Abstract
The first total synthesis of the Euphorbia diterpenoid pepluacetal is disclosed in both racemic and chiral fashions. The synthesis strategically relies on a photo-induced Wolff rearrangement/lactonization cascade (WRLC) reaction to access the cyclobutane moiety, a ring-closing metathesis/cyclopropanation sequence to rapidly forge the 7-3 bicyclic system, and a late-stage Rh-catalyzed transannular carbenoid insertion to C(sp3)-H bond followed by a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and ring-opening manipulations to install the side chain. The synthetic route demonstrates excellent stereochemical control on the non-classical concave-face bond formation, remote traceless stereochemical relay and high scalability to provide 20 mg of (+)-pepluacetal.

Abstract
Cyclobutanes with a gem-dimethyl group are common motifs in natural products. However, strategies for constructing enantioenriched gem-dimethyl cyclobutanes are still underdeveloped. Herein, we report an enantioselective approach to synthesize a broad group of chiral 2,3-disubstituted cyclobutanones through sequential 1,4-conjugate addition/trapping/cross-coupling of readily available cyclobutenones. The intermediate 2-bromocyclobutanone provides a valuable synthetic handle for further coupling transformations. In addition, this strategy was successfully utilized to synthesize gem-dimethyl cyclobutane-containing natural products, including (+)-β-caryophyllene, (-)-raikovenal, (-)-1β,9αH-5-linoleoyloxy-4,5-secocaryophyllen-4-one, and (-)-rumphellanones A-C.

Abstract
Aliphatic strained rings have been increasingly applied in medicinal chemistry due to their beneficial physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. However, the divergent synthesis of enantioenriched cyclobutane derivatives with various structural patterns continues to be a significant challenge. Here, we disclose a palladium-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of cyclobutenes, resulting in a series of hydroarylation and 1,2- and 1,3-diarylation products via the interceptions of a common Heck intermediate. Mechanistic investigations provide valuable insights into understanding the catalytic mode of the palladium catalysts and the observed variations in the deuterium-responsive behavior during reactions. Furthermore, the synthetic utility is demonstrated in the syntheses of deuterated drug candidate belaperidone skeletons and pseudosymmetrical truxinic acid-type derivatives.

Abstract
Polymer mechanochemistry has been established as an enabling tool in accessing chemical reactivity and reaction pathways that are distinctive from their thermal counterparts. However, eliciting diversified reaction pathways by activating different constituent chemical bonds from the same mechanophore structure remains challenging. Here, we report the design of a bicyclo[2.2.0]hexene (BCH) mechanophore to leverage its structural simplicity and relatively low molecular symmetry to demonstrate this idea of multimodal activation. Upon changing the attachment points of pendant polymer chains, three different C-C bonds in bicyclo[2.2.0]hexene are specifically activated via externally applied force by sonication. Experimental characterization confirms that in different scenarios of polymer attachment, the regioisomers of BCH undergo different activation reactions, entailing retro-[2+2] cycloreversion, 1,3-allylic migration, and retro-4π ring-opening reactions, respectively. Control experiments with small-molecule analogues reveal that the observed diversified reactivity of BCH regioisomers is possible only with mechanical force. Theoretical studies further elucidate that the differences in the positions of substitution between regioisomers have a minimal impact on the potential energy surface of the parent BCH scaffold. The mechanochemical selectivity between different C-C bonds in each constitutional isomer is a result of selective and effective coupling of force to the aligned C-C bond in each case.

Abstract
Four-membered carbocycles are fundamental substructures in bioactive molecules and approved drugs and serve as irreplaceable building blocks in organic synthesis. However, developing efficient protocols furnishing diversified four-membered ring compounds in a highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective fashion remains challenging but very desirable. Here, we report the unprecedented asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of cyclobutenediones. The reaction can selectively afford three types of four-membered products in high yields with high stereoselectivities, and the highly functionalized products enable a series of further transformations to form more diversified four-membered compounds. Asymmetric synthesis of di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted bioactive molecules has also been achieved. Systematic mechanistic studies and theoretical calculations have revealed the origin of the regioselectivity, the key hydrogenation transition state models, and the sequence of the double and triple hydrogenation processes. The work provides a new choice for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of cyclobutanes and related structures and demonstrates the robustness of asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in the accurate selectivity control of highly functionalized substrates.

