Abstract
Chiral phosphorus ligands play a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis for the efficient synthesis of useful optically active compounds. They are largely categorized into two classes: backbone chirality ligands and P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands. Most of the reported ligands belong to the former class. Privileged ones such as BINAP and DuPhos are frequently employed in a wide range of catalytic asymmetric transformations. In contrast, the latter class of P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands has remained a small family for many years mainly because of their synthetic difficulty. The late 1990s saw the emergence of novel P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands with their superior enantioinduction ability in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Since then, numerous P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands have been synthesized and used in catalytic asymmetric reactions. This Review summarizes P-stereogenic phosphorus ligands reported thus far, including their stereochemical and electronic properties that afford high to excellent enantioselectivities. Examples of reactions that use this class of ligands are described together with their applications in the construction of key intermediates for the synthesis of optically active natural products and therapeutic agents. The literature covered dates back to 1968 up until December 2023, centering on studies published in the late 1990s and later years.

Abstract
This review introduces the synthetic organic chemical value of α-bromocarbonyl compounds with tertiary carbons. This α-bromocarbonyl compound with a tertiary carbon has been used primarily only as a radical initiator in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) reactions. However, with the recent development of photo-radical reactions (around 2010), research on the use of α-bromocarbonyl compounds as tertiary alkyl radical precursors became popular (around 2012). As more examples were reported, α-bromocarbonyl compounds were studied not only as radicals but also for their applications in organometallic and ionic reactions. That is, α-bromocarbonyl compounds act as nucleophiles as well as electrophiles. The carbonyl group of α-bromocarbonyl compounds is also attractive because it allows the skeleton to be converted after the reaction, and it is being applied to total synthesis. In our survey until 2022, α-bromocarbonyl compounds can be used to perform a full range of reactions necessary for organic synthesis, including multi-component reactions, cross-coupling, substitution, cyclization, rearrangement, stereospecific reactions, asymmetric reactions. α-Bromocarbonyl compounds have created a new trend in tertiary alkylation, which until then had limited reaction patterns in organic synthesis. This review focuses on how α-bromocarbonyl compounds can be used in synthetic organic chemistry.

Abstract
The 1,5-copper-catalyzed carboamination of vinylcyclopropanes is presented. A carbon-centered radical, formed upon reduction of an alkyl halide by Cu(I), adds across the alkene of a vinylcyclopropane, triggering ring opening to generate a benzylic radical, which, finally, undergoes copper-mediated amination to afford a homoallylic amine. The reaction occurs with outstanding regio- and good to very good diastereoselectivities. The scope of the reaction is demonstrated with respect to all three components: alkyl halide, vinylcyclopropane, and amine nucleophile. A total of 38 examples are presented with an average yield of 60%.

Abstract
With in-depth research on 1,2-difunctionalization, remote difunctionalization has garnered widespread attention for achieving multifunctionality. Herein, we report a strategy for achieving remote difunctionalization under mild conditions. This strategy exhibited good substrate suitability and functional group tolerance. In addition, the significance of this method is further evidenced by its successful application in scaling up and conducting additional transformations of target compounds. Mechanistic studies showed that a radical might be involved in this process.

Abstract
Despite recent interest in the development of iron-catalyzed transformations, methods that use iron-based catalysts capable of controlling the enantioselectivity in carbon-carbon cross-couplings are underdeveloped. Herein, we report a practical and simple protocol that uses commercially available and expensive iron salts in combination with chiral bisphosphine ligands to enable the regio- and enantioselective (up to 91:9) multicomponent cross-coupling of vinyl boronates, (fluoro)alkyl halides, and Grignard reagents. Preliminary mechanistic studies are consistent with rapid formation of an α-boryl radical followed by reversible radical addition to monoaryl bisphosphine-Fe(II) and subsequent enantioselective inner-sphere reductive elimination. From a broader perspective, this work provides a blueprint to develop asymmetric Fe-catalyzed multicomponent cross-couplings via the use of alkenes as linchpins to translocate alkyl radicals, modify their steric and electronic properties, and induce stereocontrol.

