Abstract
We disclose an efficient nickel catalytic system for expediting the coupling of alkynes with fluoroalkyl hydrazones and boronic acids, thus facilitating the synthesis of stereospecific α-fluoroalkyl-alkene derivatives. 3H-Pyrazoles might be involved as key intermediates through a nitrogen-releasing process, enabling subsequent coupling with boronic acids to afford 1,2-difunctional alkenes in a highly efficient and step-economical fashion. This tandem platform demonstrates broad functional group tolerance, including complex natural products and drug-like molecules.

Abstract
Asymmetric catalytic carbene reactions have been well documented in the last few decades for the expeditious assembly of chiral molecules with structural diversity. However, the enantioselective construction of all-carbon quaternary centers remains a challenge in this area. In this review article, two types of asymmetric carbene reactions that beyond cyclopropanation, cyclopropenation, and Büchner reaction, have been summarized for the construction of all-carbon quaternary centers: 1) using carbene species as a 1C synthon that reacts with a trisubstituted prochiral center; 2) sequential installation of two different C-C bonds on the carbene position, which features a gem-difunctionalization reaction. Especially, the asymmetric metal carbene gem-dialkylation process, which has emerged as a practical and versatile method for the expeditious assembly of complex architectures from readily available chemical resources, is a complementary approach for the expeditious assembly of all-carbon quaternary centers.

Abstract
Metalloradical catalysis (MRC) exploits the metal-centred radicals present in open-shell metal complexes as one-electron catalysts for the generation of metal-stabilized organic radicals-key intermediates that control subsequent one-electron homolytic reactions. Cobalt(II) complexes of porphyrins, as stable 15e-metalloradicals with a well-defined low-spin d7 configuration, have dominated the ongoing development of MRC. Here, to broaden MRC beyond the use of Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysts, we describe systematic studies that establish the operation of Fe(III)-based MRC and demonstrate an initial application for asymmetric radical transformations. Specifically, we report that five-coordinate iron(III) complexes of porphyrins with an axial ligand, which represent another family of stable 15e-metalloradicals with a d5 configuration, are potent metalloradical catalysts for olefin cyclopropanation with different classes of diazo compounds via a stepwise radical mechanism. This work lays a foundation and mechanistic blueprint for future exploration of Fe(III)-based MRC towards the discovery of diverse stereoselective radical reactions.

Abstract
Although 2-furyl-carbenes (furfurylidenes) are prone to instantaneous electrocyclic ring opening, chiral [BiRh]-paddlewheel complexes empowered by London dispersion allow (trifluoromethyl)furfurylidene metal complexes to be generated from a bench-stable triftosylhydrazone precursor. These reactive intermediates engage in asymmetric [2+1] cycloadditions and hence open entry into valuable trifluoromethylated cyclopropane or -cyclopropene derivatives in optically active form, which are important building blocks for medicinal chemistry but difficult to make otherwise.

Abstract
In recent years, a variety of cycloalkyl groups with quaternary carbons, in particular cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl trifluoromethyl groups, have emerged as promising bioisosteres in drug-like molecules. The modular installation of such bioisosteres remains challenging to synthetic chemists. Alkyl sulfinate reagents have been developed as radical precursors to prepare functionalized heterocycles with the desired alkyl bioisosteres. However, the innate (radical) reactivity of this transformation poses reactivity and regioselectivity challenges for the functionalization of any aromatic or heteroaromatic scaffold. Here we showcase the ability of alkyl sulfinates to engage in sulfurane-mediated C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling, thereby allowing for programmable and stereospecific installation of these alkyl bioisosteres. The ability of this method to simplify retrosynthetic analysis is exemplified by the improved synthesis of multiple medicinally relevant scaffolds. Experimental studies and theoretical calculations for the mechanism of this sulfur chemistry reveal a ligand-coupling trend under alkyl Grignard activation via the sulfurane intermediate, stabilized by solvation of tetrahydrofuran.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel strategy for the synthesis of chiral difluoroalkyl-substituted cyclopropanes through enantioselective [2 + 1] cyclopropanation of alkenes and difluoroalkyl-substituted carbenes under rhodium catalysis, wherein the newly designed α, α-difluoro-β-carbonyl ketone N-triftosylhydrazones are used as the difluoroalkyl-substituted carbenes precursors. This approach represents the first asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes with difluoroalkyl carbenes, featuring high yield, high enantioselectivity, and broad substrate scope. Gram-scale synthesis and further interconversion of diverse functional groups demonstrate the usefulness of this protocol in the preparation of diverse functionalized chiral difluoroalkyl-substituted cyclopropanes.

Abstract
Selective functionalization of a single sp3 C-F bond of the CF3 group represents an appealing way to generate the pharmaceutically privileged difluoromethylene moiety. Herein, a novel protocol for the C-F bond etherification of trifluoromethylalkenes and phenols is reported. A variety of alkenyl difluoroaryloxy ethers are obtained with good chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance. DFT calculation results and control experiments suggest that metal ion Cs+ might be involved in this defluorooxylation. Furthermore, the desired product exhibits a good insecticidal activity.

