Abstract
Presented herein is the exploration of a novel non-covalent anion-carbonyl (X-···C═O) interaction using aromatic imides as receptors and halides as lone pair donors. Combined theoretical calculations and experimental methods including 13C NMR, IR, and crystallographic analyses were performed to provide the physical origin and experimental evidence of anion-carbonyl interactions. The EDA analysis (energy decomposition analysis) based on DFT calculation indicates that electrostatic terms are the dominant contributions for the binding energy while electron delocalization also significantly contributes alongside the electrostatic attraction. Orbital interaction (n → π*) involving the delocalization of halide lone pairs on the carbonyl antibonding orbitals was visualized with NBO (Natural Bond Orbital) analysis. 13C NMR and IR spectra demonstrated upfield chemical shifts and red-shift frequency of hosts upon the addition of halides, reflecting the effect of orbital overlap between the halide lone pairs and π* of carbonyl (n → π* contribution). The anion-carbonyl interactions were directly revealed by X-ray structural analysis of anion and benzene triimide complexes.

Abstract
Herein, we present an efficient and practical kinetic resolution (KR) of racemic allylic pyrazoles utilizing photoexcited chiral-copper-complex-mediated alkene E → Z isomerization. This method enables the synthesis of both enantioenriched E- and Z-allylic pyrazoles, achieving enantiomeric excesses (e.e.) of up to 97% and selectivity factors (S factors) as high as 217. Remarkably, the method's ability to furnish allylic pyrazoles with the Z-configuration, which is notably arduous to obtain under thermodynamic control, underscores the transformative potential of this synthetic protocol.

Abstract
The photocatalytic synthesis of thermodynamically less-stable Z-alkenes has received considerable research attention in recent years. In this study, a recycling photoreactor was applied to the photoisomerization of E-alkenes (cinnamamide and Weinreb amide derivatives) to produce Z-alkenes. The closed-loop recycling system comprises an immobilized photosensitizer to achieve rapid photoisomerization and a high-performance liquid chromatography instrument for separation of the Z/E diastereomers. After 4-10 cycles, the desired pure Z-alkenes were obtained efficiently. In the photoreactor system, a photosensitizer (thioxanthone) was covalently immobilized on silica gel via amide bonding, which led to an enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to the parent thioxanthone. This recycling photoreactor shows promise as an alternative system for the production of Z-alkenes.

Abstract
Herein, we have used gas-phase electronic and vibrational spectroscopic techniques for the first time to study the N···C═O n → π* interaction in ethyl 2-(2-(dimethylamino) phenyl) acetate (NMe2-Ph-EA). We have measured the electronic spectra of NMe2-Ph-EA in the mass channels of its two distinct fragments of m/z = 15 and 192 using a resonant two-photon ionization technique as there was extensive photofragmentation of NMe2-Ph-EA. Identical electronic spectra obtained in the mass channels of both fragments confirm the dissociation of NMe2-Ph-EA in the ionic state, and hence, the electronic spectrum of the fragment represents that of NMe2-Ph-EA only. UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy proved the presence of a single conformer of NMe2-Ph-EA in the experiment. Detailed quantum chemistry calculations reveal the existence of a N···C═O n → π* interaction in all six low-energy conformers of NMe2-Ph-EA. A comparison of the IR spectrum of NMe2-Ph-EA acquired from the gas-phase experiment with those obtained from theoretical calculations indicates that the experimentally observed conformer has a N···C═O n → π* interaction. The present finding might be further valuable in drug design and their recognition based on the N···C═O n → π* interaction.

Abstract
Configurationally-defined dienes are pervasive across the bioactive natural product spectrum, where they typically manifest themselves as sorbic acid-based fragments. These C5 motifs reflect the biosynthesis algorithms that facilitate their construction. To complement established biosynthetic paradigms, a chemical platform to facilitate the construction of stereochemically defined, functionalizable dienes by light-enabled isomerization has been devised. Enabled by selective energy transfer catalysis, a variety of substituted β-boryl sorbic acid derivatives can be isomerized in a regio- and stereo-selective manner (up to 97 : 3). Directionality is guided by a stabilizing nO→pB interaction in the product: this constitutes a formal anti-hydroboration of the starting alkyne. This operationally simple reaction employs low catalyst loadings (1 mol %) and is complete in 1 h. X-ray analysis supports the hypothesis that the nO→pB interaction leads to chromophore bifurcation: this provides a structural foundation for selective energy transfer.

