Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed spirocyclopropanation of gem-difluoroalkenes with π-allylpalladium 1,4-dipoles has been successfully developed, which gives a powerful and straightforward synthetic strategy for the construction of novel gem-difluorinated spirocyclic compounds, 6,6-difluoro-5-oxa/azaspiro[2.4]heptanes. The scope of gem-difluoroalkenes can be extended to styrenes, acrylic esters, and acrylamides to realize the installment of various functional groups and different heteroatoms on the spirocyclic skeletons, which could be converted to valuable compounds with potential biological activity. The mechanistic investigations revealed the competition between spirocyclopropanation and β-F elimination of π-allylpalladium zwitterionic intermediates.

Abstract
Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) constitute the newest generation of fluorocarbon refrigerants and foam-blowing agents due to their reduced global warming potential vs their saturated analogues. To identify new synthetic routes to HFOs, we show that reactions of bulky Ni(0) phosphine and -NHC complexes with vinylidene difluoride (VF2) afford μ-fluoro-1,1,3-trifluorobut-3-enyl Ni complexes. Moreover, addition of triisopropylsilane allows for reductive elimination of the reduced product─2,4,4-trifluoro-1-butene─demonstrating the Ni-catalyzed hydrodefluorodimerization of VF2. Accompanying DFT calculations identify the T-shaped nickelacyclopentane intermediate that spontaneously undergoes selective intramolecular β-F (vs β-H) elimination.

Abstract
Among the carbo-difunctionalization of alkynes, the stereoselective dialkylation of alkynes is the most challenging transformation due to associated competitive side reactions and thus remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report the first Ni-catalyzed regio- and trans-selective cross-dialkylation of alkynes with two distinct alkyl bromides to afford olefins with two aliphatic substituents. The reductive conditions circumvent the use of organometallic reagents, enabling the cross-dialkylation process to occur at room temperature from two different alkyl bromides. This operationally simple protocol provides a straightforward and practical access to a wide range of stereodefined dialkylated olefins with broad functional group tolerance from easily available starting materials. A direct reductive cross-dialkylation of alkynes is achieved to afford trans-dialkylated olefins using two distinct alkyl bromides. The reaction undergoes with exclusive chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity without the use of organometallic reagents.![]()

Abstract
A drastic increase in catalyst turnover number (TON) was accomplished in the cross-metathesis of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and vinyl ethers. Under a continuous flow of TFE, catalyst Ru7, which contains a seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, reached a TON of 4100; this is 2 orders of magnitude higher than the highest hitherto reported value. Mechanistic studies revealed that the expanded NHC successfully destabilizes the stable intermediates with a difluorocarbene structure, which strongly promotes the reaction.

Abstract
The asymmetric synthesis of 2,2-difluorinated tetrahydrofurans was accomplished via enantioselective formal [3+2] cycloaddition catalyzed by palladium. The asymmetric reaction between gem-difluoroalkenes and racemic vinyl epoxides or vinylethylene carbonates resulted in the formation of enantioenriched 2,2-difluorotetrahydrofurans with an enantioselectivity up to 98 %. Notably, the reaction used the readily available (R)-BINAP as the ligand at a low loading and yielded a wide variety of difluorinated products in moderate to high yields. Both chiral diastereomers could be obtained in a single sequence.

Abstract
A modular synthetic method, involving a hydrothiolation, silylation, and fluoroalkylation, for the construction of highly functionalized fluoroalkyl sulfides has been developed. The use of aprotic polar solvents enables the additive-free chemoselective hydrothiolation of tetrafluoroethylene, trifluorochloroethylene, and hexafluoropropene with various thiols. The stepwise functionalization reactions convert the hydrothiolated intermediates into the tetrafluoroethyl sulfides in high efficiency. The method avoids the use of the environmental pollutant Halon-2402, which was employed as a building block in a reported synthetic route.

