Abstract
A mild, convenient coupling of aliphatic aldehydes and unactivated alkyl bromides has been developed. The catalytic system features the use of a common Ni(ii) precatalyst and a readily available bioxazoline ligand and affords silyl-protected secondary alcohols. The reaction is operationally simple, utilizing Mn as a stoichiometric reductant, and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. The use of 1,5-hexadiene as an additive is an important reaction parameter that provides significant benefits in yield optimizations. Initial mechanistic experiments support a mechanism featuring an alpha-silyloxy Ni species that undergoes formal oxidative addition to the alkyl bromide via a reductive cross-coupling pathway. Aliphatic aldehydes and alkyl bromides are reductively coupled using nickel catalysis. A BiOX ligand and 1,5-hexadiene paired with a silyl chloride and Mn as the terminal reductant are important features of the process.![]()

Abstract
We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides. Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation reductive or redox-neutral, respectively. The reaction is mediated by a Ni catalyst and a 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane. This P2N2 ligand, which has previously been unrecognized in cross-coupling and related reactions, was found to avoid deleterious aryl halide reduction pathways that dominate with more traditional phosphines and NHCs. An interrupted carbonyl-Heck type mechanism is proposed to be operative, with a key 1,2-insertion step forging the new C-C bond and forming a nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by an alcohol reductant. The same catalyst was also found to enable synthesis of ketone products from either aldehydes or alcohols, demonstrating control over the oxidation state of both the starting materials and products.

Abstract
The first asymmetric synthesis of pepluanol A (1) is presented. The synthesis route is very concise (10 steps) and features a Curtin-Hammett-driven stereoconvergent intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. A Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction comprises the connective step, bringing together the seven-membered enone system bearing the dienophile and the diene in the side chain. Subsequent stereoconvergent IMDA reaction furnishes the carboskeleton of the natural product in only 7 steps. The reactions were carried out on a gram scale up to an advanced intermediate and including the stereoconvergent intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction.

Abstract
Herein we report a chromium-catalyzed allylic defluorinative ketyl olefin coupling between aldehydes and α-trifluoromethyl alkenes, which provides novel and efficient access to diverse gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols. Remarkably, the high chemoselectivity of this reaction enables the conversion of the formyl moiety in the presence of various easily reducible functionalities including ketone, organohalides, aziridine, sulfone, alkyne, and unactivated alkene. The utility of this method is demonstrated by various simple derivatizations of the attached hydroxyl group of the coupling products. The preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a reaction pathway with a rate-limiting C-C forming step followed by facile β-fluoro elimination.

Abstract
Carbonyl Umpolung is a powerful strategy in organic chemistry to construct complex molecules. Over the last few years, versatile catalytic approaches for the generation of acyl anion equivalents from carbonyl compounds have been developed, but methods to obtain alkyl carbanions from carbonyl compounds in a catalytic fashion are still at an early stage. This Minireview summarizes recent progress in the generation of alkyl carbanions through catalytic carbonyl Umpolung. Two different catalytic approaches can be utilized to enable the generation of alkyl carbanions from carbonyl compounds: the catalytic Wolff–Kishner reaction and the catalytic single‐electron reduction of carbonyl compounds and imines. We discuss the reaction scope, mechanistic insights, and synthetic applications of the methods as well as potential future developments.

Abstract
One of the most oft-employed methods for C-C bond formation involving the coupling of vinyl-halides with aldehydes catalyzed by Ni and Cr (Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi, NHK) has been rendered more practical using an electroreductive manifold. Although early studies pointed to the feasibility of such a process, those precedents were never applied by others due to cumbersome setups and limited scope. Here we show that a carefully optimized electroreductive procedure can enable a more sustainable approach to NHK, even in an asymmetric fashion on highly complex medicinally relevant systems. The e-NHK can even enable non-canonical substrate classes, such as redox-active esters, to participate with low loadings of Cr when conventional chemical techniques fail. A combination of detailed kinetics, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry of these processes illuminates the subtle features of this mechanistically intricate process.

