We report here on a highly efficient catalytic method to synthesize intermolecularly the cyclopentane skeleton from starting products as simple as allyl halides, alkynes, and carbon monoxide under very mild reaction conditions by means of a substoichiometric amount of iron, acetone, and a catalytic amount of Ni(II) iodide.

We report herein a palladium-catalyzed distal alkylation of silyldienol and silyltrienol ethers of enones through coupling with activated halides to achieve new - and -alkylated motifs. Additionally, by employing propargyl bromides, synthetically useful linear allenes along with functionalized enones have been synthesized. Low-catalyst loading, and late-stage transformations of pharmaceutically relevant molecules further showcase the importance of the present protocol.

Ni-catalyzed multicomponent cross-couplings have emerged as a powerful strategy for efficiently constructing complex molecular architectures from a diverse array of organic halides. Despite its potential, selectively forming multiple chemical bonds in a single operation, particularly in the realm of cross-electrophile coupling catalysis, remains a significant challenge. In this study, we have developed a consecutive open-shell reductive Ni catalysis, enabling the formation of two geminal C(sp)-C(sp) bonds from two stereoelectronically similar C(sp)-I reactants in conjunction with a methylene electrophile.

Organolithium reagents, known for their low cost, ready availability, and high reactivity, allow fast cross-coupling under ambient conditions. However, their direct cross-coupling with fluoroalkyl electrophiles remains a formidable challenge due to the easy formation of thermo-unstable fluoroalkyl lithium species during the reaction, which are prone to decomposition via rapid α/β-fluoride elimination. Here, we exploit heteroatom-stabilized allylic anions to harness the exceptional reactivity of organolithium reagents, enabling the compatibility of difluoroalkyl halides and facilitating versatile and precise fluorine functionality introduction under mild conditions.

Photoinduced excited-state Pd catalysis has emerged as an intriguing strategy for unlocking new reactivity potential of simple substrates. However, the related transformations are still limited and the enantiocontrol remains challenging. Organocatalysis displays unique capability in substrate activation and stereocontrol.

Selective functionalization of ubiquitous C-H bonds based on 1,-metal migration provides an attractive and sustainable route to access complex molecules from readily available precursors. Herein, we report a Co-catalyzed asymmetric reductive migratory Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) coupling between two readily available electrophiles, aryl (pseudo)halides and aldehydes, via an unprecedented through-space aryl-to-alkenyl 1,4-cobalt/hydride shift. The judicious choice of ligands is crucial for selectivity, leading to either ipso- or migratory NHK products with exquisite control of regio-, /-, and enantioselectivity.
