“…[1,2] Thus,m uch attention has been paid. To date,aseries of successful examples of enantioselective dearomatizations of phenols and naphthols have been realized by using oxidative [3] and non-oxidative [4][5][6][7][8] strategies.R emarkably,t he non-oxidative dearomatization reactions have been developed for the asymmetric installation of various functionalities adjacent to ac arbonyl group by using different electrophiles such as nitroethylenes, [4] azodicarboxylates, [5] aziridines, [6] halogenation reagents, [7] activated propargylic compounds, [8] etc.D espite these impressive advances,arejuvenation of the CADAreaction by exploring new types of electrophiles,toenrich the application scope of these transformations,isstill challenging and highly desirable.…”
