Abstract
Carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complexes of gold, silver, and copper have been studied extensively for their photochemical/photocatalytic properties and as potential (pre-)catalysts in organic synthesis. Herein, the design, synthesis, and characterization of five bench-stable Au-, Ag-, and Cu-NHC complexes bearing the benzotriazolyl anion as an amide donor, are reported. All complexes are synthesized in a facile and straightforward manner, using mild conditions. The catalytic activity of the Ag and Cu complexes was studied in propargylamide cycloisomerization and carbonyl hydrosilylation reactions. Both CMA-catalyzed transformations proceed under mild conditions and are highly efficient for a range of propargylamides and carbonyl compounds, respectively, affording the desired corresponding products in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
In gold(I) catalysis, the activation of Au(I) chloride catalysts via chloride abstraction and noncovalent interactions has become a research focus in organometallic catalysis. In this work, taking halogen bond donors (C4H2INO2, C6F5I, C8H9O2I) as activators for a Au(I) chloride catalyst (Ph3PAuCl), the mechanism of the cyclization reaction of propargylic amide was investigated. It was found that there are two activation modes as design principles to obtain the catalytically active species Ph3PAu+: the halogen bond donors activate the Cl atoms of Ph3PAuCl to form X-I⋯Cl (X = C, N) classical halogen bonds and activate the Au atoms of Ph3PAuCl to form X-I⋯Au (X = C, N) metal-involved halogen bonds. For the two activation modes, the mechanism of the cyclization reaction of propargylic amide has pathways: the chloride abstraction process of the first step and the 5-exo/6-endo cyclization process of the second step. Both activation modes show good activity for the cyclization reaction with the activation ability of classical halogen bonds being slightly stronger than that of the metal-involved halogen bonds, which is consistent with the strength of the X-I⋯Cl halogen bonds being slightly stronger than that of the X-I⋯Au halogen bonds. Therefore, both metal-involved halogen bonds and classical halogen bonds have important development prospects for the activation of catalysts in gold(I) catalysis.

Abstract
A visible-light photocatalytic regioselective difunctionalization of alkenes with diazo compounds and tert-butyl nitrite has been developed. The protocol provides an efficient approach to γ-oximino esters under mild conditions. Significantly, this transformation not only shows the good compatibility of nucleophilic diazo compounds and electrophilic tert-butyl nitrite but also displays diazo compounds generating alkyl radicals that preferred addition to alkenes over nitroso radicals.

Abstract
Visible-light-induced 1,6-enyne-triggered C-Br bond homolysis of bromomalonates has been developed. This transition-metal-free, photocatalyst-free, and oxidant- and additive-free protocol affords an efficient approach for divergent synthesis of carbonylated and hydroxylated benzofurans from 1,6-enynes and bromomalonates under mild conditions. Significantly, mechanistic studies reveal that the homolysis of C-Br bonds appears to experience an energy-transfer pathway, and the atom-transfer radical addition products are the key intermediates to generate carbonylated and hydroxylated benzofurans.

Abstract
The reactivity of vinyl epoxides/oxetanes/cyclopropanes toward arynes has been demonstrated under mild conditions to give the corresponding phenanthrenes in moderate to good yields. This transition-metal-free cascade process involves a series of Diels-Alder reaction, ring-opening aromatization, and ene reaction. Various functionalized phenanthrenes could be synthesized utilizing the versatile hydroxy group. Interestingly, vinyl epoxides/oxiranes experience preferentially the Diels-Alder reaction toward arynes over nucleophilic attack of epoxides/oxiranes.
