Abstract
We disclose a photocatalytic strategy that simultaneously addresses the construction of trifluoromethylated quaternary carbon centers and the preparation of β-CF3-enones through radical difunctionalization of α-CF3 alkenes with acyl chlorides. This method is characterized by its broad functional group compatibility, high efficiency, and atom economy. The versatility of this transformation is poised to broaden the applications of α-CF3 alkenes, providing new pathways for the rapid assembly of structurally diverse fluorinated compounds.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a novel and efficient photoredox catalytic Cα radical addition/defluoroalkylation coupling reaction between α-trifluoromethyl alkenes and N-trifluoroethyl hydroxylamine. A series of gem-difluoroallylated α-trifluoromethylamines were synthesized by the Cα radical addition enabled by a 1,2-H shift of the in situ-generated N-trifluoroethyl radical. Notably, this protocol is distinguished by its mild conditions, easy operation, and excellent functional group tolerability.

Abstract
Reactions that cleave C-C bonds and enable functionalization at both carbon sites are powerful strategic tools in synthetic chemistry. Stereodefined cyclopropyl ketones have become readily available and would be an ideal source of 3-carbon fragments, but general approaches to net C-C activation / difunctionalization are unknown. Herein we demonstrate the cross-coupling of cyclopropyl ketones with organozinc reagents and chlorotrimethylsilane to form 1,3-difunctionalized, ring-opened products. A combination of experimental and theoretical studies rule out more established mechanisms and shed light on how cooperation between the redox-active terpyridine (tpy) ligand and the nickel atom enables the C-C bond activation step. The reduced (tpy•-)NiI species activates the C-C bond via a concerted asynchronous ring-opening transition state. The resulting alkylnickel(II) intermediate can then be engaged by aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkylzinc reagents to furnish cross-coupled products. This allows quick access to products that are difficult to make by conjugate addition methods, such as β-allylated and β -benzylated enol ethers. The utility of this approach is demonstrated in the synthesis of a key (±)-taiwaniaquinol B intermediate and the total synthesis of prostaglandin D1.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric dearomative aryl-difluoroallylation reaction of indoles with α-trifluoromethyl alkenes as an electrophilic coupling partner. The reaction proceeds via a cascade sequence involving dearomative Heck cyclization and reductive allylic defluorination. A series of gem-difluoroallyl substituted indolines are obtained in moderate to good yields (36-77% yield) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). The reaction features broad functional group tolerance, scaled-up synthesis, and late-stage diversification.

Abstract
Allenyl carbonate was used as a 1,3-butadiene surrogate to develop a photocatalytically sustainable protocol for cobalt-catalyzed crotylation of aldehydes. The developed method tolerated a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with retention of functional groups under mild conditions and produced good-to-excellent yields of crotylated secondary alcohols. Based on preliminary mechanistic studies and literature precedents, a plausible mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
Cross-electrophile coupling reactions involving direct C-O bond activation of unactivated alkyl sulfonates or C-F bond activation of allylic gem-difluorides remain challenging. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction between alkyl mesylates and allylic gem-difluorides to synthesize enantioenriched vinyl fluoride-substituted cyclopropane products. These complex products are interesting building blocks with applications in medicinal chemistry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate that there are two competing pathways for this reaction, both of which initiate by coordination of the electron-deficient olefin to the low-valent nickel catalyst. Subsequently, the reaction can proceed by oxidative addition of the C-F bond of the allylic gem-difluoride moiety or by directed polar oxidative addition of the alkyl mesylate C-O bond.

Abstract
By merging C-C and C-F bond cleavage, we developed a regioselective ring opening/gem-difluoroallylation of cyclopropyl ketones with α-trifluoromethylstyrenes, which proceeds under the catalysis of iron with the combination of manganese and TMSCl as the reducing agents, providing a new entry to the synthesis of carbonyl-containing gem-difluoroalkenes. Remarkably, the ketyl radical-induced selective C-C bond cleavage and the following generation of more-stable carbon-centered radicals enable complete regiocontrol of this ring opening reaction for various substitution patterns of the cyclopropane ring.

Abstract
The catalytic bis-allylation of alkynes is an important but challenging protocol to construct all-carbon tetra-substituted alkenes. Particularly, the catalytic unsymmetrical bis-allylation of alkynes remains as an underexplored task to date. We herein report an unprecedented unsymmetrical bis-allylation by simultaneously utilizing electrophilic trifluoromethyl alkene and nucleophilic allylboronate as the allylic reagents. With the aid of robust Ni0 /NHC catalysis, valuable skipped trienes can be obtained in high regio- and stereo-selectivities under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction may proceed through a β-fluorine elimination of a nickelacycle followed by a transmetalation step with allylboronate. The present method exhibits a good tolerance of various functional groups. Besides, the skipped triene products can undergo an array of elaborate transformations, which highlights the potential applications of this strategy.

Abstract
Ketyl-olefin coupling reactions stand as one of the fundamental chemical transformations in synthetic chemistry and have been widely employed in the generation of complex molecular architectures and natural product synthesis. However, catalytic ketyl-olefin coupling, until the recent development of photoredox chemistry and electrosynthesis through single-electron transfer mechanisms, has remained largely undeveloped. Herein, we describe a new approach to achieve catalytic ketyl-olefin coupling reactions by a halogen-atom transfer mechanism, which provides innovative and efficient access to various gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols under mild conditions with broad substrate scope. Preliminary mechanistic experimental and computational studies demonstrate that this radical-to-polar crossover transformation could be achieved by sequentially orchestrated Lewis acid activation, halogen-atom transfer, radical addition, single-electron reduction and β-fluoro elimination.

Abstract
The first enantioselective decarboxylative Negishi-type alkylations of α-oxy carboxylic acids are reported via the intermediacy of redox-active esters (RAEs). This transformation enables a radical-based retrosynthesis of seemingly trivial enantiopure dialkyl carbinols. This article includes a discussion of the history of such couplings, the retrosynthetic ramifications of such a coupling, the development of general conditions, and an extensive series of applications that vividly demonstrate how it can simplify synthesis.

Abstract
In this protocol, we demonstrate our discovery that iron is able to efficiently catalyze the reductive allylic defluorinative ketyl olefin coupling reaction between α-trifluoromethyl alkenes and unactivated ketones. This operationally simple cross-electrophile reaction circumvents the use of pre-generated organometallics and allows for the synthesis of diverse functional-group-rich tertiary gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols through a polarity-reversed strategy. Preliminary mechanistic studies support a mechanism that proceeds through a ketyl formation/olefin insertion/β-fluoro elimination sequence.

Abstract
We report the transition-metal-free defluorinative C-C bond-forming reaction of trifluoromethyl alkenes with gem-(diborylalkyl)lithiums. This synthetic strategy provides access to a variety of 4,4-difluoro homoallylic diboronate esters, which serve as versatile intermediates in the efficient preparation of valuable gem-difluoroalkene derivatives. Further synthetic modifications are conducted to demonstrate the synthetic utility of the obtained 4,4-difluoro homoallylic diboronate esters.
