The first [4 + 2] cyclization/retro-Mannich reaction cascade of para-quinone methides with Pd-containing 1,4-dipoles generated in situ from vinyl benzoxazinanones has been established. The corresponding rearrangement products were obtained in generally good yields.

Enantioselective organocatalytic domino reactions of in situ generated ortho-quinone methides with malononitrile and β-functionalized ketones have been developed. This strategy could generate various chiral chromenes in high yields and stereoselectivities.

A new dehydrogenative [4 + 1] annulation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with acyclic and cyclic iodonium ylides has been established, delivering a variety of functionalized 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans with the retention of the quinone methide unit in generally good yields.

A variety of biaryl quinone methides have been photogenerated with a range of efficiencies from biaryl precursors 4–6 and 8, 10, and 11, all having hydroxyl and hydroxymethyl substituents on alternate rings. These novel biaryl quinone methides, which cannot be readily generated via thermal chemistry, are trapped by added nucleophiles such as MeOH and ethanolamine; two that cannot undergo electrocyclic ring closure (from 8 and 11) are readily observable by nanosecond laser photolysis, with long wavelength maxima (λmax) of 600 and 520 nm, respectively. Photogenerated o,o′-biaryl quinone methides undergo electrocyclic ring closure to give the corresponding chromene (pyran) products in high yield. Since the precursor biaryl alcohols have highly twisted structures in the ground state (dihedral angle of up to 90° by molecular mechanics calculations), a significant twisting motion to planarity is required to achieve reaction. Using steady-state fluorescence studies, we present evidence to suggest that the mechanism of quinone methide formation may occur via one of the following mechanisms: (i) dissociation of the proton from ArOH that precedes twisting; or (ii) ArOH dissociation and twisting taking place either simultaneously or in quick succession.Key words: biaryl quinone methide, photosolvolysis, photodeprotonation, photocyclization.

Aza-ortho-quinone methides are an important class of reactive intermediates, which have found broad applications in synthetic chemistry. Recently, 1,4-elimination of ortho-halomethyl aniline derivatives has emerged as a new powerful and convenient method for aza-ortho-quinone methide generation. This review will highlight their recent applications as aza-ortho-quinone methide precursors in annulation reactions to access various biologically important nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The general mechanisms are briefly discussed as well.

: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biomolecule that plays key signaling and protective roles in different physiological processes. With the goals of advancing both the available research tools and the associated therapeutic potential of H2S, researchers have developed different methods to deliver H2S on-demand in different biological contexts. A recent approach to develop such donors has been to design compounds that release carbonyl sulfide (COS), which is quickly converted to H2S in biological systems by the ubiquitous enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA). Although highly diversifiable, many approaches using this general platform release quinone methides or related electrophiles after donor activation. Many such electrophiles are likely scavenged by water, but recent efforts have also expanded alternative approaches that minimize the formation of electrophilic byproducts generated after COS release. This mini-review focuses specifically on recent examples of COS-based H2S donors that do not generate quinone methide byproducts after donor activation.
