Abstract
Cobalt catalysts promote highly enantioselective ring-opening reactions of 2,5-dihydrofurans using vinylidenes. The products are acyclic organozinc compounds that can be functionalized with an electrophile. The proposed mechanism involves the generation of a cobalt vinylidene species that adds to the alkene by a [2+2]-cycloaddition pathway. Ring-opening then occurs via outer-sphere β-O elimination assisted by coordination of a ZnX2 Lewis acid to the alkoxide leaving group. DFT models reveal that competing inner-sphere syn β-H and β-O elimination pathways are suppressed by the geometric constraints of the metallacycle intermediate. These models rationalize the observed stereochemical outcome of the reaction.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions of alkynes and imines are attractive methods for the synthesis of chiral allylic amines. Mechanistically, these reactions involve oxidative cyclization of the alkyne and the imine to generate a metallacyclic intermediate, which then reacts with H2 or a H2 surrogate to form the product. As an alternative to this hydrogenolysis pathway, here we show that transmetalation to zinc can occur, forming a zinc metallacycle product. This organozinc product serves as a versatile nucleophile for carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom coupling reactions. Mechanistic studies based on isotopic labeling experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the key transmetalation step occurs between a Co(II) species and ZnCl2.

Abstract
The stannum-ene reactions of both benzyne and cyclohexyne were realized, which is particularly suitable for cyclohexyne with a broad substrate scope and excellent chemoselectivity. Our DFT calculations via distortion/interaction analysis revealed that both stannum- and hydrogen-ene reactions with cyclohexyne have later transition states due to their higher distortion energies in the transition states than those in benzyne reactions, which lead to enhanced Pauli repulsion as the decisive factor in the interaction energy accompanied with enlarged energy gap between two types of ene reactions. Therefore, excellent chemoselectivity was disclosed in the cyclohexyne-ene reaction.
