Transition metal-catalyzed carbonylative reaction with CO gas are among the central task in organic synthesis, enabling the construction of highly valuable carbonyl compound. Here, we show an earth-abundant nickel-catalyzed three-component tandem acylzincation/cyclization sequence of allene and alkylzinc reagent with 1 atm of CO under mild conditions. This protocol is featured by broad functional group tolerance with high reaction selectivity, providing a rapid and convenient synthetic method for the construction of diverse fully substituted benzotropone derivatives.

Reactions that cleave C-C bonds and enable functionalization at both carbon sites are powerful strategic tools in synthetic chemistry. Stereodefined cyclopropyl ketones have become readily available and would be an ideal source of 3-carbon fragments, but general approaches to net C-C activation / difunctionalization are unknown. Herein we demonstrate the cross-coupling of cyclopropyl ketones with organozinc reagents and chlorotrimethylsilane to form 1,3-difunctionalized, ring-opened products.

The construction of Csp-Csp bonds through Negishi-type reactions using alkylzinc reagents as the pronucleophiles is of great importance for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, the use of air and moisture sensitive solutions of conventional alkylzinc halides, which show unsatisfying reactivity and limitation of generality in twofold Csp-Csp cross-couplings, still represents drawbacks. We herein report the first preparation of solid and salt-stabilized alkylzinc pivalates by OPiv-coordination, which exhibit enhanced stability and a distinct advantage of reacting well in cobalt-catalyzed difluoroalkylation-alkylation of dienoates, thus achieving the modular and site-selective installation of CF- and Csp-groups across double bonds in a stereoretentive manifold.

The selective transition-metal catalyzed C-F bond functionalization of inexpensive industrial fluorochemicals represents one of the most attractive approaches to valuable fluorinated compounds. However, the selective C(sp )-F bond carbofunctionalization of refrigerant hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) remains challenging. Here, we report a nickel-catalyzed selective C(sp )-F bond alkylation of HFO-1234yf with alkylzinc reagents.

Unnatural α-amino acids are important synthetic targets in the field of peptide science. Herein we report an efficient, versatile, and straightforward strategy for the synthesis of homophenylalanine derivatives via the nickel-catalyzed Csp-Csp cross-coupling of (fluoro)benzyl bromides/chlorides with natural α-amino-acid-derived alkylzinc reagents. The current protocol features the advantages of a low-cost nickel catalyst system, synthetic convenience, and the tolerance of rich functionality and stereochemistry.
