Abstract
An unconventional [1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1] annulation process was developed for the construction of β,β-dithioketones by merging C-C and C-S bond cleavage. In this reaction, rongalite concurrently served as triple C1 units, dual sulfur(II) synthons, and a reductant for the first time. Mechanism investigation indicated that the reaction involved the self-mediated valence state change of rongalite. By performing this step-economical method, the challenging construction of C5-substituted 1,3-dithiane can be achieved under mild and simple conditions.

Abstract
A detailed computational mechanistic study of the copper-catalysed three-component-type electrophilic carboamination of terminal alkynes with benzyne and an archetypal O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophile is presented. Probing various plausible pathways for relevant elementary steps and scrutinising performance degradation pathways, with the aid of a reliable computational protocol applied to a realistic catalyst model combined with kinetic analysis, identified the pathways preferably traversed in productive catalysis. It entails rapid alkynylcupration of in situ generated benzyne to deliver the arylcopper nucleophile that undergoes amination with the O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophile to afford copper benzoate. Umpolung-enabled electrophilic amination favours a multistep SN2-type oxidative addition/N-C bond-forming reductive elimination sequence involving a short-lived formal {P^P}CuIII carboxylate amido aryl intermediate. SN2-type displacement of the benzoate leaving group at the arylcopper nucleophile, which represents the catalyst resting state, is predicted to be the turnover limiting step. Alkynolysis transforms copper benzoate back to catalytically competent alkynylcopper. The computational probe of a wider range of substrates reveals that only severely ring-strained C6-arynes, C6-cycloalkynes and electron-deficient cyclopropenes featuring a highly reactive C≡C linkage could replace benzyne. Moreover, strict control of stationary benzyne concentration is indispensable for electrophilic carboamination to ever become achievable.

Abstract
An N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) catalyst was developed for use in the non-traditional synthesis of amide derivatives from nitroalkanes and amines. In contrast to traditional oxidative catalysis, this catalytic system involves reversing the polarities of two catalytic components (umpolung) by means of a hypervalent iodine reagent. A variety of functional groups were tolerated in the reaction, suggesting that they have the potential for use in other types of oxidative catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Umpolung is an old and important concept in organic chemistry, which significantly expands the chemical space and provides unique structures. While, previous research focused on carbonyls or imine derivatives, the umpolung reactivity of polarized C-C σ-bonds still needs to explore. Herein, we report an umpolung reaction of bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs) with electron-deficient alkenes to construct the C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond at the electrophilic position of C-C σ-bonds in BCBs without any transition-metal catalysis. Specifically, this transformation relies on the strain-release driven bridging σ-bonds in bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes (BCBs), which are emerged as ene components, providing an efficient and straightforward synthesis route of various functionalized cyclobutenes and conjugated dienes, respectively. The synthetic utilities of this protocol are performed by several transformations. Preliminary mechanistic studies including density functional theory (DFT) calculation support the concerted Alder-ene type process of C-C σ-bond cleavage with hydrogen transfer. This work extends the umpolung reaction to C-C σ-bonds and provides high-value structural motifs.

Abstract
An N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) complex of Eu(II) was synthesized via an unprecedented self-aminomethylation of Me3NO in the presence of Eu[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2. The neutral TMEDA ligand is formed via the coupling of two charge reversed carbon centres from the same precursor Me3NO. In contrast, the reactions of LnII[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 (Ln = Yb, Sm) with Me3NO led to the oxygen-bridged dinuclear complexes of Ln(III).

