Abstract
A photocatalytic radical cascade with an unusual endo-trig cyclization was developed, which enables the efficient assembly of divergent tricyclic diterpenoid frameworks. The first total synthesis of abietane 10-epi-epoxyhinoliol was thus achieved in six steps by a subsequent reductive coupling of i-PrBr under photoredox/nickel dual catalysis. Inhibitory tests of chiral 10-epi-epoxyhinoliol and its analogues in 4T1 cancer cells demonstrated the critical role of the C12 hydroxyl group, leading to a discovery of the simplified analogue with better activity.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed reductive tandem cyclization of the elaborated β-bromo acetal with a dibenzoxepin scaffold was invented to strategically construct the remaining two rings in linoxepin. The generated diasterodivergent intermediates could be easily converted to both enantiomers of this unique cyclolignan molecule via facile oxidations, thus realizing enantiodivergent total synthesis of linoxepin for the first time.

Abstract
ConspectusEfficient construction of ubiquitous carbon-carbon bonds between two electrophiles has garnered interest in recent decades, particularly if it is mediated by nonprecious, first-row transition metals. Reductive coupling has advantages over traditional cross-coupling by obviating the need for stoichiometric air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents. By harnessing transition metal-catalyzed reductive coupling as a powerful tool, intricate molecular architectures can be readily assembled through the installation of two C-C bonds across π systems (alkenes/alkynes) via reaction with two appropriate electrophiles. Despite advances in reductive alkene difunctionalization, there remains significant potential for the discovery of novel reaction pathways. In this regard, development of reductive protocols that enable the union of challenging alkyl/alkynyl electrophiles in high regio- and chemoselectivity remains a highly sought-after goal.Apart from π-bond functionalization, reductive coupling has found application in carbohydrate chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of valuable C-glycosyl compounds. In this vein, suitable glycosyl donors can be used to generate reactive glycosyl radical intermediates under reductive conditions. Through elaborately designed reactions, these intermediates can be trapped to furnish pharmaceutically relevant glycoconjugates. Consequently, diversification in C-glycosyl compound synthesis using first-row transition metal catalysis holds strong appeal.In this Account, we summarize our efforts in the development of first-row transition metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions for applications in alkene/alkyne functionalization and C-glycosylation. We will first discuss the nickel (Ni)-catalyzed reductive difunctionalization of alkenes, aided by an 8-aminoquinoline (AQ) directing auxiliary. Next, we highlight the Ni-catalyzed hydroalkylation of alkenyl amides tethered with a similar AQ-derived directing auxiliary. Lastly, we discuss an efficient synthesis of 1,3-enynes involving site- and stereoselective reductive coupling of terminal alkynes with alkynyl halides and NHPI esters.Beyond alkene dicarbofunctionalization, we extended the paradigm of transition metal-catalyzed reductive coupling toward the construction of C-glycosidic linkages in carbohydrates. By employing an earth-abundant iron (Fe)-based catalyst, we show that useful glycosyl radicals can be generated from glycosyl chlorides under reductive conditions. These intermediates can be captured in C-C bond formation to furnish valuable C-aryl, C-alkenyl, and C-alkynyl glycosyl compounds with high diastereoselectivity. Our Ni-catalyzed multicomponent union of glycosyl chlorides, aryl/alkyl iodides, and isobutyl chloroformate under reductive conditions led to the stereoselective synthesis of C-acyl glycosides. In addition to Fe and Ni, we discovered a Ti-catalyzed/Mn-promoted synthetic route to access C-alkyl and C-alkenyl glycosyl compounds, through the reaction of glycosyl chlorides with electron-deficient alkenes/alkynes. We further developed an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) photoactivation system leveraging decarboxylative and deaminative strategies for C-glycosylation under Ni catalysis. This approach has been demonstrated to selectively activate carboxyl and amino motifs to furnish glycopeptide conjugates. Finally, through two distinct catalytic transformations of bench-stable heteroaryl glycosyl sulfones, we achieved stereodivergent access to both α- and β-anomers of C-aryl glycosides, one of which involves a Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling with aryl iodides.The findings presented in this Account are anticipated to have far-reaching implications beyond our research. We foresee that these results will pave the way for new transformations founded on the concept of reductive coupling, leading to the discovery of novel applications in the future.