Abstract
The C–F bond cleavage and C–C bond formation (i.e., carbodefluorination) of readily accessible (per)fluoroalkyl groups constitutes an atom-economical and efficient route to partially fluorinated compounds. However, the selective mono-carbodefluorination of trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups remains a challenge, due to the notorious inertness of C–F bond and the risk of over-defluorination arising from C–F bond strength decrease as the defluorination proceeds. Herein, we report a carbene-initiated rearrangement strategy for the carbodefluorination of fluoroalkyl ketones with β,γ-unsaturated alcohols to provide skeletally and functionally diverse α-mono- and α,α-difluoro-γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. The reaction starts with the formation of silver carbenes from fluoroalkyl N-triftosylhydrazones, followed by nucleophilic attack of a β,γ-unsaturated alcohol to form key silver-coordinated oxonium ylide intermediates, which triggers selective C–F bond cleavage by HF elimination and C–C bond formation through Claisen rearrangement of in situ generated difluorovinyl ether. The origin of chemoselectivity and the reaction mechanism are determined by experimental and DFT calculations. Collectively, this strategy by an intramolecular cascade process offers significant advances over existing stepwise strategies in terms of selectivity, efficiency, functional group tolerance, etc. The selective functionalization of trifluoromethyl groups is challenging due to the inertness of the C–F bonds. Here the authors report a method for the carbodefluorination of C–F bonds of fluoroalkyl ketones via a carbene-initiated rearrangement strategy.

Abstract
ConspectusOver recent decades, N-sulfonylhydrazones have attracted significant attention in academic and industrial contexts owing to their ease of preparation, versatile reactivity, high stability, and practicality. In particular, the use of N-sulfonylhydrazones as precursors for diazo compounds has paved the way for innovative and original organic reactions that are otherwise difficult to achieve. Three key developments are noteworthy in the history of N-sulfonylhydrazone chemistry: (1) Bamford and Stevens initially disclosed the application of N-tosylhydrazones as a diazo source in 1952; (2) Aggarwal and co-workers investigated N-tosylhydrazone salts as diazo precursors for sulfur ylide-mediated asymmetric epoxidation and aziridination in 2001; and (3) Barluenga, Valdés and co-workers first reported Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with N-tosylhydrazones in 2007, thus introducing the direct use of N-tosylhydrazones in carbene transfer reactions. In the past 2 decades, the synthetic exploration of N-sulfonylhydrazones in carbene chemistry has increased remarkably. N-Tosylhydrazones are the most commonly used N-sulfonylhydrazones, but they are not easy to decompose and normally need relatively high temperatures (e.g., 90-110 °C). Temperature, as a key reaction parameter, has a significant influence on the selectivity and scope of organic reactions, especially the enantioselectivity. Aggarwal and co-workers have addressed this issue by using N-tosylhydrazone salts and achieved a limited number of asymmetric organic reactions, but the method is greatly limited because the salts must be freshly prepared or stored in the dark at -20 °C prior to use. Hence, easily decomposable N-sulfonylhydrazones, especially those capable of decomposing at low temperature, should open up new opportunities for the development of N-sulfonylhydrazone chemistry. Since 2014, our group has worked toward this goal and eventually identified N-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonylhydrazone (i.e., N-triftosylhydrazone) as an efficient diazo surrogate that can decompose at temperatures as low as -40 °C. This allowed us to carry out a range of challenging synthetic transformations and to broaden the applications of some known reactions of great relevance.In this Account, we report our achievements in the application of N-triftosylhydrazones in carbene chemistry. On the basis of the reaction types, such applications can be categorized as (i) C(sp3)-H insertion reactions, (ii) defluorinative reactions of fluoroalkyl N-triftosylhydrazones, (iii) cycloaddition reactions with alkenes and alkynes, and (iv) asymmetric reactions. Additional applications in Doyle-Kirmse rearrangements and cross-coupling with isocyanides (ours) and benzyl chlorides (from the group of Xia) are also summarized in this Account concerning miscellaneous reactions. In terms of reaction efficiency, selectivity, and functional group tolerance, N-triftosylhydrazones are generally superior to traditional N-tosylhydrazones because of their easy decomposition. Mechanistic investigations by theoretical calculations provide insights into both the reaction mechanisms and the origin of selectivity. We hope that this Account will inspire broad interest and promote new progress in the synthetic exploration of easily decomposable N-sulfonylhydrazones.

Abstract
The direct gem-difluoroalkenylation of X-H bonds represents the most straightforward approach to access heteroatomic gem-difluoroalkenes that, as the isostere of the carbonyl group, have great potency in drug discovery. However, the construction of tetrasubstituted heteroatomic gem-difluoroalkenes by this strategy is still an unsolved problem. Here, we report the first direct X-H bond gem-difluoroalkenylation of amines and alcohols with trifluoromethyl ketone N-triftosylhydrazones under silver (for (hetero)aryl hydrazones) or rhodium (for alkyl hydrazones), thereby providing a most powerful method for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted heteroatomic gem-difluoroalkenes. This method features a broad substrate scope, high product yield, excellent functional group tolerance, and operational simplicity (open air conditions). Moreover, the site-specific replacement of the carbonyl group with a gem-difluorovinyl ether bioisostere in drug Trimebutine and the post-modification of bioactive molecules demonstrates potential use in medicinal research. Finally, the reaction mechanism was investigated by combining experiments and DFT calculations, and disclosed that the key step of HF elimination occurred via five-membered ring transition state, and the difference in the electrophilicity of Ag- and Rh-carbenes as well as the multiple intermolecular interactions rendered the effectiveness of Rh catalyst selectively for alkyl hydrazones.

A practical dearomative [4 + 3] cycloaddition of furans with vinylcarbenes to access oxa-bridged seven-membered carbocycles, with complete and predictable stereoselectivity, is achieved by merging silver catalysis and vinyl-N-triftosylhydrazones.
