Abstract
A Pd-catalyzed enantioselective aminosilylation of alkenes via tandem Aza-Heck/silylation reaction under Pd/Sadphos catalysis is disclosed. A wide array of oxime esters and silicon reagents are tolerated, furnishing the chiral pyrrolines bearing one quaternary or two contiguous stereocenters in good yield with high enantioselectivity. Not only terminal alkenes but also tri-substituented internal alkenes successfully participate in the reaction, delivering vicinal stereocenters in complete diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity. DFT study is conducted to probe the reaction pathway and the origin of the enantioselectivity, which revealed that the stereoinduction arises from the weak interaction between the aromatic ring of the substrate fragment and naphthyl group in the ligand.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a copper-catalyzed intramolecular dearomative amination of indoles via a formal aza-Wacker reaction. This protocol provides an efficient method to access aza-polycyclic indoline molecules bearing exocyclic CC bonds in moderate to excellent yields in the presence of molecular oxygen as an oxidant. It is worth noting that indolin-3-ones are achieved when employing C3-non-substituted indoles as substrates.

Abstract
An iron-incorporated Zn-MOF catalyst Zn-bpydc·Fe was fabricated for the oxidative cleavage of trans-anethole to p-anisaldehyde under facile conditions, under 1 atm of O2. The Fe coordinated bipyridine serves as the catalytically active center inside the structural skeleton of Zn-MOFs. This work affords a new avenue for the mild oxidation of olefins.

Abstract
Herein, we report an unprecedented copper-catalyzed highly enantio- and diastereoselective radical oxyboration of β-substituted styrenes. The lynchpin of success is ascribed to the development of a late-stage stereomutation strategy, which enables enantioenriched cis-isomers among a couple of early-generated diastereomers to be converted into trans-isomer counterparts, thus fulfilling high diastereocontrol; while the degree of enantio-differentiation is determined by the borocupration process of the C=C bond. This reaction provides an efficient protocol to access enantioenriched trans-1,2- dioxygenation products. The value of this method has further been highlighted in a diversity of follow-up stereospecific transformations and further modifying complex molecules.

Abstract
The C-O bond is ubiquitous in biologically active molecules, pharmaceutical agents, and functional materials, thereby making it an important functional group. Consequently, the development of C-O bond-forming reactions using catalytic strategies has become an increasingly important research topic in organic synthesis because more conventional methods involving strong base and acid have many limitations. In contrast to the ionic-pathway-based methods, copper-promoted radical-mediated C-O bond formation is experiencing a surge in research interest owing to a renaissance in free-radical chemistry and photoredox catalysis. This Perspective highlights and appraises state-of-the-art techniques in this burgeoning research field. The contents are organized according to the different reaction types and working models.

Abstract
Drug design and delivery is primarily based on the hunt for new potent drug candidates and novel synthetic techniques. Recently, saturated heterocycles have gained enormous attention in medicinal chemistry as evidenced by the medicinal drugs listed in the FDA Orange Book. Therefore, the demand for novel saturated heterocyclic syntheses has increased tremendously. Transition metal (TM)-catalyzed reactions have remained the prime priority in heterocyclic syntheses for the last three decades. Nowadays, TM catalysis is well adorned by combining it with other techniques such as bio- and/or enzyme-catalyzed reactions, organocatalysis, or using two different metals in a single catalysis. This review highlights the recent developments of the transition metal-catalyzed synthesis of five-membered saturated heterocycles.