Abstract
Unprecedented MsOH-promoted diastereoselective cascade dimerization and intramolecular lactonization of readily accessible α,β-unsaturated γ-ketoesters are presented. The results obtained in this work, control experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the initial enolization and E to Z isomerization/equilibration of olefin (C=C) of substrate α,β-unsaturated γ-ketoesters give a Z-isomer preferentially over an E-isomer. Subsequently, the Z-isomer undergoes intermolecular annulation with α,β-unsaturated γ-ketoesters via domino Michael addition/ketalization/lactonization steps to furnish fused tetracyclic pyrano-ketal-lactone. However, the Z-isomer prefers intramolecular trans-esterification in a competing pathway and gives bicyclic γ-ylidene-butenolide. The key features of this work include simple Brønsted acid catalysis, the formation of three bonds, two rings, and three contiguous stereogenic centers in a single step, DFT calculations, and the assignment of relative stereochemistry through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses.

Abstract
The past century has witnessed a large number of reports on the Z/E isomerization of alkenes. However, the vast majority of them are still limited to the isomerization of di- and tri-substituted alkenes. The stereospecific Z/E isomerization of tetrasubstituted alkenes remains to be an underdeveloped area, thus lacking in a stereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral alkenes. Herein we report the atroposelective synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkene analogues by asymmetric allylic substitution-isomerization, followed by their Z/E isomerization via triplet energy transfer photocatalysis. In this regard, the stereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral N-vinylquinolinones is achieved efficiently. Mechanistic studies indicate that the benzylic radical generation and distribution are two key factors for preserving the enantioselectivities of axially chiral compounds.

Abstract
Excited (triplet) states offer a myriad of attractive synthetic pathways, including cycloadditions, selective homolytic bond cleavages and strain-release chemistry, isomerizations, deracemizations, or the fusion with metal catalysis. Recent years have seen enormous advantages in enabling these reactivity modes through visible-light-mediated triplet-triplet energy transfer catalysis (TTEnT). This tutorial review provides an overview of this emerging strategy for synthesizing sought-after organic motifs in a mild, selective, and sustainable manner. Building on the photophysical foundations of energy transfer, this review also discusses catalyst design, as well as the challenges and opportunities of energy transfer catalysis.

Abstract
Synthetic chemistry has traditionally relied on reactions between reactants of high chemical potential and transformations that proceed energetically downhill to either a global or local minimum (thermodynamic or kinetic control). Catalysts can be used to manipulate kinetic control, lowering activation energies to influence reaction outcomes. However, such chemistry is still constrained by the shape of one-dimensional reaction coordinates. Coupling synthesis to an orthogonal energy input can allow ratcheting of chemical reaction outcomes, reminiscent of the ways that molecular machines ratchet random thermal motion to bias conformational dynamics. This fundamentally distinct approach to synthesis allows multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces to be navigated, enabling reaction outcomes that cannot be achieved under conventional kinetic or thermodynamic control. In this Review, we discuss how ratcheted synthesis is ubiquitous throughout biology and consider how chemists might harness ratchet mechanisms to accelerate catalysis, drive chemical reactions uphill and programme complex reaction sequences.

Abstract
The regio- and enantio-selective dearomatization of phenols has been achieved by I(i)/I(iii) catalysis enabled fluorination. The process is highly para-selective, guiding the fluoride nucleophile to the distal C4 position of the substrate to generate fluorinated cyclohexadienones in an operationally simple manner. Extensive optimization has revealed key parameters that orchestrate enantioselectivity in this historically challenging transformation. A range of diversely substituted substrates are disclosed (20 examples, up to 92 : 8 e.r.) and the reaction displays efficiency that is competitive with the current state of the art in hydroxylation chemistry: this provides a preparative platform to enable OH to F bioisosterism to be explored. Finally, the utility of the products in accessing densely functionalized cyclic scaffolds with five contiguous stereocenters is disclosed together with crystallographic analyses to unveil fluorine-carbonyl non-covalent interactions.

Abstract
Stereochemically defined tetrasubstituted olefins are widespread structural elements of organic molecules and key intermediates in organic synthesis. However, flexible methods enabling stereodivergent access to E and Z isomers of fully substituted alkenes from a common precursor represent a significant challenge and are actively sought after in catalysis, especially those amenable to complex multifunctional molecules. Herein, we demonstrate that iterative dual-metal and energy transfer catalysis constitutes a unique platform for achieving stereodivergence in the difunctionalization of internal alkynes. The utility of this approach is showcased by the stereodivergent synthesis of both stereoisomers of tetrasubstituted β-boryl acrylates from internal alkynoates with excellent stereocontrol via sequential carboboration and photoisomerization. The reluctance of electron-deficient internal alkynes to undergo catalytic carboboration has been overcome through cooperative Cu/Pd-catalysis, whereas an Ir complex was identified as a versatile sensitizer that is able to photoisomerize the resulting sterically crowded alkenes. Mechanistic studies by means of quantum-chemical calculations, quenching experiments, and transient absorption spectroscopy have been applied to unveil the mechanism of both steps.

