Abstract
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-bound ortho-quinodimethane, served as a nucleophile, has occupied an important position for constructing various all-carbon or heterocyclic compounds and attracted increasing attention for the functionalization of benzylic carbon of aromatic aldehydes, whereas the mechanistic studies on the generation and transformations of dienolate intermediate are rare. In the present study, the mechanism of activation/transformation of aldehyde catalyzed by NHC was theoretically studied using the density functional theory (DFT) method. Based on the calculations, the nucleophilic addition process is the stereoselectivity-determining step with RS-configured product being generated preferentially. Furthermore, non-covalent index (NCI) and atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analyses have been performed to disclose the origin of stereoselectivity, by which the larger number and stronger weak interactions are the key for stabilizing the low-energy transition state and thus leading to the stereoselectivity inducing.

Abstract
An Et3N-catalyzed cascade [3 + 2]-annulation of β-oxo-acrylamides with cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines or sulfamate-derived imines is developed under mild reaction conditions, which provides a concise and efficient route to access valuable sultam- or sulfamidate-fused imidazolidinone derivatives in good to excellent yields (80-95% yields) with excellent diastereoselectivities (>20:1 drs). The current protocol features atom economy, a transition-metal-free process, and broad functional group tolerance. Moreover, the asymmetric variant of the [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction was achieved in the presence of diphenylethanediamine or quinine-based bifunctional squaramide organocatalysts C-1 and C-11, giving the corresponding chiral polycyclic imidazolidinones in 68-90% yields with 25-94% ees and >20:1 drs in all cases.

Abstract
Over the recent decades, due to the special electronic characteristics and diverse reactivities, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has received significant interest in organocatalyzed reactions. The formation of Breslow intermediates by NHC can convert into acyl anion equivalent, enolates, homoenolate, acyl azolium, and vinyl enolate etc., and the cycloaddition reactions of these species has attracted lots of attention. In this review, we focus on the summry of the development of NHC-activation of carbonyl carbon (or imine carbon) in situ, α-, β-, γ-, and beyond, and the cycloaddition reaction of these species.

Abstract
The present study reports an asymmetric NHC-catalyzed formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition of heterocyclic alkenes containing a polarized double bond with an azolium-dienolate intermediate generated from α-bromo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes without external oxidation of the Breslow intermediate. Heterocyclic cyclohexenones were produced in good isolated yields (typically about 90%) with good stereochemical outcomes (in most cases, dr > 20/1, and ee = 70-99%). The synthetic utility of the protocol was exemplified by the scope of heterocyclic alkenes.

Abstract
An efficient Michael/aldol/ring-opening cascade reaction of cyclobutanones with chalcones has been developed. This protocol employs inexpensive potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) as a promoter and enables an efficient synthesis of densely substituted cyclohex-3-ene-carboxylic acids in high yields with high diastereoselectivities, which are difficult to prepare through conventional approaches. The significant advantages of this methodology include transition-metal-free conditions, readily available starting materials, wide scope and high atom economy.

Abstract
Tuning diastereoselectivity is a great challenge in asymmetric catalysis for the inherent stereochemical bias of the substrates. Here, we report a diastereodivergent asymmetric Mannich reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines with ketones catalyzed by a bispidine-based chiral amine catalyst, in which additional water switches the diastereoselectivity efficiently. Both chiral anti- and syn-benzosultams with potential anti-HIV-1 activity are obtained in excellent yields and good to excellent ee values. Control experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were applied to study the diastereodivergent mechanism, which reveal that the diastereodivergent catalysis should be state-determined, and the water reverses the energies of states to realize the diastereodivergency. The findings are quite new and might inspire more diastereodivergent asymmetric synthesis. A diastereodivergent asymmetric Mannich reaction of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines with ketones is realized by employing bispidine-based chiral amine as catalyst and additional water switching the diastereoselectivity.![]()

Abstract
Although numerous chiral pyrazolones with a six-membered spirocyclic center at the C4 position have been developed, the asymmetric construction of six-membered oxa-spiropyrazolones is still a challenging task in organic synthesis. Herein, we describe the [4 + 2] annulation of cyclobutanones and pyrazoline-4,5-diones for the efficient synthesis of δ-lactone-fused spiropyrazolone derivatives with generally high yields and good enantioselectivities under mild conditions. The successful scale-up synthesis and further transformation of the final product highlight the practicality and reliability of this reaction.