Abstract
Alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation reactions that result in carbonyl products are uncommon, and protocols that control absolute stereochemistry are rare. We report herein catalytic enantioselective alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation that directly provide enantioenriched 2-formyl saturated heterocycles under aerobic conditions. Cyclization of substituted 4-pentenylsulfonamides, catalyzed by readily available chiral copper complexes and employing molecular oxygen as both oxygen source and stoichiometric oxidant, directly provides chiral 2-formyl pyrrolidines efficiently. Reductive or oxidative workup of these aldehydes provides their respective amino alcohols or amino acids (unnatural prolines). Enantioselective synthesis of an indoline and isoquinolines is also demonstrated. Concurrently, cyclization of various alkenols under similar conditions provides 2-formyl tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines. The nature of the copper ligands, the concentration of molecular oxygen, and the reaction temperature all impact the product distribution. Chiral nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles are common components of bioactive small molecules, and these enabling technologies provide access to saturated heterocycles functionalized with ready-to-use carbonyl electrophiles.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed enantioselective functionalization of acyl radicals has so far not been realized, probably due to their relatively high reactivity, which renders the chemo- and stereocontrol challenging. Herein, we describe Cu(I)-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrizing C-O bond coupling of acyl radicals. This reaction is compatible with (hetero)aryl and alkyl aldehydes and, more importantly, displays a very broad scope of challenging alcohol substrates, such as 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-diols, 2-substituted-2-chloro-1,3-diols, 2-substituted 1,2,3-triols, 2-substituted serinols, and meso primary 1,4-diols, providing enantioenriched esters characterized by challenging acyclic tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenters. Partnered by one- or two-step follow-up transformations, this reaction provides a convenient and practical strategy for the rapid preparation of chiral C3 building blocks from readily available alcohols, particularly the industrially relevant glycerol. Mechanistic studies supported the proposed C-O bond coupling of acyl radicals.

Abstract
Organocopper(II) reagents are an unexplored frontier of copper catalysis. Despite being proposed as reactive intermediates, an understanding of the stability and reactivity of the CuII-C bond has remained elusive. Two main pathways can be considered for the cleavage mode of a CuII-C bond: homolysis and heterolysis. We recently showed how organocopper(II) reagents can react with alkenes via radical addition, a homolytic pathway. In this work, the decomposition of the complex [CuIILR]+ [L = tris(2- dimethylaminoethyl)amine, Me6tren, R = NCCH2-] in the absence and presence of an initiator (RX, X = Cl, Br) was evaluated. When no initiator was present, first-order CuII-C bond homolysis occurred producing [CuIL]+ and succinonitrile, via radical termination. When an excess of the initiator was present, a subsequent formation of [CuIILX]+ via a second-order reaction was found, which results from the reaction of [CuIL]+ with RX following homolysis. However, when Brønsted acids (R'-OH: R' = H, Me, Ph, PhCO) were present, heterolytic cleavage of the CuII-C bond produced [CuIIL(OR')]+ and MeCN. Kinetic studies were undertaken to obtain the thermal (ΔH⧧, ΔS⧧) and pressure (ΔV⧧) activation parameters and deuterium kinetic isotopic effects, which provided an understanding of the strength of the CuII-C bond and the nature of the transition state for the reactions involved. These results reveal possible reaction pathways for organocopper(II) complexes relevant to their applications as catalysts in C-C bond forming reactions.

Abstract
Regiodivergent palladium-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization reactions between diethyl malonate and 1,5-dienes bearing a triflate group at C2 are described. Use of tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite as a ligand leads to 4-exo-cyclization/functionalization to afford malonate-substituted methylene cyclobutanes. In contrast, the 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene ligand provides methylene cyclopentanes via 5-endo-cyclization/functionalization. The five-membered ring-forming reactions occur via anti-carbopalladation of the enolate nucleophile, whereas four-membered ring-forming reactions proceed through syn-4-exo-migratory insertion of the tethered alkene, followed by C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming reductive elimination from an (alkyl)Pd(II)(malonate) complex.

Abstract
The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular radical 1,2-carboamination of alkenes with readily accessible alkyl halides is an appealing strategy for producing chiral amine scaffolds. The challenge arises from the easily occurring atom transfer radical addition between alkyl halides and alkenes and the issue of enantiocontrol. We herein describe a radical alkene 1,2-carboamination with sulfoximines in a highly chemo- and enantioselective manner. The key to the success of this process is the conceptual design of a counterion/highly sterically demanded ligand coeffect to promote the ligand exchange of copper(I) with sulfoximines and forge chiral C-N bonds between alkyl radicals and the chiral copper(II) complex. The reaction covers alkenes bearing distinct electronic properties, such as aryl-, heteroaryl-, carbonyl-, and aminocarbonyl-substituted ones, and various radical precursors, including alkyl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and the CF3 source. Facile transformations deliver many chiral amine building blocks of interest in organic synthesis and related areas.

