Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed selective cleavage of the distal C-C bond and proximal C-C bond of keto-vinylidenecyclopropanes by altering the sterically bulky phosphine ligands has been realized. The proximal C-C bond cleavage can be achieved by using dtbpf as a phosphine ligand, affording bicyclic products containing dihydrofuran skeletons in good yields along with broad substrate scope. In proximal C-C bond cleavage reactions, the eight-membered cyclic palladium intermediate plays a key role in the reaction. The [3 + 2] cycloaddition of keto-vinylidenecyclopropanes through the distal C-C bond cleavage can be effectively accomplished with t BuXPhos as a phosphine ligand and ZnCl2 as an additive, delivering bicyclic products containing tetrahydrofuran skeletons in good yields. The further transformation of these bicyclic products has been demonstrated, and the reaction mechanisms of two different C-C bond cleavage reactions have been investigated by control experiments and DFT calculations.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed ring-opening cyclization of (E) & (Z)-ene-vinylidenecyclopropanes has been developed via an intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition process in the presence of a sterically bulky biaryl phosphine ligand, stereoselectively affording fused cis- & trans-bicyclo[4.3.0] skeletal products in good yields with a broad substrate scope and good functional tolerance. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed on the basis of previous work and the DFT calculations.

Abstract
Pyrroles, furans, and thiophenes are important structural motifs in biologically active substances, pharmaceuticals and functional materials. In this paper, we disclose an efficient synthetic strategy for the rapid construction of multisubstituted pyrroles, furans, and thiophenes via NXS mediated desulfonylative/dehydrogenative cyclization of vinylidenecyclopropanes (VDCPs). The advantages of this method include wide substrate range, high efficiency and synthetic usefulness of the heterocyclic products under metal-free and mild conditions. The derivatization of pyrrole products and the preparation of functional molecules successfully demonstrated the synthetic potential of the products as platform molecules. The reaction mechanism has been investigated on the basis of control experiments and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Developing new transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric cycloadditions for the synthesis of five-membered carbocycles (FMCs) is a research frontier in reaction development due to the ubiquitous presence of chiral FMCs in various functional molecules. Reported here is our discovery of a highly enantioselective intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition of yne-alkylidenecyclopropanes (yne-ACPs) to bicyclo[3.3.0]octadiene and bicyclo[4.3.0]nonadiene molecules using a cheap Co catalyst and commercially available chiral ligand (S)-Xyl-BINAP. This reaction avoids the use of precious Pd and Rh catalysts, which are usually the choices for [3+2] reactions with ACPs. The enantiomeric excess in the present reaction can be up to 92 %. Cationic cobalt(I) species was suggested by experiments as the catalytic species. DFT calculations showed that this [3+2] reaction starts with oxidative cyclometallation of alkyne and ACP, followed by ring opening of the cyclopropyl (CP) group and reductive elimination to form the cycloadduct. This mechanism is different from previous [3+2] reactions of ACPs, which usually start from CP cleavage, not from oxidative cyclization.

Abstract
Design of a unique reaction pathway in transition-metal-catalyzed 1,6-enynes cyclization to construct valuable synthetic motifs is a significant challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report a Ru(II)-catalyzed formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition as an efficient method to prepare unprecedented bicyclo[3.3.0]octenes from readily available (E)-1,6-enynes. Mechanistic studies based on the deuterium labeling experiments and the DFT calculation disclose a reasonable mechanistic pathway, where a ruthenacyclopentene generated by an ene-yne oxidative cyclization undergoes a sequential ß-hydride elimination and intramolecular hydroruthenation to form a ruthenacyclohexene, producing the desirable bicyclo[3.3.0]octenes.