Abstract
Redox-neutral carbon-carbon (C-C) bond activation and functionalization strategies of cyclopropanols that give metallo homoenolate have offered merits to construct a range of useful β-functionalized ketones in an inverse-polarity fashion. Discovery and identification of oxidative C-C activation reactions of cyclopropanols that generate metallo enolate-homoenolate would provide an opportunity to afford α,β-difunctionalized ketones. We report catalytic, net oxidative C-C activation, and silylation of cyclopropanols with traceless acetal directing groups under consecutive Ir and Rh catalysis in regio-, stereo-, and chemo-selective fashion. In detail, Ir-catalyzed hydrosilylation of cyclopropyl acetates provides the acetal directing group in quantitative yield. Rh-catalyzed proximal C-C silylation of the resulting cyclopropyl silyl acetal produces the metallo enolate-homoenolate equivalent, dioxasilepine, which uniquely holds an interconnected β-silyl moiety and Z-vinyl acetal. Upon sequential treatment of a silaphile that removes the acetal directing group and electrophile, the seven-membered silicon-containing heterocycle, serving as the ketone α,β-dianion equivalent, delivers α,β-difunctionalized ketones. Scope of the hitherto unexplored reactivity of cyclopropanols toward net oxidative C-C silylation and the versatility of the resulting dioxasilepines were demonstrated. These include late-stage, net oxidative C-C silylation of biologically relevant molecules and facile production of a range of α,β-difunctionalized ketones. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the C-C activation harnessing the electron-rich Wilkinson-type catalyst is likely the turnover-determining step and a Rh-π interaction is the key to the efficient metal insertion to the proximal C-C bond in cyclopropanols.

Abstract
Azolium cumulenolates are a special type of intermediates in N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis. They contain elongated linear structures with three contiguous C=C bonds and sterically unhindered α-carbon atoms. These structural features make it difficult to develop enantioselective reactions for these intermediates. Here we disclose the first carbene-catalyzed highly enantioselective addition reactions of azolium cumulenolates. The reaction starts with alkynals as the precursors for azolium cumulenolate intermediates that undergo enantioselective addition to activated ketones. From the same set of substrates, both allene and spirooxindole products can be obtained with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The allene moieties in our optically enriched products carry rich reactivities and can be transformed to diverse molecules. The spirooxindole scaffolds in our products are important structural motifs in natural products and medicines.

Abstract
Singlet nucleophilic carbenes (SNCs) containing only one heteroatom donor remain underutilized in chemical synthesis. We recently discovered that visible-light-induced SNC intermediates can be trapped by fluorinated ketones via 1,2-carbonyl addition to afford benzoin-type products. This discovery represents a rare example of nucleophilic carbenes reacting with ketones and delivers an efficient, user-friendly, and scalable process for accessing fluorinated tertiary alcohol derivatives driven only by light circumventing the use of exogenous catalysts or additives.

Abstract
N-heterocyclic carbene/copper-cocatalyzed [4 + 3] annulation of salicylaldehydes with aziridines was developed, giving the corresponding 1,4-benzoxazepinones in good yields with exclusive regioselectivity. Copper serves as a Lewis acid to activate the small strained aziridines, and the formation of NHC-salicylaldehyde adduct plays an important role in improving the regioselectivity.