Abstract
ConspectusNickel-catalyzed reactions of alkyl alcohol derivatives leverage the high prevalence of hydroxyl groups in natural products, medicinal agents, and synthetic intermediates to provide access to C(sp3)-rich frameworks. This Account describes our laboratory's development of stereospecific and stereoconvergent C-C bond forming reactions employing C(sp3)-O and C(sp3)-N electrophiles. In the context of development of new transformations, we also define fundamental characteristics of the nickel catalysts.Part I details the nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions developed by our group which hinges on stereospecific formation of stable π-benzyl intermediates. Acyclic and cyclic ethers, esters, carbamates, lactones, and sulfonamides undergo Kumada-, Suzuki-, and Negishi-type coupling reactions to produce enantioenriched products with high fidelity of stereochemical information. We describe extension to include ring-opening reactions of saturated heterocycles to afford acyclic 1,3-fragments in high diastereomeric ratios. We also describe our advances in stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions. Tethered C-O and C-X electrophiles proved fruitful for construction of a variety of carbocyclic frameworks. We report an intramolecular cross-electrophile coupling of benzylic pivalates with aryl bromides for the synthesis of indanes and tetralins. We found that 4-halotetrahydropyrans and 4-halopiperidines readily undergo stereospecific ring contraction to afford substituted cyclopropanes. Mechanistic investigations are consistent with closed-shell intermediates, a Ni(0)/Ni(II) cycle, and an intramolecular SN2-type reaction of a key organonickel intermediate to form the cyclopropane. Building toward more complex cascade reactions, we have demonstrated that 2-alkynyl piperidines incorporate MeMgI in a dicarbofunctionalization of the alkyne to afford highly substituted vinyl cyclopropanes.In Part II we present our development of stereoconvergent reactions of alkyl alcohol derivatives. In order to expand the utility of the intramolecular XEC reaction, we sought to employ unactivated alkyl electrophiles. Specifically, alkyl dimesylates engage in intramolecular XEC reactions to form alkyl cyclopropanes. In contrast to our previous work, these reactions proceed through open-shell intermediates and favor stereoconvergent formation of the trans-cyclopropane. Enantioselective aldol reactions can be employed in syntheses of 1,3-diols which furnish enantioenriched cyclopropanes in high ee. Experimental and computational evidence reveals that MeMgI mediates formation of alkyl iodides in situ. The coupling reaction initiates with halogen atom abstraction at the secondary alkyl iodide. The alkyl Ni(II) complex then proceeds through a stereospecific SN2-type ring closure to form cyclopropane. In an effort to increase functional group compatibility in the synthesis of cyclopropanes from alkyl dimesylates we developed a zinc-mediated reaction of 1,3-dimesylates prepared from medicinal analogues. In challenging nickel-catalyzed intramolecular cross-electrophile coupling we were also able to show that vicinal carbocycles can be prepared under similar conditions, affording vicinal cyclopentyl-cyclopropyl motifs in high yield.In Part III we discuss our recent findings on the role of ligand identity in catalyst selectivity for stereospecific vs stereoablative mechanisms for oxidative addition. We demonstrate multivariable control of mechanism, where the choice of substrate and ligand work together to promote open- or closed-shell intermediates. In divergent reactions of 4-halotetrahydropyrans we observe distinct ligand preference for reactions at the C(sp3)-O center or the C(sp3)-Cl center. These findings are the source of continued investigations in our laboratory.

Abstract
ConspectusThe use of quaternary stereocenters during lead candidate optimization continues to grow because of improved physiochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles of compounds with higher sp3 fraction. Pd-catalyzed redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization involving carbopalladation of alkenes followed by nucleophilic-trapping σ-alkyl-palladium intermediates has been developed as an efficient method to construct quaternary stereocenters. However, the low chemoselectivity and air sensitivity of organometallic nucleophiles, as well as their low availability and accessibility, limit the scope of application of this elegant strategy. Recently, Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling has evolved into a privileged strategy to easily construct valuable C(sp3)-C bonds. Despite great progress, the enantioselective coupling of C(sp3) electrophiles still relies on activated or functionalized alkyl precursors, which are often unstable and require multiple steps to prepare. Therefore, Ni-catalyzed reductive difunctionalization of alkenes via selective cyclization/cross-coupling was developed. This strategy not only offers a robust and practical alternative for traditional redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization but also provides strategic complementarity for reductive cross-coupling of activated alkyl electrophiles. In this Account, we summarize the latest results from our laboratory on this topic. These findings mainly include our explorations in modulating the enantioselectivity and cyclization mode of reductive cyclization/cross-couplings.We will first discuss Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reductive cyclization/cross-coupling to construct valuable chiral heterocycles with quaternary stereocenters and focus on the effects of ligands, reductants, and additives and their roles in reductive cross-coupling. A wide range of electrophiles have been explored, including aryl halides, vinyl halides, alkynyl halides, gem-difluoroalkenes, CO2, trifluoromethyl alkenes, and cyano electrophiles. The synthetic potential of this approach has also been demonstrated in the synthesis of biologically active natural products and drug molecules. Second, we will detail how to tune the steric effects of nickel catalysts by modifying bipyridine ligands for regiodivergent cyclization/cross-couplings. Specifically, the use of bidentate ligands favors exo-selective cyclization/cross-coupling, while the use of a carboxylic acid-modified bipyridine ligand permits endo-selective cyclization/cross-coupling. We will also show how to activate the amide substrate by altering the electronic and steric properties of substituents on the nitrogen, thereby enabling the nucleophilic addition of aryl halides to amide carbonyls. Further investigation of ligand properties has led to tunable cyclization/cross-couplings (addition to the amide carbonyl vs 7-endo-cyclization) for the divergent synthesis of pharmacologically important 2-benzazepine frameworks. Finally, we serendipitously discover that modifying the ligands of nickel catalysts and changing the oxidation state of nickel can control the migratory aptitude of different groups, thus providing a switchable skeletal rearrangement strategy. This transformation is of high synthetic value because it represents a conceptually unprecedented new approach to C-C bond activation. Thus, this Account not only summarizes synthetic methods that allow the formation of valuable chiral heterocycles with quaternary stereocenters using a wide variety of electrophiles but also provides insight into the relationship between ligand structure, substrate, and cyclization selectivity.

