The silylzincation of terminal ynamides is achieved through a radical-chain process involving (Me3Si)3SiH and R2Zn. A potentially competing polar mechanism is excluded on the basis of diagnostic control experiments. The unique feature of this addition across the C≡C bond is its trans selectivity. One-pot electrophilic substitution of the C(sp2)-Zn bond by Cu(I)-mediated C-C bond formation and subsequent manipulation of the C(sp2)-Si bond provides a modular access to Z-α,β-disubstituted enamides.

Article Synopsis
- A new strategy for hydroacylation of cyclopropene allows for creating various 2-acylcyclopropane compounds under mild conditions.
- This method exhibits high tolerance for different functional groups and enables the production of acylated cyclopropanes in a controlled, diastereoselective way, utilizing photoinduced decarboxylation.
- The regioselective addition of acyl radicals to the least substituted carbon enhances the method's potential for developing natural products.
Trans-selective cyclizations of alpha-bromocarboxamides and /-mixed internal olefins catalyzed by a Fe salt.

There are several reports of lactam cyclizations, but most yield less-substituted lactam rings. Therefore, diastereoselective cyclization to yield highly substituted lactams is one of the challenges in this field. We therefore propose a strategy involving the reactions of α-halocarboxamides with /-mixed internal olefins here.

Vinylboron compounds are important compounds in organic chemistry and biology. In this communication, we developed a copper(I)-catalyzed, highly regio- and stereoselective radical -hydroboration of ynamides with -heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-ligated borane is reported, which leads to a series of -boryl enmides that can be conveniently transformed into various multi-substituted enamides. Further investigation showcased that our method is robust and scalable.

Fluoxetine finds application in the treatment of depression and mood disorders. This selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) also contrasts oxidative stress by direct ROS scavenging, modulation of the endogenous antioxidant defense system, and/or enhancement of the serotonin antioxidant capacity. We synthesised some fluoxetine analogues incorporating a selenium nucleus, thus expanding its antioxidant potential by enabling a hydroperoxides-inactivating, glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity.

Nickel complexes exhibit distinct properties from other group 10 metals, including a small nuclear radius, high paring energy, low electronegativity, and low redox potentials. These properties enable Ni catalysts to accommodate and stabilize paramagnetic intermediates, access radical pathways, and undergo slow β-H elimination. Our research program investigates how each of these fundamental attributes impact the catalytic properties of Ni, in particular in the context of alkene functionalization.
