Aromatic compounds possess a particular fragrance and are widely present in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Among them, benzenes are the most abundant substructures of commercially available small-molecule drugs. Therefore, a variety of synthetic methodologies for the construction of aromatic compounds have been pursued vigorously and some significant progresses have been achieved. The dominant methods are transition metal-catalyzed benzannulation of enynes with alkynes to construct the functionalized benzenes. The synthesis of substituted benzene derivatives receives constant attentions since the formation and development of organocatalysis. Compared to metal catalysis, the organocatalytic benzannulation reaction avoids the introduction of a direct group into the pre-existed arene ring and appears to be tolerant of a broad range of substrates. While organocatalysis has emerged as a promising green and effieient synthetic tool and attracted a great deal of attention from synthetic chemists. The development of organocatalyzed aromatization reactions from acyclic starting materials is featured.
