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 …

Quinone methides (QMs) are highly reactive compounds that have been defined as “elusive”
intermediates, or even as a “synthetic enigma” in organic chemistry. Indeed, there were just …

This review summarizes recent advances in catalytic asymmetric reactions of o-quinone
methides, an important family of species for organic synthesis. In the past decade, various …

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 …

We report herein a powerful and highly stereoselective protocol for the domino‐type reaction
of diazoesters with ortho‐quinone methides generated in situ to furnish densely …

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 …

This review is focused on the enantioselective synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyran derivatives,
whose importance as chiral building blocks in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and …

A catalytic asymmetric [4+ 2] cycloaddition of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) is described.
With the readily available vinyl sulfides as the key 2π partner and a properly chosen chiral …

Aza‐ortho‐quinone methides allow the straightforward asymmetric synthesis of natural‐
product‐inspired indole scaffolds possessing a quaternary stereocenter. Our approach …

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+ …
