The functionalization of indoles in the carbocyclic ring has been achieved via organocatalytic enantioselective Friedel-Crafts benzhydrylation of hydroxyindoles with in situ generated ortho-quinomethanes in oil-water biphases, allowing an efficient access to varied diarylindolylmethanes with a wide substrate scope. The high yields, excellent stereoselectivities, mild conditions, low catalyst loading, and easy scalability also demonstrated the interest of this novel methodology.

A bifunctional squaramide-catalyzed reaction of pyrazolin-5-ones with o-quinone methides in situ generated from 2-(1-tosylalkyl)phenols has been successfully developed, providing a facile access to chiral pyrazolones with high enantioselectivities. In addition, the chiral spiropyrazolones with adjacent tertiary and quaternary stereogenic centers can also be obtained through cascade chlorination/cyclization of the chiral pyrazolones.

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 unprecedented asymmetric α-addition/transesterification of deconjugated butenolides with ortho-quinone methides generated in situ afforded a series of functionalized 3,4-dihydrocoumarins containing two contiguous stereogenic centers with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. DFT calculations suggested that the rarely observed regioselectivity was due to the distortion energy that resulted from the interaction between the nucleophilic dienolate and the electrophilic ortho-quinone methide.
