The first catalyticasymmetric arylative dearomatization of tryptophols has been established. By using quinoneimineketals as aryl group surrogates and modulating the reaction conditions, the cascade reaction of tryptophols with quinoneimineketals in the presence of chiral phosphoric acid afforded two series of arylative dearomatization products with generally high yields (up to 99%), excellent

The first organocatalytic oxyarylation of styrenes has been established through a cascade of vinylogous Michael adclition/alkoxyl transfer reactions of o- or p-hydroxylstyrenes with quinone imine ketals. The process leads to a highly chemo- and regioselective oxyarylation of styrenes and provides access to m-alkylated anilines in generally high yields and excellent diastereoselectivity (up to 99% yield, >95:5 dr). An investigation of the reaction pathway revealed that the existence and position of the hydroxyl group of styrene played crucial roles in the cascade reaction, suggesting that the two reactants were simultaneously activated by binaphthyl-derived phosphoric acid via hydrogen bonding interactions and long-distance conjugative effects. In addition, the activating group of the hydroxyl functionality in the products can be easily removed or transformed, demonstrating the applicability and utility of this strategy in styrene oxyarylation and in the synthesis of styrene-based compounds.
