearomative [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of 2-alkynyl pyridines with diarylcyclopropenones, leading to the synthesis of densely functionalized indolizinones in moderate to good yields under metal-free conditions. In addition, this strategy can also be employed in dearomative cyclization of isoquinolines to access a variety of benzo-fused indolizinones. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that an appropriate substituent at the 2-position of pyridine is crucial to the dearomatization process.

Abstract
Dearomatisation reactions of (hetero)arenes have been widely employed as efficient methods to obtain highly substituted saturated cyclic compounds for over a century. In recent years, research in this area has shifted towards effecting additional C-C bond formation during the overall dearomative process. Moving away from classical hydrogenation-based strategies a wide range of reagents were found to be capable of initiating dearomatisation through nucleophilic addition (typically a reduction) or photochemically induced radical addition. The dearomatisation process gives rise to reactive intermediates which can be intercepted in an intra- or intermolecular fashion to deliver products with significantly increased molecular complexity when compared to simple dearomatisation. In this Perspective recent examples and strategies for the dearomative functionalisation of heteroaromatic systems will be discussed.

Abstract
Recently, direct C-H bond activation and functionalization has become a prodigious and hot topic among synthetic organic chemists due to its step-economic nature and substantial synthetic versatility. On the other hand, quinoxaline, a fused bicycle of benzene and pyrazine, has omnipresent applications in medicinal-, industrial- and materials chemistry. The presence of the N-1 atom in 2-arylquinoxaline enables chelation formation with a metal catalyst leading to the formation of ortho-substituted products. In this review, all articles related to the ortho C-H bond functionalization of 2-arylquinoxalines published up to May 2022 are highlighted.

Abstract
Herein we disclose a mild protocol for the reductive functionalisation of quinolinium and isoquinolinium salts. The reaction proceeds under transition-metal-free conditions as well as under rhodium catalysis with very low catalyst loadings (0.01 mol %) and uses inexpensive formic acid as the terminal reductant. A wide range of electrophiles, including enones, imides, unsaturated esters and sulfones, β-nitro styrenes and aldehydes are intercepted by the in situ formed enamine species forming a large variety of substituted tetrahydro(iso)quinolines. Electrophiles are incorporated at the C-3 and C-4 position for quinolines and isoquinolines respectively, providing access to substitution patterns which are not favoured in electrophilic or nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Finally, this reactivity was exploited to facilitate three types of annulation reactions, giving rise to complex polycyclic products of a formal [3+3] or [4+2] cycloaddition.

Abstract
Dearomatization reactions have recently emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid buildup of molecular complexity. Here, an unparalleled thermal dearomatization [4+2] cycloaddition reaction between benzene derivatives and a 2H-phosphindole tungsten complex was reported. The unique reactivity of the in situ-generated 2H-phosphindole complex toward benzene was revealed by density functional theory calculations. We thus provide new insights into the dearomatization of nonactivated arenes and pave the way for the manipulation of the dearomatization for further applications.

Abstract
In this manuscript, the first enantioselective dearomative Michael addition between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 2-nitrobenzofurans realized under N-heterocyclic carbene activation has been described. The reaction proceeds via addition of homoenolate to Michael acceptors leading to the formation of biologically important heterocycles with high yields and stereoselectivities. Their functionalization potential has been confirmed in selected, diastereoselective transformations.

Abstract
We report an unexpected dearomative periphery modification strategy for transforming quinolinium salts into structurally crowded pyrrolidine-tetrahydroquinoline polycyclic systems with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. Importantly, the reaction pathway was regulated by simply tuning the substituents, achieving substituent-directed divergent synthesis. The notable features of this transformation include readily available starting materials, green conditions, a simple workup procedure, high bond- and ring-forming efficiency, and substituent-directed diverse synthesis.

Abstract
A direct aza-Diels-Alder reaction between 2-aryl-3H-indolin-3-ones and cyclic-enones has been developed to access chiral indolin-3-one fused polycyclic bridged compounds. This method proceeds via proline-catalyzed Barbas-dienamine intermediate formation from various cyclic-enones such as 2-cyclopenten-1-one, 2-cyclohexene-1-one, and 2-cycloheptene-1-one, followed by a reaction with 2-aryl-3H-indol-3-ones. Several indolin-3-ones fusing [2.2.2], [2.2.1], and [3.2.1] skeletons decorated with a tertiary carbon chiral center have been prepared. Computational studies (DFT) supported the observed stereoselectivity in the method. The synthesized compounds have shown exciting photophysical activities and selective sensing of Pd2+ and Fe3+ ions through the fluorescence quenching "switch-off" mode.

Abstract
Simultaneous deconstructive ring-opening and skeletal reconstruction of an inert, aromatic pyridinium ring is of great importance in synthetic communities. However, research in this area is still in its infancy. Here, a skeletal re-modeling strategy was developed to transform chalcone-based pyridinium salts into structurally intriguing polycyclic isoindolines through a dearomative ring-opening/ring-closing sequence. Two distinct driving forces for the deconstruction of the pyridinium core were involved in these transformations. One was the unprecedented harnessing of the instability of in situ generated cyclic β-aminoketones, and the other was the instability of the resultant N,N-ketals. The desired isoindoline polycycles could undergo the Wittig reaction with various phosphorus ylides to achieve structural diversity and complexity. Notably, by tuning the Wittig conditions by addition of one equivalent of base, an additional bridged ring was introduced. A plausible mechanism was proposed on the basis of control experiments and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
C-H activation and functionalization is quite promising in recent days as the strategy offers a go-to general method for different bond formations and hence grants synthetic versatility. At the same time, imidazopyridine, a fused bicycle of imidazole moiety with pyridine ring, has a profound impact due to its ubiquitous and prodigious application in medicinal as well as material chemistry. The presence of N-1 atom in 2-arylImidazo[1,2-a]pyridine facilitates the coordination with metal catalysts leading to the formation of ortho-substituted products. This review summarizes all the articles on ortho C-H functionalization of 2-arylImidazo[1,2-a]pyridines published till August 2021.
