Abstract
We present a new [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between alkyl-acceptor diazoalkanes under visible light irradiation. By employing easily accessible alkyl-acceptor-type diazoalkanes or their precursor hydrazones as both 1,3-dipoles and dipolarophiles, a diverse range of pyrazoline derivatives featuring a quaternary center have been efficiently synthesized in a predictable manner, with excellent functional group tolerance and good yields. Furthermore, scale-up experiments and downstream transformations of the product were also detailed.

Abstract
New chiral targets of orientational chirality have been designed and asymmetrically synthesized by taking advantage of N-sulfinyl imine-directed nucleophilic addition/oxidation, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Orientation of single isomers has been selectively controlled by using aryl/alkynyl levers [C(sp2)-C(sp) axis] and tBuSO2- protecting group on nitrogen as proven by X-ray diffraction analysis. The key structural characteristic of resulting orientational products is shown by remote through-space blocking manner. Seventeen examples of multi-step synthesis were obtained with modest to good chemical yields and complete orientational selectivity.

Abstract
In this study, the design and asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral targets of orientational chirality were conducted by taking advantage of N-sulfinylimine-assisted nucleophilic addition and modified Sonogashira catalytic coupling systems. Orientational isomers were controlled completely using alkynyl/alkynyl levers [C(sp)-C(sp) axis] with absolute configuration assignment determined by X-ray structural analysis. The key structural element of the resulting orientational chirality is uniquely characterized by remote through-space blocking. Forty examples of multi-step synthesis were performed, with modest to good yields and excellent orientational selectivity. Several chiral orientational amino targets are attached with scaffolds of natural and medicinal products, showing potential pharmaceutical and medical applications in the future.

Abstract
Novel spiropyrazoline-indolinones (4a-t) have been synthesized successfully in neutral deep eutectic solvents by reacting 5-Cl/Br-isatin (1a-b) with aromatic ketones (2a-b) and a variety of substituted hydrazines (3a-e) in good to excellent yields. This eco-friendly straightforward synthetic protocol discloses good functional group compatibility. The conventional synthetic approach was compared with the greener route of microwave-assisted synthesis of spiropyrazolines using ethanol. This approach utilized mild reaction conditions which furnished high yields in short reaction time employing one pot two-step multicomponent. All new compounds were structurally confirmed by detailed spectroscopic analysis and density functional theory calculations. This method provides efficient access to spiropyrazole derivatives using biodegradable and green solvent.

Abstract
To date, [3 + 2] cycloadditions of diazo esters with alkynes or alkenes have been a robust tool to generate pyrazoles and pyrazolines. However, methods capable of generating donor/donor diazo species from readily available N-tosylhydrazones to furnish [3 + 2] cycloadditions, remain elusive. Herein, we describe the first visible-light-induced [3 + 2] cycloadditions of donor/donor diazo precursors with alkenes to afford pyrazoles and novel (spiro)pyrazolines bearing a quaternary center. This protocol shows a tolerable substrate scope covering versatile carbonyl compounds and alkenes. Late-stage functionalization of bioactive molecules, one-pot approach, and gram-scale synthesis have also been introduced successfully to prove the practicability. At last, mechanistic experiments and DFT studies suggested the formation of non-covalent interactions enabling the activation of N-tosylhydrazones and the formation of the donor/donor diazo intermediates.

Abstract
Herein, the enantioselective synthesis of complex tricyclo[3.2.2.0]nonenes through the Diels-Alder reaction is reported. Utilizing racemic norcaradienes prepared from the visible-light-mediated dearomative cyclopropanation of m-xylene as dienes and enone derivatives as dienophiles, the overall process represents a kinetic asymmetric transformation in the presence of a chiral cobalt(ii) complex of chiral N,N'-dioxide. High diastereo- and enantioselectivity could be obtained in most cycloaddition processes and part racemization of norcaradiene is observed. The topographic steric maps of the catalysts were collected to rationalize the relationship between reactivity and enantioselectivity with the catalysts.

Abstract
A new type of chirality, orientational chirality, consisting of a tetrahedron center and a remotely anchored blocker, has been discovered. The key structural element of this chirality is characterized by multiple orientations directed by a through-space functional group. The multi-step synthesis of orientational chiral targets was conducted by taking advantage of asymmetric nucleophilic addition, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling. An unprecedented catalytic species showing a five-membered ring consisting of C (sp2)-Br-Pd-C (sp2) bonds was isolated during performing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the species structure and absolute configuration of chiral orientation products. Based on X-ray structures, a model was proposed for the new chirality phenomenon to differentiate the present molecular framework from previous others. DFT computational study presented the relative stability of individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry branch and to have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
The para-Claisen rearrangement of aryl 1-propargyl ethers involves two-step [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements and dearomatization process, which has high activation barriers and is of challenge. Here we discovered thermal para-Claisen rearrangement of naphthyl 1-propargyl ethers, and it enabled the formation of formal para-C-H propargylation products upon rearomatization. Chirality transfer occurred if optically active propargyl ethers were employed, leading to the construction of aryl/propargyl-containing stereogenic centers. Moreover, catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of naphthyl 1-propargyl ethers with different substitution at para-position gave access to benzocyclohexenones bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The reaction was accelerated by a chiral N,N'-dioxide/Co(OTf)2 complex catalyst to achieve high yields (up to 98 %) and high enantioselectivities (up to 93 % ee). The DFT calculations and experimental results provided important clues to clarify the para-Claisen rearrangement process as well as the chiral induction and remote delivery.