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
ConspectusCycloaddition reactions are an effective method to quickly build molecular complexity. As predicted by the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, concerted cycloadditions with alkenes allow for the constructions of all possible stereoisomers of product by use of either the Z or E geometry. While this feature of cycloadditions is widely used in, for example, [4 + 2] cycloadditions, translation to [2 + 2] cycloadditions is challenging because of the often stepwise and therefore stereoconvergent nature of these processes. Over the past decade, our lab has explored Lewis acid-promoted [2 + 2] cycloadditions of electron-deficient allenes or ketenes with alkenes. The concerted, asynchronous cycloadditions allow for the synthesis of various cyclobutanes with control of stereochemistry.Our lab developed the first examples of Lewis acid-promoted ketene-alkene [2 + 2] cycloadditions. Compared with traditional thermal conditions, Lewis acid-promoted conditions have several advantages, such as increased reactivity, increased yield, improved diastereoselectivity, and, for certain cases, inverse diastereoselectivity. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed that the diastereoselectivity was controlled by the size of the substituent and the barrier of a deconjugation event. However, these reactions required the use of stoichiometric amounts of EtAlCl2 because of the product inhibition, which led us to investigate catalytic enantioselective [2 + 2] cycloadditions of allenoates with alkenes. Through the use of chiral oxazaborolidines, a broad range of cyclobutanes can be prepared with the control of enantioselectivity. Mechanistic experiments, including 2D-labled alkenes and Hammett analysis, illuminate likely transition state models for the cycloadditions. Additional studies led to the development of Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular stereoselective [2 + 2] cycloadditions of chiral allenic ketones/esters with alkenes.The methods we developed have been instrumental in the synthesis of several families of natural products. Specifically, one key lactone motif in (±)-gracilioether F was constructed by a ketene-alkene [2 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent regioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation sequence. Enantioselective allenoate-alkene [2 + 2] cycloadditions allowed for the synthesis of (-)-hebelophyllene E. Another attempt of applying this method in the synthesis of (+)-[5]-ladderanoic acid failed to deliver the desired cyclobutane because of an unexpected rearrangement. The key cyclobutane was later assembled by a stepwise carboboration/Zweifel olefination process. Finally, the stereoselective [2 + 2] cycloadditions of allenic ketones and alkenes was applied in the syntheses of (-)-[3]-ladderanol, (+)-hippolide J, and (-)-cajanusine.

Abstract
Catalytic enantioselective functionalization of cyclobutenes constitutes a general and modular strategy for construction of enantioenriched complex cyclobutanes bearing multiple stereogenic centers, as chiral four-membered rings are common motifs in biologically active molecules and versatile intermediates in organic synthesis. However, enantioselective synthesis of cyclobutanes through such a strategy remained significantly limited. Herein, we report a series of unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions of cyclobutenes that are initiated through enantioselective carbometalation. The protocols feature diastereo- and enantioselective introduction of allyl, alkynyl, and functionalized alkyl groups. Mechanistic studies indicated an unusual 1,3-cobalt migration and subsequent β-carbon elimination cascade process occurred in the allyl addition. These new discoveries established a new elementary process for cobalt catalysis and an extension of diversity of nucleophiles for enantioselective transformations of cyclobutenes.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in cyclobutanes within the medicinal chemistry community. Therefore, methods to prepare cyclobutanes that contain synthetic handles for further elaboration are of interest. Herein, we report a new approach for the synthesis of 3-borylated cyclobutanols via a formal [3 + 1]-cycloaddition using readily accessible 1,1-diborylalkanes and epihalohydrins or epoxy alcohol derivatives. 1-Substituted epibromohydrin starting materials provide access to borylated cyclobutanols containing substituents at three of the four positions on the cyclobutane core, and enantioenriched epibromohydrins lead to enantioenriched cyclobutanols with high levels of enantiospecificity (>98%). Finally, derivatization studies demonstrate the synthetic utility of both the OH and Bpin handles.

Abstract
Two catalytic systems have been developed for the arylboration of endocyclic enecarbamates to deliver synthetically versatile borylated saturated N-heterocycles in good regio- and diastereoselectivities. A Cu/Pd dual catalytic reaction enables the synthesis of borylated, α-arylated azetidines, while a Ni-catalysed arylboration reaction efficiently functionalizes 5-, 6-, and 7-membered enecarbamates. In the case of the Cu/Pd-system, a remarkable additive effect was identified that allowed for broader scope. The products are synthetically useful, as demonstrated by manipulations of the boronic ester to access biologically active compounds.

Abstract
A strategy for the photosensitized cycloaddition of alkenylboronates and allylic alcohols by a temporary coordination is presented. The process allows for the synthesis of a diverse range of cyclobutylboronates. Key to development of these reactions is the temporary coordination of the allylic alcohol to the Bpin unit. This not only allows for the reaction to proceed in an intramolecular manner but also allows for high levels of stereo and regiocontrol. A key aspect of these studies is the utility of the cycloadducts in the synthesis of complex natural products artochamin J and piperarborenine B.

Abstract
Carbocycles are a key and widely present structural motif in organic compounds. The construction of structurally intriguing carbocycles, such as highly-strained fused rings, spirocycles or highly-functionalized carbocycles with congested stereocenters, remains challenging in organic chemistry. Cyclopropanes, cyclobutanes and cyclopentanes within such carbocycles can be synthesized through ring contraction. These ring contractions involve re-arrangement of and/or small molecule extrusion from a parental ring, which is either a carbocycle or a heterocycle of larger size. This review provides an overview of synthetic methods for ring contractions to form cyclopropanes, cyclobutanes and cyclopentanes en route to structurally intriguing carbocycles.

