Abstract
Diverse nucleophilic carbon–electrophilic carbon σ-bonds were found to undergo facile cleavage and to add across carbon–carbon triple bonds of arynes without the aid of transition-metal catalysts, leading to the direct introduction of different carbon functionalities into the ortho-positions of aromatic rings. Active methylene compounds including β-dicarbonyl compounds, α-cyanocarbonyl compounds, sulfonylacetonitrile, and malononitrile smoothly underwent the aryne insertion reactions, and, moreover, the reaction was applicable to fluorene and trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives. The total synthesis of cytosporone B and phomopsin C, depending upon the carbon–carbon bond cleavage reaction, is also described.

Lithium (or sodium) enolates and α-lithionitriles underwent this type of reaction under strongly basic conditions using aryl halides as aryne precursors, see:
Stoltz and co-workers also reported natural product synthesis (amurensinine, curvularin and curvulin) utilizing the aryne insertion into carbon–carbon bonds, see:
