Abstract
Neighboring group participation, the assistance of non-conjugated electrons to a reaction center, is a fundamental phenomenon in chemistry. In the framework of nucleophilic substitution reactions, neighboring group participation is known to cause rate acceleration, first order kinetics (SN1), and retention of configuration. The latter phenomenon is a result of double inversion: the first one when the neighboring group displaces the leaving group, and the second when a nucleophile substitutes the neighboring group. This powerful control of stereoretention has been widely used in organic synthesis for more than a century. However, neighboring group participation may also lead to inversion of configuration, a phenomenon which is often overlooked. Herein, we review this unique mode of stereoinversion, dividing the relevant reactions into three classes with the aim to introduce a fresh perspective on the different modes of stereoinversion via neighboring group participation as well as the factors that control this stereochemical outcome.

Abstract
The interest in the discovery and development of skeletal editing processes that selectively insert, exchange, or delete an atom in organic molecules has significantly increased over the last few years. However, processes of this class that proceed through the creation of a chiral center with high asymmetric induction have been largely unexplored. Herein, we report an enantioselective single-carbon insertion in aryl- and alkyl-substituted alkenes mediated by a catalytically generated chiral Rh-carbynoid and phosphate nucleophiles that produce enantioenriched allylic phosphates (enantiomeric ratio (e.r.) = 89.5:10.5-99.5:0.5). The key to the process was a diastereo- and enantioselective cyclopropanation of the alkene with a chiral Rh-carbynoid and the formation of a transient cyclopropyl-I(III) intermediate. The addition of the phosphate nucleophile provided a cyclopropyl-I(III)-phosphate intermediate that undergoes disrotatory ring opening following the Woodward-Hoffmann-DePuy rules. This process led to a chiral intimate allyl cation-phosphate pair that evolved with excellent enantioretention. The evidence of an SN1-like SNi mechanism is provided by linear free-energy relationship studies, kinetic isotope effects, X-ray crystallography, and control experiments. We demonstrated the utility of the enantioenriched allylic phosphates in late-stage N-H allylations of natural products and drug molecules and in cross-coupling reactions that occurred with excellent enantiospecificity.

Abstract
By integration of oxocarbenium activation and Lewis acid coordination activation via conformational proximity-driven, Pd(II)- or Cu(I)-catalyzed intramolecular ketone haloacylation, regio- and stereoselective heterolytic ring-opening 1,5-haloacylation of cyclopropyl ketones, including those with weak single alkyl donors, has been developed for the synthesis of valuable α-quaternary halo-γ-butenolides. The vicinal carboxylic acid and ketone acceptors are no longer just spectator activators. Further, this reaction delivers a constant regioselectivity regardless of the electronic nature of substituents, even the malonate.

Abstract
CF3-substituted cyclopropyl carbinol derivatives undergo regioselective and diastereoselective nucleophilic halogenation at the quaternary carbon center to provide acyclic products as a single diastereomer. The selectivity of the substitution is rationalized by the formation of a nonclassical cyclopropylcarbinyl cation intermediate, reacting at the most-substituted carbon center. Tertiary alkyl chlorides, bromides, and fluorides adjacent to a stereogenic C-CF3-motif are diastereomerically pure and can be obtained in few catalytic steps from commercially available alkynes.

Abstract
α,α-Disubstituted α-amino acids (α-AAs) have improved properties compared to other types of amino acids. They serve as modifiers of peptide conformation and as precursors of bioactive compounds. Therefore, it has been a long-standing goal to construct this highly valuable scaffold efficiently in organic synthesis and drug discovery. However, access to α,α-disubstituted α-AAs is highly challenging and largely unexplored due to their steric constraints. To overcome these, remarkable advances have been made in the last decades. Emerging strategies such as synergistic enantioselective catalysis, visible-light-mediated photocatalysis, metal-free methodologies and CO2 fixation offer new avenues to access the challenging synthesis of α,α-disubstituted α-AAs and continuously bring additional contributions to this field. This review article aims to provide an overview of the recent advancements since 2015 and discuss existing challenges for the synthesis of α,α-disubstituted α-AAs and their derivatives.

Abstract
Prediction of the outcome of ring opening of small organic rings under cationic conditions can be challenging due to the intermediacy of nonclassical carbocations. For example, the solvolysis of cyclobutyl or cyclopropylmethyl derivatives generates up to four products on nucleophilic capture or elimination via cyclopropylcarbinyl and bicyclobutonium ions. Here, we show that such reaction outcomes can be controlled by subtle changes to the structure of nonclassical carbocation. Using bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes as cation precursors, the regio- and stereochemistry of ring opening is shown to depend on the degree and nature of the substituents on the cationic intermediates. Reaction outcomes are rationalized using computational models, resulting in a flowchart to predict product formation from a given cation precursor.

Abstract
An effective InBr3-catalyzed nucleophilic thiocyanation of cyclopropyl alcohols has been developed. The reaction takes place at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of the cyclopropyl carbinol with a complete inversion of configuration, offering a novel pathway for the creation of complex tertiary alkyl thiocyanates with high diastereopurity. These substitution reactions proceed under mild reaction conditions and tolerate several functional groups. Additionally, thiocyanates were converted to thiols using lithium aluminum hydride.

Abstract
A method for deoxyfluorination of aliphatic primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols is reported, employing a nontrigonal phosphorus triamide for base-free alcohol activation in conjunction with an organic soluble fluoride donor and a triarylborane fluoride shuttling catalyst. Mechanistic experiments are consistent with a reaction that proceeds by the collapse of an oxyphosphonium fluoroborate ion pair with fluoride transfer. The substrate scope complements existing deoxyfluorination methods and enables the preparation of homochiral secondary and tertiary alkylfluorides by stereoinversion of the substrate alcohol.

Abstract
Partially saturated, fluorine-containing rings are ubiquitous across the drug discovery spectrum. This capitalises upon the biological significance of the native structure and the physicochemical advantages conferred by fluorination. Motivated by the significance of aryl tetralins in bioactive small molecules, a reaction cascade has been validated to generate novel gem-difluorinated isosteres from 1,3-diaryl cyclobutanols in a single operation. Under the Brønsted acidity of the catalysis conditions, an acid-catalysed unmasking/fluorination sequence generates a homoallylic fluoride in situ. This species serves as the substrate for an I(I)/I(III) cycle and is processed, via a phenonium ion rearrangement, to an (isolable) 1,3,3-trifluoride. A final C(sp3)-F bond activation event, enabled by HFIP, forges the difluorinated tetralin scaffold. The cascade is highly modular, enabling the intermediates to be intercepted: this provides an expansive platform for the generation of structural diversity.

Abstract
In nature, cyclopropylcarbinyl cation is often involved in cationic cascade reactions catalyzed by natural enzymes to produce a great number of structurally diverse natural substances. However, mimicking this natural process with artificial organic catalysts remains a daunting challenge in synthetic chemistry. We report a small molecule-catalyzed asymmetric rearrangement of cyclopropylcarbinyl cations, leading to a series of chiral homoallylic sulfide products with good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% enantiomeric excess). In the presence of a chiral SPINOL-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide catalyst, the dehydration of prochiral cyclopropylcarbinols occurs rapidly to generate symmetrical cyclopropylcarbinyl cations, which are subsequently trapped by thione-containing nucleophiles. A subgram-scale experiment and multiple downstream transformations of the sulfide products are further pursued to demonstrate the synthetic utility. Notably, a few heteroaromatic sulfone derivatives could serve as "covalent warhead" in the enzymatic inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 main protease.

Abstract
The synthesis of quaternary homoallylic halides and trichloroacetates from cyclopropylcarbinols, as reported by Marek (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 5543-5548), is one of the few reported examples of stereospecific nucleophilic substitution involving chiral bridged carbocations. However, for the phenyl-substituted substrates, poor specificity is observed and mixtures of diastereomers are obtained. To understand the nature of the intermediates involved and explain the loss of specificity for certain substrates, we have performed a computational investigation of the reaction mechanism using ωB97X-D optimizations and DLPNO-CCSD(T) energy refinements. Our results indicate that cyclopropylcarbinyl cations are stable intermediates in this reaction, while bicyclobutonium structures are high-energy transition structures that are not involved. Instead, multiple rearrangement pathways of cyclopropylcarbinyl cations were located, including ring openings to homoallylic cations. The activation barriers required to reach such structures are correlated to the nature of the substituents; while direct nucleophilic attack on the chiral cyclopropylcarbinyl cations is kinetically favored for most systems, the rearrangements become competitive with nucleophilic attack for the phenyl-substituted systems, leading to a loss of specificity through rearranged carbocation intermediates. As such, stereospecific reactions of chiral cyclopropylcarbinyl cations depend on the energies required to access their corresponding homoallylic structures, from which selectivity is not guaranteed.

Abstract
We report an operationally simple route to δ-valerolactones through an organophosphorus-catalyzed borylative ring-opening/allylation of vinylcyclopropanes providing δ-hydroxy esters stereoselectively. The δ-hydroxy esters were lactonized to obtain densely substituted δ-valerolactones. The present methodology exhibited enhanced functional group tolerance compared to the existing metal-mediated methods. A plausible mechanism for borylative ring-opening reaction has been suggested. 31P NMR studies indicated the involvement of a phosphonium zwitterionic species. The synthetic utility of the intermediate allyl boronates was demonstrated.

Abstract
A novel approach for the formation of the highly strained spiro[3.3]heptan-1-one motif was developed through the reaction of 1-sulfonylcyclopropanols and lithiated 1-sulfonylbicyclo[1.1.0]butanes. Following initial nucleophilic addition to the cyclopropanone formed in situ, the resulting 1-bicyclobutylcyclopropanol intermediate is prone to a 'strain-relocating' semipinacol rearrangement in the presence of acid, directly affording the substituted spiro[3.3]heptan-1-one. The process is shown to be fully regio- and stereospecific when starting from a substituted cyclopropanone equivalent, leading to optically active 3-substituted spiro[3.3]heptan-1-ones. The reaction likely proceeds via initial protonation of the bicyclobutyl moiety followed by [1,2]-rearrangement of the resulting cyclopropylcarbinyl cation.

Abstract
Fluorinated compounds have found widespread applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science. Precise construction of α-difluoromethylene ether (CF2-O) moiety in organic molecules is of high demand. Herein, a visible light-promoted reaction protocol for the synthesis of α-difluoromethylene ether from gem-difluorocyclopropane is described. The key ring-opening step is induced by hyperconjugative interaction of cyclopropane with photo-oxidized aromatic rings. This reaction is easy scale-up, and the products bearing a synthetic handle enable their further manipulation.

An efficient method for the stereoselective construction of tertiary C-O bonds via a stereoinvertive nucleophilic substitution at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of cyclopropyl carbinol derivatives using water, alcohols and phenols as nucleophiles has been developed. This substitution reaction proceeds under mild conditions and tolerates several functional groups, providing a new access to the stereoselective formation of highly congested tertiary homoallyl alcohols and ethers.

Abstract
Sterically congested C-O and C-N bonds are ubiquitous in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and bioactive compounds. However, the development of a general method for the efficient construction of those sterically demanding covalent bonds still remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a photoredox-driven ring-opening C(sp3)-heteroatom bond formation of arylcyclopropanes is presented, which enables the construction of structurally diversified while sterically congested dialkyl ether, alkyl ester, alcohol, amine, chloride/fluoride, azide and also thiocyanate derivatives. The selective single electron oxidation of aryl motif associated with the thermodynamic driving force from ring strain-release is the key for this transformation. By this synergistic activation mode, C-C bond cleavage of otherwise inert cyclopropane framework is successfully unlocked. Further mechanistic and computational studies disclose a complete stereoinversion upon nucleophilic attack, thus proving a concerted SN2-type ring-opening functionalization manifold, while the regioselectivity is subjected to an orbital control scenario.

Abstract
The various facets of the chemistry of cyclopropane derivatives, the smallest carbocycle, are amazingly diverse and continue to fascinate theoreticians, synthetic or structural chemists having interest in fundamental physical, medicinal chemistry, and natural product synthesis. The challenges generated by this intriguing cyclic arrangement of only three tetravalent carbons represent a wide area of the chemical spectrum. From fundamental aspects of bonding through the synthesis of highly strained molecules, the understanding of the mode of action in biological systems to the selective cleavage into acyclic substrates makes the chemistry of these small rings fascinating. Therefore, efficient routes to prepare differently polysubstituted cyclopropanes have always been of a primordial importance. In the past decade, we and others have expanded the scope of the carbometalation reaction of cyclopropenes as a broad and general method to the formation of stereodefined cyclopropane derivatives. Although cyclopropenes, with their even higher strain energy, easily undergo addition reactions of organometallic reagents, their carbometalation reactions generate new regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity issues that needed to be addressed. These various stereochemical aspects accompanied our research from its origins to today, and we are proposing in this Account, a didactic overview of the different ways by which cyclopropenes can lead to the formation of polysubstituted cyclopropanes or open-products possessing several stereogenic centers as a single regio- and diastereomer.We initially launched our research campaign on the chemistry of these strained three-membered rings by the regio- and diastereoselective copper-catalyzed carbomagnesiation of enantiomerically enriched cyclopropenyl carbinols. The directing alcohol governed both the regio- and diastereoselectivity of the addition and also served as a good leaving group as it undergoes a selective 1,2-elimination reaction to provide enantioenriched alkylidenecyclopropanes in excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses. Then, we turned our attention to the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of stereodefined tri- and tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes through the diastereoselective addition to sp2- monosubstituted cyclopropenyl ester derivatives. With the aim to further expand this concept to the formation of penta- and hexa-substituted cyclopropanes as single isomer, we had first to design the preparation of the required 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropenes that would control the regioselective addition of the organometallic derivatives. The synthesis of penta- and hexa-substituted cyclopropanes was then reported for the first time as a single regio- and diastereomer. It should be noted that the in situ formed cyclopropyl-metal intermediate is configurationally stable and can be subsequently functionalized with pure retention of the configuration by addition of electrophiles. Then, the enantioselective-catalyzed carbometalation reaction of achiral cyclopropenes allowed the synthesis of several new classes of cyclopropane derivatives in high enantiomeric ratios. Finally, by combining the regio- and diastereoselective carbometalation reaction of a cyclopropene with a subsequent reaction of the resulting cyclopropylmetal species, a selective carbon-carbon bond cleavage was observed to lead to the preparation of acyclic substrates possessing several stereocenters including a quaternary carbon stereogenic center. Our original vision of using strain within an embedded double bond in a three-membered ring has provided new routes to the stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopropanes and has been extremely successful, as it represents a current new tool for the synthesis of persubstituted cyclopropanes as a single diastereomer.

Abstract
A highly regio‐ and diastereoselective nucleophilic substitution at the quaternary carbon stereocenter of cyclopropyl ketones and cyclopropyl carbinol derivatives using TMSBr, DMPSCl and TMSN3 as nucleophiles has been developed. A variety of acyclic tertiary alkyl bromides, chlorides and azides were therefore prepared with excellent diastereopurity. The substitution occurs at the most substituted quaternary carbon center in a stereoinvertive manner, which may be attributed to the existence of a bicyclobutonium species.

Abstract
The preparation of a new class of alkenyl cyclopropyl diols, easily available through a copper-catalyzed carbometalation reaction of cyclopropenes, has enabled the study of key mechanistic aspects of the tandem Heck-cyclopropane ring-opening reaction. Utilizing these substrates containing two distinct hydroxyl groups allowed us to examine parameters affecting the reaction outcome and selectivity. The combination of these experimental results with detailed DFT studies shed light on the mechanism governing the regio- and stereoselectivity of the cyclopropane ring-opening. A thorough investigation displayed the dual roles fulfilled by the hydroxyl group during the reaction, which is key to this remarkable transformation. In addition to its mechanistic implication, the reaction granted access to various lactones possessing up to four stereocenters as a single diastereomer, conveniently prepared in only two catalytic steps from easily accessible achiral cyclopropenes.

Abstract
Degradable hydrogel adhesives with multifunctional advantages are promising to be candidates as hemostatic agents, surgical sutures, and wound dressings. In this study, hydrogel adhesives are constructed by catechol-conjugated gelatin from natural resource, iron ions (Fe3+ ), and a synthetic polymer. Specifically, the latter is prepared by the radical ring-opening copolymerization of a cyclic ketene acetal monomer 5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane and N-(2-ethyl p-toluenesulfonate) maleimide. By the incorporation of ester bonds in the backbone and the combination with quaternary ammonium salt pendants in the polymer, it exhibits excellent degradability and antibacterial property. Remarkably, doping the synthetic polymer into the 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid-modified gelatin network forms a semi-interpenetrating polymer network which can effectively improve the rigidity, tissue adhesion, and antibacterial property of fabricated hydrogel adhesives. Moreover, non-covalent bonds from coordination interaction between catechol and Fe3+ contribute to the fast self-healing of the developed hydrogel adhesives. These hydrogel adhesives with the multiple merits including the degradability, enhanced tissue adhesion, superior self-healing, good cytocompatibility, and antibacterial property show the great potential to be used as tissue adhesives in biomedical fields.

Abstract
We have discovered a ring-opening fluorination of bicyclic azaarenes. Upon treatment of bicyclic azaarenes such as pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines with electrophilic fluorinating agents, fluorination of the aromatic ring is followed by a ring-opening reaction. Although this overall transformation can be classified as an electrophilic fluorination of an aromatic ring, it is a novel type of fluorination that results in construction of tertiary carbon-fluorine bonds. The present protocol can be applied to a range of bicyclic azaarenes, tolerating azines and a variety of functional groups. Additionally, mechanistic studies and enantioselective fluorination have been examined.

Abstract
A highly general and straightforward approach to access chiral bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) bearing quaternary stereocenters has been realized via enantioconvergent dehydrative nucleophilic substitution. A broad range of 3,3′-, 3,2′- and 3,1′-BIMs were obtained under mild conditions with excellent efficiency and enantioselectivity (80 examples, up to 98% yield and >99 : 1 er). By utilizing racemic 3-indolyl tertiary alcohols as precursors of alkyl electrophiles and indoles as C–H nucleophiles, this organocatalytic strategy avoids pre-activation of substrates and produces water as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies suggest a formal SN1-type pathway enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. The practicability of the obtained enantioenriched BIMs was further demonstrated by versatile transformation and high antimicrobial activities (3al, MIC: 1 μg mL−1). A highly general and straightforward approach to access chiral bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) bearing quaternary stereocenters has been realized via enantioconvergent dehydrative nucleophilic substitution.![]()

Abstract
The construction of carbon-fluorine bonds is an important yet challenging task in organic synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed/-mediated C-F bond forming processes have recently emerged as a viable strategy and provided access to value-added monofluorinated compounds. A dramatic increase in fluorination methods using inexpensive and earth-abundant copper can be seen in the past decade surpassing those using palladium and silver. This review discusses the recent development of Cu-catalyzed/-mediated formation of C(sp2 )-F and C(sp3 )-F bonds.

Abstract
The access to 1,2- and 1,1,2-substituted trans cyclopentanes via a sequential hydrozirconation/TMSOTf-mediated cyclization applied to 5-methoxypent-1-enes is presented. Involving a transient carbocation, the reaction was shown to be diastereo-convergent. Possibly performed in a nonracemic version, the reaction proved compatible with a range of functional groups affording a large panel of cyclopentanes.

Abstract
Nucleophilic substitution reactions have always been considered as one of the most powerful reactions for the creation of carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds in organic synthesis. In contrast to secondary carbons, the steric shielding of tertiary carbons retards a concerted, stereospecific nucleophilic substitution, and ionizing pathways often lead to nonselective substitution due to ion pair dissociation. In this minireview, we will detail pioneering contributions and more recent achievements emphasizing the feasibility of nucleophilic substitution on tertiary stereocentres under certain conditions, with inversion of configuration. The development of these transformations at tertiary centres are of remarkable added value to practitioners in the field of complex molecule synthesis. A stereoselective substitution at a quaternary carbon stereocentre with inversion of configuration is also discussed in the case of a three-membered ring.
