Rhodium(I)-catalyzed cyclization of allenynes with a tethered carbonyl group was investigated. An unusual insertion of a CO bond into the C(sp(2) )-rhodium bond of a rhodacycle intermediate occurs via a highly strained transition state. Direct reductive elimination from the obtained rhodacyle intermediate proceeds to give a tricyclic product containing an 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane skeleton, while β-hydride elimination from the same intermediate gives products that contain fused five- and seven-membered rings in high yields.

1,4-Azaborine-based arenes are promising electroluminescent emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), offering narrow emission spectra and high quantum yields due to a multi-resonance (MR) effect. However, their practical application is constrained by their limited operational stability. This study investigates the degradation mechanism of MR-TADF molecules.

Divergent synthesis of valuable molecules through common starting materials and metal catalysis represents a longstanding challenge and a significant research goal. We here describe chemodivergent, highly enantio- and regioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive and dehydrogenative coupling reactions of alkynes, aldehydes, and silanes. A single chiral Ni-based catalyst is leveraged to directly prepare three distinct enantioenriched products (silyl-protected trisubstituted chiral allylic alcohols, oxasilacyclopentenes, and silicon-stereogenic oxasilacyclopentenes) in a single chemical operation.

Article Synopsis
- A new photocatalytic method has been developed for synthesizing 1,4-benzoxazepine using 2-alkoxyarylaldehyde and -arylglycine.
- This process is mild, efficient, and can be completed in just 2 hours at room temperature with light and nitrogen.
- Mechanistic studies show that it involves the decarboxylation and cyclization of -arylglycine, offering an easy route to create different substituted 1,4-benzoxazepine compounds.

A new one-pot approach was developed for the construction of pyrano[3,2-]chromene-2,5-diones by reacting 4-hydroxycoumarins with ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoates in the presence of ammonium salts or aminocrotonates under solvent-free conditions. The title compounds were formed by intramolecular cyclization through new C-C and C-O bonds. Structure assignment of compound 3e was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.

Isoxazolidines are structurally important scaffolds in many natural products and bioactive compounds. Herein, we report a novel synthetic method for isoxazolidine derivatives through visible-light-induced photoredox cascade cyclization of nitroarenes with triethylamine under aerobic conditions. The resultant 5-hydroxyl isoxazolidine compounds were generally obtained in moderate yields with a broad range of compatible functionalities.
