Abstract
ConspectusAlkenes and alkynes are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis due to their commercial availability, bench-stability, and easy preparation. Selective functionalization of alkenes and alkynes is a crucial step for the synthesis of value-added compounds. Precise control over these reactions allows efficient construction of complex molecules with new functionalities. In recent decades, second- and third-row precious transition metal catalysts (palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium) have been pivotal in the development of metal-catalyzed synthetic methodology. These metals exhibit excellent catalytic activity and selectivity, enabling efficient synthesis of functionalized organic molecules. However, recovery and reuse of precious metals have long been a challenge in this field. In recent years, exploration of earth-abundant metal-catalyzed organic reactions has interested both academic and industrial researchers. The development of such catalytic systems offers a promising approach to overcome the limitations of precious metal catalysts. For example, manganese is the third most naturally abundant transition metal with minimal toxicity and excellent biocompatibility. It exhibits good catalytic activity in several organic reactions, including C-H bond functionalization, selective reduction, and radical reactions. This Account outlines our recent progress in dinuclear manganese catalysis for selective functionalization of alkenes and alkynes. We have established the elementary manganese(I)-catalysis in transmetalation with R-B(OH)2. This finding has enabled us to apply the catalyst for the selective 1,2-difunctionalization of structurally diverse alkenes and alkynes. Mechanistic studies suggest a double manganese center synergistic activation model, as superior to Mn(CO)5Br in some cases. In addition, we have developed a ligand-tuned metalloradical strategy of dinuclear manganese catalysts (Mn2(CO)10), bridging the gap between the organometallics and radical chemistry, highlighting the unique radical functionalization of alkenes. Interestingly, using the same starting materials, different ligands can deliver completely different products. Meanwhile, a cooperative catalysis strategy involving manganese and other catalysts (e.g., cobalt, iminium) has also been developed and is briefly discussed. For manganese/iminium synergistic catalysis, a new mechanism for migratory insertion and demetalization-isomerization in synergistic HOMO-LUMO activation was disclosed. This strategy expands the application of low-valent manganese catalysts for enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions. New reaction discovery is outpacing mechanism studies for dinuclear manganese catalysis, and future studies with time-resolved spectroscopy will improve understanding of the mechanism. Based on these intriguing findings, the precise functionalization of alkenes and alkynes by dinuclear manganese catalysts will expedite a novel activation model to enable late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.

Abstract
For traditional metal complexes, intricate chemistry is required to acquire appropriate ligands for controlling the electron and steric hindrance of metal active centers. Comparatively, the preparation of single-atom catalysts is much easier with more straightforward and effective accesses for the arrangement and control of metal active centers. The presence of coordination atoms or neighboring functional atoms on the supports' surface ensures the stability of metal single-atoms and their interactions with individual metal atoms substantially regulate the performance of metal active centers. Therefore, the collaborative interaction between metal and the surrounding coordination environment enhances the initiation of reaction substrates and the formation and transformation of crucial intermediate compounds, which imparts single-atom catalysts with significant catalytic efficacy, rendering them a valuable framework for investigating the correlation between structure and activity, as well as the reaction mechanism of catalysts in organic reactions. Herein, comprehensive overviews of the coordination interaction for both homogeneous metal complexes and single-atom catalysts in organic reactions are provided. Additionally, reflective conjectures about the advancement of single-atom catalysts in organic synthesis are also proposed to present as a reference for later development.

Abstract
Cyclopropanes are among the most important structural units in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Herein, we report a manganese-catalyzed cyclopropanation of allylic alcohols with sulfones as carbene alternative precursors via a borrowing hydrogen strategy under mild conditions. Various allylic alcohols and arylmethyl trifluoromethyl sulfones work efficiently in this borrowing hydrogen transformation and thereby deliver the corresponding cyclopropylmethanol products in 58% to 99% yields. Importantly, a major benefit of this transformation is that the versatile free alcohol moiety is retained in the resultant products, which can undergo a wide range of downstream transformations to provide access to a series of functional molecules. Mechanistic studies support a sequential reaction mechanism that involves catalytic dehydrogenation, Michael addition, cyclization, and catalytic hydrogenation.