Abstract
This article reviews synthetic transformations involving cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond of a four-membered ring, with a particular focus on the examples reported during the period from 2011 to the end of 2019. Most significant is the progress of catalytic reactions involving oxidative addition of carbon-carbon bonds onto transition metals or β-carbon elimination of transition metal alkoxides. When they are looked at from synthetic perspectives, they offer unique and efficient methods to build complex natural products and structures that are difficult to construct by conventional methods. On the other hand, β-scission of radical intermediates has also attracted increasing attention as an alternative elementary step to cleave carbon-carbon bonds. Its site-selectivity is often complementary to that of transition metal-catalyzed reactions. In addition, Lewis acid-mediated and thermally induced ring-opening of cyclobutanone derivatives has garnered renewed attention. On the whole, these examples demonstrate unique synthetic potentials of structurally strained four-membered ring compounds for the construction of organic skeletons.

Abstract
The synthetic potential of imines as electrophiles or as a source of nucleophilic coupling partner in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis for the synthesis of various nitrogen heterocycles and functionalized amines is highlighted in this Feature Article. Electrophilic imines are suitable candidates for intercepting the NHC-derived acyl anions, homoenolate equivalents, and (di)enolates for the synthesis of α-amino ketones and a variety of lactam derivatives. Moreover, enamines generated from imines bearing α-hydrogen could be trapped with α,β-unsaturated acylazoliums for the synthesis of functionalized dihydropyridinones. NHCs are also useful for the umpolung of imines for the generation of aza-Breslow intermediates thus leading to the synthesis of indoles, quinolines, dihydroquinoxalines etc. A concise account of the diverse reactivity of imines in NHC catalysis has been presented.

Abstract
This work reveals ambident nucleophilic reactivity of imidazolium cations towards carbonyl compounds at the C2 or C4 carbene centers depending on the steric properties of the substrates and reaction conditions. Such an adaptive behavior indicates the dynamic nature of organocatalysis proceeding via a covalent interaction of imidazolium carbenes with carbonyl substrates and can be explained by generation of the H-bonded ditopic carbanionic carbenes.

Abstract
A ring-opening/alkyne-carbonyl metathesis sequence of alkyne-tethered cyclobutanones catalyzed by AgSbF6 is realized for the first time to furnish multisubstituted naphthyl ketones under mild conditions. A range of substrates decorated with various substituents at different positions were all well accommodated. Preliminary mechanistic studies show that silver salt acted as a Lewis acid to facilitate both C-C cleavage of the cyclobutanone moiety and the subsequent metathesis between C═O and C≡C bonds.

Abstract
Highly enantioselective ring-opening/cycloaddition reactions of cyclobutenones were achieved by employing chiral N,N'-dioxide/metal complexes as the catalysts. The Diels-Alder type cycloaddition with (E)-alkenyloxindoles yielded spirocyclohexaneoxindoles with excellent results. Meanwhile, a hetero-Diels-Alder process occurred with (E)-dioxopyrrolidines to afford spiropyrrolidinone-dihydropyranone derivatives.

Abstract
The principle of vinylogy states that the electronic effects of a functional group in a molecule are possibly transmitted to a distal position through interposed conjugated multiple bonds. As an emblematic case, the nucleophilic character of a π-extended enolate-type chain system may be relayed from the legitimate α-site to the vinylogous γ, ε, ..., ω remote carbon sites along the chain, provided that suitable HOMO-raising strategies are adopted to transform the unsaturated pronucleophilic precursors into the reactive polyenolate species. On the other hand, when "unnatural" carbonyl ipso-sites are activated as nucleophiles (umpolung), vinylogation extends the nucleophilic character to "unnatural" β, δ, ... remote sites. Merging the principle of vinylogy with activation modalities and concepts such as iminium ion/enamine organocatalysis, NHC-organocatalysis, cooperative organo/metal catalysis, bifunctional organocatalysis, dicyanoalkylidene activation, and organocascade reactions represents an impressive step forward for all vinylogous transformations. This review article celebrates this evolutionary progress, by collecting, comparing, and critically describing the achievements made over the nine year period 2010-2018, in the generation of vinylogous enolate-type donor substrates and their use in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A regioselective synthesis of general applicability has been designed for the one-pot preparation of 2,3-disubstituted-cyclobutenones from iodoalkynes through cyclobutenylation, Suzuki CC coupling, and ketone formation. This one-pot methodology has been applied to the selective synthesis of an orally active cyclooxygenase II inhibitor. Furthermore, the obtained cyclobut-2-en-1-ones were used as synthons in several transformations, such as, the preparation of β-lactams, phthalazines, cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones, and cyclopent-3-en-1-ones.

