promote a highly regioselective catalytic C–C bondactivation reaction of saturated and unsaturated carbonylcompounds. The cationic Ru–H complex 1 was found to be an effective catalyst for mediating the coupling reaction of 1,2-disubstituted indoles with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, in which the regioselective Cα–Cβ activation of the carbonyl substrates has been achieved in forming the 3-alkylindole
Synthesis of C<sub>60</sub>-Fused Tetrahydrocarbazole/Dibenzothiophene/Benzothiophene and Dibenzofuran Derivatives via Metal-Free Oxidative Dehydrogenative Carboannulation
A transition-metal-free oxidative dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been developed for the direct construction of novel C60-fused tetrahydrocarbazoles, dibenzothiophenes, benzothiophenes, and dibenzofurans. This new carboannulation reaction features high atom economy, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional-group tolerance and provides a convenient access to a scarce

ortho‐quinodimethanes (oQDMs) from 2‐methyl‐3‐alkylmethylindoles by either a metal‐free DDQ‐ or BQ‐mediated dehydrogenative process was developed. These oQDMs were trapped by electron‐deficient dienophiles to provide a facile approach to synthetically valuable tetrahydrocarbazoles, carbazoles, and hetereoacenes. The salient features of this transformation include direct C(sp3)H bond functionalizations
An initial study has been accomplished into the synthetic feasibility of the preparation of diarylcarbenium salt via the direct coupling of aryl (or heteroaryl) aldehydes and arenes (or heteroaryl analogues) in the presence of a strong organic Brønsted acid. A number of stabilized aryl or heteroaryl(3-indolyl)carbenium ions, never previously prepared in the solid state, have been isolated in excellent