Abstract
The enantioselective [3 + 1]-cycloaddition of racemic donor-acceptor (D-A) aziridines with isocyanides was first realized under mild reaction conditions using a chiral N,N'-dioxide/MgII complex as catalyst, providing a facile route to enantioenriched exo-imido azetidines with good to excellent yield (up to 99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee). An obvious chiral amplification effect was observed in this system, and an explanation was elucidated based on the experimental investigation and X-ray crystal structure of the enantiomerically pure catalyst.

Abstract
α-Diazocarbonyl compounds serve as nucleophiles, dipoles, carbene precursors, and rare electrophiles, enabling a vast array of organic transformations under the influence of metal catalysts. Among them, rearrangement processes are attractive and provide straightforward and efficient accesses to one-carbon extension adducts or heteroatom-containing molecules. The reactions occur upon the release of dinitrogen after nucleophilic addition or before ylide formation. Although significant progress has been made for these two types of rearrangement reactions, the issue of enantiocontrol is challenging because the final optically enriched products are generated via multistep transformations and the inherent spacial arrangement of the intermediates has more or less influence on the regio- and enantioselectivity.In this Account, we collected several rearrangements of α-diazocarbonyl compounds, showcasing the efficient catalysts and tailored strategies for tackling enantioselective varieties of these two types of rearrangement reactions. Our research group initiated the catalytic asymmetric reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compounds during the development of chiral Feng N,N'-dioxide-metal complex catalysts and others. As a kind of useful chiral Lewis acid catalyst chiral N,N'-dioxide-metal complexes are favorable for the activation of various carbonyl compounds, accelerating the diastereo- and enantioselective nucleophilic addition of α-diazoesters and the sequential rearrangements in either an intermolecular or intramolecular manner. Aldehydes, acyclic and cyclic ketone derivatives, and α,β-unsaturated ketones could participate in efficient asymmetric homologation reactions, and an obvious ligand-acceleration effect is observed in these processes. For example, the Roskamp-Feng reaction of aldehydes gives optically active β-ketoesters through a H-shift, overwhelming the aryl group shift or oxygen attack. The shift preference and enantiocontrol in the homologation of acyclic and cyclic ketone derivatives could be under excellent control of the chiral catalysts. An unusual electrophilic α-amination of aryl/alkyl ketones and even a complicated homologation/dyotropic rearrangement/interconversion/[3 + 2] cycloaddition cascade used to construct dimeric polycyclic compounds were discovered as a result of the selection of chiral ligands and additives. On the basis of the understanding of the interaction of the functional group with N,N'-dioxide-metal complexes in catalysis and the key enantio-determining issues in ylide-based rearrangements, we designed new α-diazocarbonyl compounds by introducing a pyrazole-1-carboxyl group as the acceptor unit, which could benefit the formation of both carbenoid species and the chiral catalyst-bound ylides to deliver stereoselectivity. Taking advantage of Ni(II) or Co(II) complexes of Feng N,N'-dioxide ligands, we realized several kinds of enantioselective [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, such as the Doyle-Kirmse reaction with allylic sulfides or selenides, [2,3]-Stevens rearrangements of vinyl-substituted α-diazo pyrazoleamides with thioacetates, Sommelet-Hauser rearrangements of aryl-substituted α-diazo pyrazoleamides with thioamides, and thio-Claisen rearrangements of 2-thio-indoles as well. Moreover, this strategy was shown to be applicable to highly γ-selective and enantioselective insertion into N-H bonds of secondary amines with vinyl-substituted α-diazo pyrazoleamides.

Abstract
Orientational chirality was discovered and characterized by a C(sp)–C(sp
3
) axis-anchored chiral center and a remotely anchored blocker. X-ray structural analysis proved that orientatiomers are stabilized by through-space functional groups, making it possible for 1
R
- or
S
-chiral center to exhibit 3 orientational isomers simply by rotating operations. A new model system was proposed, fundamentally different from the traditional Felkin–Ahn-type or Cram-type models. In these traditional models, chiral C(sp
3
) center and blocking C(sp
2
) carbons are connected adjacently, and there exist 6 energy barriers during rotating along the C(sp
2
)−C(sp
3
) axis. In comparison, the present orientational chirality model shows that a chiral C(sp)–C(sp
3
) carbon is remotely located from a blocking group. Thus, it is focused on the steric dialog between a chiral C(sp
3
) center and a remotely anchored functional group. There exist 3 energy barriers for either (
R
)– or (
S
)–C(sp)–C(sp
3
) stereogenicity in the new model. Chiral amide auxiliary was proven to be an excellent chiral auxiliary in controlling rotations of orientatiomers to give complete stereoselectivity. The asymmetric synthesis of individual orientatiomers was conducted via multistep synthesis by taking advantage of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions. Density functional theory computational study presented optimized conformers and relative energies for individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry topic and have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
An enantioselective tandem Friedel-Crafts alkylation/annulation of indoles with diazoacetoacetate enones is realized in one pot. A series of dihydrocarbazoles were obtained in moderate yields with good to excellent ee values by using a RhII/ScIII dual-metallic catalyst system. Control experiments revealed that ScIII is critical to both the alkylation and annulation.

Abstract
A highly diastereo- and enantioselective allylation of isatins with 3-substituted allylboronic compounds was achieved by the chiral N,N'-dioxide/Lu(OTf)3 complex. This approach provides an efficient route to useful enantioenriched 3-allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles with adjacent tetrasubstituted tertiary or tetrasubstituted quaternary stereogenic centers. Density functional theory calculations were performed to understand the different diastereoselection between the background reaction and catalytic process. Moreover, allylation with potassium allyltrifluoroborate was accomplished by the chiral N,N'-dioxide/In(OTf)3 complex. The synthetic utility was demonstrated by further transformation of the product to a tetrahydrofuranyl oxindole derivative.