Abstract
The success and power of homogeneous catalysis derives in large part from the wide choice of transition metal ions and their ligands. This tutorial review introduces examples where the reactivity of a ligand is completely reversed (umpolung) from Lewis basic/nucleophilic to acidic/electrophilic or vice versa on changing the metal and co-ligands. Understanding this phenomenon will assist in the rational design of catalysts and the understanding of metalloenzyme mechanisms. Labelling a metal and ligand with Seebach donor and acceptor labels helps to identify whether a reaction involving the intermolecular attack on the ligand is displaying native reactivity or reactivity umpolung. This has been done for complexes of nitriles, carbonyls, isonitriles, dinitrogen, Fischer carbenes, alkenes, alkynes, hydrides, methyls, methylidenes and alkylidenes, silylenes, oxides, imides/nitrenes, alkylidynes, methylidynes, and nitrides. The electronic influence of the metal and co-ligands is discussed in terms of the energy of (HOMO) d electrons. The energy can be related to the pKLACa (LAC is ligand acidity constant) of the theoretical hydride complexes [H-[M]-L]+ formed by the protonation of pair of valence d electrons on the metal in the [M-L] complex. Preliminary findings indicate that a negative pKLACa indicates that nucleophilic attack by a carbanion or amine on the ligand will likely occur while a positive pKLACa indicates that electrophilic attack by strong acids on the ligand will usually occur when the ligand is nitrile, carbonyl, isonitrile, alkene and η6-arene.

Abstract
The umpolung functionalization of imines bears vast synthetic potential, but polarity inversion is less efficient compared with the carbonyl counterparts. Strong nucleophiles are often required to react with the N-electrophiles without catalytic and stereochemical control. Here we show an effective strategy to realize umpolung of imines promoted by organocatalytic aromatization. The attachment of strongly electron-withdrawing groups to imines could enhance the umpolung reactivity by both electronegativity and aromatic character, enabling the direct amination of (hetero)arenes with good efficiencies and stereoselectivities. Additionally, the application of chiral Brønsted acid catalyst furnishes (hetero)aryl C-N atropisomers or enantioenriched aliphatic amines via dearomative amination from N-electrophilic aromatic precursors. Control experiments and density functional theory calculations suggest an ionic mechanism for the umpolung reaction of imines. This disconnection expands the options to forge C-N bonds stereoselectively on (hetero)arenes, which represents an important synthetic pursuit, especially in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
An unprecedented palladium-catalysed fragmentary esterification-induced allylic alkylation (FEAA) of cyclic vinylogous anhydrides (CVAs) and allyl carbonates has been disclosed. The protocol features broad sp3-rich scaffold tolerance, rendering highly functionalized 1,6 and 1,7-dicarbonyls in up to high yields and diastereoselectivities. Three-component FEAA is also well tolerant to generate 1,6-dicarbonyls through the addition of extra O/N-nucleophiles. Furthermore, cyclic allyl carbonate-involved FEAA provides an efficient approach for the synthesis of structurally complex medium-sized rings.

Abstract
Allylation and propargylation are two powerful synthetic strategies for making new substances that have been of significant importance in chemistry, medicine, and material fields. Conventional tactics employ various preformed allylation and propargylation reagents. In this study, a conceptually novel copper-catalyzed and B2pin2-mediated Umpolung reactivity of propargylic carbonates has been achieved for the first time, realizing both allylation and propargylation of aldehydes and ketones without additional reductants. Three types of allylation products and one type of propargylation product are generated efficiently, and all allylation products are formed with syn-configurations predominantly. The choice of ligands plays a vital role in modulating the Umpolung modes. The synthetic applications have been demonstrated in a myriad of further transformations including natural product synthesis, and systematic mechanistic studies have been conducted to reveal detailed insights into the Umpolung processes.

Abstract
α-Carbonyl cations are the umpolung forms of the synthetically fundamental α-carbonyl carbanions. They are highly reactive yet rarely studied and utilized species and their precursors were rather limited. Herein, we report the catalyst-controlled divergent generations of α-carbonyl cations from single alkyne functionalities and the interception of them via Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. Two chemodivergent catalytic systems have been established, leading to two different types of α-carbonyl cations and, eventually, two different types of products, i.e. the α,β- and β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Broad spectrum of alkynes including aryl alkyne, ynamide, alkynyl ether, and alkynyl sulfide could be utilized and the migration priorities of different groups in the Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement step was elucidated. Density functional theory calculations further supported the intermediacy of α-carbonyl cations via the N-O bond cleavage in both the two catalytic systems. Another key feature of this methodology was the fragmentation of synthetically inert tert-butyl groups into readily transformable olefin functionalities. The synthetic potential was highlighted by the scale-up reactions and the downstream diversifications including the formal synthesis of nicotlactone B and galbacin.