Abstract
ConspectusTransition-metal catalysis has traditionally been dominated by precious metals because of their high reactivity toward chemical transformations. As a cost-effective alternative, catalysis by earth-abundant group 6 metal chromium is underdeveloped, and its reactivity remains largely unexplored, although the industrially important Phillips catalyst, which is composed of Cr as the active metal, is currently used to supply almost 40% of the total world demand for high-density polyethylene. Cr has traditionally served in organoreagents with high-valent states (≥2+), which are typified by reactions involving Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi (NHK) and Takai-Utimoto one-electron transfer processes. Given that low-valent metals usually facilitate the process of oxidative addition (OA), studying the catalysis of Cr in the low-valent state provides the opportunity to develop new transformations. However, probably because of the low stability of reactive low-valent Cr or the lack of catalytic activity of structurally stable complexes, there has been limited success with respect to developing catalysis promoted by low-valent Cr. In recent years, our group has probed the reactivity of low-valent Cr in catalysis by adopting a strategy of forming reactive Cr in situ. In this Account, we detail our efforts to study the catalytic behavior and mechanism of low-valent Cr in challenging transformations, such as the cleavage of chemically inert bonds for the cross-coupling and hydrofunctionalization of arenes and nitro motifs, by developing strategies to address the prominent selectivity issues. We highlight the finding that low-valent Cr, being formed in situ, possesses the intriguing ability to promote the catalytic cleavage of unactivated C-O, C-N, and C-H bonds to achieve the Kumada couplings and even to enable challenging cross-coupling between two unactivated C(aryl)-O/C(aryl)-N bonds. During these catalytic processes, Cr usually adopts a high-spin state to interact with chemicals, allowing for insertion into unactivated σ-bonds. The OA catalytic model involving a two-electron process for the cleavage of unactivated bonds has rarely been considered for Cr. We highlight the finding that Cr allows for the breakage of two chemically inert bonds in one catalytic cycle. This ability is intriguing because most transition metals are suitable only for the cleavage of one unactivated bond in catalysis. Mechanisms involving two-electron OA for Cr are unusual, with processes involving one-electron transfer more often proposed, as exemplified in the NHK reactions. These reactions provide efficient strategies for forming functionalized benzaldehydes, amides, anilines, and amines, usually with high levels of selectivity. We hope that this account will extend the scope of cognition to Cr catalysis.

Abstract
The combination of a Lewis acid-catalyzed inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction with a photoinduced ring-opening (PIRO) reaction in a domino process has been established as an efficient synthetic method to access medium-sized carbocycles. From readily available electron-rich and electron-poor phthalazines and enamines, respectively, as starting materials, various 9- and 11-membered carbocycles were prepared. This versatile transition-metal-free tool will be valuable for broadening the structural space in biologically active compounds and functional materials.

Abstract
Fragment coupling reactions that form carbon-carbon bonds are valuable transformations in synthetic design. Advances in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions in the early 2000s brought a high level of predictability and reliability to carbon-carbon bond constructions involving the union of unsaturated fragments. By comparison, recent years have witnessed an increase in fragment couplings proceeding via carbanionic and open-shell (free radical) intermediates. The latter has been driven by advances in methods to generate and utilize carbon-centered radicals under mild conditions. In this Review, we survey a selection of recent syntheses that have implemented carbanion- or radical-based fragment couplings to form carbon-carbon bonds. We aim to highlight the strategic value of these disconnections in their respective settings and to identify extensible lessons from each example that might be instructive to students.

Abstract
Carbonyl propargylation has been established as a valuable tool in the realm of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. The 1,3-enyne moiety has been recognized as an alternative pronucleophile in the above transformation through an ionic mechanism. Herein, we report for the first time, the radical carbonyl propargylation through dual chromium/photoredox catalysis. A library of valuable homopropargylic alcohols bearing all-carbon quaternary centers could be obtained by a catalytic radical three-component coupling of 1,3-enynes, aldehydes and suitable radical precursors (41 examples). This redox-neutral multi-component reaction occurs under very mild conditions and shows high functional group tolerance. Remarkably, bench-stable, non-toxic, and inexpensive CrCl3 could be employed as a chromium source. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a radical-polar crossover mechanism, which offers a complementary and novel approach towards the preparation of valuable synthetic architectures from simple chemicals.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, macrocyclic compounds have emerged as increasingly significant therapeutic candidates in drug discovery. Their pharmacological activity hinges on their rotationally restricted three-dimensional orientation, resulting in a unique conformational preorganization and a high enthalpic gain as a consequence of high-affinity macrocycle-protein binding interactions. Synthetic access to macrocyclic drug candidates is therefore crucial. From a synthetic point of view, the efficiency of macrocyclization events commonly suffers from entropic penalties as well as undesired intermolecular couplings (oligomerization). Although over the past several decades ring-closing metathesis, macrolactonization, or macrolactamization have become strategies of choice, the toolbox of organic synthesis provides a great number of versatile transformations beyond the aforementioned. This Outlook focuses on a selection of examples employing what we term unconventional macrocyclizations toward the synthesis of natural products or analogues.