Abstract
We report a metallaphotoredox strategy for stereodivergent three-component carboallylation of terminal alkynes with allylic carbonates and alkyl trifluoroborates. This redox-neutral dual catalytic protocol utilizes commercially available organic photocatalyst 4CzIPN and nickel catalysts to trigger a radical addition/alkenyl-allyl coupling sequence, enabling straightforward access to functionalized 1,4-dienes in a highly chemo-, regio-selective, and stereodivergent fashion. This reaction features a broad substrate generality and a tunable triplet energy transfer control with pyrene as a simple triplet energy modulator, offering a facile synthesis of complex trans- and cis-selective skipped dienes with the same set of readily available substrates.

Abstract
Alkenylboronates are versatile building blocks for stereocontrolled synthesis owing to the traceless nature of the boron group that can be leveraged to achieve highly selective geometric isomerization. Using thioxanthone as an inexpensive photocatalyst, the photoisomerization of these species continues to provide an expansive platform for stereodivergent synthesis, particularly in the construction of bioactive polyenes. Although mechanistic investigations are consistent with light-driven energy transfer, direct experimental evidence remains conspicuously absent. Herein, we report a rigorous mechanistic investigation using two widely used alkenylboronates alongside relevant reference compounds. Through the combination of irradiation experiments, transient absorption spectroscopic studies, kinetic modeling, and DFT calculations with all isomers of the model compounds, it has been possible to unequivocally detect and characterize the perpendicular triplet generated by energy transfer. Our results serve not only as a blueprint for mechanistic studies that are challenging with organic sensitizers, but these guidelines delineated have also enabled the development of more sustainable reaction conditions: for the first time, efficient organocatalytic isomerization under sunlight irradiation has become feasible.

Abstract
The n→π* interactions describing attractive force between lone pairs (lps) of nucleophile and carbonyl or polarized unsaturated bonds have recently attracted growing attentions in various disciplines. So far, such non-covalent driving force are mainly concentrated to intramolecular systems. Intermolecular n→π* interactions in principle could produce fascinated supramolecular systems or facilitate organic reactions, however, they remain largely underexplored due to the very weak energy of individual interaction. This review attempts to give an overview of the challenging intermolecular n→π* interactions, much efforts emphasize the supramolecular systems, catalytic processes and spectroscopic measurements.

Abstract
Double n→π* interactions between one common electron donor of the carbonyl oxygen and two individual acceptor aldehyde/imine units are presented. The structural and mechanistic insights were revealed through a collection of experimental and computational evidence. The orientation and further energetic dependence of orbital interactions were facilely regulated by the size of cyclic urea scaffolds, the bulkiness of aldehydes/imines, and the flexibility of imine macrocycles.

Abstract
Towards unexplored intermolecular n→π* interactions, presented herein are the synthesis, structure, self-assembly and function of a multicarbonyl-containing macrocycle calix[2]arene[2]barbiturate 1. X-ray single crystal diffraction reveals the presence of Cl⋅⋅⋅C=O interactions in CH2 Cl2 ⊂1 host-guest complex and multiple intermolecular C=O⋅⋅⋅C=O interactions between molecules 1 in crystalline state. The intermolecular C=O⋅⋅⋅C=O interactions as attractive driving force led to unprecedented self-assembly of nanotube with diameter around 1.4 nm and inner surface engineered by aromatic rings. SEM and TEM images of the self-assembly of 1 demonstrated temperature-dependent morphologies which allows the observation of spheres at 25 °C and rods at 0 °C, respectively. XRD analysis indicated consistent hexagonal patterns in the self-assembly and single crystal lattice, indicating the nanotubes driven by C=O⋅⋅⋅C=O interactions constitute the basic structural architectures of both aggregates. The nanoscopic tubes (pores) formed in the rodlike single crystal engendering the separation of moving dyes were preliminarily investigated by a single-crystal chromatography and crystal-packed column chromatography.

