Abstract
Cycloheptenones are widespread in natural products and bioactive molecules. An efficient and convenient NaH-mediated Cope Rearrangement of doubly activated vinylcyclopropanes is reported for the synthesis of cyclohepten-4-ones. These flexible intramolecular reactions were applicable to a wide range of substrates and could be performed on gram scale. The derivatization of the product leads to short and highly efficient synthesis of some useful functional molecules.

Abstract
The detailed mechanisms of Ni-catalyzed ligand-controlled cyclization/cross-coupling of o-bromobenzenesulfonyl acrylamide (1a) with trifluoromethyl alkene were investigated by DFT calculations. The computational results support a single-electron reduction of NiII precatalyst to give BrNiIL species, which would react with 1a via oxidative addition to afford the (Ar)NiIIILBr2 complex. The subsequent cyclizations did not proceed until (Ar)NiIIILBr2 was reduced to the key (Ar)NiIL complex. For the bpy-involving reaction, the subsequent steps include nucleophilic attack to the carbonyl carbon atom, N-C bond breaking, intramolecular migratory insertion, as well as concerted C-C cross-coupling and β-F elimination. While the ligand of terpyridine promotes the 7-endocyclization followed by stepwise migratory insertion and β-F elimination to afford 2-benzazepine 2,5-dione. For both reactions, a theoretical study implied that the most favorable mechanism involved a NiI-NiIII-NiI catalytic cycle. The origins of the chemoselectivity, coupled with the factors responsible, were addressed.

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
Transition metal-catalyzed [4 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of in situ generated ene/yne-ene-allenes (from ene/yne-ene propargyl esters) and carbon monoxide (CO) gives the [4 + 2 + 1] cycloadducts rather than [2 + 2 + 1] cycloadducts. Investigating the mechanism of this [4 + 2 + 1] reaction and understanding why the [2 + 2 + 1] reaction does not compete and the role of the allene moiety in the substrates are important. This is also helpful to guide the future design of new [4 + 2 + 1] cycloadditions. Reported here are the kinetic and computed studies of the [4 + 2 + 1] reactions of ene-ene propargyl esters and CO. A quantum chemical study (at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)//BMK level) revealed that the [4 + 2 + 1] reaction includes four key steps, which are 1,3-acyloxy migration (rate-determining step), oxidative cyclization, CO migratory insertion, and reductive elimination. The allene moiety in the substrates is critical for providing additional coordination to the rhodium center in the final step of the catalytic cycle, which in turn favors the reductive elimination transition state in the [4 + 2 + 1] rather than in the [2 + 2 + 1] pathway. The CO insertion step in the [4 + 2 + 1] reaction, which could occur through either the UP (favored here) or DOWN CO insertion pathway, has also been deeply scrutinized, and some guidance from this analysis has been provided to help the future design of new [4 + 2 + 1] reactions. Quantum chemical calculations have also been applied to explain why [4 + 2] and [4 + 1] cycloadditions do not happen and how trienes as side products for some substrates are generated.

Abstract
The current work focuses on the DFT calculation of the rational mechanism and catalytic activity of the gold(i)-catalyzed isotetradehydro-Diels–Alder cycloaddition of cyanamides and enamides to substituted 2,6-diaminopyridines. IPrAuCl is used as a model catalyst to catalyze cyanamide and enynamide reactants with different substituents in DCM as a research system. DFT data indicates that the catalytic cycle starts from the triple bond coordination between the catalyst's gold cation and the enamide to obtain the gold π-complex, and the cyanamide attacks the alkynyl carbon atom from different directions to generate two reaction channels of five-membered and six-membered heterocycles, respectively. The calculation results show that the 2,6-diaminopyridine compounds produced by this catalytic reaction have lower activation energy and higher reactivity, that is, the pyridine skeleton structure can be easily obtained under mild reaction conditions. At the same time, electron-withdrawing substituents in the reactants are more helpful for the reaction. In addition to being in good agreement with the experimental data, the calculated results also provide an important contribution to the further understanding of the mechanism of such reactions. The current work focuses on the DFT calculation of the rational mechanism and catalytic activity of the gold(i)-catalyzed isotetradehydro-Diels–Alder cycloaddition of cyanamides and enamides to substituted 2,6-diaminopyridines.![]()