Abstract
We developed a chromium-catalyzed, photochemical, and linear-selective alkylation of aldehydes with alkylzirconium species generated in situ from a wide range of alkenes and Schwartz's reagent. Photochemical homolysis of the C-Zr bond afforded alkyl radicals, which were then trapped by a chromium complex catalyst to generate the alkylchromium(III) species for polar addition to aldehydes. The reaction proceeded with high functional group tolerance at ambient temperature under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of (+)-cornexistin as well as its 8-epi-isomer starting from malic acid. The robust and scalable route features a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction, an auxiliary-controlled syn-Evans-aldol reaction, and a highly efficient intramolecular alkylation to form the nine-membered carbocycle. The delicate maleic anhydride moiety of the nonadride skeleton was constructed from a β-keto nitrile. The developed route enabled the synthesis of 165 mg (+)-cornexistin.

Abstract
A rare example of cyclization with 5-alkynones, which possess non-polar alkynyl and less electrophilic polar keto carbonyl groups, was demonstrated. The key to promoting carbene/alkyne metathesis followed by alkylidenation with pendant C[double bond, length as m-dash]O double bonds was the Schrock-type nucleophilic reactivity of the generated chromium carbene equivalents from readily available diiodomethanes and CrCl2 by simple heating.

Abstract
Simple feedstock organic molecules, especially alkenes, are attractive starting materials in organic synthesis because of their wide availability. Direct utilization of such bulk, inert organic molecules for practical and selective chemical reactions, however, remains limited. Herein, we developed a ternary hybrid catalyst system comprising a photoredox catalyst, a hydrogen-atom-transfer catalyst, and a chromium complex catalyst, enabling catalytic allylation of aldehydes with simple alkenes, including feedstock lower alkenes. The reaction proceeded under visible-light irradiation at room temperature and with high functional group tolerance. The reaction was extended to an asymmetric variant by employing a chiral chromium complex catalyst.

Abstract
Among base metals used for C-H activation reactions, chromium(III) is rather unexplored despite its natural abundance and low toxicity. We report herein chromium(III)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H functionalization of an ortho-position of aromatic and α,β-unsaturated secondary amides using readily available AlMe3 as a base and using bromoalkynes, allyl bromide, and 1,4-dihydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalene as electrophiles. This redox-neutral reaction taking place at 70-90 °C, requires as low as 1-2 mol % of CrCl3 or Cr(acac)3 as a catalyst without any added ligand, and tolerates functional groups such as aryl iodide, boronate, and thiophene groups. Stoichiometric and kinetics studies as well as kinetic isotope effects suggest that the catalytic cycle consists of a series of thermally stable but reactive intermediates bearing two molecules of the amide substrate on one chromium atom and also that one of these chromate(III) complexes takes part in the alkynylation, allylation, and naphthalenation reactions. The proposed mechanism accounts for the effective suppression of methyl group delivery from AlMe3 for ortho-C-H methylation.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of protected 1,2-amino alcohols starting from carbonyl compounds and α-silyl amines. The reaction is enabled by a Cr/photoredox dual catalytic system that allows the in situ generation of α-amino carbanion equivalents which act as nucleophiles. The unique nature of this reaction was demonstrated through the aminoalkylation of ketones and an acyl silane, classes of electrophiles that were previously unreactive toward addition of alkyl-Cr reagents. Overall, this reaction broadens the scope of Cr-mediated carbonyl alkylations and discloses an underexplored retrosynthetic strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols.

Abstract
Radical-radical couplings are mostly nearly diffusion-controlled processes. Therefore, the selective cross-coupling of two different radicals is challenging and not a synthetically valuable transformation. However, if the radicals have different lifetimes and if they are generated at equal rates, cross-coupling will become the dominant process. This high cross-selectivity is based on a kinetic phenomenon called the persistent radical effect (PRE). In this Review, an explanation of the PRE supported by simulations of simple model systems is provided. Radical stabilities are discussed within the context of their lifetimes, and various examples of PRE-mediated radical-radical couplings in synthesis are summarized. It is shown that the PRE is not restricted to the coupling of a persistent with a transient radical. If one coupling partner is longer-lived than the other transient radical, the PRE operates and high cross-selectivity is achieved. This important point expands the scope of PRE-mediated radical chemistry. The Review is divided into two parts, namely 1) the coupling of persistent or longer-lived organic radicals and 2) "radical-metal crossover reactions"; here, metal-centered radical species and more generally longer-lived transition-metal complexes that are able to react with radicals are discussed-a field that has flourished recently.

