Abstract
Computational studies for a series of low to high strain anti-Bredt alkenes suggest that those with highly twisted bridgehead double bonds and a small singlet-triplet energy gap may undergo facile stepwise [2 + 2] cycloadditions to furnish four membered rings. A selection of reaction substrates, including ethylene, acetylene, perfluoroethylene, and cyclooctyne are considered.

Abstract
Heterocyclic substrates containing a conjugated alkyne and a pendant nitrile were shown to cyclize in an overall tetradehydro-Diels-Alder reaction to give products in which the initial heterocycle bears a newly fused pyridine ring. Base-promoted tautomerization of the alkyne to its isomeric allene allows this process to occur at ambient temperature. DFT studies support many of the mechanistic interpretations of the overall results.

Abstract
Controlling selectivity of reactions is an ongoing quest in chemistry. In this work, we demonstrate reversible and selective bond formation and dissociation promoted by tip-induced reduction-oxidation reactions on a surface. Molecular rearrangements leading to different constitutional isomers are selected by the polarity and magnitude of applied voltage pulses from the tip of a combined scanning tunneling and atomic force microscope. Characterization of voltage dependence of the reactions and determination of reaction rates demonstrate selectivity in constitutional isomerization reactions and provide insight into the underlying mechanisms. With support of density functional theory calculations, we find that the energy landscape of the isomers in different charge states is important to rationalize the selectivity. Tip-induced selective single-molecule reactions increase our understanding of redox chemistry and could lead to novel molecular machines.

Abstract
Thermally induced cycloisomerization reactions of 1,6-allenynes gives α-methylene-γ-lactams via intramolecular Alder-ene reactions. The mechanism is supported by computational and deuterium labeling studies. This thermal, non-radical method enables the discovery of a hitherto unknown route that proceeds via a divergent mechanism distinct from the previous [2+2] cycloisomerization manifold.

Abstract
We have studied the reaction of allenylboronic acid pinacol ester with cyclopentadiene with experimental and computational methods. The reaction occurred efficiently with complete Diels-Alder periselectivity and regioselectivity at the proximal double bond. The concerted mechanism for the observed transformation was computed to be favored over competitive addition to the distal double bond, [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements, and stepwise radical mechanism. This unprecedented Diels-Alder reaction enables the construction of synthetically versatile boron-substituted cycloadducts.

Abstract
A transition metal- and oxidant-free visible light-photoinduced protocol for direct functionalization of 2-methylquinolines has been developed. This protocol enabled the C-H functionalization of substituted 2-methylquinolines with diacetyl or ethyl pyruvate, under environmentally friendly conditions. A mechanistic investigation based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided details about the origins of reactivity and selectivity.

Abstract
Mechanism of the addition of molecular oxygen on the dienolic form of the 2-alkylidene-1,3-cyclohexadione was investigated by quantum chemical calculations using the approximate projection method developed by Yamaguchi. The complete reaction pathway of the formation of the endoperoxide is described. The crossing between triplet and singlet potential energy surfaces has been located. A multireference complete active space self-consistent field calculation has been performed to strengthen the results.
