Abstract
Achieving transition-metal-catalyzed reactions of diene-ynes/diene-enes and carbon monoxide (CO) to deliver [4 + 2 + 1] cycloadducts, rather than the kinetically favored [2 + 2 + 1] products, is challenging. Here, we report that this can be solved by adding a cyclopropyl (CP) cap to the diene moiety of the original substrates. The resulting CP-capped diene-ynes/diene-enes can react with CO under Rh catalysis to give [4 + 2 + 1] cycloadducts exclusively without forming [2 + 2 + 1] products. This reaction has a broad scope and can be used to synthesize useful 5/7 bicycles with a CP moiety. Of the same importance, the CP moiety in the [4 + 2 + 1] cycloadducts can act as an intermediate group for further transformations so that other challenging bicyclic 5/7 and tricyclic 5/7/5, 5/7/6, and 5/7/7 skeletons, some of which are widely found in natural products, can be accessed. The mechanism of this [4 + 2 + 1] reaction has been investigated by quantum chemical calculations, and the role of the CP group in avoiding the possible side [2 + 2 + 1] reaction has been identified, showing that the [4 + 2 + 1] is controlled by releasing the ring strain in the methylenecyclopropyl (MCP) group (about 7 kcal/mol) in the CP-capped dienes.

Abstract
Five- and six-coordinate cationic bis(phosphine) cobalt(III) metallacycle complexes were synthesized with the general structures, [(depe)Co(cycloneophyl)(L)(L')][BArF4] (depe = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane; cycloneophyl = [κ-C:C-(CH2C(Me)2)C6H4]; L/L' = pyridine, pivalonitrile, or the vacant site, BAr4F = B[(3,5-(CF3)2)C6H3]4). Each of these compounds promoted facile directed C(sp2)-H activation with exclusive selectivity for ortho-alkylated products, consistent with the selectivity of reported cobalt-catalyzed arene-alkene-alkyne coupling reactions. The direct observation of C-H activation by cobalt(III) metallacycles provided experimental support for the intermediacy of these compounds in this class of catalytic C-H functionalization reaction. Deuterium labeling and kinetic studies provided insight into the nature of C-H bond cleavage and C-C bond reductive elimination from isolable cobalt(III) precursors.

Abstract
![]()
A cycle of stoichiometric
elemental reactions defining the direct
arylation promoted by a redox-pair Rh(I)–Rh(III) is reported.
Starting from the rhodium(I)-aryl complex RhPh{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} (xant(PiPr2)2 = 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene),
the reactions include C–Cl oxidative addition of organic chlorides,
halide abstraction from the resulting six-coordinate rhodium(III)
derivatives, C–C reductive coupling between the initial aryl
ligand and the added organic group, oxidative addition of a C–H
bond of a new arene, and deprotonation of the generated hydride-rhodium(III)-aryl
species to form a new rhodium(I)-aryl derivative. In this context,
the kinetics of the oxidative additions of 2-chloropyridine, chlorobenzene,
benzyl chloride, and dichloromethane to RhPh{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} and the C–C reductive
eliminations of biphenyl and benzylbenzene from [RhPh2{κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]}]BF4 and [RhPh(CH2Ph){κ3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]}]BF4, respectively,
have been studied. The oxidative additions generally involve the cis
addition of the C–Cl bond of the organic chloride to the rhodium(I)
complex, being kinetically controlled by the C–Cl bond dissociation
energy; the weakest C–Cl bond is faster added. The C–C
reductive elimination is kinetically governed by the dissociation
energy of the formed bond. The C(sp3)–C(sp2) coupling to give benzylbenzene
is faster than the C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond
formation to afford biphenyl. In spite of that a most demanding orientation
requirement is needed for the C(sp3)–C(sp2) coupling than for the C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond formation, the energetic effort for the pregeneration of the
C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond is lower. As a result,
the weakest C–C bond is formed faster.

Abstract
The mechanism studies of transition-metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions
investigated using Density Functional Theory calculations in the recent ten years have been
reviewed. This review introduces the computational mechanism studies of Ni-, Pd-, Cu- and
some other metals (Rh, Ti and Zr)-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions and presents the
methodology used in these computational mechanism studies. The mechanisms of the transition-
metal-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions normally include three main steps: oxidative
addition; transmetalation; and reductive elimination or four main steps: the first oxidative
addition; reduction; the second oxidative addition; and reductive elimination. The ratelimiting
step is most likely the final reductive elimination step in the whole mechanism.
Currently, the B3LYP method used in DFT calculations is the most popular choice in the structural geometry
optimizations and the M06 method is often used to carry out single-point calculations to refine the energy values.
We hope that this review will stimulate more and more experimental and computational combinations and the
computational chemistry will significantly contribute to the development of future organic synthesis reactions.
