Abstract
Reactions of α-pyrones with oxacyclic allenes in Diels-Alder trappings are described. We investigate regioselectivity trends and perform competition experiments to assess the influence of structural and electronic features on relative reaction rates. We also demonstrate the stereospecific trapping of an oxacyclic allene, which proceeds in high optical yield. This study provides insight into strained cyclic allene reactivity, as well as new synthetic tools for the rapid construction of complex, heterocyclic scaffolds.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed transannulation reactions triggered by the extrusion of small gaseous molecules have emerged as a powerful strategy for the efficient construction of heterocyclic compounds. However, their use in asymmetric synthesis remains challenging because of the difficulty in controlling stereo- and regioselectivity. Herein, we report the first nickel-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of N-N atropisomers by the denitrogenative transannulation of benzotriazones with alkynes. A broad range of N-N atropisomers was obtained with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the nickel-catalyzed reaction mechanism and enantioselectivity control.

Abstract
We report the strain-induced [2 + 2] cycloadditions of cyclic allenes for the assembly of highly substituted cyclobutanes. By judicious choice of trapping agent, complex scaffolds bearing heteroatoms, fused rings, contiguous stereocenters, spirocycles, and quaternary centers are ultimately accessible. Moreover, we show that the resulting cycloadducts can undergo thermal isomerization. This study provides an alternative strategy to photochemical [2 + 2] cycloadditions for accessing highly functionalized cyclobutanes, while validating the use of underexplored strained intermediates for the assembly of complex architectures.

Abstract
Strained cyclic tetrylones are important synthons due to various synthetic applications. Connecting two cyclic tetrylone rings through a single shared quaternary group 14 element atom to form a spirocyclic molecule has been unexplored both theoretically and experimentally. The formation of a spirocyclic motif has been a synthetic challenge. In contrast, the reaction of amidinato disilicon(I) 1, (Me3P)2SiCl4, and KC8 afforded π-delocalized spiro[3.3]heptasila-2,6-diylidone2 and tetrasilacyclobutadiene byproducts 3 and 4. Compound 2 is the smallest spirocyclic tetrylone derivative, which is composed of a σ-type lone pair and delocalized π bond in each all-silicon spirocyclic ring. The electronic property is supported by its coordination with a W(CO)5 moiety.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalyzed allylic substitution reactions of alkenes are among the most efficient methods for synthesizing diene compounds, driven by the inherent preference for an inner-sphere mechanism. Here, we present a demonstration of an outer-sphere mechanism in Rh-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction of simple alkenes using gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes as allyl surrogates. This unconventional mechanism offers an opportunity for the fluorine recycling of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes via C - F bond cleavage/reformation, ultimately delivering allylic carbofluorination products. The developed method tolerates a wide range of simple alkenes, providing access to secondary, tertiary fluorides and gem-difluorides with 100% atom economy. DFT calculations reveal that the C - C bond formation goes through an unusual outer-sphere nucleophilic substitution of the alkenes to the allyl-Rh species instead of migration insertion, and the generated carbon cation then forms the C - F bond with tetrafluoroborate as a fluoride shuttle.

Abstract
We present comprehensive computational and experimental studies on the mechanism of an asymmetric photoredox/Pd dual-catalytic reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) homocoupling of allylic electrophiles. In stark contrast to the canonical assumption that photoredox promotes bond formation via facile reductive elimination from high-valent metal-organic species, our computational analysis revealed an intriguing low-valent allylpalladium pathway that features tandem operation of Pd(0/II/I)-Pd(0/II/I/II) cycles. Specifically, we propose that (i) the photoredox/Pd system enables the in situ generation of allyl radicals from low-valent Pd(I)-allyl species, and (ii) effective interception of the fleeting allyl radical by the chiral Pd(I)-allyl species results in the formation of an enantioenriched product. Notably, the cooperation of the two pathways highlights the bifunctional role of Pd(I)-allyl species in the generation and interception of transient allyl radicals. Moreover, the mechanism implies divergent substrate-activation modes in this homocoupling reaction, suggesting a theoretical possibility for cross-coupling. Combined, the current study offers a novel mechanistic hypothesis for photoredox/Pd dual catalysis and highlights the use of low-valent allylpalladium as a means to efficiently intercept radicals for selective asymmetric bond constructions.