Abstract
A method for the squaramide-organocatalyzed enantioselective addition of a silyl-protected masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagent to various β-nitrostyrenes is described. Reactions are carried out in a freezer and provide products cleanly and in high enantioselectivities at very low catalyst loadings. Adducts are then unmasked, providing various oxidation state 3 functional groups, thereby highlighting the utility of these MAC reagents and a new strategy for the preparation of β-amino acids.

Abstract
Herein, for the first time we have explored the umpolung reactivity of the vinylogous carbon center of diazo arylidene succinimide (DAS) through rhodium catalysis to achieve [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement of α-thioether esters. The protocol has successfully demonstrated the distal C-H bond functionalization of the α-thioether esters. Alongside, the carbenoid reactivity of DAS has also been achieved with Doyle-Kirmse reaction of allyl/propargyl phenyl sulfides. The protocol proved to be practical to synthesize a wide variety of [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement products exclusively and the possible side products emanating from Pummerer rearrangement and [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement were not observed. This catalytic protocol works smoothly in environmentally benign solvent under open air to afford the corresponding desired products with excellent diastereo-, regio- and chemo-selectivities in good to excellent yields. The protocol also proved to be scalable on gram quantity.

Abstract
Dynamic polarity analysis is proposed herein as a general tool for investigating static polarity and transient polarity and revealing expanded reactivity patterns. Through this analysis formalism, polarity matching has been established for Rh(III)-catalyzed N-amino-directed C-H coupling with 3-methyleneoxetan-2-ones, providing efficient access to 1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids. The identified reaction, by virtue of the internal oxidative mechanism, showcases mild reaction conditions (room temperature), a short reaction time (2 h), and a generally high product yield.

Abstract
Isoporphyrins have recently been identified as remarkable species capable of turning the nucleophile attached to the porphyrin ring into an electrophile, thereby providing umpolung of reactivity (Inorg. Chem. 2022, 61, 8105-8111). They are generated by nucleophilic attack on an iron(III) π-dication, a class of species that has received scant attention. Here, we explore the effect of the porphyrin meso-substituent and report a iron(III) π-dication bearing the meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) ligand. We provide an extensive study of the species by UV/Vis absorption, 2 H NMR, EPR, applied field Mössbauer, and resonance Raman spectroscopy. We further explore the system's highly dynamic and tunable properties and address the nature of the axial ligands as well as the conformation of the porphyrin ring. The insights presented are essential for the rational design of catalysts for the umpolung of nucleophiles. Such catalytic avenues could for example provide a novel method for electrophilic chlorinations. We further examine the importance of electronic tuning of the porphyrin by nature of the meso-substituent as a factor in catalyst design.

Abstract
Modern retrosynthetic analysis in organic chemistry is based on the principle of polar relationships between functional groups to guide the design of synthetic routes1. This method, termed polar retrosynthetic analysis, assigns partial positive (electrophilic) or negative (nucleophilic) charges to constituent functional groups in complex molecules followed by disconnecting bonds between opposing charges2-4. Although this approach forms the basis of undergraduate curriculum in organic chemistry5 and strategic applications of most synthetic methods6, the implementation often requires a long list of ancillary considerations to mitigate chemoselectivity and oxidation state issues involving protecting groups and precise reaction choreography3,4,7. Here we report a radical-based Ni/Ag-electrocatalytic cross-coupling of substituted carboxylic acids, thereby enabling an intuitive and modular approach to accessing complex molecular architectures. This new method relies on a key silver additive that forms an active Ag nanoparticle-coated electrode surface8,9 in situ along with carefully chosen ligands that modulate the reactivity of Ni. Through judicious choice of conditions and ligands, the cross-couplings can be rendered highly diastereoselective. To demonstrate the simplifying power of these reactions, concise syntheses of 14 natural products and two medicinally relevant molecules were completed.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of the well-known O-sulfonylation of cyclopropyl alcohols with sulfonyl chlorides, we examined the feasibility of conducting regioselective C-sulfonylation. By emulating an umpolung strategy-guided design, we report for the first time the Cu(II)-catalyzed β-sulfonylation of cyclopropanols by a mechanism that potentially involves an oxidative addition of a sulfonyl radical to a metal homoenolate. Unlike reported methods, this protocol allows a practical synthetic route to γ-keto sulfone building blocks from cyclopropanols by leveraging commercially available aryl- and alkyl-sulfonyl chlorides, common reagents in organic chemistry laboratories. Using operationally simple open-flask conditions, the preparative scope of starting materials was demonstrated using an array of aryl- and alkyl-substituted sulfonyl chlorides and cyclopropanols (43 examples, up to 96% yield).