Abstract
Stereocontrolled oxa-Michael additions are challenging, given the high reversibility of the process, which ultimately leads to racemization of the newly formed stereocenters. When iron-catalyzed borrowing hydrogen from allylic alcohols was combined with a stereocontrolled organocatalytic oxa-Michael addition, a wide array of chiral tetrahydropyrans were efficiently prepared. The reaction could be performed in a diastereoselective manner from pre-existing stereocenters or enantioselectively from achiral substrates. The key to success was the reactivity of the iron complex, which was selective for allylic alcohol dehydrogenation and irreversibly led the reaction to the final product.

Abstract
Alcohol is ubiquitous with unparalleled structural diversity and thus has wide applications as a native functional group in organic synthesis. It is highly prevalent among biomolecules and offers promising opportunities for the development of chemical libraries. Over the last decade, alcohol has been extensively used as an environmentally friendly chemical for numerous organic transformations. In this review, we collectively discuss the utilisation of alcohol from 2015 to 2023 in various organic transformations and their application toward intermediates of drugs, drug derivatives and natural product-like molecules. Notable features discussed are as follows: (i) sustainable approaches for C-X alkylation (X = C, N, or O) including O-phosphorylation of alcohols, (ii) newer strategies using methanol as a methylating reagent, (iii) allylation of alkenes and alkynes including allylic trifluoromethylations, (iv) alkenylation of N-heterocycles, ketones, sulfones, and ylides towards the synthesis of drug-like molecules, (v) cyclisation and annulation to pharmaceutically active molecules, and (vi) coupling of alcohols with aryl halides or triflates, aryl cyanide and olefins to access drug-like molecules. We summarise the synthesis of over 100 drugs via several approaches, where alcohol was used as one of the potential coupling partners. Additionally, a library of molecules consisting over 60 fatty acids or steroid motifs is documented for late-stage functionalisation including the challenges and opportunities for harnessing alcohols as renewable resources.

Abstract
Mn(I)-catalyzed enantioselective C-C bond-forming reactions represent a great challenge in homogeneous catalysis primarily due to a limited understanding of its mechanistic principles. Herein, we have developed an interesting catalytic strategy that leverages a synergistic combination of a dimeric manganese(I) catalyst and a chiral aminocatalyst to address this issue. A range of conjugated dienals and trienals can exclusively proceed 1,4-hydroalkenylation by using readily available aromatic and aliphatic alkenyl boronic acids as coupling partners, producing a rich library of skipped diene aldehydes in synthetically useful yields and high levels of enantioselectivities. Notably, downstream transformations of these products can not only afford a concise approach to construct enantioenriched skipped trienes but also realize enantioselective total synthesis of analogues to (-)-Blepharocalyxin D in four steps. DFT calculations suggest the 1,4-hydroalkenylation is kinetically more favorable than 1,6-hydroalkenylation.

Abstract
Chirality transfer for natural chiral biomolecules can reveal the indispensable role of chiral structures in life and can be used to develop the chirality-sensing biomolecular recognition. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of achiral supramolecular organic frameworks (SOF-1, SOF-2, and SOF-3), constructed from cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives (1, 2, and 3), respectively, as chirality-sensing platforms to explore their chirality transfer mechanism for peptides in water. Given the right-handed (P) and left-handed (M) rotational conformation of TPE units and the selective binding of CB[8] to aromatic amino acids, these achiral SOFs can be selectively triggered in water by peptides containing N-terminal tryptophan (W) and phenylalanine (F) residues into their P- or M-rotational conformation, exhibiting significantly different circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Although various peptides have the same l-type chiral configuration, they can induce positive CD signals of SOF-1 and negative CD signals of SOF-2 and SOF-3, respectively. Based on the structural analysis of the linkage units between CB[8] and TPE units in these SOFs, a "gear-driven"-type chirality transfer mechanism has been proposed to visually illustrate the multiple-step chirality transfer process from the recognition site in the CB[8]'s cavity to TPE units. Furthermore, by utilizing the characteristic CD signals generated through the "gear-driven"-type chirality transfer, these SOFs can serve as chiroptical sensor arrays to effectively recognize and distinguish various peptides based on their distinctive CD spectra.