Abstract
1,2-Cyclohexadienes generated under mild fluoride-mediated desilylative conditions undergo efficient intramolecular [2+2] trapping, providing tricyclic alkylidene cyclobutanes with complete diastereoselectivity for the cis-fused products. Pendent styrenes or electron-deficient olefins can trap simple 1,2-cyclohexadienes or their oxygenated counterparts, with 14 substrates being disclosed. Reactions proceed at ambient temperature using just cesium fluoride in up to 91 % yield, and the necessary precursors are easily accessed from substituted 2-bromocyclohexenones. Multiple synthetic routes have been developed to install the appropriate functional groups required for [2+2] trapping.

Abstract
We report an approach to the core of the manzamine alkaloid keramaphidin B that relies on the strain-promoted cycloaddition of an azacyclic allene with a pyrone trapping partner. The cycloaddition is tolerant of nitrile and primary amide functional groups and can be complemented with a subsequent retro-Diels-Alder step. These efforts demonstrate that strained cyclic allenes can be used to build significant structural complexity and should encourage further studies of these fleeting intermediates.

Abstract
We herein developed a palladium-catalyzed reaction of [1,2,3]-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones with DABAL-Me3 [bis(trimethylaluminum)-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane adduct], a cheap, stable, and solid organoaluminum reagent. In the presence of Pd(OAc)2/XantPhos as a commercially available catalyst, [1,2,3]-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones underwent denitrogenative coupling with DABAL-Me3 to afford a wide array of N-aryl amides derived from ortho-methylated carboxylic acids. Under the same catalytic conditions, ortho-ethylation of [1,2,3]-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones could also be achieved by using triethylaluminum.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes are a class of in situ-generated fleeting intermediates that, despite being discovered more than 50 years ago, has received significantly less attention from the synthetic community compared to related strained intermediates. Examples of trapping strained cyclic allenes that involve transition metal catalysis are especially rare. We report the first annulations of highly reactive cyclic allenes with in situ-generated π-allylpalladium species. By varying the ligand employed, either of two isomeric polycyclic scaffolds can be obtained with high selectivity. The products are heterocyclic and sp3-rich and bear two or three new stereocenters. This study should encourage the further development of fragment couplings that rely on transition metal catalysis and strained cyclic allenes for the rapid assembly of complex scaffolds.

Abstract
Small rings that contain allenes are unconventional transient compounds that have been known since the 1960s. Despite being discovered around the same time as benzyne and offering a number of synthetically advantageous features, strained cyclic allenes have seen relatively little use in chemical synthesis. We report a concise total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid lissodendoric acid A, which hinges on the development of a regioselective, diastereoselective, and stereospecific trapping of a fleeting cyclic allene intermediate. This key step swiftly assembles the azadecalin framework of the natural product, allows for a succinct synthetic endgame, and enables a 12-step total synthesis (longest linear sequence; 0.8% overall yield). These studies demonstrate that strained cyclic allenes are versatile building blocks in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
A reaction intermediate is a key molecular entity that has been used in explaining how starting materials converts into the final products in the reaction, and it is usually unstable, highly reactive, and short-lived. Extensive efforts have been devoted in identifying and characterizing such species via advanced physico-chemical analytical techniques. As an appealing alternative, trapping experiments are powerful tools in this field. This trapping strategy opens an opportunity to discover multicomponent reactions. In this work, we report various highly diastereoselective and enantioselective four-component reactions (containing alcohols, diazoesters, enamines/indoles and aldehydes) which involve the coupling of in situ generated intermediates (iminium and enol). The reaction conditions presented herein to produce over 100 examples of four-component reaction products proceed under mild reaction conditions and show high functional group tolerance to a broad range of substrates. Based on experimental and computational analyses, a plausible mechanism of this multicomponent reaction is proposed.