Abstract
![]()
The eight-membered metallacycles
arising from the insertion of
1 equiv of alkyne into the Pd–C bond of ortho-metalated homoveratrylamine and phentermine can further react with
alkenes to give two different types of mononuclear complexes depending
on the nature of the olefin. When terminal alkenes (styrene and ethyl
acrylate) are used, a mixture of the anti/syn η3-allyl Pd(II) complexes are isolated,
which evolve slowly to the syn isomers by heating
the mixtures appropriately. These η3-allyl Pd(II)
complexes do not react with CO or weak bases, but when they are treated
with a strong base, such as KOtBu, they afford Pd(0) and
the functionalized starting phenethylamines containing a 1,3-butadienyl
substituent in an ortho position. When 2-norbornene
was used instead of terminal alkenes, the strained olefin inserts
into the alkenyl Pd(II) complex to afford a 10-membered norbornyl
palladium(II) complex, in which the new C,N-chelate ligand is coordinated to the metal through an
additional double bond, occupying three coordination positions. The
reactivity of these norbornyl complexes depends on the substituents
on the inserted alkenyl fragment, and thus they can further react
with (1) KOtBu, to give Pd(0) and a tetrahydroisoquinoline
nucleus containing a tricyclo[3.2.1]octyl ring, or (2) CO and TlOTf,
to afford Pd(0) and amino acid derivatives or the corresponding lactones
arising from an intramolecular Michael addition of the CO2H group to the α,β-unsaturated ester moiety. Crystal
structures of every type of compound have been determined by X-ray
diffraction studies.

Abstract
The development of straightforward synthesis of regio- and stereodefined alkenes with multiple aliphatic substituents under mild conditions is an unmet challenge owing to competitive β-hydride elimination and selectivity issues. Herein, we report the nickel-catalyzed intermolecular cross-dialkylation of alkynes devoid of directing or activating groups to afford multiple aliphatic substituted alkenes in a syn-selective fashion at room temperature. The combination of two-electron oxidative cyclometallation and single-electron cross-electrophile coupling of nickel enables the syn-cross-dialkylation of alkynes at room temperature. This reductive protocol enables the sequential installation of two different alkyl substituents onto alkynes in a regio- and stereo-selective manner, circumventing the tedious preformation of sensitive organometallic reagents. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated by efficient synthesis of multi-substituted unfunctionalized alkenes and diverse transformations of the product.

Abstract
gem-Difluorinated alkenes are readily accessible building blocks that can undergo functionalization to provide a broad spectrum of fluorinated and non-fluorinated products. Herein, we review recent (since 2017) transition metal-catalyzed transformations of these specialized alkenes and summarize general reactivity patterns of these reactions. Many transition metal-catalyzed reactions undergo net C-F bond functionalization reactions to deliver monofluorinated products. These reactions typically proceed through β-fluoro alkylmetal intermediates that readily eliminate a β-fluoride to deliver monofluoroalkene products. A second series of reactions exploit coinage metal fluorides to add F- to the gem-difluorinated alkene, and further functionalization delivers trifluoromethyl-containing products. In stark contrast, few transition metal-catalyzed reactions proceed in net "fluorine-retentive processes" to deliver difluoromethylene-based products.

Abstract
A highly efficient method for controllable double CF2-insertion into pentafluorophenylcopper species using TMSCF3 as difluoromethylene source has been developed. The newly generated fluoroalkylcopper(i) species, C6F5CF2CF2Cu, shows good reactivity towards a myriad of structurally diverse aryl, heteroaryl and alkenyl iodides. This protocol is easy to handle, ready to scale up and applicable for the synthesis of relative complex molecules, thus providing a convenient method for facile access to tetrafluoroethylene-bridged structures.

Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of Ni(cod)2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and PCy3 (Cy = cyclohexyl), the cross-tetramerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), ethylene, alkynes, and aldehydes leads to a variety of fluorine-containing enone derivatives. This reaction is the first example of a highly selective cross-tetramerization between four different unsaturated compounds. Stoichiometric reactions revealed that the present reaction involves partially fluorinated five- and seven-membered nickelacycles as key reaction intermediates.
