As two coexisting and fast-growing research fields in modern synthetic chemistry, the
merging of organocatalysis and C–H bond functionalization is well foreseeable, and the joint …

In recent decades, transient and highly reactive ortho-quinodimethanes (o-QDMs), ortho-
quinone methides (o-QMs) and aza-ortho-quinone methides (aza-o-QMs) have attracted …

Functionalized 4H‐chromenes represent one class of the most important structural scaffolds
in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry. They often appear in an arrange of biological …

Abstract ortho-Quinone methides are useful transient synthetic intermediates in organic
synthesis. These species are most often generated in situ by the acid-or base-mediated …

An efficient, solvent-free, and environmentally benign route via mechanochemical means is
described for the synthesis of azo-linked 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives. The four …

In this work, we established catalytic asymmetric [4+ 1] cyclization of ortho‐quinone
methides (o‐QMs) with 3‐chlorooxindoles and a catalytic asymmetric domino oxidation/[4+ …

Abstract Development of new methods of heterocyclic synthesis is still a topical issue. In this
connection, the trend related to the use of highly reactive o-quinone methides for the …

A phosphine-catalyzed highly enantioselective [4+ 2] annulation between ortho-quinone
methides and allene ketones has been developed. The reported method led to the formation …

The enantioselective α‐addition of deconjugated butenolides has rarely been exploited, in
contrast to the well‐studied γ‐addition of deconjugated butenolides. In this study, an …

This review summarizes the very recent advances in organocatalytic asymmetric
cycloaddition reactions involving ortho‐quinone methides (o‐QMs), a family of versatile …