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
Nitrogen-containing heterocycles represent the majority of FDA-approved small-molecule pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a synthetic method to produce saturated N-heterocyclic drug scaffolds with an internal alkyne for elaboration. The treatment of N,N-dimethylhydrazinoalkenes with Et2Zn, followed by a Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling with 1-bromoalkynes, results in piperidines and pyrrolidines with a good yield. Five examples are reported and a proposed mechanism for the Cu(I)-catalyzed cross-coupling is presented.

Abstract
Saturated heterocycles containing oxygen and sulfur are found in biologically significant molecules. The enantioselective oxysulfenylation of alkenols provides a straightforward synthesis route. To date, organocatalytic methods have dominated this approach. Herein, a complementary approach via copper catalysis is presented. This exoselective method provides enantioenriched arylthiomethyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines from acyclic alkenols. This method provides the largest scope to date for the exocyclization mode, and with generally high enantioselectivity. The enantioselectivity of this copper-catalyzed oxysulfenylation is rationalized by a proposed mechanism involving alkene oxycupration followed by C─S bond formation via radical-mediated atom transfer.

Abstract
The chemistry of nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs) has plentiful applications in organic synthesis, and they continue to expand as our understanding of these reactive species increases. The utility of these reactive intermediates is demonstrated in the recent advances in C-H amination and the (di)amination of alkenes. Synthesis of previously challenging structures can be achieved by efficient functionalization of sp2 moieties without prefunctionalization, allowing for faster and more streamlined synthesis. This Review addresses the generation, reactivity, and application of NCRs, including, but not limited to, iminyl, aminyl, amidyl, and aminium species. Contributions from early discovery up to the most recent examples have been highlighted, covering radical initiation, thermolysis, photolysis, and, more recently, photoredox catalysis. Radical-mediated intermolecular amination of (hetero)arenes can occur with a variety of complex amine precursors, generating aniline derivatives, an important class of structures for drug discovery and development. Functionalization of olefins is achievable in high anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and allows access to difunctionalized structures when the intermediate carbon radicals are trapped. Additionally, the reactivity of NCRs can be harnessed for the rapid construction of N-heterocycles such as pyrrolidines, phenanthridines, quinoxalines, and quinazolinones.

Abstract
A complementary copper-catalyzed and electrochemical aminosulfonylation of O-homoallyl benzimidates and N-alkenyl amidines with sodium sulfinates was developed. The terminal alkene substrate produced sulfone-containing 1,3-oxazines and tetrahydropyrimidines in the presence of Cu(OAc)2, Ag2CO3, and DPP, and under similar reaction conditions, sulfonylated tetrahydro-1,3-oxazepines were prepared from 1-aryl-substituted O-homoallyl benzimidates in moderate to good yields. For certain electron-rich 1,1-diaryl-substituted alkene substrates, the corresponding tetrahydro-1,3-oxazepines could also be obtained in similar or even higher yields via a green electrochemical technique.

Abstract
We report a Ni-catalyzed regioselective arylbenzylation of alkenylarenes with benzyl halides and arylzinc reagents. The reaction furnishes differently substituted 1,1,3-triarylpropyl structures that are reminiscent of the cores of oligoresveratrol natural products. The reaction is also compatible for the coupling of internal alkenes, secondary benzyl halides and variously substituted arylzinc reagents. Kinetic studies reveal that the reaction proceeds with a rate-limiting single-electron-transfer process and is autocatalyzed by in-situ-generated ZnX2 . The reaction rate is amplified by a factor of three through autocatalysis upon addition of ZnX2 .

Abstract
We disclose a nickel-catalyzed reaction, which enabled us to difunctionalize unactivated γ,δ-alkenes in ketones with alkenyl triflates and arylboronic esters. The reaction was made feasible by the use of 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline as a ligand along with NiBr2 ⋅DME as a catalyst and LiOtBu as base. The reaction proceeded with a wide range of cyclic, acyclic, endocyclic and exocyclic alkenyl ketones, and electron-rich and electron-deficient arylboronate esters. The reaction also worked with both cyclic and acyclic alkenyl triflates. Control experiments indicate that carbonyl coordination is required for the reaction to proceed.

