Abstract
Although ring-opening reactions of bicyclobutanes bearing electron-withdrawing groups, typically with β-selectivity, have evolved as a powerful platform for synthesis of cyclobutanes, their application in the synthesis of cyclobutenes remains underdeveloped. Here, a novel visible light induced α-selective radical ring-opening reaction of 1,3-disubstituted acyl bicyclobutanes with alkyl radical precursors for the synthesis of functionalized cyclobutenes is described. In particular, primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides are all suitable substrates for this photocatalytic transformation, providing ready access to cyclobutenes with a single all-carbon quaternary center, or with two contiguous centers under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
We develop a copper-catalyzed disilylation of polysubstituted pent-1-en-4-yn-3-yl acetate derivatives, which in one pot furnishes the bis(silyl)-substituted vinylallenes in moderate yields under mild reaction conditions. The reaction shows broad substrate scope and single stereoselectivity. Besides, we develop a method to decrease the electrocyclization temperature of vinylallenes for the synthesis of methylenecyclobutenes by installing bis(silyl) substituents. And the effect of a silyl substituent on electrocyclization of vinylallenes was studied via DFT computation. The synthetic method features broad substrate scope and excellent stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Cyclobutenes as versatile and highly valuable synthons have been widely applied in synthesis. Although various methods for their synthesis have been well established, new strategies for the construction of the cyclobutene skeleton from simple substrates are still highly desirable. Starting from simple cyclobutanes, the construction of the cyclobutene skeleton especially introducing multiple functional groups simultaneously had never been achieved. Here, we developed a novel radical cascade strategy for the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutenes directly from cyclobutanes involving rare cleavage of four or five C–H bonds and formation of two C–N/C–S or three C–Br bonds. With copper as catalyst and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as oxidant, a wide range of diaminated, disulfonylated and tribrominated cyclobutene derivatives were efficiently synthesized. A novel radical cascade strategy for the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutenes directly from cyclobutanes involving rare four or five C–H bonds cleavage and two C–N/C–S or three C–Br bonds formation has been successfully developed.![]()

We report here the
application of silyl enol ether moieties as
efficient alkene coupling partners within cobalt-mediated intramolecular
Pauson–Khand reactions. This cyclization strategy delivers
synthetically valuable oxygenated cyclopentenone products in yields
of ≤93% from both ketone- and aldehyde-derived silyl enol ethers,
incorporates both terminal and internal alkyne partners, and delivers
a variety of decorated systems, including more complex tricyclic structures.
Facile removal of the silyl protecting group reveals oxygenated sites

Abstract
Fast extraction of high-purity nucleic acid from complex biological sample is the key to downstream nucleic acid analysis. In this work, two low-viscosity hydrophobic magnetic deep eutectic solvents (HMDESs) were synthesized for the selective extraction of DNA. The conformation of the HMDES was simulated by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Characterization of HMDESs' physical (magnetism, density, viscosity, and hydrophobicity) properties and thermal (melting point and decomposition temperature) properties were conducted. Based on the HMDESs, a vortex-assisted liquid-liquid micro-extraction (VALLME) DNA method was developed. Single stranded DNA that was extracted by HMDESs could be quickly collected by an external magnet. Factors that could impact the DNA extraction process, such as HMDESs volume, temperature, extraction time, and pH were systematically investigated via single-factor experimental analysis. Under the optimized condition, the proposed extraction method has been demonstrated with the extraction of DNA from a series of complex sample matrices, including metal mixture, protein mixture and E. coli cell lysate. The DNA extracted by using HMDES-based VALLME method was well suitable for PCR amplifications. After extraction, the retained DNAs could be readily recovered by simply using Britton-Robison (BR) buffer. In addition, the interaction and corresponding binding sites between HMDESs and DNA were investigated by FT-IR and DFT calculation. This work provides a new green magnetic solvent and a rapid and environmental-friendly extraction method for the enrichment of DNA and other biological macromolecules.

