Abstract
A Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed formal (4 + 3) cycloaddition reaction of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with 3-benzylideneindoline-2-thiones as sulfur-containing 4π components has been successfully achieved. A series of functionalized 5,10-dihydro-2H-thiepino[2,3-b]indole derivatives were synthesized with good yields and moderate to good diastereoselectivity. The reaction described herein represented the inaugural (4 + 3) cycloaddition of 3-benzylideneindoline-2-thiones.

Abstract
An Ag/Au-catalyzed divergent cascade reaction of alkyne embedded diazoketones with indoles has been described. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction goes through a [4+2]-cycloaddition of an in situ formed isobenzopyrylium intermediate with indole, followed by a sequential retro-Michael addition/carbene N-H insertion process to give the benzo[i]phenanthridines products with gold catalysis; whereas a dearomatization/rearomatization sequence occurs favourably when the reaction is catalyzed by a silver catalyst, delivering benzo[b]carbazoles in generally high to excellent yields. Notably, this is a rare example of using indole as the dienophile for cycloaddition with the isobenzopyrylium species, providing a concise and practical approach for the selective construction of N-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with structural diversity and broad functional-group compatibility.

Abstract
A mild method for an efficient synthesis of C3-naphthyl indoles from o-alkynylacetophenones has been developed. This Ag-catalyzed transformation is assisted by the acetal formed under the reaction condition employing trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF). The role of acetal in promoting the reaction under ambient conditions has been established with control experiments. A range of C3-naphthyl indole derivatives have been synthesized in moderate to very good yields.

Abstract
Developing efficient strategies for synthesizing novel diazocine compounds is valuable because their use has been limited by their synthetic accessibility. This work describes the catalytic (4+3) cycloaddition reaction of carbonyl ylides with azoalkenes generated in situ. The rhodium-catalyzed cascade reaction features good atom and step economy, providing the first access to oxo-bridged diazocines. The product could be synthesized on a gram scale and converted into diversely substituted dihydroisobenzofurans.

Abstract
An oxocarbenium-olefin cross metathesis occurs during Brønsted acid catalyzed reactions of 1H-isochromene acetals with vinyl diazo compounds. Formally a carbonyl-alkene [2 + 2]-cyclization between isobenzopyrylium ions and the vinyl group of vinyl diazoesters, the retro-[2 + 2] cycloaddition produces a tethered alkene and a vinyl diazonium ion that, upon loss of dinitrogen, undergoes a highly selective carbocationic cascade rearrangements to diverse products whose formation is controlled by reactant substituents. Polysubstituted benzobicyclo[3.3.1]oxocines, benzobicyclo[3.2.2]oxepines, benzobicyclopropane, and naphthalenes are obtained in good to excellent yields and selectivities. Furthermore, isotopic tracer and control experiments shed light on the oxocarbenium-olefin metathesis/rearrangement process as well as on the origin of the interesting substituent-dependent selectivity.

Abstract
Efficient asymmetric synthesis of a collection of small molecules with structural diversity is highly important to drug discovery. Herein, three distinct types of chiral cyclic compounds were accessible by enantioselective catalysis and sequential transformations. Highly regio- and enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of (E)-alkenyloxindoles with the internal C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond of N-allenamides was achieved with N,N'-dioxide/Ni(OTf)2 as the catalyst. Various optically active spirocyclobutyl oxindole derivatives were obtained under mild conditions. Moreover, formal [4+2] cycloaddition products occurring at the terminal C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond of N-allenamides, dihydropyran-fused indoles, were afforded by a stereospecific sequential transformation with the assistance of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2. In contrast, performing the conversion under air led to the formation of γ-lactones via the water-involved deprotection and rearrangement process. Experimental studies and DFT calculations were performed to probe the reaction mechanism.