Abstract
A new strategy for the synthesis of highly versatile cyclobutylboronates via the photosensitized [2+2]-cycloaddition of alkenylboronates and alkenes is presented. The process is mechanistically different from other processes in that energy transfer occurs with the alkenylboronate as opposed to the other alkene. This strategy allows for the synthesis of an array of diverse cyclobutylboronates. The conversion of these adducts to other compounds as well as their utility in the synthesis of melicodenine C is demonstrated.

Abstract
Ladderane phospholipids, with their unusual ladder-like arrangement of concatenated cyclobutane rings, represent an architecturally unique class of natural products. However, despite their fascinating structure and other necessary impetus, only a few synthetic studies of these molecules have been reported so far. We have now devised a concise total synthesis of [3]-ladderanol, a component of natural ladderane phospholipids, using an organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing formal C(sp2 )-H alkylation. Our synthetic strategy rests on the late-stage introduction of chirality, thus allowing facile access to both enantiomers of [3]-ladderanol as well as an analogue. This is the first time a desymmetrization strategy is applied to the synthesis of [3]-ladderanol. The scope of this desymmetrizing C(sp2 )-H alkylation of meso-cyclobutane-fused cyclohexenediones is also presented.

Abstract
The visible-light-promoted activation of conjugated C-C double bonds is well developed, while that of cumulated systems is underexplored. We present the feasibility of this challenging approach. The localization of a triplet on an allenamide arm can be favored over that on a conjugated alkene. Allenamides with an arylacryloyl arm dimerize at room temperature in the presence of visible light and an iridium(iii) photocatalyst. Two orthogonal polycyclizations took place and their outcome is entirely dictated by the substitution of the alkene partner. Both cascades afford complex molecular architectures with high selectivity. Products form through the ordered rearrangement of twelve π electrons, providing a [3.2.0] bicyclic unit tethered to a fused tricycle, whose formation included an aryl C-H functionalization step, using disubstituted alkenes. The outcome was reverted with trisubstituted ones, which gave rise to taxane-like bridged tricycles that had two six-membered lactams flanking a cyclooctane ring, which was established through the creation of four alternate C-C bonds.

Abstract
This review discusses recent advances in the chemistry of saturated boronic acids, boronates, and trifluoroborates. Applications of the title compounds in the design of boron-containing drugs are surveyed, with special emphasis on α-amino boronic derivatives. A general overview of saturated boronic compounds as modern tools to construct C(sp3 )-C and C(sp3 )-heteroatom bonds is given, including recent developments in the Suzuki-Miyaura and Chan-Lam cross-couplings, single-electron-transfer processes including metallo- and organocatalytic photoredox reactions, and transformations of boron "ate" complexes. Finally, an attempt to summarize the current state of the art in the synthesis of saturated boronic acids, boronates, and trifluoroborates is made, with a brief mention of the "classical" methods (transmetallation of organolithium/magnesium reagents with boron species, anti-Markovnikov hydroboration of alkenes, and the modification of alkenyl boron compounds) and a special focus on recent methodologies (boronation of alkyl (pseudo)halides, derivatives of carboxylic acids, alcohols, and primary amines, boronative C-H activation, novel approaches to alkene hydroboration, and 1,2-metallate-type rearrangements).

Abstract
Cyclobutyl moieties in drug molecules are rare, and in general, they are minimally substituted and stereochemically simple. Methods to assemble structurally complex cyclobutane building blocks suitable for rapid diversification are thus highly desirable. We report herein a photosensitized [2 + 2] cycloaddition with vinyl boronate esters affording straightforward access to complex, densely functionalized cyclobutane scaffolds. Mechanistic studies suggest an activation mode involving energy transfer to the styrenyl alkene rather than the vinyl boronate ester.

Abstract
Asymmetric multicomponent reactions allow stitching several functional groups in an enantioselective and atom economical manner. The introduction of boron-based reagents as a multicomponent coupling partner has its own merits. In addition to being non-toxic and highly stable, organoboron compounds can be easily converted to other functional groups in a stereoselective manner. In the last decade several transition metal catalyzed asymmetric multicomponent strategies have been evolved using boron based reagents. This review will discuss the merits and scope of multicomponent strategies based on their difference in the reaction mechanism and transition metals involved.

Abstract
The ladderane family of natural products are well known for their linearly concatenated cyclobutane skeletal structure. Owing to their unique carbocyclic framework, several chemical syntheses have been reported since their discovery in 2002. The focus of this review is to showcase the novel tactics that have been used to generate the ladderane core and the challenges that are associated with the synthesis of these unusual and complex natural products.

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.