Abstract
Covering: January 2000 to July 2018 gem-Dimethylcyclobutanes are a common motif found in a multitude of natural products, and thus these structures have captivated synthetic chemists for years. However, until the turn of the century, most synthetic efforts relied upon the use of widely available terpenes, such as pinene or caryophyllene, that already contain the gem-dimethylcyclobutane motif. This approach limits the scope of molecules that can be accessed readily. This review highlights recent syntheses in which the gem-dimethylcyclobutane is assembled via de novo approaches. An outlook on the future of this research area is also provided.

Abstract
The concept of reductive radical-polar crossover (RRPCO) reactions has recently emerged as a valuable and powerful tool to overcome limitations of both radical and traditional polar chemistry. Especially in case of additions to carbonyl compounds, the synergy of radical and polar pathways is of great advantage since it enables the use of traditional carbonyl electrophiles in radical reactions. The most recent and synthetically important transformations following this line are summarised in the first part of this review. The second part deals with transformations, in which the concept of RRPCO promotes the usage of alkyl halides as electrophiles in radical reactions.

Abstract
Sequential transformations of unactivated C-O and C-H bonds under chromium catalysis are described. The use of a N-benzyl-substituted imino group as an auxiliary combined with chromium(II) chloride as a precatalyst and 2,3-dichlorobutane as an oxidant allows the arene C-O and C-H bonds to sequentially couple to arylmagnesium reagents to incorporate two identical or different aryl groups into the ortho positions of benzaldehydes.

Abstract
A stannyl-group-substituted gem-dichromiomethane species, generated in situ from CrCl2, TMEDA, and tributyl(diiodomethyl)stannane, worked as an efficient stannylcarbene equivalent to promote cyclopropanation of alkenes. The reaction provided synthetically useful stannylcyclopropanes directly from commercially available unactivated alkenes without using potentially flammable alkylzinc and diazo compounds. Structural characterization of stannyl- and germyl-group-substituted gem-dichromiomethane complexes and the effect of group 14 elements containing substituents for cyclopropanation are also described.

Abstract
Historically accessed through two-electron, anionic chemistry, ketones, alcohols, and amines are of foundational importance to the practice of organic synthesis. After placing this work in proper historical context, this Article reports the development, full scope, and a mechanistic picture for a strikingly different way of forging such functional groups. Thus, carboxylic acids, once converted to redox-active esters (RAEs), can be utilized as formally nucleophilic coupling partners with other carboxylic derivatives (to produce ketones), imines (to produce benzylic amines), or aldehydes (to produce alcohols). The reactions are uniformly mild, operationally simple, and, in the case of ketone synthesis, broad in scope (including several applications to the simplification of synthetic problems and to parallel synthesis). Finally, an extensive mechanistic study of the ketone synthesis is performed to trace the elementary steps of the catalytic cycle and provide the end-user with a clear and understandable rationale for the selectivity, role of additives, and underlying driving forces involved.

Abstract
Saturated heterocycles are important structural motifs in a range of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As a result of their importance, syntheses of these molecules have been extensively investigated. Despite the progress in this area, the most adopted strategies are still often characterized with inefficiency or relying on functionalizations with specialized precursors and pre-existing cores. This review highlights a dynamic synthetic strategy for the direct synthesis of saturated heterocycles from intermolecular alkene difunctionalizations. These coupling processes are highly modular, and therefore, offer perhaps the most convenient means to prepare diverse heterocyclic structures in compound libraries for bioactivity evoluations.

Abstract
The first intermolecular carbonyl arylations via transfer hydrogenative reductive coupling are described. Using rhodium catalysts modified by tBu2PMe, sodium formate-mediated reductive coupling of aryl iodides with aldehydes occurs in a chemoselective fashion in the presence of protic functional groups and lower halides. This work expands the emerging paradigm of transfer hydrogenative coupling as an alternative to pre-formed carbanions or metallic reductants in C═X addition.

Abstract
CpTiCl2, prepared in situ by manganese reduction of CpTiCl3, is an excellent new system for the Barbier-type allylation and propargylation of carbonyl compounds. It can be used in catalytic amounts when combined with Et3N·HBr/TMSBr, which acts as a regenerating system. The high regio- and stereoselectivity shown by this system makes it useful for prenylation and crotylation processes in the synthesis of natural products.