Abstract
Herein, we present a mild and efficient method for synthesizing enantioenriched tetrahydroquinoline-fused cyclobutenes through a cascade reaction between 1,2-dihydroquinolines and alkynones with catalysis by chiral spiro-bicyclic bisboranes. The bisboranes served two functions: first they catalyzed a hydride transfer to convert the 1,2-dihydroquinoline substrate to a 1,4-dihydroquinoline, and then they activated the alkynone substrate for an enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with the 1,4-dihydroquinoline generated in situ.

Abstract
Conjugated ynones are easily accessible feedstock and the existence of an alkyne bond endows ynones with different attractive reactivities, thus making them unique substrates for catalytic asymmetric reactions. Their compatibility under organocatalytic, metal-catalyzed as well as cooperative catalytic conditions has resulted in numerous enantioselective transformations. Importantly, conjugated ynones can act as nucleophiles or electrophiles, and serve as easily accessed synthons for different cyclization pathways. This review summarizes the recent literature examples of the catalytic reactions of conjugated ynones and related compounds such as alkyne conjugated α-ketoesters, and classifies these reaction types alongside mechanistic insights whenever possible. We aim to trigger more intensive research in the future to render the asymmetric transformation of ynones as a common and reliable tool for asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
A catalytic enantioselective formal [2+2] cycloaddition between α-halo acroleins and electronically diverse arylalkenes is described. In the presence of (S)-oxazaborolidinium cation as the catalyst, densely functionalized cyclobutanes containing two vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters were produced in high yields and high diastereoselectivities with excellent enantioselectivities. Mechanistic studies revealed that the cis isomer could be transformed into the trans isomer via an enantiocontrolled process. A gram-scale reaction of this catalytic method was used to demonstrate its synthetic potential.

Abstract
Three- and four-membered rings, widespread motifs in nature and medicinal chemistry, have fascinated chemists ever since their discovery. However, due to energetic considerations, small rings are often difficult to assemble. In this regard, homogeneous gold catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool to construct these highly strained carbocycles. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of all the major advances and discoveries made in the gold-catalyzed synthesis of cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes, cyclobutenes, and their corresponding heterocyclic or heterosubstituted analogs.

Abstract
The nickel-catalyzed synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclobutenes from alkynes is reported. This transformation is uniquely promoted by the use of a primary aminophosphine, an unusual ligand in nickel catalysis. Mechanistic insights for this new transformation are provided, and postreaction modifications of the cyclobutene products to stereodefined cyclic and acyclic compounds are reported, including the synthesis of epi-truxillic acid.

Abstract
Identification of a novel catalyst-allenoate pair allows enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of α-methylstyrene. To understand the origin of selectivity, a detailed mechanistic investigation was conducted. Herein, two competing reaction pathways are proposed, which operate simultaneously and funnel the alkenes to the same axially chiral cyclobutanes. In agreement with the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, this mechanistic curiosity can be rationalized through a unique symmetry operation that was elucidated by deuteration experiments. In the case of 1,1-diarylalkenes, distal communication between the catalyst and alkene is achieved through subtle alteration of electronic properties and conformation. In this context, a Hammett study lends further credibility to a concerted mechanism. Thus, extended scope exploration, including β-substitution on the alkene to generate two adjacent stereocenters within the cyclobutane ring, is achieved in a highly stereospecific and enantioselective fashion (33 examples, up to >99:1 er).

Abstract
Reported is the utilization of electronically biased conjugated alkynes in the development of highly diastereo- and regioselective dearomative [2 + 2] cycloadditions, alkenylations, and ring expansions of electron-rich indoles. Regioselective protonations of cross- and linear-conjugated alkynes were found to be crucial for accessing various cyclobutene-fused indoline and alkenylated indole derivatives. Furthermore, the facile ring expansion of [2 + 2] keto adducts, which were successfully synthesized from ynones, provided 1 H-benzo[ b]azepine scaffolds.

