Abstract
Despite the existence of three competing reactions for propargyloxyoxindoles, we report a chemoselectivity switch between enantioselective propargyl [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement and Conia-ene-type reactions, with suppression of the [1,2]-Wittig-type rearrangement. Using C1-symmetric imidazolidine-pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand and Ni(acac)2 as the Lewis acid, diverse 3-hydroxy 3-substituted oxindoles containing allenyl groups were obtained in up to 98 % yield and 99 % ee via asymmetric propargyl [2,3]-Wittig rearrangement. In the presence of AgOTf-Duanphos, chiral spiro dihydrofuran oxindoles were given in up to 98 % yield and 91 % ee through a Conia-ene-type reaction.

Abstract
For traditional metal complexes, intricate chemistry is required to acquire appropriate ligands for controlling the electron and steric hindrance of metal active centers. Comparatively, the preparation of single-atom catalysts is much easier with more straightforward and effective accesses for the arrangement and control of metal active centers. The presence of coordination atoms or neighboring functional atoms on the supports' surface ensures the stability of metal single-atoms and their interactions with individual metal atoms substantially regulate the performance of metal active centers. Therefore, the collaborative interaction between metal and the surrounding coordination environment enhances the initiation of reaction substrates and the formation and transformation of crucial intermediate compounds, which imparts single-atom catalysts with significant catalytic efficacy, rendering them a valuable framework for investigating the correlation between structure and activity, as well as the reaction mechanism of catalysts in organic reactions. Herein, comprehensive overviews of the coordination interaction for both homogeneous metal complexes and single-atom catalysts in organic reactions are provided. Additionally, reflective conjectures about the advancement of single-atom catalysts in organic synthesis are also proposed to present as a reference for later development.

Abstract
The mechanistic details of the asymmetric Ni-catalyzed reductive cyclization/carboxylation of alkenes with CO2 have been revisited using DFT methods. Emphasis was put on the enantioselectivity and the mechanistic role of Lewis acid additives and in situ formed salts. Our results show that oxidative addition of the substrate is rate-limiting, with the formed Ni(II)-aryl intermediate preferring a triplet spin state. After reduction to Ni(I), enantioselective cyclization of the substrate occurs, followed by inner sphere carboxylation. Our proposed mechanism reproduces the experimentally observed enantiomeric excess and identifies critical C-H/O and C-H/N interactions that affect the selectivity. Further, our results highlight the beneficial effect of Lewis acids on CO2 insertion and suggest that in situ formed salts influence if the 5-exo or 6-endo product will be formed.

Abstract
An organophotocatalytic method has been described towards the synthesis of indolines and oxindoles starting from unusual α-chloro amide and N-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-alkyl methacrylamide substrates. This marks a notable improvement since the earlier syntheses utilized iridium and gold catalysts, and involved C-I or C-Br bond cleavage as the initial step. Our photocatalyst is a pincer ligand that can be easily deprotonated to make a very strong reducing agent. The reductive cleavage of the carbon-chloride bond, and subsequent 5-exo-trig ring cyclization, followed by hydrogen atom abstraction, prepare the desired heterocycles under very mild reaction conditions. An atom economic use of KOtBu has been shown to demonstrate the unusual trifunctional role of the latter.

Abstract
A novel photocatalytic palladium-induced 6-endo-selective alkyl Heck reaction of unactivated alkyl iodides and alkyl bromides has been described. This strategy facilitates the gentle and efficient synthesis of a variety of 5-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine derivatives. It demonstrates a broad substrate tolerance and excellent 6-endo selectivity. Unlike the high-temperature requirements of traditional alkyl Heck reactions, this transformation efficiently proceeds at room temperature and shows significant promise for industrial-scale applications. Mechanistic investigations reveal that this alkyl Heck reaction proceeds via a hybrid palladium-radical process.

Abstract
The synthesis of deuterated gem-difluoroalkenes via selective deuterodefluorination of β-CF3-cinnamates using a nickel catalyst has been reported for the first time. Commercially available deuterated formic acid is a cheap and convenient deuterium source. The nickel-catalyst showed high selectivity for monodefluorination and avoided competitive reactions such as multiple defluorination or hydrogenation.

Abstract
We disclose a Ni-catalyzed cyclization/alkylmetal interception reaction in which products are readily linearized to permit regiodefined alkene dicarbofunctionalization. This method offers a convenient route to access 1,2-oxasilolane heterocycles, 3-hydroxysilanes and 4-arylalkanols with the formation of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds at primary and secondary alkyl carbon centers. In this reaction, a silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bond functions as a detachable linker that can be delinked with several hydride, alkyl, aryl and vinyl nucleophiles to create profusely functionalized 3-hydroxysilanes. A silicon motif in the cyclic C(sp3)-Si-O construct in 1,2-oxasilolane heterocycles can also be selectively deleted by Pd-catalyzed hydrodesilylation affording Si-ablated linear alcohol products reminiscent of vicinal ethylene dicarbofunctionalization with C(sp3) and C(sp2) carbon sources.

Abstract
In contrast to the asymmetric synthesis of molecules with a single stereocenter or 1,2-adjacent stereocenters, the simultaneous construction of acyclic 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters via a single catalyst in an enantioselective and diastereoselective manner remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate the enantioselective and diastereodivergent construction of 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters through Ni-catalyzed reductive cyclization/cross-coupling of alkene-tethered aryl bromides and α-bromoamides, which represents the major remaining stereochemical challenge of cyclization/difunctionalization of alkenes. Using Ming-Phos as ligand, a diverse set of oxindoles containing 1,3-nonadjacent stereocenters were obtained with high levels of enantio- and diastereoselectivity. Mechanistic experiments and density functional theory calculations indicate that magnesium salt plays a key role in controlling the diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, another set of complementary stereoisomeric products were constructed from the same set of starting materials using Ph-Phox as ligand.

This approach enables the facile construction of a series of complex terminal 1,7-octadienes with an all-carbon quaternary center under mild reaction conditions, and the synthetic utility of the current method has been demonstrated by a gram scale synthesis. Preliminary mechanism investigations suggested that a radical pathway might not be involved in this transformation.

Abstract
Carbo- and heterocycles are frequently used as crucial scaffolds in natural products, fine chemicals, and biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds. Transition-metal-catalyzed cyclization of 1,6-enynes has emerged as a powerful strategy for constructing functionalized carbo- and heterocycles. Despite significant progress, the regioselectivity of alkyne functionalization is entirely substrate-dependent. And only exo-cyclization/cross-coupling products can be obtained, while endo-selective cyclization/cross-coupling remains elusive and still poses a formidable challenge. In this study, we disclose a nickel-catalyzed switchable arylation/cyclization of 1,6-enynes in which the nature of the ligand dictates the regioselectivity of alkyne arylation, while the electrophilic trapping reagents determine the selectivity of the cyclization mode. Specifically, using a commercially available 1,10-phenanthroline as a ligand facilitates trans-arylation/cyclization to obtain seven-membered ring products, while a 2-naphthyl-substituted bisbox ligand promotes cis-arylation/cyclization to access six-membered ring products. Diastereoselective cyclizations have also been developed for the synthesis of enantioenriched piperidines and azepanes, which are core structural elements of pharmaceuticals and natural products possessing important biological activities. Furthermore, experimental and density functional theory studies reveal that the regioselectivity of the alkyne arylation process is entirely controlled by the steric hindrance of the ligand; the reaction mechanism involves exo-cyclization followed by Dowd-Beckwith-type ring expansion to form endo-cyclization products.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed reductive difunctionalization of alkenes with alkyl halides is a powerful method for upgrading commodity chemicals into densely functionalized molecules. However, super stoichiometric amounts of metal reductant and the requirement of installing a directing group into alkenes to suppress the inherent β-H elimination bring great limitations to this type of reaction. We demonstrate herein that the difunctionalization of alkenes with two different alkyl halides is accessible via a radical-anion relay with Na2S2O4 as both reductant and sulfone-source. The Na2S2O4 together with the electron-shuttle catalyst is crucial to divert the mechanistic pathway toward the formation of alkyl sulfone anion instead of the previously reported alkylmetal intermediates. Mechanistic studies allow the identification of carbon-centered alkyl radical and sulfur-centered alkyl sulfone radical, which are in equilibrium via capture or extrusion of SO2 and could be converted to alkyl sulfone anion accelerated by iron electron-shuttle catalysis, leading to the observed high chemoselectivity.

Abstract
A vinylogous addition reaction of allyl aryl ketones with good yields and excellent regioselectivity catalyzed by squaramide catalysts has been developed. A series of chiral tertiary alcohols and bicyclic pyrrolidones could be synthesized in good to excellent yields, enantioselectivities, and diaseteroselectivities. Both experimental results and DFT calculations indicate that 1,2-addition reaction is favorable when the reaction is employed at a lower temperature, while the 1,4-addition/cyclization pathway is favorable when the reaction is employed at a higher temperature. Furthermore, the formation of compound 4 can potentially arise from either the 1,4-addition/cyclization pathway or retro-aldol reaction of compound 3, followed by subsequent 1,4-addition/cyclization.

Abstract
The Ni-catalyzed alkylboration of endocyclic olefins is a stereo- and regioselective approach for the synthesis of boron-containing compounds. We report a detailed density functional theory (DFT) study to elucidate the mechanism and origins of the stereo-, chemo-, and regioselectivity of alkylboration of endocyclic olefins enabled by nickel catalysis. The alkylboration proceeds via the migratory insertion of alkenes, β-H elimination of the Ni(II) complex, subsequent migratory insertion leading to a new Ni(II) complex, combined with an alkyl radical, and reductive eliminations. The electronic effects of the endocyclic olefins synergistically control the regioselectivity toward the C1- and C2-position boration. In C1-position boration, a more electron-deficient carbon atom tends to combine with an electron-rich -Bpin group and leads to C1-position boration products. The stereoselectivity is influenced by the solvent effect, and the interaction between the substrate and Ni-catalyzed groups, the low-polarity solvent 1,4-dioxane, and a favorable steric hindrance effect result in the cis-alkylboration product. Chemoselectivity toward 1,3-alkylboration results from the steric hindrance effects of the -Bpin group.

Abstract
The domino cyclization/coupling strategy is one of the most effective methods to produce cyclized and multi-functionalized compounds from olefins, which has attracted huge attention from chemists and biochemists especially for its considerable potential of enantiocontrol. Nowadays, more and more studies are developed to achieve difunctionalization of substituted olefins through an asymmetric domino intramolecular cyclization/cascade reaction, which is still an elegant choice to accomplish several synthetic ideas such as complex natural products and drugs. This review surveys the recent advances in this field through reaction type classification. It might serve as useful knowledge desktop for the community and accelerate their research.

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
A Ni-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck reaction has been developed to transform symmetrical 1,4-cyclohexadienes with attached aryl halides into phenanthridinone analogues containing quaternary stereocenters. Herein, we report important advances in reaction optimization enabling control of unwanted proto-dehalogenation and alkene reduction side products. Moreover, this approach provides direct access to six-membered ring heterocyclic systems bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters, which have been much more challenging to form enantioselectively with nickel-catalyzed Heck reactions. A wide range of substrates were demonstrated to work in good to excellent yields. Good enantioselectivity was demonstrated using a new synthesized chiral iQuinox-type bidentate ligand (L27). The sustainability, low price of nickel catalysts, and significantly faster reaction rate (1 h) versus that of a recently reported palladium-catalyzed reaction (20 h) make this process an attractive alternative.

Abstract
Herein, a nickel-catalyzed defluorinative three-component coupling of trifluoromethyl alkenes, internal alkynes, and organoboronic acids is presented. The protocol provides a highly efficient and selective route for the synthesis of structurally diverse gem-difluorinated 1,4-dienes under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that C-F bond activation proceeds probably through the oxidative cyclization of trifluoromethyl alkenes with Ni(0) species, sequential addition to alkynes, and β-fluorine elimination.

Abstract
ConspectusThe use of quaternary stereocenters during lead candidate optimization continues to grow because of improved physiochemical and pharmacokinetic profiles of compounds with higher sp3 fraction. Pd-catalyzed redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization involving carbopalladation of alkenes followed by nucleophilic-trapping σ-alkyl-palladium intermediates has been developed as an efficient method to construct quaternary stereocenters. However, the low chemoselectivity and air sensitivity of organometallic nucleophiles, as well as their low availability and accessibility, limit the scope of application of this elegant strategy. Recently, Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling has evolved into a privileged strategy to easily construct valuable C(sp3)-C bonds. Despite great progress, the enantioselective coupling of C(sp3) electrophiles still relies on activated or functionalized alkyl precursors, which are often unstable and require multiple steps to prepare. Therefore, Ni-catalyzed reductive difunctionalization of alkenes via selective cyclization/cross-coupling was developed. This strategy not only offers a robust and practical alternative for traditional redox-neutral alkene difunctionalization but also provides strategic complementarity for reductive cross-coupling of activated alkyl electrophiles. In this Account, we summarize the latest results from our laboratory on this topic. These findings mainly include our explorations in modulating the enantioselectivity and cyclization mode of reductive cyclization/cross-couplings.We will first discuss Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reductive cyclization/cross-coupling to construct valuable chiral heterocycles with quaternary stereocenters and focus on the effects of ligands, reductants, and additives and their roles in reductive cross-coupling. A wide range of electrophiles have been explored, including aryl halides, vinyl halides, alkynyl halides, gem-difluoroalkenes, CO2, trifluoromethyl alkenes, and cyano electrophiles. The synthetic potential of this approach has also been demonstrated in the synthesis of biologically active natural products and drug molecules. Second, we will detail how to tune the steric effects of nickel catalysts by modifying bipyridine ligands for regiodivergent cyclization/cross-couplings. Specifically, the use of bidentate ligands favors exo-selective cyclization/cross-coupling, while the use of a carboxylic acid-modified bipyridine ligand permits endo-selective cyclization/cross-coupling. We will also show how to activate the amide substrate by altering the electronic and steric properties of substituents on the nitrogen, thereby enabling the nucleophilic addition of aryl halides to amide carbonyls. Further investigation of ligand properties has led to tunable cyclization/cross-couplings (addition to the amide carbonyl vs 7-endo-cyclization) for the divergent synthesis of pharmacologically important 2-benzazepine frameworks. Finally, we serendipitously discover that modifying the ligands of nickel catalysts and changing the oxidation state of nickel can control the migratory aptitude of different groups, thus providing a switchable skeletal rearrangement strategy. This transformation is of high synthetic value because it represents a conceptually unprecedented new approach to C-C bond activation. Thus, this Account not only summarizes synthetic methods that allow the formation of valuable chiral heterocycles with quaternary stereocenters using a wide variety of electrophiles but also provides insight into the relationship between ligand structure, substrate, and cyclization selectivity.

Abstract
Despite paramount applications of chiral trifluoromethylated compounds in medicinal chemistry and materials science, limited strategies have been developed for catalytic asymmetric synthesis of such valuable fluorinated structures. Here, we report a nickel catalyzed enantioselective dicarbofunctionalization of inexpensive industrial chemical 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (TFP) with readily available tertiary alkyl and aryl iodides. The reaction overcomes the β-F elimination side reaction of TFP, and proceeds efficiently under mild reaction conditions. The protocol possesses advantages, such as synthetic convenience, high enantioselectivity, and excellent functional group tolerance, providing rapid and straightforward access to chiral trifluoromethylated compounds of medicinal interest. Strategies for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylated compounds remain scarce. Here, the authors report the nickel-catalyzed enantioselective dicarbofunctionalization of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

Abstract
Carbonyl-containing oxindoles are ubiquitous core structures present in many biologically active natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. Nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-acylation of alkenes using aryl anhydrides or alkanoyl chlorides as acyl sources is developed, providing 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ketone functionality at the 3-position. Moreover, nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-esterification of alkenes using chloroformate as ester sources is further developed, affording 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ester functionality at the 3-position. This strategy has the advantages of good yields and high functional group compatibility.

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
We herein report a Ni-catalyzed three-component cross-electrophile coupling of 1,3-dienes with aldehydes and aryl bromides using manganese metal as the reducing agent. This efficient protocol accomplishes dicarbofunctionalization of 1,3-dienes to synthesize diverse structural 1,4-disubstituted homoallylic alcohols by forming two new C-C bonds in one time. Mechanistic study suggests that an allyl-nickel(I) species is involved in the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Ligand-directed divergent synthesis can transform common starting materials into distinct molecular scaffolds by simple tuning different ligands. This strategy enables the rapid construction of structurally rich collection of small molecules for biological evaluation and reveals novel modes of catalytic transformation, representing one of the most sought-after challenges in synthetic chemistry. We herein report a Ni-catalyzed ligand-controlled tunable cyclization/cross-couplings for the divergent synthesis of pharmacologically important 2-benzazepine frameworks. The bidentate ligand facilitates the nucleophilic addition of the aryl halides to the amide carbonyl, followed by 1,4-acyl transfer and cross-coupling to obtain 2-benzazepin-5-ones and benzo[c]pyrano[2,3-e]azepines. The tridentate ligand promotes the selective 7-endo cyclization/cross-coupling to access to 2-benzazepin-3-ones. The protocol operates under mild reaction conditions with divergent cyclization patterns that can be easily modulated through the ligand backbone.

Abstract
We report herein a palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization/carbonylation to access ester-functionalized azaindolines, applying formates as a convenient carbonyl source. All four azaindoline isomers were constructed, exhibiting good functional group compatibility. On this basis, modifying the starting tether on the aminopyridine led to furoazaindolines via an intramolecular reductive cyclization after the palladium-catalyzed process.

Abstract
Construction of challenging and important all-carbon quaternary centers has received growing attention. Herein, with oxalates as activating groups for tertiary alcohols, we report photoredox-catalyzed gem-difluoroallylation to construct all-carbon quaternary centers enabled by efficient tertiary radical addition to α-trifluoromethyl alkenes. This transformation shows good functional group tolerance for both α-trifluoromethyl alkenes and oxalates. Moreover, this strategy is also successfully applied to the synthesis of monofluoralkenes from the corresponding electron-rich gem-difluoroalkenes and cesium tertiary alkyl oxalates under modified conditions.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of allylic acetates and gem-difluorovinyl tosylate is presented, which first achieves allylic gem-difluoroolefins via C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-electrophile coupling. In addition, this protocol was performed under mild reaction conditions, affording a variety of allylic gem-difluorovinyl arenes in moderate to good yields. Moreover, both linear and branched allylic acetate could produce a linear cross-coupling product exclusively. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction involves two different Ni(0)/Ni(II) catalytic cycles.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a nickel-catalyzed reductive deaminative arylalkylation of tethered alkenes with pyridinium salts as C(sp3) electrophiles. This two-component dicarbofunctionalization reaction enables the efficient synthesis of various benzene-fused cyclic compounds bearing all-carbon quaternary centers. The approach presented in this paper proceeds under mild conditions, tolerating a wide variety of functional groups and heterocycles. It has been used to functionalize complicated molecules at a late stage.

Abstract
An enantioselective nickel-catalyzed intramolecular reductive cross-coupling of C(sp2) electrophiles and cyano groups is reported. Enantioenriched CN-containing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters are assembled by desymmetrizing cyclization of aryl/alkenyl halide-tethered malononitriles. The use of an organic reductant, (EtO)2MeSiH, is crucial to the enantioselectivity and reactivity. Applications of the method are demonstrated through the synthesis of bioactive molecules and their cyanated analogues and the total synthesis of the natural product diomuscinone. This study exhibits the potential of desymmetrizing reductive coupling strategies to access structurally rigid and synthetically versatile molecules from readily available starting materials.

Abstract
We have developed a nickel-catalyzed desymmetric reductive cyclization/coupling of 1,6-dienes. The reaction provides an efficient method for constructing a chiral tertiary alcohol and a quaternary stereocenter by a single operation. The method has excellent diastereoselectivity and high enantioselectivity, a broad substrate scope, as well as good tolerance of functional groups. Preliminary mechanism studies show that alkyl nickel(I) species are involved in the reaction.