Abstract
A one-step protocol of the aryl iodine-catalyzed aminolactonization of unactivated alkenes under oxidation conditions was first reported to efficiently construct diverse amino lactones in a short time using HNTs2 as the compatible nitrogen source. In addition, we investigated the influence of the reaction rate based on the structure of the iodoarene precatalyst, which revealed the selective adjustment effect on aminolactonization and oxylactonization. Finally, preliminary experiments verified the feasibility of asymmetric aminolactonization catalyzed by a chiral iodoarene precatalyst.

Abstract
Reported here is the room-temperature metal-free iodoarene-catalyzed oxyamination of unactivated alkenes. In this process, the alkenes are difunctionalized by the oxygen atom of the amide group and the nitrogen in an exogenous HNTs2 molecule. This mild and open-air reaction provided an efficient synthesis to N-bistosyl-substituted 5-imino-2-tetrahydrofuranyl methanamine derivatives, which are important motifs in drug development and biological studies. Mechanistic study based on experiments and density functional theory calculations showed that this transformation proceeds via activation of the substrate alkene by an in situ generated cationic iodonium(III) intermediate, which is subsequently attacked by an oxygen atom (instead of nitrogen) of amides to form a five-membered ring intermediate. Finally, this intermediate undergoes an SN2 reaction by NTs2 as the nucleophile to give the oxygen and nitrogen difunctionalized 5-imino-2-tetrahydrofuranyl methanamine product. An asymmetric variant of the present alkene oxyamination using chiral iodoarenes as catalysts also gave promising results for some of the substrates.

Abstract
Oxidative amination of alkenes via amidyl radical addition is potentially an efficient method to generate allylic amines, which are versatile synthetic intermediates to bioactive compounds and organic materials. Here by combining photochemical generation of amidyl radicals with Cu-mediated β-H elimination of alkyl radicals, we have developed an intermolecular oxidative amination of unactivated alkenes. The reaction relies on tandem photoredox and copper catalysis, and works for both terminal and internal alkenes. The radical nature of the reaction and the mild conditions lead to high functional group tolerance. Oxidative amination via amidyl radical addition of unactivated alkenes was realized by dual photoredox and copper catalysis.![]()

Abstract
In contrast to the wealth of asymmetric transformations for generating central chirality from alkyl radicals, the enantiocontrol over the allenyl radicals for forging axial chirality represents an uncharted domain. The challenge arises from the unique elongated linear configuration of the allenyl radicals that necessitates the stereo-differentiation of remote motifs away from the radical reaction site. We herein describe a copper-catalyzed asymmetric radical 1,4-carboalkynylation of 1,3-enynes via the coupling of allenyl radicals with terminal alkynes, providing diverse synthetically challenging tetrasubstituted chiral allenes. A chiral N,N,P-ligand is crucial for both the reaction initiation and the enantiocontrol over the highly reactive allenyl radicals. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, covering a variety of (hetero)aryl and alkyl alkynes and 1,3-enynes as well as radical precursors with excellent functional group tolerance.

Abstract
A Cu-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cyclization of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones for the preparation of pyrazole derivatives has been developed. The hydrazonyl radical promoted the cyclization, along with a concomitant C═C bond cleavage of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones. This process has been verified via several control experiments, including a radical-trapping study, an 18O-labeling method, and the identification of the possible byproducts. The advantages of this reaction include operational simplicity, a broad reaction scope, and a mild selective reaction process.

Abstract
Migration of metals along a carbon chain is triggered by two of the most common organometallic elementary steps - β-hydride (β-H) elimination and alkene hydrometallation. This process heralds a new future for creating bonds at carbon sites that fall outside the tenets of the conventional wisdom for reactivity and bond formation, and provides an opportunity to leverage β-H elimination to advance the very reaction of alkene difunctionalization it is intrinsically predestined to disrupt. Almost four decades since its genesis, the early adventure for alkene difunctionalization by metal migration was sporadic, and its later development went on a hiatus primarily due to original impetus on arresting β-H elimination for vicinal alkene difunctionalization. With the recent surge on alkene difunctionalization, efforts have been gradually shifting to harnessing the process of β-H elimination to difunctionalize alkenes at sites other than the classical vicinal carbons, termed henceforth nonclassical reaction sites for pedagogical simplicity. In this review article, we extricate and examine the origin and the development of such reactions over the years. This review covers a wide range of reactions for the difunctionalization of alkenes at geminal (1,1), allylic (1,3) and remote (1,n) carbon sites with a variety of coupling partners. These reactions have enabled engineering of complex molecular frameworks with the generation of new carbon-carbon (C-C)/C-C, C-C/C-heteroatom (halogens, O, N, B) and C-B/C-B bonds. The development of these unique transformations is also presented with mechanistic hypotheses and experimental evidences put forward by researchers. Judged by the number of reports emerging recently, it is now strikingly evident that the field of alkene difunctionalization by metal migration has begun to gain momentum, which holds a great future prospect to develop into a synthetic method of enormous potential.