Abstract
Reactivity umpolung is an important concept in organic chemistry. Established reactivity umpolung mainly focuses on the aldehyde and umpolung of amide carbonyl group is not known. In this report, we describe a process to obtain the umpolung reactivity of tertiary amide. This process hinges on the efficient reductive stannylation catalyzed by Ir/silane and facile Sn-Li exchange. By leveraging this umpolung reactivity, drug Fluoxetine was derivatized to 12 different analogues via reacting with various electrophiles and four biologically active molecules were prepared concisely. This unlocked umpolung reactivity of tertiary amide is expected to find applications to synthesize complex amines from amides.

Abstract
Organic compounds of biological importance often contain multiple stereogenic C-heteroatom functional groups (e.g. amines, alcohols, and ethers). As a result, synthetic methods to access such compounds in a reliable and stereoselective fashion are important. In this feature article, we present a strategy to enable the introduction of multiple C-heteroatom functional groups in a regiodivergent cross-coupling approach through the use of reductive coupling chemistry employing allenamides. Such processes allow for opportunities to access different heteroatom substitution patterns from the same starting materials.

Abstract
Herein, organocatalytically achieved polarity reversal of cationic bromine is presented. The proven bromocation source N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was converted to a superior bromoanion reagent by H/Br exchange with a secondary amine, substantiated with spectroscopic and computational evidence. The concept has further been used in a successfully accelerated organocatalyzed dibromination of olefins in a non-hazardous, commercially viable process with a wide range of substrate scope. The reactivity of key entities observed through NMR kinetics and reaction acceleration using only 10 mol % of catalyst account for its major success. The nucleophilicity of the bromoanion was found to be superior in comparison to other nucleophiles such as MeOH and H2 O also the protocol dominates over the competing allylic bromination reaction.

Abstract
[1,2]-Phospha-Brook rearrangement entails the generation of α-oxygenated carbanions via the umpolung process. Recently, these anionic species have been widely utilized for several C-C bond forming strategies, providing various useful frameworks that are difficult to access through conventional approaches. However, the application of this powerful methodology in the development of chiral strategies is still at the nascent stage due to challenges involved in controlling chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This synopsis provides a detailed summary of diastereo- and/or enantioselective chemical transformations using [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement.

Abstract
This paper describes the three-step synthesis of TBS-MAC, a masked acyl cyanide (MAC) and a versatile one-carbon oxidation state three synthon. We have developed a scalable and detailed synthesis that involves: (1) acetylation of malononitrile to form the sodium enolate, (2) protonation of the enolate to form acetylmalononitrile, and (3) epoxidation of the enol, rearrangement to an unstable alcohol, and TBS-protection to form the title compound. Both the sodium enolate and acetylmalononitrile are bench-stable precursors to the intermediate hydroxymalononitrile, which can be converted to other MAC reagents beyond TBS by varying the protecting group (Ac, MOM, EE, etc.).

