A cyclic carbonyl ylide with a trans-annulated cyclopentane ring was generated by a Rh(2)(OAc)(4)-catalyzed reaction from a diazoketone precursor and trapped with allyl propiolate. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition led to the stereoselective formation of an oxygen-bridged polycycle. Via Curtius degradation, the cycloadduct was transformed to the ring skeleton typical of the sesquiterpene family of guaianolides.

Herein, we present a visible-light-induced protocol for the synthesis of highly functionalized oxo-bridged oxocine skeletons. This method generates carbenes via visible-light-induced ortho-acyl diazo compounds, which are rapidly intercepted by the oxygen atom of an intermolecular acyl group to form a cyclic 1,3-dipole. The in situ generated highly reactive 1,3-dipole undergoes a facile formal [4 + 3] cycloaddition with alkenyl pyrazolinone, yielding [4.

A novel study on the hypervalent iodine-mediated polyfluoroalkylation of sulfoxonium ylides was developed. Sulfoxonium ylides, known for their versatility and stability, are promising substrates for numerous transformations in synthetic chemistry. This report demonstrates the successful derivatization of sulfoxonium ylides with trifluoroethyl or tetrafluoropropyl groups, and provides valuable insights into the scope and limitations of this approach.

Geminal bromofluoroalkenes are an important subclass of versatile organic interhalide, which can serve as useful synthetic precursors to monofluoroalkenes that are valuable amide group isosteres. Nonetheless, despite the vast advancement of olefination methodologies, the broadly applicable stereoselective synthesis remained elusive for geminal bromofluoroalkenes before our work. In particular, the seemingly straightforward Wittig-type approach with interhalogenated phosphorus ylide has been unsuccessful because of the difficulty in the diastereoselective oxaphosphetane formation.

The cascade carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bond formation between generated carbonyl ylides and azaoxyallyl cations, facilitated by Rh-catalysis and a base, has been achieved to furnish oxa-benzo[]azepin-3-ones. Substrate scope, functional group diversity, scale-up and post-synthetic utilities are the important practical features.

The advance of organic synthesis and the discovery of novel chemical transformations are often propelled by the rational programming of various bond-forming mechanisms and sequences that involve delicate reactive intermediates. In this study, we present an innovative Rh(ii)-catalyzed asymmetric three-component cascade reaction involving I/P-hybrid ylides, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids for the synthesis of 1,3-dioxoles with moderate to good yields and high enantioselectivity. This method utilizes I/P-hybrid ylides as carbene precursors to form α-P-Rh-carbenes, which initiate the formation of carbonyl ylides, followed by stereoselective cyclization with carboxylate anions and an intramolecular Wittig olefination cascade, ultimately resulting in the modular assembly of chiral 1,3-dioxoles.