Abstract
Since the pioneering work by Macmillan, Yoon, and Stephenson, homogeneous photoredox catalysis has occupied a central place in new reaction development in the field of organic chemistry. While heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysis has also been studied extensively, it has generally been recognized as a redox option in inorganic chemistry where such "photocatalysis" is most often used to catalyze carbon-carbon bond cleavage and not in organic chemistry where bond formation is usually the focal point. Herein, we demonstrate that titanium dioxide photocatalysis is a powerful redox option to construct carbon-carbon bonds by using intermolecular formal [2 + 2] cycloadditions as models. Synergy between excited electrons and holes generated upon irradiation is expected to promote the overall net redox neutral process. Key for the successful application is the use of a lithium perchlorate/nitromethane electrolyte solution, which exhibits remarkable Lewis acidity to facilitate the reactions of carbon-centered radical cations with carbon nucleophiles. The reaction mechanism is reasonably understood based on both intermolecular and intramolecular single electron transfer regulated by an aromatic "redox tag". Most of the reactions were completed in less than 30 min even in aqueous and/or aerobic conditions without the need for sacrificial reducing or oxidizing substrates generally required for homogeneous photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
The [2+2] cycloaddition is a versatile strategy for the synthesis of strained cyclobutenes of high synthetic value. In this study, two efficient intermolecular [2+2] cycloadditions between two different types of chloroalkynes and unactivated alkene are realized with gold catalysis. Of significance is that the reaction works with challenging monosubstituted unactivated alkenes, which is unprecedented in gold catalysis and scarcely documented in other metal-catalyzed/promoted reactions; moreover, the reaction exhibits excellent regioselectivities, which are much better than those reported in literature. With 1,2-disubstituted unactivated alkenes, the reaction is largely stereospecific. The cyclobutene products can be prepared in nearly gram scale and readily undergo further reactions including various cross-coupling reactions using the C(sp2)-Cl and/or C(sp2)-SPh bond, which in turn substantially broaden the scope of accessible cyclobutenes and enhance the synthetic utility of this bimolecular reaction.

Abstract
The first synthesis of hebelophyllene E is presented, along with assignment of its previously unknown relative configuration through synthesis of epi-ent-hebelophyllene E. Development of a catalytic enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition of alkenes and allenoates provides access to the required chiral geminal dimethylcyclobutanes. Key to its success is the identification of a novel oxazaborolidine catalyst which promotes the cycloaddition in high enantioselectivities with good functional-group tolerance (9 examples, up to 97:3 e.r.). Thus, a late-stage cycloaddition using a fully functionalized alkene, followed by a diastereoselective reduction allows a concise entry to this class of natural products.