Abstract
The Corey-Seebach reagent plays an important role in organic synthesis because of its broad synthetic applications. The Corey-Seebach reagent is formed by the reaction of an aldehyde or a ketone with 1,3-propane-dithiol under acidic conditions, followed by deprotonation with n-butyllithium. A large variety of natural products (alkaloids, terpenoids, and polyketides) can be accessed successfully by utilizing this reagent. This review article focuses on the recent contributions (post-2006) of the Corey-Seebach reagent towards the total synthesis of natural products such as alkaloids (lycoplanine A, diterpenoid alkaloids, etc.), terpenoids (bisnorditerpene, totarol, etc.), polyketide (ambruticin J, biakamides, etc.), and heterocycles such as rodocaine and substituted pyridines, as well and their applications towards important organic synthesis.

The aim of this essay is to disclose the similarity of a great variety of reactions that proceed between nucleophiles and π-electrophiles-both aromatic and aliphatic. These reactions proceed via initial reversible addition, followed by a variety of transformations that are common for the adducts of both aliphatic and aromatic electrophiles. We hope that understanding of this analogy should help to expand the scope of the known reactions and inspire the search for new reactions that were overlooked.

Abstract
One of the simplest organic functional groups, the alkyne, offers a broad canvas for the design of cascade transformations in which up to three new bonds can be added to each of the two sterically unencumbered, energy-rich carbon atoms. However, kinetic protection provided by strong π-orbital overlap makes the design of new alkyne transformations a stereoelectronic puzzle, especially on multifunctional substrates. This Review describes the electronic properties contributing to the unique utility of alkynes in radical cascades. We describe how to control the selectivity of alkyne activation by various methods, from dynamic covalent chemistry with kinetic self-sorting to disappearing directing groups. Additionally, we demonstrate how the selection of reactive intermediates directly influences the propagation and termination of the cascade. Diverging from a common departure point, a carefully planned reaction route can allow access to a variety of products.

Abstract
The construction of alkyl-alkyl bonds is a powerful tool in organic synthesis. Redox inversion, defined as switching the donor/acceptor profile of a functional group to its acceptor/donor profile, is used for C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling. We report a photocatalytic coupling of carboxylic acids to form bibenzyls through a radical-radical coupling. Mechanistic insight is gained through control reactions. This unexplored redox-opposite relationship between a carboxylic acid and its redox-active ester is implemented in catalysis.

Abstract
Nitroalkane oxidases (NAOs) are flavoenzymes that catalyse the oxidation of nitroalkanes to their corresponding carbonyl compounds while producing nitrite anions. Herein, we present an artificial catalytic system using flavins or ethylene-bridged flavinium salts that works via an NAO-like process. Under conditions optimised in terms of solvent, base, temperature and oxygen pressure, primary nitroalkanes were transformed to aldehydes. In our system, aldehydes immediately reacted with other nitroalkane molecules to form β-nitroalcohols. The reduced flavin catalyst was re-oxidised by oxygen. An alternative mechanism towards β-nitroalcohols via 5-(2-nitrobutyl)-1,5-dihydroflavin was suggested through quantum chemical calculations and by trapping and characterising this dihydroflavin intermediate. Interestingly, 5-(2-nitrobutyl)-1,5-dihydroflavin is an analogue of the flavin adenine dinucleotide adduct previously observed in an NAO X-ray structure. In both mechanistic pathways, flavin-5-iminium species is formed by nitroalkanide addition to flavin. This process represents flavin-based umpolung of an original donor to an acceptor.

Abstract
The rearrangement of dithiolanes and dithianes to access disulfide-linked-dithioesters under visible-light photoredox catalysis via controlled C-S bond cleavage has been disclosed. Unlike, the usual deprotection of dithioacetals to corresponding aldehydes under the oxidative conditions, we observed unique regioselective oxidative reactivity of five and six membered cyclic dithioacetals to form disulfide-linked-dithioesters by exchanging DMAP and imidazole bases. The generality of the protocol has been demonstrated by exploring a wide range of substrates. As an application, in situ generated thiyl radical has been trapped with disulfides to prepare hetero-disulfides of potential utility. The protocol proved to be practical on gram scale quantity and relied on clean energy source for the transformation. Based on the series of control experiments, cyclic voltammetry and Stern-Volmer studies the plausible mechanism has been proposed.