Abstract
Enol silyl ethers are versatile, robust, and readily accessible substrates widely used in chemical synthesis. However, the conventional reactivity of these motifs has been limited to classical two electron (2-e) enolate-type chemistry with electrophilic partners or as radical acceptors in one electron (1-e) reactivity leading, in both cases, to exclusive α-monofunctionalization of carbonyls. Herein we describe a mild, fast, and operationally simple one-step protocol that combines readily available fluoroalkyl halides, silyl enol ethers, and, for the first time, hetero(aryl) Grignard reagents to promote selective dicarbofunctionalization of enol silyl ethers. From a broader perspective, this work expands the synthetic utility of enol silyl ethers and establishes bisphosphine-iron catalysis as enabling technology capable of orchestrating selective C-C bond formations with short-lived α-silyloxy radicals with practical implications towards sustainable chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Catalytic, reductive C-C bond formation between alkenes and vinyl cyclopropane (VCP) through hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) is developed. Despite VCP's use as probes in radical-clock experiments, translation of this manifold into synthetic methods for accessing elusive C-C bonds remains largely unexplored. This work represents the first foray into this front where the high chemoselectivity of MHAT for alkene over VCP was pivotal for realizing the strategy. This method exhibits a broad scope, high functional group tolerance, and useful applications.

Abstract
Iron-bisphosphines have attracted broad interest as highly effective and versatile catalytic systems for two- and three-component cross-coupling strategies. While recent mechanistic studies have defined the role of organoiron(II)-bisphosphine species as key intermediates for selective cross-coupled product formation in these systems, mechanistic features that are essential for catalytic performance remain undefined. Specifically, key questions include the following: what is the generality of iron(II) intermediates for radical initiation in cross-couplings? What factors control reactivity toward homocoupled biaryl side-products in these systems? Finally, what are the solvent effects in these reactions that enable high catalytic performance? Herein, we address these key questions by examining the mechanism of enantioselective coupling between α-chloro- and α-bromoalkanoates and aryl Grignard reagents catalyzed by chiral bisphosphine-iron complexes. By employing freeze-trapped 57Fe Mössbauer and EPR studies combined with inorganic synthesis, X-ray crystallography, reactivity studies, and quantum mechanical calculations, we define the key in situ iron speciation as well as their catalytic roles. In contrast to iron-SciOPP aryl-alkyl couplings, where monophenylated species were found to be the predominant reactive intermediate or prior proposals of reduced iron species to initiate catalysis, the enantioselective system utilizes an iron(II)-(R,R)-BenzP* bisphenylated intermediate to initiate the catalytic cycle. A profound consequence of this radical initiation process is that halogen abstraction and subsequent reductive elimination result in considerable amounts of biphenyl side products, limiting the efficiency of this method. Overall, this study offers key insights into the broader role of iron(II)-bisphosphine species for radical initiation, factors contributing to biphenyl side product generation, and protocol effects (solvent, Grignard reagent addition rate) that are critical to minimizing biphenyl generation to obtain more selective cross-coupling methods.

Abstract
Phosphorodithioates are important substructures due to their great use in bioactive compounds and functional materials. A metal-free 1,5-addition of spirovinylcyclopropyl oxindoles have been developed by choosing P4S10 and alcohol as nucleophiles through the regioselective ring-opening of spirovinylcyclopropyl oxindoles. This method provides access to allylic organothiophosphates with high efficiency, wide functional group tolerance, good chemo- and regioselectivity, and E-selectivity. 1,3-Addition products were also prepared in high yield. Furthermore, the resulting organothiophosphates could be readily transformed into other allylic derivatives.

Abstract
The development of environmentally benign, inexpensive, and earth-abundant metal catalysts is desirable from both an ecological and economic standpoint. Certainly, in the past couple decades, iron has become a key player in the development of sustainable coupling chemistry and has become an indispensable tool in organic synthesis. Over the last ten years, organic chemistry has witnessed substantial improvements in efficient synthesis because of domino reactions. These protocols are more atom-economic, produce less waste, and demand less time compared to a classical stepwise reaction. Although iron-catalyzed domino reactions require a mindset that differs from the more routine noble-metal, homogenous iron catalysis they bear the chance to enable coupling reactions that rival that of noble-metal-catalysis. This review provides an overview of iron-catalyzed domino coupling reactions of π-systems. The classifications and reactivity paradigms examined should assist readers and provide guidance for the design of novel domino reactions.