Abstract
Chiral induction by natural biomolecules can reveal the indispensable role of chiral structures in life and can be used to develop the chirality-sensing biomolecular recognition. Here, we present the synthesis and characterization of an achiral supramolecular organic framework (SOF-1) constructed from cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) derivative (1) in water. Due to the propeller-like rotational chiral conformation of HPB units and the specific recognition properties of CB[8], SOF-1 demonstrates chiral adaptive induction in water when interacting with the N-terminal Trp-/Phe-containing dipeptides including L-TrpX and L-PheX (X is an amino acid residue), respectively, exhibiting contrasting circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectra. Consequently, SOF-1 has been developed as a supramolecular host and chiroptical sensor capable of recognizing and distinguishing the sequence-opposite Trp-/Phe-containing dipeptide pairs including L-TrpX/L-XTrp and L-PheX/L-XPhe based on the sequence-selective CD responses.

Abstract
Despite the extensive applications, selective and diverse access to N,N'-diarylethane-1,2-diamines remains, to date, a challenge. Here, by developing a bifunctional cobalt single-atom catalyst (CoSA-N/NC), we present a general method for direct synthesis of such compounds via selective reductive coupling of cheap and abundant nitroarenes and formaldehyde, featuring good substrate and functionality compatibility, an easily accessible base metal catalyst with excellent reusability, and high step and atom efficiency. Mechanistic studies reveal that the N-anchored cobalt single atoms (CoN4) serve as the catalytically active sites for the reduction processes, the N-doped carbon support enriches the HCHO to timely trap the in situ formed hydroxyamines and affords the requisite nitrones under weak alkaline conditions, and the subsequent inverse electron demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrones and imines followed by hydrodeoxygenation of the cycloadducts furnishes the products. In this work, the concept of catalyst-controlled nitroarene reduction to in situ create specific building blocks is anticipated to develop more useful chemical transformations.

Earth-abundant transition metal catalysis has emerged as an important alternative to noble transition metal catalysis in hydrogenation reactions. However, there has been no Earth-abundant transition metal catalyzed hydrogenation of thioamides reported so far, presumably due to the poisoning of catalysts by sulfur-containing molecules. Herein, we described the first manganese-catalyzed hydrogenative desulfurization of thioamides to amines or imines. The key to success is the use of MnBr(CO)5 instead of commonly-employed pincer-manganese catalysts, together with simple NEt3 and CuBr. This protocol features excellent selectivity on sole cleavage of the C=S bond of thioamides, in contrast to the only known Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of thioamides, and unprecedented chemo-selectivity tolerating vulnerable functional groups such as nitrile, ketone, aldehyde, ester, sulfone, nitro, olefin, alkyne and heterocycle, which are usually susceptible to common hydride-type reductive protocols.

Abstract
The introduction of urea or thiourea functionality to the macrocycle skeleton represents an alternative way to control conformational dynamics of chiral, polyamines of a figure-shaped periodical structure. Formally highly symmetrical, these macrocycles may adapt diverse conformations, depending on the nature of an amide linker and on a substitution pattern within the aromatic units. The type of heteroatom X in the N-C(═X)-N units present in each vertex of the macrocycle core constitutes the main factor determining the chiroptical properties. In contrast to the urea-containing derivatives, the electronic circular dichroism of thioureas is controlled by the chiral neighborhood closest to the chromophore. The dynamically induced exciton couplet is observed when the biphenyl chromophores are present in the macrocycle core. In the solid state, the seemingly disordered molecules may create ordered networks stabilized by intermolecular S···halogen, H···halogen, and S···H interactions. The presence of two bromine substituents in each aromatic unit in thiourea-derived trianglamine gives rise to a self-sorting phenomenon in the crystal. In solution, this particular macrocycle exists as a dynamic equimolar mixture of two conformational diastereoisomers, differing in the spatial (clockwise and counter clockwise) arrangement of the C-Br bonds. In the crystal lattice, macrocycles of a given handedness assemble into homohelical layers.

Abstract
In recent years, many manganese-based homogeneous catalytic precursors have been developed as powerful alternatives in organic synthesis. Among these, the hydrofunctionalizations of unsaturated C-C bonds correspond to outstanding ways to afford compounds with more versatile functional groups, which are commonly used as building blocks in the production of fine chemicals and feedstock for the industrial field. Herein, we present an account of the Mn-catalyzed homogeneous hydrofunctionalizations of alkenes and alkynes with the main objective of finding catalytic and mechanistic tendencies that could serve as a platform for the works to come.
