Abstract
Highly selective and direct electroreductive ring-opening carboxylation of epoxides with CO2 in an undivided cell is reported. This reaction shows broad substrate scopes within styrene oxides under mild conditions, providing practical and scalable access to important synthetic intermediate β-hydroxy acids. Mechanistic studies show that CO2 functions not only as a carboxylative reagent in this reaction but also as a promoter to enable efficient and chemoselective transformation of epoxides under additive-free electrochemical conditions. Cathodically generated α-radical and α-carbanion intermediates lead to the regioselective formation of α-carboxylation products.

Abstract
Cobalt-catalyzed cascade C-N and C-O bond formation of epoxides with hydrazones is described to furnish oxadiazines using air as an oxidant. The catalyst plays a dual role as a Lewis acid followed by a redox catalyst to accomplish the C-H/O-H cyclization. Optically active styrene oxide can be reacted enantiospecifically (>99% ee).

Abstract
Reactions of N,P-Ligands as Ph2 P(o-NMe2 C6 H4 ) (1 L), 2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 NHC(Ph)=NC6 H4 (o-PPh2 ) (2 L), and Ph2 PN(R)PPh2 (R=iPr (3 L), cyclo-C6 H11 (4 L), tBu (5 L), CH2 C4 H7 O (6 L)) each with dicobalt octacarbonyl produced complexes [1 LCo(CO)3 ]2 (1), [2 LCo(CO)(μ-CO)2 Co(CO)3 ] (2), [3 LCo(CO)3 ]+ [Co(CO)4 ]- (3), [3 LCo(CO)2 ]2 (4), [4 LCo(CO)2 ]2 (5), [5 LCo(CO)2 ]+ [Co(CO)4 ]- (6), and [6 LCo(CO)2 ]+ [Co(CO)4 ]- (7). Complexes 1-7 have all been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR and NMR spectroscopies, and elemental analysis. Catalytic tests on transformation of ethylene oxide (EO), CO and MeOH into methyl 3-hydroxypropionate (3-HMP) indicate that complexes 1-7 are active, where ion-pair complexes 3 and 6-7 behave more excellently (by achieving 88.4-93.6% 3-HMP yields) than the neutral species 1-2 and 4-5 (35.0-46.5% 3-HMP yields) when the reactions are all operated at 2 MPa CO pressure and 50 °C in MeOH solvent. Density functional theory (DFT) study by selecting 3 as a model suggests a cooperative catalytic reaction mechanism by [Co(CO)4 ]- and its counter cation [3 LCo(CO)3 ]+ . The cobalt-homonuclear ion-pair catalyzed hydroalkoxycarbonylation of EO is present herein.

Abstract
Due to their inherent ring strain and electrophilicity, epoxides are highly attractive building blocks for fundamental organic reactions. However, controlling the regioselectivity of disubstituted epoxide transformations is often particularly challenging. Most Lewis acid-mediated processes take advantage of intrinsic steric or electronic substrate bias to influence the site of nucleophilic attack. Therefore, the scope of many of these systems is frequently quite limited. Recent efforts to generate catalysts that can overcome substrate bias have expanded the synthetic utility of these well-known reactions. In this Perspective, we highlight various regioselective transformations of disubstituted epoxides, emphasizing those that have inspired the production of challenging, catalyst-controlled processes.

Abstract
Reactions facilitating inversion of alkene stereochemistry are rare, sought-after transformations in the field of modern organic synthesis. Although a number of isomerization reactions exist, most methods require specific, highly activated substrates to achieve appreciable conversion without side product formation. Motivated by stereoinvertive epoxide carbonylation reactions, we developed a two-step epoxidation/deoxygenation process that results in overall inversion of alkene stereochemistry. Unlike most deoxygenation systems, carbon monoxide was used as the terminal reductant, preventing difficult postreaction separations, given the gaseous nature of the resulting carbon dioxide byproduct. Various alkyl-substituted cis- and trans-epoxides can be reduced to trans- and cis-alkenes, respectively, in >99:1 stereospecificity and up to 95% yield, providing an alternative to traditional, direct isomerization approaches.

Abstract
A mild one-pot stereospecific synthetic route to highly functionalized imidazolidines and oxazolidines via SN2-type ring-opening of the corresponding activated aziridines and epoxides with amines followed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization with aldehydes has been developed. The methodology tolerates a variety of functional groups and furnishes the desired products in high yields (up to 92%) with excellent stereoselectivities (de, ee > 99%). Interestingly, imidazolidines were formed as the cis-isomers, whereas oxazolidines were produced as trans-isomers exclusively.
