C-Unsubstituted 1,2-diazetidines, a rarely studied type of four-membered heterocyclic compounds, were synthesized through an operationally simple intermolecular vicinal disubstitution reaction. 1,2-Diazetidine derivatives bearing various N-arylsulfonyl groups were readily accessed and studied by experimental and computed Raman spectra. The ring-opening reaction of the diazetidine was explored and resulted in the identification of a selective N-N bond cleavage with thiols as nucleophiles, which stereoselectively produced a new class of N-sulfenylimine derivatives with C-aminomethyl groups.

Herein we report new cascade processes for the easy access to 1-substituted and C-unsubstituted 3-isoquinolinones. The Mannich initiated cascade reaction led to the synthesis of novel 1-substituted 3-isoquinolinones under catalyst-free conditions in the presence of nitromethane and dimethylmalonate as nucleophiles without the use of any solvent. The optimization of the synthesis of the starting material in a more environmentally benign manner, allowed the identification of a common intermediate useful for the synthesis of C-unsubstituted 3-isoquinolinones as well.

Classical carbenes are usually described as neutral compounds featuring a divalent carbon with only six electrons in their valence shell. It was only in 1988 that our group prepared the first isolable example, in which the carbene center was stabilized by a push-pull effect, using a phosphino and a silyl substituent. In the last 30 years, a myriad of acyclic and cyclic push-pull and push-push carbenes, bearing different heteroatom substituents, have been isolated.

New and well-characterized Ag-bis(1,2,3-triazolylidene) complexes having enantiopure (S)-sulfoxides upon sequential treatment with alcohols and Au(I) form separable mixtures of regioisomeric C-unsubstituted Au-1,2,3-triazolylidene complexes. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations support a desulfinylation process for in situ generated free triazolylidene salts.

The synthesis of 1,2-oxaphosphetane complexes and 1,2-oxaphospholane complex bearing only substituents at phosphorus is reported using the reaction of Li/Cl phosphinidenoid complex with 2-iodoethanol or 3-bromo-propane-1-ol and the subsequent dehydrohalogenation using KHMDS. In contrast, the reaction of complex with (t)BuLi leads selectively to the formation of phosphinito complex .
