Abstract
A simple and efficient method for the ruthenium-catalyzed 1,6-hydroalkylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with ketones via the in situ activation of C(sp3)-H bonds has been disclosed. Without the need for preactivation of the substrates and oxidant, a broad range of p-QMs and ketones are well tolerated, producing the expected 1,6-hydroalkylation products with moderate to good yields. Step-by-step control experiments and DFT calculation were conducted systematically to gain insights for the plausible reaction mechanism. This finding may have potential application in the selective diarylmethylation of ketones at the α-C position in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The unique reactivity of indolyl-substituted p-QMs as a new type of two-carbon synthon has been explored for the first time in a novel iron(III)-catalyzed tandem annulation. This (2+2) annulation/retro-4π electrocyclization/imino-Nazarov cyclization cascade reaction is characterized by an unusual structural reconstruction of indolyl-substituted p-QMs, leading to an expeditious assembly of synthetically important functionalized cyclopenta[b]indoles.
