TL;DR: Recent advances on multicomponent domino reactions for the construction of five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocyclic skeletons and their multicyclic derivatives are covered.

TL;DR: A catalytic domino spirocyclization of 1,7-enynes with simple cycloalkanes and cyclo-1,3-dicarbonyls has been established via multiple C-C bond formations from alkynyl/alkenyl functions and dual α,α-C(sp(3))-H abstraction/insertion.

TL;DR: A metal-free cycloaddition and 1,4-addition sequence induced by S-centered radicals has been achieved by treating benzene-linked allene-ynes with aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and DABCO-bis(sulfur dioxide) in a one-pot procedure, providing a greener and more practical access to functionalized cyclobuta[a]naphthalen-4-ols with valuable applications.

TL;DR: The first catalytic enantioselective construction of a 3,3'-pyrrolidinyldispirooxindole scaffold has been established via organocatalytic asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of isatin-derived azomethine ylides with methyleneindolinones.

TL;DR: This review highlights the recent progress in this rapidly growing area by presenting a series of catalytic oxidative reactions, mechanisms and applications which have appeared in the most recent literature.
