Abstract
Isomerization of epoxides into versatile allylic alcohols is an atom-economical synthetic method to afford vicinal bifunctional groups. Comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to elucidate the complex mechanism of a bimetallic Ti/Co-catalyzed selective isomerization of epoxides to allyl alcohols by examining several possible pathways. Our results suggest a possible mechanism involving (1) radical-type epoxide ring opening catalyzed by Cp2Ti(III)Cl leading to a Ti(IV)-bound β-alkyl radical, (2) hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) catalyzed by the Co(II) catalyst to form the Ti(IV)-enolate and Co(III)-H intermediate, (3) protonation to give the alcohols, and (4) proton abstraction to form the Co(I) species followed by electron transfer to regenerate the active Co(II) and Ti(III) species. Moreover, bimetallic catalysis and two-state reactivity enable the key rate-determining HAT step. Furthermore, a subtle balance between dispersion-driven bimetallic processes and entropy-driven monometallic processes determines the most favorable pathway, among which the monometallic process is energetically more favorable in all steps except the vital hydrogen-atom transfer step. Our study should provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding of bimetallic catalysis.

Abstract
We report here "sandwich"-diimine copper complex-catalyzed trifluoroethylation and pentafluoropropylation of unactivated C(sp3 )-H bonds in alkyl esters, halides, and protected amines by employing CF3 CHN2 and CF3 CF2 CHN2 reagents. Reactions proceed in dichloromethane solvent at room temperature. Identical C-H functionalization conditions and stoichiometries are employed for generality and convenience. Selectivities for C-H insertions are higher for compounds possessing stronger electron-withdrawing substituents. Preliminary mechanistic studies point to a mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium forming a "sandwich"-diimine copper-CF3 CHN2 complex followed by rate-determining loss of nitrogen affording the reactive copper carbene. It reacts with trifluoromethyldiazomethane about 6.5 times faster than with 1-fluoroadamantane explaining the need for slow addition of the diazo compound.

Abstract
![]()
Herein we disclose a catalytic synthesis of cycloalkanols
that
harnesses the potential of N2O as an oxygen transfer agent
onto sp3-hybridized carbons. The protocol is distinguished
by its mild conditions and wide substrate scope, thus offering an
opportunity to access carbocyclic compounds from simple precursors
even in an enantioselective manner. Preliminary mechanistic studies
suggest that the oxygen insertion event occurs at an alkylnickel species
and that N2O is the O transfer reagent.

Abstract
The classical Pummerer rearrangement of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylaryl sulfoxide with trifluoracetic anhydride (TFAA) affords the S , O -acetal efficiently. In the presence of trifluoracetic acid (TFA) as the co-solvent, the S , O -acetal can regenerate reactive thionium intermediate of Pummerer rearrangement. When employing arenes as nucleophiles, this strategy produces corresponding 1-thiyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl arenes with excellent yields under metal-free conditions.

Abstract
We report herein a facile synthetic method for converting unactivated (hetero)aryl electrophiles into β-fluoroethylated (hetero)arenes via nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-couplings. This coupling reaction features the involvement of FCH2 CH2 radical intermediate rather than β-fluoroethyl manganese species which provides effective solutions to the problematic β-fluoride side eliminations. The practical value of this protocol is further demonstrated by the late-stage modification of several complex ArCl or ArOH-derived bioactive molecules.
