A benzyne-mediated esterification of carboxylic acids and alcohols under mild conditions has been realized, which is made possible via a selective nucleophilic addition of carboxylic acid to benzyne in the presence of alcohol. After a subsequent transesterification with alcohol, the corresponding esters can be produced efficiently. This benzyne-mediated protocol can be used on the modification of Ibuprofen, cholesterol, estradiol, and synthesis of nandrolone phenylpropionate. In addition, benzyne can also be used to promote lactonization and amidation reaction.

Both 1,2,4-trisubstitution and dearomative 1,2,4-trifunctionalization of benzyne have been accomplished from sulfoxides bearing a penta-2,4-dien-1-yl moiety. These cascade transformations proceed through a benzyne insertion into the S═O bond and an uncommon regiospecific anionic [4,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement, furnishing a C-O, C-S, and C-C bond on the C1-, C2-, and C4-position of a benzene ring, respectively. This study showcases new cascade benzyne reaction modes involving both distal C-H bond functionalization and dearomatization.

A highly efficient transition-metal-free general method for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons like phenanthrenes and chrysenes (and tetraphene) from β-bromovinylarenes and arynes has been developed. The reactions proceed via an aryne Diels-Alder (ADA) reaction, followed by a facile aromatization. This is the first report on direct construction of chrysenes (and tetraphene) using the ADA approach. Unlike the literature method which is limited to only 9/10-substituted derivatives, this method gives access to a wide variety of functionalized phenanthrenes.
