A one-step conversion of allylic nitro compounds to substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans has been developed. Allylic nitro compounds, which are readily available from nitroalkenes and formaldehyde, underwent a double allylic substitution reaction catalyzed by a palladium complex to give 2,3-dihydrofurans in good yield.

We report here the first example of a copper-catalyzed transformation involving nitro allyl derivatives. This borylation reaction, which exploits the high versatility of the aforementioned precursor, tolerates a variety of functional groups and allows practical, scalable, and highly straightforward access to diversely substituted allylboronic esters in high yields. The method was also extended to allyl sulfones, which provides a very complementary approach, offering additional structural diversity along with improved stereoselectivities.

The aggregation state of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) within a polymer matrix plays a crucial role. Molecular interactions are key driving forces for aggregation, and one of the key physical parameters is the dipole moment (DPM). Quantum calculations such as density functional theory (DFT) calculations can be used to estimate the DPM.

The enantioselective allylic alkylation of nitro ketene aminals with racemic allylic alcohols was realized by iridium/acid dual catalysis. An allyl group was installed on the α-position of nitro ketene aminals in a branched-selective manner in high efficiency with excellent enantioselectivities (93-99% ee). The protocol was applied to the late-stage modification of neonicotinoid insecticides, which directly furnished a novel neonicotinoid analogue with good insecticidal activity against (LC = 6.

We disclose a Michael/Conia-ene/S2 cascade reaction for the synthesis of Indane-fused dihydrofurans from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and 2-alkynylnitrostyrenes promoted by potassium carbonate in DMSO at room temperature. In this reaction, the nitro group has a chameleonic role, first as an electron-withdrawing group for the Michael addition, then the nitronate behaves as a nucleophile, and finally, the allylic nitro acts as a leaving group. The product is obtained as a single diastereomer, affording up to 82% with 1,3-keto esters and 58% with 1,3-diketones.

A mild and efficient coupling method concerning the reactions of -bromonitroalkanes with α,α-diaryl allyl alcohol trimethylsilyl ethers was reported. A cascade consisting of visible-light-induced generation of an α-nitroalkyl radical and a subsequent neophyl-type rearrangement was key to realize the coupling reactions. Structurally diverse α-aryl-γ-nitro ketones, especially those bearing a nitrocyclobutyl structure, were prepared in moderate to high yields, which could be converted into spirocyclic nitrones and imines.