Abstract
Enantioselective carboaminations of olefins constitute an attractive strategy for a rapid increase in molecular complexity from readily available starting materials. Reported here is an intermolecular asymmetric carboamination of acrylates using rhodium(III)-catalyzed alkenyl C-H activations of N-enoxysuccinimides to generate the nitrogen and carbon portion for the transfer. A rhodium complex equipped with a tailored bulky trisubstituted chiral Cpx ligand ensures carboamination chemoselectivity as well high levels of enantioinduction. The transformation operates under mild reaction conditions at ambient temperatures and provides access to a variety of α-amino esters in good yields and excellent enantiomeric ratios of >99.5:0.5.

Abstract
Reduction of waste is an important goal of modern organic synthesis. We report herein oxidase reactivity for enantioselective intramolecular copper-catalyzed alkene carboamination and carboetherification reactions where previously used stoichiometric MnO2 has been replaced with oxygen. This substitution was risky as the reaction mechanism is thought to involve C-C bond formation via addition of alkyl carbon radicals to arenes. Such intermediates are also susceptible to C-O bond formation via O2 addition. Control of absolute stereochemistry under aerobic conditions was also uncertain. The oxidative cyclization efficiencies appear to track with the ease of the radical addition to the arenes.

Abstract
![]()
An efficient Pd/ETM
(ETM = electron transfer mediator)-cocatalyzed
stereoselective oxidative carbocyclization of dienallenes under aerobic
oxidation conditions has been developed to afford six-membered heterocycles.
The use of a bifunctional cobalt complex [Co(salophen)-HQ] as hybrid
ETM gave a faster aerobic oxidation than the use of separated ETMs,
indicating that intramolecular electron transfer between the hydroquinone
unit and the oxidized metal macrocycle occurs. In this way, a class
of important cis-1,4-disubstituted six-membered heterocycles,
including dihydropyran and tetrahydropyridine derivatives were obtained
in high diastereoselectivity with good functional group compatibility.
The experimental and computational (DFT) studies reveal that the pendent
olefin does not only act as an indispensable element for the initial
allene attack involving allenic C(sp3)–H
bond cleavage, but it also induces a face-selective reaction of the
olefin of the allylic group, leading to a highly diastereoselective
formation of the product. Finally, the deuterium kinetic isotope effects
measured suggest that the initial allenic C(sp3)–H bond cleavage is the rate-limiting step, which
was supported by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Vicinal alkene carboamination is a highly efficient and practical synthetic strategy for the straightforward preparation of diverse and valuable amine derivatives starting from simple compounds. During the last decade that approach has found continuous research interests and various practical methods have been developed using transition-metal catalysis. Driven by the renaissance of synthetic radical chemistry, intermolecular radical alkene carboamination comprising a C-C bond and a C-N bond forming step has been intensively investigated recently culminating in novel strategies and improved protocols which complement existing methodologies. Radical alkene carboamination can be achieved via three different reaction modes. Such cascades can proceed through N-radical addition to an alkene with subsequent C-C bond formation leading to 2,1-carboamination products. Alternatively, the C-C bond can be installed prior to the C-N bond via initial C-radical addition to the alkene with subsequent β-amination resulting in 1,2-carboamination. The third mode comprises initial single electron oxidation of the alkene to the corresponding alkene radical cation that gets trapped by an N-nucleophile and the cascade is terminated by radical C-C bond formation. In this review, the three different conceptual approaches will be discussed and examples from the recent literature will be presented. Further, the reader will get insights into the mechanism of the different transformations.