Abstract
Strained intermediates such as cyclic alkynes and allenes are most commonly utilized in nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions, but have seen increased use in a third area of reactivity: metal-mediated transformations. The merger of strained intermediates and metal catalysis has enabled rapid access to complex, polycyclic systems. Following a discussion of relevant landmark studies involving metals and strained intermediates, this article highlights recent advances in transition metal-mediated transformations from our laboratory. Specifically, this includes the use of arynes in the synthesis of decorated organometallic complexes, and the utilization of cyclic allenes to access enantioenriched heterocycles. Moreover, the broad applicability of such transformations, and exciting future areas of research are discussed.

Abstract
As a potential fluorinated synthon, there have been only limited reports on fluorinated allene synthesis and applications due to concerns about their stability. Here, we developed a nickel-catalyzed reductive defluorination of iodo allyl gem-difluorides to afford allenyl monofluorides under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance, which were easily converted to other C-F bond compounds, such as alkyl and alkenyl fluorides. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that monofluoroallenes were yielded by β-F elimination of the alkenyl C-Ni intermediates from the oxidative addition of C-I bonds to a nickel(0) catalyst, while zinc regenerates the catalyst and closes the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Transient strained cyclic intermediates, such as strained cyclic allenes, are useful building blocks for the synthesis of structurally and stereochemically complex scaffolds. Trappings of strained cyclic allenes are thought to occur primarily through either two or one electron processes. Regarding the latter, diradical intermediates have been invoked in (2 + 2) cycloadditions and (3 + 2) nitrone cycloadditions. The present study questions if a monoradical pathway could exist for strained cyclic allene reactivity, as examined in the reaction of 1,2-cyclohexadiene and TEMPO radical. Our findings suggest the viability of this monoradical pathway.

Abstract
The mechanism of the Ru(II)-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov formal hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes and enynes by hydrazones has been elucidated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results indicate that the C-C bond formation proceeds through a highly polar outer-sphere transition state (TS) stabilized by the THF solvent, not the ordered inner-sphere TS as originally proposed. The regioselectivity for 1,2-anti-Markovnikov addition is primarily due to the formation of an extensively π-conjugated intermediate after the nucleophilic attack on the 1-position of the diene. The stability of this intermediate means that nucleophilic attack at the 1-position is able to utilize the outer-sphere pathway, while attacks on all other positions of the diene must proceed through more crowded and less-favorable inner-sphere TSs. We show that the electronics of substituents on the hydrazone and the diene have a significant impact on the C-C formation barrier, which rationalizes the limitations on the substrate scope. The preferred coordination sphere around Ru(II) and the rigidity of the reacting substrates lead to a sterically demanding TS geometry, which explains the sensitivity of the reaction to the ligand size.

Abstract
The asymmetric denitrogenative cycloaddition has emerged as a powerful tool to build chiral aza-heterocyles. However, only one example of asymmetric denitrogenative cycloaddition of benzotriazole with unsaturated hydrocarbons has been explored so far, because the ring-opening of benzotriazole to generate α-imino metal carbenoid species is a thermodynamically unfavorable process. We herein report an efficient asymmetric denitrogenative cycloaddition of benzotriazoles with cyclic and acyclic 1,3-dienes enabled by Pd and chiral sulfonamide phosphine ligand. A variety of substituted hexahydrocarbazoles and indolines were delivered in good yields with high ee values. Interestingly, a pair of enantiomers could be obtained with the use of Xu1 and PC2 with the same absolute configuration. The synthetic utilities of the optically active hexahydrocarbazoles were also showcased.

