The redox-neutral dicarbofunctionalization of tri- and tetrasubstituted olefins to form a variety of (hetero)cyclic compounds under photoinduced palladium catalysis is described. This cascade reaction process was used to couple styrenes or acryl amides with a broad range of highly decorated olefins tethered to aryl or alkyl bromides (>50 examples). This procedure enables one or two contiguous all-carbon quaternary centers to be formed in a single step. The products could be readily diversified and applied in the synthesis of a bioactive oxindole analogue.

Herein, we have developed a Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclization of prochiral alkyne-tethered malononitriles to access five-membered carbocycles having a nitrile-containing all-carbon quaternary center. The reaction pathway involves a -acetoxypalladation, nitrile group insertions into the carbon-palladium bond and sequential deacetylation followed by -acetylation. Initial studies on asymmetric cyclization were also performed with chiral Pyox ligands.

-cycloalkenes are abundant in bioactive natural products and have been used as powerful tools in chemical biology and drug discovery. However, strategies for the modular synthesis of -cycloalkenes, especially planar-chiral medium-sized ones, with high efficiency and selectivity, still remain elusive. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [7 + 2] cyclization strategy to address this challenge.

An enantioselective oxypalladation/malononitrile addition cascade reaction of alkyne-tethered malononitriles was reported to synthesize enaminones bearing an all-carbon quaternary center. Using Pd(TFA)/Pyox as a precatalyst, an array of enaminone products were obtained in moderate overall yields, with excellent er (93.5:6.

A novel palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H alkylation of terminal olefins with 3-carboxamide oxindoles is described. A variety of new 3-carboxamide-3-allylation oxindoles with an all-carbon quaternary center were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 99%). In addition, the asymmetric version of this reaction was also explored, providing moderate enantioselectivity.

Radical-mediated dearomatization strategies offer a blueprint for building value-added and synthetically valuable three-dimensional skeletons from readily available aromatic starting materials. Herein, we report a novel strategy by leveraging benzene-linked O-oxime esters as triply functionalized precursors to form two distinct persistent radicals under a chemodivergent pathway. These radicals then couple with a cyclohexadienyl radical for either carboamination or carbo-aminoalkylation.
