A copper-catalyzed chemodivergent approach to five- and six-membered benzocycles from dienyl arenes tethered with a ketone has been developed. Through proper choice of coordinating ligands and catalytic conditions, copper-catalyzed borylative cyclization of a single dienyl arene can be diverted to two different pathways, leading to indanols and dihydronaphthalenols with high stereoselectivity. The chiral bidentate bisphosphine ligand (S,S)-Ph-BPE was optimal for asymmetric copper-allyl addition to a tethered ketone via a boat-like transition state, whereas NHC ligands led to boro-allyl addition producing indanols with high diastereoselectivity.

We describe a copper-catalyzed intramolecular reductive cyclization of easily accessible benz-tethered 1,3-dienes containing a ketone moiety. This process provided biologically active 1,2-dihydronaphthalene-1-ol derivatives in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic investigations using density functional theory revealed that (Z)- and (E)-allylcopper intermediates formed in situ from the diene and copper catalyst undergo isomerization and selective intramolecular allylation of the (E)-allylcopper form of the major product through a six-membered boatlike transition state. The resulting products were further transformed to fully saturated naphthalene-1-ols by reactions of the olefin moiety.

A new strategy to obtain o-NQM intermediates through a ring-formation strategy by Ag(I)-catalyzed cyclization of 2-alkenylphenyl alkynyl ketones and its [4 + 2] annulations with styrenes has been developed. This reaction features high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, as well as flexible substitutions and atom economy. The obtained benzo[h]chromane products were further oxidized to naphthopyryliums, which displayed tunable photophysical properties.

A convenient one-pot synthesis of benzoboroxoles has been developed via the reaction of o-bromobenzyl alcohols with NaH, nBuLi, and B(OiPr)3 followed by acidic hydrolysis. Applications of these benzoboroxoles have been demonstrated in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and the protocol has been extended for the synthesis of a chiral benzoboroxole. Exceptionally short synthesis of a potent antifungal agent AN2690 and several of its analogs has also been realized.