Abstract
This review covers the synthetic applications of 1,4-dithianes, as well as derivatives thereof at various oxidation states. The selected examples show how the specific heterocyclic reactivity can be harnessed for the controlled synthesis of carbon-carbon bonds. The reactivity is compared to and put into context with more common synthetic building blocks, such as 1,3-dithianes and (hetero)aromatic building blocks. 1,4-Dithianes have as yet not been investigated to the same extent as their well-known 1,3-dithiane counterparts, but they do offer attractive transformations that can find good use in the assembly of a wide array of complex molecular architectures, ranging from lipids and carbohydrates to various carbocyclic scaffolds. This versatility arises from the possibility to chemoselectively cleave or reduce the sulfur-heterocycle to reveal a versatile C2-synthon.

Abstract
A novel organobase-catalyzed umpolung reaction of amides was disclosed. This method provides an efficient method to generate and transfer carbamoyl anions. In this transformation, some of the inherent disadvantages of carbamoyl metal were avoided. The mechanistic analysis revealed that the reaction proceeds through polarity inversion of amide, and various carbamoyl anions were applied in the reaction. Moreover, a wide range of substrates was achieved with moderate to excellent yield.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed regioselective hydroamination of α,β-unsaturated phosphonates has been developed to form corresponding α-aminophosphonates of interest in medicinal chemistry. The introduction of an umpolung, electrophilic amination strategy with the hydroxylamine derivative is the key to achieving the α-amination regioselectivity, which is otherwise difficult under the conventional nucleophilic hydroamination conditions with the parent amine. Asymmetric synthesis with a chiral bisphosphine ligand and application to a related silylamination reaction are also described.

Abstract
The scope of an umpolung approach to expand synthetic access to bifunctional γ-keto hydrazine intermediates via electrophilic amination of β-homoenolates derived from cyclopropanol precursors that took advantage of azodicarboxylates or azodicarboxamides as electron-deficient nitrogen sources was examined. This new synthetic procedure avails commercially available or readily accessible starting materials along with a ligand-free Cu(II) salt as an inexpensive catalyst. Using this operationally simple reaction, which proceeds under mild conditions (open-flask and ambient temperature) and is suitable for multigram scale, preparative applications were established with a range of aryl- and alkyl-substituted cyclopropanols and azodicarboxylate/azodicarboxamide substrates (26 examples, 74-95% yields). Further, the obtained products have been shown to provide convenient synthetic access to γ-hydroxy hydrazide, γ-amino hydrazide, and heterocyclic derivatives.

Abstract
![]()
Understanding the fundamental properties governing metal–metal
interactions is crucial to understanding the electronic structure
and thereby applications of multimetallic systems in catalysis, material
science, and magnetism. One such property that is relatively underexplored
within multimetallic systems is metal–metal bond polarity,
parameterized by the electronegativities (χ) of the metal atoms
involved in the bond. In heterobimetallic systems, metal–metal
bond polarity is a function of the donor–acceptor (Δχ)
interactions of the two bonded metal atoms, with electropositive early
transition metals acting as electron acceptors and electronegative
late transition metals acting as electron donors. We show in this
work, through the preparation and systematic study of a series of
Mo2M(dpa)4(OTf)2 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe,
Co, and Ni; dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamide; OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate)
heterometallic extended metal atom chain (HEMAC) complexes that this
expected trend in χ can be reversed. Physical characterization
via single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetometry, and spectroscopic
methods as well as electronic structure calculations supports the
presence of a σ symmetry 3c/3e– bond that
is delocalized across the entire metal-atom chain and forms the basis
of the heterometallic Mo2–M interaction. The delocalized
3c/3e– interaction is discussed within the context
of the analogous 3c/3e– π bonding in the vinoxy
radical, CH2CHO. The vinoxy comparison establishes three
predictions for the σ symmetry 3c/3e– bond
in HEMACS: (1) an umpolung effect that causes the
Mo–M interactions to become more covalent as Δχ
increases, (2) distortion of the σ bonding and non-bonding orbitals
to emphasize Mo–M bonding and de-emphasize Mo–Mo bonding,
and (3) an increase in Mo spin population with increasing Mo–M
covalency. In agreement with these predictions, we find that the Mo2···M covalency increases with increasing Δχ
of the Mo and M atoms (ΔχMo–M increases
as M = Cr < Mn < Fe < Co < Ni), an umpolung of the trend predicted in the absence of σ delocalization.
We attribute the observed trend in covalency to the decreased energic
differential (ΔE) between the heterometal orbital and the σ bonding molecular
orbital of the Mo2 quadruple bond, which serves as an energetically
stable, “ligand”-like electron-pair donor to the heterometal
ion acceptor. As M is changed from Cr to Ni, the σ bonding and
nonbonding orbitals do indeed distort as anticipated, and the spin
population of the outer Mo group is increased by at least a factor
of 2. These findings provide a predictive framework for multimetallic
compounds and advance the current understanding of the electronic
structures of molecular heteromultimetallic systems, which can be
extrapolated to applications in the context of mixed-metal surface
catalysis and multimetallic proteins. This
work describes how use of a metal−metal quadruply
bonded metalloligand can reverse expected trends in metal−metal
bond polarity through the preparation and systematic study of a novel
series of Mo2M(dpa)4(OTf)2 (M = Cr,
Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) heterotrimetallic extended metal atom chain (HEMAC)
complexes. These complexes feature a 3c/3e− metal−metal
bond that is delocalized across the entire metal atom chain and is
compared to the 3c/3e− π bonding in the vinoxyl
radical.