Abstract
A highly diastereo- and enantioselective ring-opening/cycloaddition reaction of cyclobutenones with 2-hydroxyacetophenones or salicylaldehyde was achieved by employing a chiral N,N'-dioxide-scandium(III) complex as the catalyst. It provided various 3-phenylvinyl-4-hydroxy-dihydrocoumarins in good yields (up to 92%), high enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee), and excellent diastereoselectivities (>19:1 dr). Moreover, a possible catalytic cycle was proposed based on the control experiments and previous reports.

Abstract
To understand the mechanism and origin of the stereoselectivity of the [3 + 2] annulation reaction between a carboxylic ester and an isatin generating spirooxindole lactone catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out. DFT results indicate that the catalytic cycle begins with the coupling of the catalyst with benzotriazole ester, followed by α-deprotonation to produce the enolate intermediate. The subsequent 1,4-proton transfer affords the homoenolate intermediate. The next crucial step is the stereoselective C-C bond formation. Then proton transfer takes place leading to the formation of the lactone intermediate. Finally, the elimination of the catalyst furnishes the final product. The presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) dramatically accelerates the proton transfer step. More importantly, HOBt has a non-negligible impact on stereoselective C-C bond formation, and the SR-configured product is the major stereoisomer of the annulation product, which is in good agreement with the experimental observations. The differential π⋯π stacking, C-H⋯π, lone pair (LP)⋯π and repulsion interactions are found to be responsible for the stereoselectivity. The obtained mechanistic insights should provide valuable information for understanding the important roles of the NHC catalyst and HOBt additive and be helpful for designing better NHC catalysts for this kind of reaction.

Abstract
The mechanism and origin of stereoselectivities in N-heterocyclic carbine (NHC)-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 3-bromoenals and isatin N-Boc ketimines have been studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Various possible reaction pathways were examined and analyzed. Our calculation results reveal that the catalytic cycle can be characterized by six steps: nucleophilic attack of a catalyst on 3-bromoenal (step I); [1,2]-proton transfer (step II); addition to the other reactant isatin N-Boc ketimine (step III); debromination (step IV); intramolecular cycloaddition concerted with hydrogen-elimination (step V) and elimination of the NHC catalyst (step VI). For step II, besides the direct [1,2]-proton transfer, the mediator (base and water)-assisted proton transfer has been investigated, and the DFT results show that the 2H2O cluster-mediated proton transfer is most energy favorable. The carbon-carbon bond formation step (step III) is calculated to be the stereoselectivity-determining step and the S-configuration product is the predominant product, which are in good agreement with the experimental observations. The mechanistic insights gained in this work should be helpful for other NHC-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
We report a redox-neutral, catalytic C-C activation of cyclopropyl acetates to produce silicon-containing five-membered heterocycles in a highly region-and chemoselective fashion. The umpolung α-selective silylation leading to dioxasilolanes is opposed to contemporary β-selective C-C functionalization protocols of cyclopropanols. Lewis base activation of dioxasilolanes as α-silyl carbinol equivalents undergoes the unconventional [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to form tertiary alcohols. Notably, mechanistic studies indicate that an electrophilic metal-π interaction harnessing highly fluorinated Tp (CF 3 ) 2 Rh(nbd) catalyst permitted a low-temperature C-C activation.