Abstract
Arynes, strained cyclic alkynes, and strained cyclic allenes were validated as plausible intermediates in the 1950s and 1960s. Despite initially being considered mere scientific curiosities, these transient and highly reactive species have now become valuable synthetic building blocks. This Perspective highlights recent advances in the field that have allowed access to structural and stereochemical complexity, including recent breakthroughs in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
We report Pd-catalyzed annulations of in situ generated strained cyclic allenes. This methodology employs aryl halides and cyclic allene precursors as the reaction partners in order to generate fused heterocyclic products. The annulation proceeds via the formation of two new bonds and an sp3 center. Moreover, both diastereo- and enantioselective variants of this methodology are validated, with the latter ultimately enabling the rapid enantioselective synthesis of a complex hexacyclic product. Studies leveraging transition metal catalysis to intercept cyclic allenes represent a departure from the more common, historical modes of cyclic allene trapping that rely on nucleophiles or cycloaddition partners. As such, this study is expected to fuel the development of reactions that strategically merge transition metal catalysis and transient strained intermediate chemistry for the synthesis of complex scaffolds.

Abstract
Strained cyclic allenes, first discovered in 1966 by Wittig and co-workers, have recently emerged as valuable synthetic building blocks. Previous experimental investigations, and computations reported here, demonstrate that the Diels-Alder reactions of furans and pyrroles with 1,2-cyclohexadiene and oxa- and azaheterocyclic analogs proceed with endo selectivity. This endo selectivity gives the adduct with the allylic saturated carbon of the cyclic allene endo to the diene carbons. The selectivity is very general and useful in synthetic applications. Our computational study establishes the origins of this endo selectivity. We analyze the helical frontier molecular orbitals of strained cyclic allenes and show how secondary orbital and electrostatic effects influence stereoselectivity. The LUMO of carbon-3 of the allene (C-3 is not involved in primary orbital interactions) interacts in a stabilizing fashion with the HOMO of the diene in such a way that the carbon of the cyclic allene attached to C-1 favors the endo position in the transition state. The furan LUMO, allene HOMO interaction reinforces this preference. These mechanistic studies are expected to prompt the further use of long-avoided strained cyclic allenes in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most powerful methods for the preparation of single enantiomer compounds. However, the chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of the relatively inert unsaturated group in substrates possessing multiple unsaturated bonds remains a challenge. We herein report a protocol for the highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated enynes while keeping the alkynyl bond intact. Mechanism studies indicate that the accompanying Zn2+ generated from zinc reduction of the CoII complex plays a critical role to initiate a plausible CoI /CoIII catalytic cycle. This approach allows for the highly efficient generation of chiral propargylamines (up to 99.9 % ee and 2000 S/C) and further useful chemical transformations.

Abstract
o-Carboryne (1,2-dehydro-o-carborane) is a very useful synthon for the synthesis of a variety of carborane-functionalized molecules. With 1-Li-2-OTf-o-C2B10H10 as the precursor, o-carboryne undergoes an efficient [4 + 2] cycloaddition with various conjugated enynes, followed by a subsequent [2 + 2] cycloaddition at room temperature, generating a series of carborane-fused tricyclo[6.4.0.02,7]dodeca-2,12-dienes in moderate to high isolated yields. This reaction is compatible with many functional groups and has a broad substrate scope. A reactive carborane-fused 1,2-cyclohexadiene intermediate is involved, which is supported by experimental results and DFT calculations. This protocol offers a convenient strategy for the construction of complex carborane-functionalized tricyclics. An unprecedented tandem [4 + 2]/[2 + 2] cycloaddition of o-carboryne with enynes has been disclosed for the efficient synthesis of various carborane-fused tricyclics, in which a reactive carborane-fused 1,2-cyclohexadiene intermediate is involved.![]()

Abstract
Keto-substituted 1,2-cyclohexadienes were generated by base-mediated (KOt-Bu) elimination, and found to dimerize via an unprecedented formal hetero-Diels-Alder process, followed by hydration. These highly reactive cyclic allene intermediates were also trapped in Diels-Alder reactions by furan, 2,5-dimethylfuran, or diphenylisobenzofuran to afford cycloadducts with high regio- and diastereoselectivity, and could also be intercepted in a hetero-Diels-Alder process with enamine dienophiles. Endo/exo stereochemistry was unambiguously determined via X-ray crystallography in the case of nitrile-substituted 1,2-cyclohexadiene. DFT calculations indicate that the novel hetero-Diels-Alder processes observed with these allenes occur via a concerted asynchronous cycloaddition mechanism.