Abstract
Carbonyl-containing oxindoles are ubiquitous core structures present in many biologically active natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. Nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-acylation of alkenes using aryl anhydrides or alkanoyl chlorides as acyl sources is developed, providing 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ketone functionality at the 3-position. Moreover, nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-esterification of alkenes using chloroformate as ester sources is further developed, affording 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ester functionality at the 3-position. This strategy has the advantages of good yields and high functional group compatibility.

Abstract
We report a Cu(II)-catalyzed cyclization/coupling of alkenyl aldimines with arylzinc reagents to create indole-3-diarylmethane derivatives (Sapkota et al. ChemRxiv 2022, DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2022-d6qn). The current reaction provides a unified modular route from readily available starting materials to indole-3-diarylmethanes in which all three arene cores can be decorated with differential functional substitutions on demand. Since the cyclization/coupling of alkenyl aldimines is unknown to date, the current method widens the scope with regard to both the substrate and product diversity for this class of reaction.

Abstract
The first total synthesis of (+)-adunctin C (ent-1) and (+)-adunctin D (2), two monoterpene-substitued dihydrochalcones isolated from Piper aduncum (Piperaceae), was achieved. A regioselective oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition of acylphloroglucinol with (-)-β-phellandrene was developed to construct their unique spirobenzofuran skeleton. The absolute configurations of natural adunctins 1 and 2 were thus assigned through these endeavors.

Abstract
As alcohols are ubiquitous throughout chemical science, this functional group represents a highly attractive starting material for forging new C-C bonds. Here, we demonstrate that the combination of anodic preparation of the alkoxy triphenylphosphonium ion and nickel-catalyzed cathodic reductive cross-coupling provides an efficient method to construct C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonds, in which free alcohols and aryl bromides-both readily available chemicals-can be directly used as coupling partners. This nickel-catalyzed paired electrolysis reaction features a broad substrate scope bearing a wide gamut of functionalities, which was illustrated by the late-stage arylation of several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Catalytic alkene difunctionalization is a powerful strategy for the rapid assembly of complex molecules and has wide range of applications in synthetic chemistry. Despite significant progress, a compelling challenge that still needs to be solved is the installation of highly functionalized C(sp3 )-hybridized centers without requiring pre-activated substrates. We herein report that inexpensive and easy-to-synthesize decatungstate photo-HAT, in combination with nickel catalysis, provides a versatile platform for three-component alkene difunctionalization through direct and selective activation of aliphatic C-H bonds. Compared with previous studies, the significant advantages of this strategy are that the most abundant hydrocarbons are used as feedstocks, and various highly functionalized tertiary, secondary, and primary C(sp3 )-hybrid centers can be easily installed. The practicability of this strategy is demonstrated in the selective late-stage functionalization of natural products and the concise synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant molecules including Piragliatin.

Abstract
Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reactions have emerged as powerful methods to join two electrophiles. These reactions have proven particularly useful for the coupling of sec-alkyl electrophiles to form stereogenic centers; however, the development of enantioselective variants remains challenging. In this Perspective, we summarize the progress that has been made toward Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reductive cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
1,2-Dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes has emerged as an efficient synthetic strategy for preparing substituted molecules by coupling readily available alkenes with electrophiles and/or nucleophiles. Nickel complexes serve as effective catalysts owing to their tendency to undergo facile oxidative addition and slow β-hydride elimination, and their capability to access both two-electron and radical pathways. Two-component alkene functionalization reactions have achieved high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities by tethering one of the coupling partners to the alkene substrate. Three-component reactions, however, often incorporate directing groups to control the selectivity. Only a few examples of directing-group-free difunctionalizations of unactivated alkenes have been reported. Therefore, great opportunities exist for the development of three-component difunctionalization reactions with broad substrate scopes and tunable chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities.

