A new strategy for the synthesis of benzothiophenes through formal [3+2] annulation of sulfanylacetaldehyde and cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one monoketals has been developed. This approach relies on the ease of aromatization of tetrahydrobenzothiophenone derivatives prepared by the aforementioned protocol. Given the ready accessibility of various substituted cyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-one monoketals, a range of
A facile pyridine-mediated α-halogenation approach to functionalize cyclohexa-2,4-dienones is developed. A range of reactions, including organometallic coupling protocols, have been applied on these newly obtained halogenated cyclohexa-2,4-dienones, and the results are presented herein.
o-Quinone monoketals participated in a 1,4-addition reaction with HCl furnishing m-chlorophenols in high yields. Several readily available o-quinone monoketals were selected to display the generality of this serendipitous and unprecedented reaction and the results are presented herein. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

A Detour Route for meta Functionalization of Phenols
Cyclohexadienones participate in a two-step procedure, a Michael addition followed by aromatization, providing hitherto difficult-to-synthesize meta-functionalized phenol derivatives in good yield. Application of the developed approach is exemplified by synthesizing C-aryl acetophenones, C-aryl glycines, and elemicin - an allylphenol natural product.
[3+2] Cycloaddition of Masked o-Benzoquinones with Azomethine Ylides
A simple and efficient access to highly functionalized isoindolone derivatives via a [3+2] cycloaddition process between in situ generated azomethine ylides with various stable (isolable) masked o-benzoquinones is described. This approach allows a rapid and general synthesis of isoindolones with substituents to further manipulate and elaborate the structural complexity.