Abstract
The clinical success of α,α-difluorocyclopropanes, combined with limitations in the existing synthesis portfolio, inspired the development of an operationally simple, organocatalysis-based strategy to access cis-configured derivatives with high levels of stereoselectivity (up to >20:1 cis:trans). Leveraging an I(I)/I(III)-catalysis platform in the presence of an inexpensive HF source, it has been possible to exploit disubstituted bicyclobutanes (BCBs) as masked cyclobutene equivalents for this purpose. In situ generation of this strained alkene, enabled by Brønsted acid activation, facilitates an unprecedented 4 → 3 fluorinative ring contraction, to furnish cis-α,α-difluorinated cyclopropanes in a highly stereoselective manner (up to 88% yield). Mechanistic studies are disclosed together with conformational analysis (X-ray crystallography and NMR) to validate cis-α,α-difluorocyclopropanes as isosteres of the 1,4-dicarbonyl moiety. Given the importance of this unit in biology and the foundational no → π* interactions that manifest themselves in this conformation (e.g., collagen), it is envisaged that the title motif will find application in focused molecular design.

Herein, we disclosed the contra‐thermodynamic E→Z isomerization of alkenyl silanes, according to the in situ formation of a chromophoric species, in the presence of rac‐BINAP as the catalyst. The reaction carried out in DMSO or CH3CN under irradiation at 405 nm allowed the interconversion of the E‐isomers into the Z‐congeners in good to excellent yields and outstanding Z/E selectivities, on 18 examples. Finally, the mechanism of this E→Z isomerization was studied to get insight into the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Carbazolyl dicyanobenzene (CDCB) derivates exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) have shown themselves to be excellent photocatalysts over recent years, particularly 4CzIPN, although investigation into organic TADF compounds as photocatalysts outside of the CDCB group has been limited. Herein, we report an alternative donor-acceptor TADF structure, 9,9'-(sulfonylbis(pyrimidine-5,2-diyl))bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole), pDTCz-DPmS, for use as a photocatalyst (PC). A comparison of the electrochemical and photophysical properties of pDTCz-DPmS with 4CzIPN in a range of solvents identifies the former as a better ground state reducing agent and photoreductant, while both exhibit similar oxidation capabilities in the ground and excited state. The increased conjugation of pDTCz-DPmS relative to 4CzIPN presents a more intense CT band in the UV-vis absorption spectrum, aiding in the light absorption of this molecule. Prompt and delayed emission lifetimes are observed for pDTCz-DPmS, confirming the TADF nature, both of which are sufficiently long-lived to participate in productive photochemistry. These combined properties make pDTCz-DPmS useful in photocatalysis reactions, covering a range of photoredox oxidative and reductive quenching reactions, as well as those involving a dual Ni(II) cocatalyst, alongside energy transfer processes. The higher triplet energy and increased photostability of pDTCz-DPmS compared with 4CzIPN were found to be advantages of this organic PC.

Abstract
While asymmetric synthesis has been established as a powerful synthetic tool for the construction of versatile enantioenriched molecules in the most efficient and practical manner, the resolution of racemates is still the most universal industrial approach to the synthesis of chiral compounds. However, the direct formation of enantiopure Z-isomers through the catalytic nonenzymatic kinetic resolution of racemic E-alkenes remains challenging. Herein, we disclose an unprecedented enantioselective E → Z isomerization mediated by a photoexcited chiral copper complex. This catalytic system enables kinetic resolution of 2-styrylpyrrolidines. This process is difficult to realize under thermal conditions. Mechanistic experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that different overall sensitization rates of the substrate-catalyst complex of the two enantiomers led to the observed excellent kinetic resolution efficiency. This photochemical transformation expands the potential of kinetic resolution beyond their established ground-state reactivity, furnishing a novel reaction mode for enantioselective catalysis at its excited state.

Abstract
Photoredox/transition-metal dual catalysis could efficiently construct C-N bonds by a cross-coupling reaction. The limitations of low recovery, low utilization rate and high cost have hindered the application and development of low-cost and efficient transition metal catalytic cycles. The integration of heterogeneous metal and transition metal catalysis is an appealing alternative to realize the oxidation state modulation of active species. With the support of density functional theory (DFT) calculation, we have explored the mechanistic details of Ni-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling of aryl bromide and cyclic amine assisted by zinc powder. Zinc successfully regulates the oxidation state of NiII → NiI, thus achieving the NiI-NiIII-NiI catalytic cycle in the absence of light. In comparison, when the Ni(0) complex is employed as the initial catalyst, organic zinc reagents can still be involved in the transmetalation process to accelerate the cross-coupling reaction. We hope that such computational studies can provide theoretical reference for the design and development of low-cost and efficient catalytic systems for C-N cross-couplings.