Abstract
An aerobic catalytic oxidation process is described for the olefin oxyamination using acids and primary amines as the sources of O and N. Our mechanistic findings point to the formation of triiodide as a critical catalytic intermediate to account for the tolerance of electron-rich nucleophiles. This dual iodide and copper catalytic system is suitable for a formal [5+1] annulation process to access valuable lactam structures and highlighted by the synthesis of the pharmaceutical Zamifenacin.

Abstract
Asymmetric functionalization of alkyl radicals represents a robust yet underdeveloped method for efficient construction and decoration of carbon skeletons in chiral organic molecules. In this field, we have been inspired by the excellent redox, alkyl radical trapping, and Lewis acidic properties of copper to develop several catalytic modes for asymmetric reactions involving alkyl radicals. At the beginning, we discovered tandem radical hydrotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes and enantioselective alkoxylation of remote C(sp3)-H bonds by copper/chiral phosphate relay catalysis. This success has stimulated us to develop an asymmetric three-component 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of 1,1-diarylalkenes using a similar strategy via radical intermediates. Meanwhile, we also discovered a copper/chiral secondary amine cooperative catalyst for asymmetric radical intramolecular cyclopropanation of alkenes using α-aldehyde methylene groups as C1 sources. The trapping of alkyl radical intermediates by CuII species during the reaction was essential for the chemoselectivity toward cyclopropanation. Encouraged by the efficient enantiocontrol with chiral phosphate and the effective trapping of alkyl radicals with CuII species, we then sought to develop copper/chiral phosphate as a single-electron-transfer catalyst for asymmetric reactions involving alkyl radicals. Subsequently, we successfully achieved a series of highly enantioselective 1,2-aminofluoroalkylation, -aminoarylation, -diamination, -aminosilylation, and -oxytrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes. The key for high enantioinduction was believed to be the effective trapping of alkyl radicals by CuII/chiral phosphate complexes. Besides, an achiral pyridine ligand was found to be indispensable for achieving high enantioselectivity, presumably via stabilization of CuIII species in the 1,2-alkoxytrifluoromethylation reaction. This discovery reminded us of tuning the redox properties and chemoreactivity of copper centers with an ancillary ligand. As a result, we subsequently identified cinchona alkaloid-derived sulfonamides as novel neutral-anionic hybrid ligands for simultaneous chemo- and enantiocontrol. We thus accomplished highly enantioselective 1,2-iminoxytrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes under the catalysis of copper/cinchona alkaloid-derived sulfonamide ligand, affording trifluoromethylated isoxazolines in high enantiomeric excess. Our copper-catalyzed asymmetric reactions with alkyl radicals provide expedient access to a diverse range of valuable chiral molecules with broad application potential in areas of organic synthesis, medicine, agrochemical, and material sciences.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed alkene difunctionalization reactions between alkenes bearing tethered aryl or alkenyl triflates and enolate nucleophiles are described. The transformations form two C-C bonds, a ring, and up to two stereocenters, while producing substituted cyclopentane derivatives that contain appended carbonyl functionality. Products are formed with up to >20:1 diastereoselectivity, and formation of sterically congested bonds between quaternary carbon atoms is feasible.

Abstract
An intramolecular Ir(III)-catalyzed regiodivergent oxyamination of unactivated alkenes provides valuable γ-lactams, γ-lactones and δ-lactams. The regioselectivity is controlled by the electronically tunable cyclopentadienyl Ir(III)-complexes enabling oxyamination via either 5-exo or 6-endo pathways. With respect to the mechanism, we propose a highly reactive [3.1.0] bicycle intermediate derived from Ir(V) nitrene-mediated aziridination to be a key intermediate toward the synthesis of γ-lactams.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed direct aminosulfonylation of unactivated alkenes with sodium sulfinates for the efficient synthesis of sulfonylated pyrrolidones is described. This reaction features good functional group tolerance and wide substrate scope, providing an efficient and straightforward protocol to access this kind of pyrrolidones. Moreover, preliminary mechanistic investigations disclosed that a free-radical pathway might be invovled in the process.
