Abstract
Methylenecyclopropanes (MCPs) have emerged as versatile building blocks in synthetic chemistry because of their unique reactivity. However, metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation of MCPs has met with very limited successes. In this paper, catalytic selective hydrosilylations of MCPs with some primary silanes using an ene-diamido lanthanum ate complex as the catalyst were described. The catalytic reactions resulted in the selective formation of silacyclopentanes and (E)-homoallylsilanes, respectively, depending on the substituents on MCPs. The formation of silacyclopentanes via a catalytic cascade inter- and intramolecular hydrosilylation mechanism is strongly supported by the control and deuteration-labeling experiments and DFT calculations. The unique reactivity and selectivity could be attributed to the large lanthanum ion and ate structure of the catalyst.

Abstract
ConspectusWell-controlled olefin insertion is critical for achieving catalytic and productive bulk and fine-chemical synthesis. Developing efficient and selective methods for meeting diverse insertion demands is extremely noteworthy, as it supports numerous transformations. The challenges are related to improving catalyst performance and selectivity control and uniting previously unreactive substrate pairs to achieve higher molecular structural complexity and utility. Nickel catalysts have received persistent attention in higher substituted olefin synthesis and polymerization, and numerous new strategies have been established to fulfill the ever-changing demands. This Account focuses on the recent progress based on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and nickel catalysts in our laboratory in using simple terminal olefins as olefin donors or acceptors.It begins with a brief history of olefin codimerization and the major advances in hydrovinylation achieved by other research groups using ethylene as an olefin donor. It then describes problems related to the reductive elimination that can occur when both the hydrometalated alkene and NHC are on the catalyst. It emphasizes the impact of NHC catalyst generation methods on the competing reactivity. Next, it explains the principal challenges and great opportunities in using our method (with α-olefins as olefin donors and alkenyl sources) to replace intermolecular reductive hydroalkenylation reactions (which require rare and more expensive alkenyl halides and boronic acids as reactants, alongside a stoichiometric amount of metallic reagents). The Account then illustrates the potential uses of our method for solving challenging organic synthesis problems using tailor-made (NHC)Ni(II) catalysts to allow redox-neutral catalytic cycles based on high chemo- and regioselective cross-insertion controls. It shows that upon optimal steric and electronic cooperation between the NHC, olefin donor, and olefin acceptor, regiodivergent insertion and convergent synthesis can be achieved easily.In the course of our work, we uncovered several unique insights into regulating (anti-)Markovnikov hydronickelation, carbonickelation, hydrocarbonation, ring closure, 1,3-allyl shift, isomerization, and catalyst regeneration under green, neutral, and mild-temperature conditions. These insights are also outlined here, along with theoretical calculations that offer additional understandings of the insertion reactivity and selectivity differences observed between the NHC and the highly related phosphorus-based Ni(II) hydride-catalyzed cross-hydroalkenylation and cycloisomerization systems.Compared to traditional olefin and cyclic structure synthesis technology, such as olefin cross-metathesis, enyne cyclization, and cross-coupling reactions, the new catalyst systems often offer previously inaccessible product structural characteristics, substrate scope, and outcomes. In particular, the method is effective for the catalytic synthesis of unsymmetrical and functionalized 1,1-disubstituted olefins (a.k.a. gem-olefins), 1,4-dienes (a.k.a. skipped dienes), conjugated dienes, endo- and exocyclic olefins, fused and spiro rings, and aromatic products. These syntheses are variously achieved by cross-hydroalkenylation, insertion-induced rearrangement, cycloadditions, and other approaches inspired by our investigations and detailed in this Account. Cross-hydroalkenylation can be achieved with high enantioselectivity by application of carefully designed and structurally flexible C1 and C2 chiral NHC ligands, yielding a pool of chiral branched alkenes and 1,4-dienes directly from simple chemical feedstocks used in industry. This Account will draw further attention to green alkenylation and the related development of redox-neutral catalytic cycles.

Abstract
We report a simple, rapid, and selective protocol for visible-light-driven generation of silyl radicals through photoredox-induced Si-C bond homolysis. Irradiating 3-silyl-1,4-cyclohexadienes with blue light in the presence of a commercially available photocatalyst smoothly generated silyl radicals bearing various substituents within 1 h, and these radicals were trapped by a broad range of alkenes to afford products in good yields. This process is also available for efficient generation of germyl radicals.