Abstract
We report a new convenient preparation of dicarbamoylzincs of type (R1R2NCO)2Zn by the treatment of ZnCl2 and formamides R1R2NCHO with LiTMP in THF (15 °C, 15 min) or by the reaction of formamides R1R2NCHO with TMP2Zn (25 °C, 16 h). This second method tolerates sensitive groups such as an ester, ketone or nitro function. Reaction of these dicarbamoylzincs with allylic, benzylic, aryl, alkenyl bromides, acid chlorides, aldehydes or enones provided various polyfunctional amides in 47–97 % yields. 13C NMR characterization of these new carbamoylzinc derivatives is reported.

Abstract
A strategy of "Nature-to-new" with iterative scaffold-hopping was considered for investigation of privileged ring/functional motif-elaborated analogs of natural aurones. An organocatalyzed umpolung chemistry based method was established for molecular-diversity feasible synthesis of title class of chemotypes i.e. (Z)-2-Arylideneimidazo[1,2-a]pyridinones and (Z)-2-Arylidenebenzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ones. Various biophysical experiments indicated their important biological properties. The analogs showed characteristic anticancer activities with efficiency more than an anticancer drug. The compounds induced apoptosis with arrest in the S phase of the cell cycle regulation. The compounds' significant effect in up/down-regulation of various apoptotic proteins, an apoptosis cascade, and the inhibition of topoisomerases-mediated DNA relaxation process was identified. The analysis of the structure-activity relationship, interference with biological events and the drug-likeness physicochemical properties of the compounds in the acceptable window indicated distinctive medicinal molecule-to-properties of the investigated chemotypes.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of multi-substituted pyridines from β-aryl-substituted α,β-unsaturated oxime ethers and alkenes via Pd-catalyzed C–H activation has been developed. The method, using Pd(OAc)2 and a sterically hindered pyridine ligand, provides access to various multi-substituted pyridines with complete regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the pyridine products are formed by Pd-catalyzed electrophilic C–H alkenylation of α,β-unsaturated oxime followed by aza-6π-electrocyclization. The utility of this method is showcased by the synthesis of 4-aryl-substituted pyridine derivatives, which are difficult to synthesize efficiently using previously reported Rh-catalyzed strategies with alkenes. An efficient method for the synthesis of multi-substituted pyridines from α,β-unsaturated oxime ethers via cationic Pd(ii)-catalyzed C–H activation has been developed.![]()

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed umpolung of N-2,2,2-trifluoroethylisatin ketimines for the enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with benzo[b]thiophene sulfones was developed. Using a catalyst system consisting of an (S,Sp)-tBu-Phosferrox ligand, Cu(OTf)2, and Cs2CO3, a range of pentacyclic spirooxindoles containing pyrrolidine and benzo[b]sulfolane subunits were obtained in high efficiency with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivites under mild conditions. The practicality and versatility of the reaction were also demonstrated.