Abstract
We report a three-component olefin reductive dicarbofunctionalization for constructing alkylborates, specifically, nickel-catalyzed reductive dialkylation and alkylarylation of vinyl boronates with a variety of alkyl bromides and aryl iodides. This reaction exhibits good coupling efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility, providing convenient access to the late-stage modification of complex natural products and drug molecules. Combined with alkylborate transformations, this reaction could also find applications in the modular and convergent synthesis of complex compounds.

Abstract
Recently, transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric dicarbofunctionalization of tethered alkenes has emerged as a powerful method for construction of chiral cyclic carbo- and heterocycles. However, all these reactions rely on facially selective arylmetalation of the pendant olefinic unit. Here, we successfully apply acylnickelation as the enantiodetermining step in the asymmetric nickel-catalyzed reductive carbo-acylation of aryl carbamic chloride-tethered alkenes with primary and secondary alkyl iodides as well as benzyl chlorides as the coupling partners, using manganese as a reducing agent. By circumventing the use of pre-generated organometallics, this reductive strategy enables the synthesis of diverse enantioenriched oxindoles bearing a quaternary stereogenic center under mild reaction conditions with high tolerance of a broad range of functional moieties.

Reported is a nickel-catalyzed reductive arylalkylation of unactivated alkenes tethered to aryl iodides with redox active N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as the alkyl source through successful merging of migratory insertion and decarboxylative cross-coupling in a cascade. This new method avoids the use of pregenerated organometallic reagents and thus enables the synthesis of diverse benzene-fused carbo- and heterocyclic compounds with high tolerance of a wide range of functional groups.

Abstract
Enantioselective cross-electrophile reactions remain a challenging subject in metal catalysis, and with respect to data, studies have mainly focused on stereoconvergent reactions of racemic alkyl electrophiles. Here, we report an enantioselective cross-electrophile aryl-alkenylation reaction of unactivated alkenes. This method provides access to a number of biologically important chiral molecules such as dihydrobenzofurans, indolines, and indanes. The incorporated alkenyl group is suitable for further reactions that can lead to an increase in molecular diversity and complexity. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions at room temperature, and an easily accessible chiral pyrox ligand is used to afford products with high enantioselectivity. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by enabling the modification of complex molecules such as peptides, indometacin, and steroids.

Abstract
In this protocol Ni-catalysed reductive arylalkylation of unactivated alkenes tethered to aryl bromides with primary alkyl bromides has been accomplished, providing a new path to construct diverse benzene-fused carbo- and heterocyclic cores including indanes, tetrahydroisoquinolines, indolines and isochromanes. Notably, this new method circumvents the pregeneration of organometallics and demonstrates high tolerance to a wide range of functional groups. The preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest a reaction pathway with an intermediate reduction.

Abstract
Two series of andrographolide derivatives with nitrogen-containing heterocycles, phenols and aromatic acids as bioisostere moiety of lactone ring were synthesized. 8 from 18 tested compounds showed stronger inhibitory effect on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage than hydrocortisone. Among them, compound 8m exhibited the most potent inhibition with IC50 of 3.38 ± 1.03 μM. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) suggested that the replacement of lactone ring with small-molecule phenols could improve the anti-inflammatory efficacy. Furthermore, compound 8m significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and IL-6 with no influence on cell survival, decreased the expression of iNOS and COX-2, and down-regulated the level and phosphorylation of IκBα, as well as the expression of NF-κB. Also it blocked the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in LPS-induced macrophage. Therefore, the anti-inflammation mechanism of compound 8m was related to the inhibition of COX-2, iNOS and NF-κB signal pathway.

Abstract
Transition metal (TM)-catalyzed difunctionalization of unactivated olefins with two carbon-based entities is a powerful method to construct complex molecular architectures rapidly from simple and readily available feedstock chemicals. While dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated olefins has a long history typically with the use of either carbon monoxide to intercept C(sp3 )-[M] (alkyl-TM) species or substrates lacking in β-hydrogen (β-Hs), development of this class of reaction still remains seriously limited due to complications of β-H elimination arising from the in situ-generated C(sp3 )-[M] intermediates. Over the years, different approaches have been harnessed to suppress β-H elimination, which have led to the development of various types of olefin dicarbofunctionalization reactions even in substrates that generate C(sp3 )-[M] intermediates bearing β-Hs with a wide range of electrophiles and nucleophiles. In this review, these developments will be discussed both through the lens of historical perspectives as well as the strategies scrutinized over the years to address the issue of β-H elimination. However, this review article by no means is designed to be exhaustive in the field, and is merely presented to provide the readers an overview of the key reaction developments.
