Allenes are a class of unsaturated compounds containing a propadiene structural moiety, exhibiting essential physiological, pharmacological, and various reactivities. Their (4 + 3) cycloaddition reaction has become an effective method for synthesizing seven-membered rings, especially for heterocycles. This method has been continuously improved and developed. Herein, we review the (4 + 3) cycloaddition of allenes, focusing on the developed methodologies and the outlook in this field from 2013 to 2023.

Visible-light induced direct C–H difluoromethylation of quinoxalinones with 2-((difluoromethyl)sulfonyl)benzo[d]thiazole has been developed for the first time. A broad range of quinoxalinones were well tolerated and reacted with difluorosulfone smoothly to give the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Notably, no external photocatalyst or oxidant was required, which provides a practical and green protocol to access difluoromethylated quinoxalinones. Finally, the control experiments demonstrated a radical mechanism, and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated the radicals were generated through the formation of an electron donor−acceptor (EDA) complex.

The development of catalytic carbonylation reactions has increased considerably. Although many reviews/chapters/books on carbonylation reactions have been published, summaries on cheap metal-catalyzed catalytic carbonylation reactions of aryl halides and other chemical bonds with high dissociation energy C–Y (Y = O, N, H) are still very rare. Focusing on green and sustainable chemistry, this review summarizes and discusses the achievements on carbonylative transformations of aryl halides (C(sp2)–X) and strong bonds C–Y (Y = O, N, H) based on non-expensive metal catalysts (Co, Mn, Mo, Ni, Fe, Cu), photochemical and electrochemical systems developed in recent decades.

A metal-free visible-light-induced synthesis of aza-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via cascade alkylation/cyclization of N-methacryloyl-2-phenylbenzimidazole was developed. The reaction was carried out with inactive alkanes and cyclic ethers as alkylation reagents, and phenanthrenequinone (PQ) as a direct hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) photocatalyst. The desired products were obtained in moderate to good yields at room temperature under air.

C(sp2)-H amination represents an attractive approach for the synthesis of enamines, which is intrinsically associated with the challenge of controlling of stereochemistry and primarily relying on transition-metal catalysis. Herein, a metal-free C(sp2)-H amination of α-substituted styrenes has been achieved, leading to stereodivergent formation of both E- and Z-enamines in 50 %–97 % yield under mild conditions by using PhI(OAc)2 as a green oxidant and ortho-phenylenediamines as nitrogen source. Interestingly, the Z/E selectivity can be controlled readily by switching the reaction medium. E-isomers were formed preferentially in THF, whereas n-hexane favored the formation of Z-isomers. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that in situ formed ortho-benzoquinone diimides are the key intermediates, and there is a correlation between solvent polarity and stereoselectivity. This study enriches the chemical repertoire of ortho-benzoquinone diimides particularly with respect to sustainable amination.

The construction of chiral quaternary carbon stereocenters is a significant challenge in asymmetric synthesis. Catalytic synthesis of these structures with trisubstituted allylic alcohols is highly important. However, most of the reported methodologies required noble transition-metals. Herein we reported the first highly asymmetric stereoselective synthesis of cyclopentanes bearing chiral quaternary carbon stereocenters of trisubstituted allylic siloxanes by reductive cyclization of all carbon 1,6-alkynones with the non-noble nickel catalysis of Ni(cod)2 with P-chiral monophosphine ligand (S)-BIDIME. Various multi-substituted functionalized cyclopentanes were obtained in high yields (up to 96%), excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) and perfect stereoselectivities (>99:1 E/Z). Thirty-two examples were successfully established for this method. Clarified mechanism studies were investigated first time by React-IR and DFT calculations to understand and explain the ligand-control of excellent enantio-stereoselectivity. Gram-scale reaction and control experiments were carried out. A new reaction design was proposed for further application of this type of catalysis.

Herein, we reported an efficient and straightforward method to realize desaturated β-C(sp3)-H sulfonylation and phosphonylation of cyclic amines driven by electrochemistry using catalytic amounts of CP2Fe as the redox mediator. This protocol which had good functional group compatibility, provided the desired enaminyl sulfone and enaminyl phosphine oxide products with high chemo- and regio-selectivity under mild conditions. Several mechanistic studies have suggested that cyclic amines underwent multiple single-electron oxidation and deprotonation processes, followed by a capture step involving either a sulfonyl radical or a phosphonyl radical, ultimately leading to the desired products.

Ethers are among the most important chemicals in organic synthesis, the pharmaceutical industry, agrochemical production, and material science. C–O bond formation via substitution is one of the most widely used strategies for ether formation. However, known methods usually employ transition-metal and bases to facilitate the process. In this work, we describe the base- and transition-metal-free ether formation via alcohol and phenol-participated substitution. The protocol allows access to a large number of ethers with enyne functional moieties, and features mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and good regio- and stereoselectivities. The reaction could be readily scaled up, and the products could be used in a range of further transformations.

We first describe a photoinduced decatungstate-catalyzed direct coupling of cycloalkanes and cyclic aldimines. The desired products were generated in moderate to good yields with wide substrate scope under mild reaction conditions. The mechanistic study revealed a radical process. In addition, the usefulness of the reaction in organic synthesis was proved by the scale-up synthesis as well as the late-stage modification of drug-like molecules.

The incorporation of additional Csp3 atoms into candidate drugs may enhance their pharmacological properties. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to construct desired Csp3-Csp3 bonds efficiently and practically. The present article reports a novel Csp3-Csp3 bond-forming reaction of 2-aryl/alkyl substituted aziridines with gem-diborylalkanes under tranisiton metal free conditions. A wide range of γ-gem-diboronate esters substituted amines can be accessed in good yield and regioselectivity. The results demonstrated that various aziridines could react with gem-diborylalkanes in the presence of LiTMP as the base within 15 min at ambient temperature.