Abstract
Catalytic asymmetric cycloadditions and cascade cyclizations are a major focus for the enantioselective construction of chiral carbo- and heterocycles. A number of chiral Lewis acids and organocatalysts have been designed for such reactions. The development of broadly applicable catalysts bearing novel chiral backbones to meet the demands of various applications is an ongoing challenge. Approximately 10 years ago, we introduced a group of conformationally flexible C2-symmetric N,N'-dioxide amide compounds, which represent a new class of privileged ligands. The coordination of the four oxygens of a chiral N,N'-dioxide around a central metal generates an octahedral tricyclometalated Lewis acid catalyst that can carry out various enantioselective reactions. In this Account, we summarize our recent studies on asymmetric cycloadditions between various dienophiles and dienes, dipoles and dipolarophiles, and cascade cyclizations catalyzed by chiral N,N'-dioxide-metal complexes. In principle, these unique chiral catalysts lower the LUMO energy of electron-deficient 2π components or heterodienes by coordination with the functional groups via various binding modes. With N-Boc-3-alkenyloxindole and alkylidene malonate as the electron-deficient 2π components, N,N'-dioxide-metal complexes provided excellent catalytic activities and asymmetric inductions for a variety of transformations, including [2 + 1], [3 + 2], [4 + 2], and [8 + 2] cycloadditions. Mechanistically, these substrates could be efficiently activated through bidentate coordination. The strategy was also useful for asymmetric cascade cyclizations to form polycyclic adducts. Monodentate or bidentate coordination of other α,β-unsubstituted carbonyl compounds to metal centers enabled both normal Diels-Alder reactions and inverse-electron-demand hetero-Diels-Alder reactions as well as [2 + 2] additions. Furthermore, hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of aldehydes, ketones, and imines are well-tolerated and afford various heterocycles. This includes allowing the concise synthesis of the antimalarial compound KAE609. Asymmetric Michael/cyclization reactions of bidentate α,β-unsaturated pyrazolamides gave efficient access to the chiral drugs (-)-paroxetine and (R)-thiazesim. The formal [3 + 2] cycloadditions of donor-acceptor epoxides and aziridines enantioselectively gave a series of five-membered oxo- and aza-heterocycles. The reaction of cyclopropane diketones showed unprecedented reactivities and provided a new route for the synthesis of dihydropyrrole and benzimidazole derivatives. General models for the catalytic reactions emerged from knowledge of the absolute configurations of the products of several reactions and X-ray crystal structures of the catalysts. In the field of chirality created by the coordination of an N,N'-dioxide to a metal center, the bonding of one or two reactants establishes a perfect reaction template for generation of the target adducts. Representative examples have been used to demonstrate how the substructures of the ligands and other reaction components affect the stereoselectivity and how metal salts impact the reactivity. These results reveal the importance of tunability and compatibility of the ligands and metal precursors for achieving high stereoinduction and activity.

Abstract
Combined Lewis acid, consisting of two or more Lewis acids, sometimes shows unique catalytic ability, and it may promote reactions which could not be catalyzed by any of the Lewis acids solely. On the other hand, the development of efficient methods for the facile synthesis of cyclobutenes and densely functionalized decalins is an attractive target for synthetic chemists due to their versatile synthetic utilities and widespread occurrence in natural products. Herein, we wish to report an efficient method for the assembly of cyclobutenes and densely functionalized decalin skeletons through In(tfacac)3-TMSBr catalyzed selective [2 + 2]-cycloaddition and dearomatizing cascade reaction of aryl alkynes with acrylates with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. The obtained cyclobutene could be easily converted into cyclobutane as well as synthetically useful 1,4- and 1,5-diketones with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. On the basis of mechanistic studies, plausible reaction mechanisms were proposed for both the [2 + 2]-cycloaddition and the dearomatizing cascade reaction. Finally, the computational studies of reaction mechanisms were conducted, and the results suggest that the combined Lewis acid could efficiently promote both reactions.

Abstract
Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis has become an indispensable and productive field within the Chinese organic chemistry society. The design of chiral ligands is one of the most prominent research areas in this field. Since the late 1990s, Chinese organic chemists have developed numerous chiral ligands possessing novel chiral skeletons and design concepts. Some of these ligands have been widely adopted and can be regarded as ‘privileged ligand’, which have shown excellent performance in many asymmetric catalytic reactions. In this review, we provide an overview of the chiral ligands designed by Chinese scientists with the aim of promoting the development of this area in China and with the hope of encouraging more scientists across the world to use these ligands when designing asymmetric reactions.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective tandem Michael/ring-closure reaction of α,β-unsaturated pyrazoleamides and amidomalonates has been accomplished in the presence of a chiral N,N'-dioxide-Yb(OTf)3 complex (Tf: trifluoromethanesulfonyl) to give various substituted chiral glutarimides with high yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Moreover, this methodology could be used for gram-scale manipulation and was successfully applied to the synthesis of (-)-paroxetine. Further nonlinear and HRMS studies revealed that the real catalytically active species was a monomeric L-PMe2 -Yb3+ complex. A plausible transition state was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction.
