An unprecedented synthetic approach involving umpolung allylation/aza-Prins cyclization of -2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines is described. The reactions proceed smoothly with allyl bromide in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene, HO, and trimethylsilyl bromide; this one-pot protocol allows access to six-membered spiro azacyclic oxindole derivatives in good to excellent yields. Notably, while the general aza-Prins cyclization involves amines and aldehydes, the present synthetic strategy represents the first aza-Prins cyclization that utilizes the umpolung property of -2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines.

Despite recent advances in ligand-enabled C(sp)-H functionalization of native substrates, controlling chemoselectivity in the presence of methyl and methylene C(sp)-H bonds remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the first example of the Pd(II)-catalyzed chemoselective lactonization of γ-methyl and methylene C(sp)-H bonds of carboxylic acids. Exclusive chemoselectivity of methyl or methylene γ-lactonization was achieved by using two different classes of Quinoline-Pyridone ligands.

Semiconducting clathrates have attracted considerable interest in the field of thermoelectric materials. We report here a computational study on the crystal structure, the enthalpy of formation, and the physical properties of the following type-I clathrates: (a) experimentally studied CsSn and hypothetical CsSn and (b) hypothetical (NH)Sn (x = 0 or 2). The ab initio VASP calculations for the nominal stoichiometries include the geometry optimization of the initial structural models, enthalpies of formation, and the electronic and phonon density of states.

The reactivity of an isolable 2-germapropadiene with acids, ketones, and amines was investigated. The reactions of 2-germapropagiene 1 with hydrogen chloride and acetic acid afforded the corresponding dichlorogermane (2) and diacetoxygermane (3), respectively, indicating that the central germanium atom of 1 is electrophilic. The reaction of 1 with benzaldehyde proceeds via a formal [2+2] cycloaddition to afford the corresponding spiro compound (4).

Lactones are cyclic esters with extensive applications in materials science, medicinal chemistry, and the food and perfume industries. Nature's strategy for the synthesis of many lactones found in natural products always relies on a single type of retrosynthetic strategy, a C-O bond disconnection. Here, we describe a set of laboratory-engineered enzymes that use a new-to-nature C-C bond-forming strategy to assemble diverse lactone structures.