Abstract
An iron-catalyzed regioselective dicarbofunctionalization of electron-rich alkenes is described. In particular, aryl- and alkyl vinyl ethers are used as effective linchpins to couple alkyl or (fluoro)alkyl halides and sp2-hybridized Grignard nucleophiles. Preliminary results demonstrate the ability to engage thioethers as linchpins and control enantioselectivity in these transformations, an area which is largely unexplored in iron-catalyzed three-component cross-coupling reactions.

Abstract
The radical 1,5-chloropentafluorosulfanylation of vinyl cyclopropanes (VCPs) initiated by Et3B/O2 affords allylic pentafluorosulfanyl/homoallylic chloride products through the ring-strain release of the cyclopropane. The VCP substitution pattern was investigated. The utility of this reaction was illustrated in post-transformation of the C═C bond by ozonolysis, giving access to valuable α-SF5 carbonyl compounds.

Abstract
Radical cascade cyclization reactions are highly attractive synthetic tools for the construction of polycyclic molecules in organic synthesis. While it has been successfully implemented in diastereoselective synthesis of natural products and other complex compounds, radical cascade cyclization faces a major challenge of controlling enantioselectivity. As the first application of metalloradical catalysis (MRC) for controlling enantioselectivity as well as diastereoselectivity in radical cascade cyclization, we herein report the development of a Co(II)-based catalytic system for asymmetric radical bicyclization of 1,6-enynes with diazo compounds. Through the fine-tuning of D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrins as the supporting ligands, the Co(II)-catalyzed radical cascade process, which proceeds in a single operation under mild conditions, enables asymmetric construction of multisubstituted cyclopropane-fused tetrahydrofurans bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers, including two all-carbon quaternary centers, in high yields with excellent stereoselectivities. Combined computational and experimental studies have shed light on the underlying stepwise radical mechanism for this new Co(II)-based cascade bicyclization that involves the relay of several Co-supported C-centered radical intermediates, including α-, β-, γ-, and ε-metalloalkyl radicals. The resulting enantioenriched cyclopropane-fused tetrahydrofurans that contain a trisubstituted vinyl group at the bridgehead, as showcased in several stereospecific transformations, may serve as useful intermediates for stereoselective organic synthesis. The successful demonstration of this new asymmetric radical process via Co(II)-MRC points out a potentially general approach for controlling enantioselectivity as well as diastereoselectivity in synthetically attractive radical cascade reactions.

Abstract
The first stereoconvergent Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was developed to afford enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes. An iron-based complex containing a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework was best to obtain enantioenriched 1,1-diarylalkanes from cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and benzylic chlorides. Enhanced yields were obtained when 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene was used as an additive, which is hypothesized to extend the lifetime of the iron-based catalyst. Exceptional enantioselectivities were obtained with challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chlorides.

Abstract
A visible-light-promoted photoredox/nickel protocol for the enantioselective three-component carboarylation of alkenes with tertiary and secondary alkyltrifluoroborates and aryl bromides is described. This redox-neutral protocol allows for facile and divergent access to a wide array of enantioenriched β-alkyl-α-arylated carbonyls, phosphonates, and sulfones in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities from readily available starting materials. We also report a modular and enantioselective synthesis of flurbiprofen analogs and piragliatin lead compound to demonstrate synthetic utility. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies were performed to gain insights into the mechanism and origin of chemo- and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Alkoxybenzenes and alkoxynaphthalenes, as nucleophiles, have drawn great attention from organic chemists over the decades. Due to their high ring strain, those particular classes of molecules are often used in synthesis by utilizing their properties to undergo facile Friedel-Crafts alkylations. Different isomeric and low or densely substituted alkoxybenzenes are used for synthesis according to the structure of the target molecule. Isomeric methoxybenzenes, are the most commonly used molecule in this regard. This review aims to comprehensively cover the instances of different alkoxy-benzenes/naphthalenes used as nucleophiles for ring opening.
