Bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (BCHs) are becoming ever more important in drug design and development as bridged scaffolds that provide underexplored chemical space, but difficult to access. Here a silver-catalyzed dearomative [2π+2σ] cycloaddition strategy for the synthesis of indoline fused BCHs from N-unprotected indoles bicyclobutane precursors is described. The strain-release operates under mild conditions, tolerating wide range functional groups. It capable forming with up four contiguous quaternary carbon centers, achieving yields 99 %. In addition, scale-up experiment synthetic transformations cycloadducts further highlighted utility.

For nearly 60 years, significant research efforts have been focused on developing strategies for the cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs). However, higher-order and catalytic asymmetric BCBs long-standing formidable challenges. Here, we report Pd-catalyzed ligand-controlled, tunable cycloadditions divergent synthesis bridged bicyclic frameworks. The dppb ligand facilitates formal (5+3) vinyl oxiranes, yielding valuable eight-membered ethers with scaffolds in 100% regioselectivity. Cy-DPEphos promotes selective hetero-[2σ+2σ] to access pharmacologically important 2-oxabicyclo[3.1.1]heptane (O-BCHeps). Furthermore, corresponding O-BCHeps 94–99% ee has achieved using chiral (S)-DTBM-Segphos, representing first cross-dimerization two strained rings. obtained are promising bioisosteres ortho-substituted benzenes.

Bridged bicyclic scaffolds are emerging bioisosteres of planar aromatic rings under the concept "escape from flatland". However, adopting this into exploration pyridines remains elusive due to challenge incorporating a N atom such bridged structures. Herein, we report practical routes for divergent synthesis 2- and 3-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptenes (aza-BCHepes) as potential readily accessible vinyl azides bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) via two distinct catalytic annulations. The reactivity tailored with BCBs is key achieving transformations. Ti
