A new concept for the regioselective synthesis of Hamilton-receptor and cyanurate-functionalized oligo adducts of the fullerene C was developed. Based on an in-situ deprotection and click-post-functionalization approach with novel azido precursors, the corresponding fullerene hexakis-adducts with octahedral addition patterns and up to twelve Hamilton-receptor/cyanurate moieties surrounding the fullerene sphere were synthesized. The versatility of this approach was further demonstrated by the synthesis of Hamilton-receptor/cyanurate functionalized fullerene mono-adducts, which are not accessible by direct cyclopropanation. Several fullerene target compounds were purified by simple washing procedures of the solid crude reaction mixture without the need for chromatography. The resulting fullerene mono- and hexakis-adducts were fully characterized and their supramolecular properties were investigated by NMR-spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

Ni(II)-hydrazineylpyridine (Ni(II)-PyH)-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of α-benzyl substituted β-hydroxy ketones from α,β-unsaturated ketones and alcohols is reported a Fenton free-radical reaction. This protocol enables facile access to desired products in good to excellent yields in 12 h using toluene solvent at room temperature to 100 °C. The structural analysis of the products was confirmed by H, C-NMR, GC-MS, and HRMS data.

The hydrofluorination of enynoates has been developed for the synthesis of fluorinated dienoates. Using a pyridinium tetrafluoroborate salt that is easily prepared on large scale, this approach enabled the direct conversion of these substrates to fluorinated targets through a vinyl cation mediated process. This approach was applied to a range of aryl-substituted enynoates to deliver the ()-configured products with high levels of stereo- and regioselectivity.

Transition-metal-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of alkynes is an efficient pathway for the synthesis of aromatic compounds. However, most of the established methods require noble metal catalysts. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] annulation of diynes with alkynes through vinyl cation intermediates, enabling the atom-economical preparation of biologically important carbazole skeletons.

The direct synthesis of C(sp)-rich architectures is a driving force for innovation in synthetic organic chemistry. Such scaffolds impart beneficial properties onto drug molecules that correlate with greater clinical success. Consequently, there is a strong impetus to develop new methods by which to access sp-rich molecules from commercial feedstocks, such as alkenes.