Abstract
ConspectusThe concept of umpolung, or polarity reversal, introduced by Seebach and Corey nearly half a century ago, ushered a new paradigm into synthetic chemistry. Novel connections were able to be forged among functional groups that were typically inaccessible. Conceptually, an umpolung reaction is identified only upon retrosynthetic analysis. Stoichiometric examples have served as a platform to develop and refine elegant methodologies into catalytic processes. The advent of these unconventional arrangements of canonical synthons into new points of diversity has expanded the repertoire of the synthetic toolbox. Within this context, asymmetric organocatalyzed methodologies remain rare, and there are even fewer aminocatalyzed variants.Recent years have witnessed a renaissance in α-functionalizations of aldehydes, specifically in the context of oxidative umpolung strategies. Unlike previous open-shell approaches, application of a quinone-based oxidant in conjunction with an aminocatalyst leads to a discrete, substitutionally labile quinone adduct. These have proven to be valuable building blocks toward polar reactivity─auguring the advent of new avenues to construct tetrasubstituted tertiary stereocenters through the application of conventional nucleophiles to form C-C, C-N, C-O, and C-S bonds through an organocatalyzed cross-nucleophile coupling (organo-CNC) reaction. The resulting nonepimerizable stereocenter demonstrates high optical fidelity and provides a significant advancement in many applications that suffer from racemization, such as in vivo studies.This strategy harnesses a trifunctional aminocatalyst to promote an unusual SN2 reaction at a highly congested center. The selection of the quinone oxidant and nucleophile converges to a continuum of reactivity ranging from enantioselective oxidation to stereoselective substitution. A remarkable aspect of these developments is the identification of an asymmetric SN2 dynamic kinetic resolution (SN2-DKR) manifold. These organo-CNC reactions are highly modular and demonstrate complete stereocontrol from the catalyst with minimal influence from incoming chiral nucleophiles. Leveraging this facet, these technologies have been extended to peptidic bioconjugations bearing bio-orthogonoal linker molecules.This Account aims to highlight the progress, from an internal perspective, toward directing the initial result into established methodologies. Within this construct, the underlying principles of each reaction will be disseminated with specific content on inherent challenges and opportunity. Combined, these will serve as an instructive tool to stimulate applications in cross-disciplinary interfaces.

Abstract
The reactivity umpolung of the C═N bond in the quinoxaline scaffold has been successfully realized for the first time by introduction of a formyl or an acyl group adjacent to the C-position of the C═N moiety. The reversed reactivity of the C═N bond thus enabled direct nucleophilic attack of alkyl Grignard reagents at the N-terminus rather than the C-terminus, thereby providing an unprecedented and efficient method for the synthesis of quinoxalin-2(1H)-one derivatives involving a tandem N-alkylation/C─C bond cleavage process.

Abstract
A range of asymmetric photochemical transformations using visible light have recently become considerably attractive. Among the various approaches, chiral Lewis acid association to enones for [2 + 2] and ortho photocycloadditions and oxadi-π-methane rearrangements have shown to be very promising. Naturally, chiral Lewis acid coordination protects one of the prochiral faces of the C═C double bond, which enables an effective enantiodifferentiation in the following bond-forming process(es). Here, we studied regio- and enantiodifferentiating [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions of naphthoquinone derivatives mediated by chiral oxazaborolidines. A stereochemical control was quite challenging for the 2-ene-1,4-dione substrate, as a double coordination of Lewis acid essentially cancels out the face selectivity, and a mono-coordination to each carbonyl group leads to an opposite stereochemical outcome. Furthermore, a stepwise coordination in the ground state of Lewis acid in a 1:1 fashion was practically inaccessible. We found that the excited-state decomplexation is a key to accomplish high regio- and enantioselectivities in the photocycloaddition of an ene-dione.
