We present herein an unprecedented stereoselective synthesis of bridged biaryls with defined axial and central chirality from readily available starting materials. This N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed method proceeds through propargylic substitution of azolium enolates followed by two-directional cyclization, as supported by DFT calculation. A range of benzofuran/indole-derived bridged biaryls bearing an eight-membered lactone are accessed with uniformly high stereoselectivity (>98:2 dr, mostly >98% ee).

A unique Rh(ii) and Ru(ii) catalyzed C-H oxygenation of aryl ketones and other arenes has been developed for the facile synthesis of diverse functionalized phenols. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, regio- and chemoselectivity, good functional group compatibility and high yields. The practicality of this method has been proved by gram-scale synthesis of a few different 2-acylphenols. Its utility has been well exemplified in further applications in heterocycle synthesis and direct modifications of drug Fenofibrate.
