PEG-400 [poly(ethylene glycol-400)] was found as an effective medium for the PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2)-catalyzed hydroalkylation cyclization of alkenyl beta-keto esters and amides. In PEG-400, no additives such as Me(3)SiCl and Ln(OTf)(3) were required for the complete conversion of alkenyl beta-keto esters. The results also showed that CuCl(2) could promote the reaction. In the presence of PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2), CuCl(2), and PEG-400, various alkenyl beta-keto esters and amides underwent a selective cyclization reaction to give good to excellent yields of the desired six-membered-ring carbocycles. Furthermore, the PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2)/CuCl(2)/PEG-400 system could be recycled and reused five times without any loss of catalytic activity.

The direct alkenylation with simple alkenes stands out as the most ideal yet challenging strategy for obtaining high-valued desaturated alkanes. Here we present a direct asymmetric dehydrogenative α-C(sp)-H alkenylation of carbonyls based on synergistic photoredox-cobalt-chiral primary amine catalysis under visible light. The ternary catalytic system enables the direct coupling of β-keto-carbonyls and alkenes through a cooperative radical addition-dehydrogenation process involving a chiral α-imino radical and Co(II)-metalloradical intermediate.

An electroreductive strategy for radical hydroxyl fluorosulfonylation of alkenes with sulfuryl chlorofluoride and molecular oxygen from air is described. This mild protocol displays excellent functional group compatibility, broad scope, and good scalability, providing convenient access to diverse β-hydroxy sulfonyl fluorides. These β-hydroxy sulfonyl fluoride products can be further converted to valuable aliphatic sulfonyl fluorides, β-keto sulfonyl fluorides, and β-alkenyl sulfonyl fluorides.

Boronate rearrangements, such as the Matteson and Petasis reactions, are valuable metal-free reactions for the transfer of the carbo group on boron to intramolecular electrophilic sites. However, only highly reactive electrophiles are suitable, and ketones are too inactive for those boronate rearrangements due to the high energy barriers. We disclose here the 1,3-boronate rearrangement to ketones, for which a high energy barrier (44.

Organic xanthates are broadly applied as synthetic intermediates and bioactive molecules in synthetic chemistry. Electrophilic xanthylation represents a promising approach but has rarely been explored mainly due to the lack of powerful electrophilic reagents. Herein, synthetic exploration of electrophilic xanthylation powerful -xanthylphthalimides was investigated.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for enantioselective asymmetric decarboxylative addition was created, involving β-keto acids and 3-alkenyl-oxindoles with an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter.
- The process achieved product yields of 49-98% and enantioselectivities of 88-98% using a small amount of chiral rhodium catalyst (0.04-1.0 mol %).
- This method's practicality was demonstrated by synthesizing a key intermediate that can be easily converted into derivatives of physovenine and physostigmine.
