Abstract
Organofluorines have a broad range of industrial applications, such as pharmaceuticals, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), solar cells, textiles, and construction coatings, and are used in peptidomimetics, surfactants, refrigerants, anesthetics, and agrochemicals. Among them are versatile monofluoroalkenes that play a crucial role in medicinal and synthetic chemistry. The synthetic strategies for this class of molecules are limited, and prior efforts frequently suffered from poor atom- and step-economies. As a surrogate pathway for traditional cross-coupling transformations, transition metal (TM)-catalyzed C-H direct α-fluoroalkenylation overcomes these obstacles and provides straightforward techniques to access monofluoroalkenes. Nevertheless, substrate scope is still a challenge for catalysis, where gem-bromofluoroalkene synthons are applicable with electronically biased substrates such as azoles, while gem-difluoroalkene-based strategies are limited to substrates containing N-based directing groups. Herein, we review the cutting-edge fluoroalkenylation research for direct synthesis of monofluoroalkenes achieved during the last decade (2013-2023). This review is divided into two main parts: the first part discusses TM-catalyzed direct α-fluoroalkenylation via the merging of C-H activation and C(sp2)-Br cleavage strategies using gem-bromofluoroalkenes, and the second part describes the same reaction, albeit with C(sp2)-F cleavage of highly explored gem-difluoroolefins. Our review surveys all previously reported monofluoroalkenes in this research area, including their preparation techniques, stereoselectivity, and yield percentages. Furthermore, optimal conditions, reactant scope, mechanistic investigations, synthetic applications, benefits, and drawbacks of each presented methodology are critically discussed.

Abstract
A new approach to ring-opening polymerization (ROP) based on C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond cleavage is reported. This process is based on the ability of Pd to promote both the β-carbon elimination of a bifunctional cyclobutanol precursor and the C-C coupling process with the resulting Pd-alkyl intermediate. Consequently, novel polyketone materials are obtained. Owing to the modular synthesis of the used cyclobutanol monomers, the present ROP reaction allows the introduction of substitution patterns in the polymeric chain that are not accessible by current polyketone synthesis methodologies. We have explored in detail the initiation, propagation, and termination steps of this new polymerization process.

Abstract
A Pd(II)-catalyzed tandem reaction of aliphatic amides with vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) was accomplished by merging C(sp3)-H and C-C activation. The reaction of VCP revealed alkenylation/cyclization, followed by ring opening via C-C cleavage, delivering vinyl γ-lactams with (E)-selectivity. The role of ligands, site-selectivity, functional group diversity, mechanistic insight, and synthetic utilities are important practical features.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed annulations of four-membered rings via C-C activation are powerful tools to construct complex fused and bridged ring systems. Despite significant progress in (4+1), (4+2) and (4+4) annulations, the (4+3) annulation remains unexplored. Herein, we develop an asymmetric Rh-catalyzed intramolecular (4+3) annulation of α-arylalkene-tethered benzocyclobutenols for the synthesis of dihydrofuran-annulated dibenzocycloheptanols with two discontinuous chiral carbon centers via a C-C and C-H activation cascade. The reaction features excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities and 100 % atom economy, and is applicable to late-stage modification of complex molecules.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the unexpected 2-fold Csp3-Csp3 bond cleavage suffered by cyclobutanols in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 and promoted by the bulky biaryl JohnPhos ligand. Overall, the sequential cleavage of a strained and an unstrained Csp3-Csp3 bond leads to the formal [2 + 2]-retrocyclization products, namely, styrene and acetophenone derivatives. This procedure might enable the use of cyclobutanols as masked acetyl groups, resisting harsh conditions in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The facile carbon atom abstraction reaction by [(iPr3P)Ni]5H6 (1) with various terminal alkenes to give [(iPr3P)Ni]5H4(μ5-C) (2) occurs via a common highly reactive intermediate [(iPr3P)Ni]5H4 (3), which was isolated by the reaction of 1 with norbornene. Temperature dependent 1H and 31P{1H} NMR chemical shifts of 3 are consistent with a thermally populated triplet excited state only 2 kcal mol-1 higher energy than the diamagnetic ground state. Complex 3 catalyzes the dimerization of norbornene to stereoselectively provide exclusively (Z) anti-(bis-2,2'-norbornylidene).

Abstract
First-principles calculations were carried out to study the structural and electronic properties of hydrocarbon chains of self-assembled monolayers with hydrogen dissociation. It was found that the incoming hydrogen could lead to the formation of H2 molecules by stripping the nearby hydrogen atoms in the chains and thereby leave the neighboring carbon atoms to be free radicals. Two parallel hydrocarbon chains with dangling bonds can form a direct C-C bond, i.e., cross-linking happens between the two chains, which is ascribed to a charge accumulation in the cross-linking region. The polymerization of short molecules into long hydrocarbon chains through a different cross-linking mode is also discussed.

Abstract
A widely appreciated principle is that all reactions are fundamentally reversible. Observing reversible transition metal-catalysed reactions, particularly those that include the cleavage of C-C bonds, is more challenging. The development of palladium- and nickel-catalysed carboiodination reactions afforded access to the cis and trans diastereomers of the iodo-dihydroisoquinolone products. Using these substrates, an extensive study investigating the reversibility of C-C bond formation using a simple palladium catalyst was undertaken. Herein we report a comprehensive investigation of reversible C-C bond formation using palladium catalysis employing diastereomeric neopentyl iodides as the starting point. It was shown that both diastereomers could be converted to a common product under identical catalytic conditions. A combination of experimental and computational studies were used to probe the operative mechanism. A variety of concepts key to understanding the process of reversible C-C bond formations were investigated, including the effect of electronic and steric parameters on the C-C bond-cleavage step.

We report a Pd-catalyzed
route to heterocycles bearing a tetrasubstituted
alkene fragment. Our approach merges the intramolecular carbopalladation
of tethered alkynes with an alkylation step produced by the C–C
cleavage of cyclobutanol derivatives. An alkenyl-Pd(II) intermediate
has been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction studies.
Interestingly, the nature of the tethering alkynyl chain influences
the E/Z stereochemistry of the alkenyl
fragment in the functionalized heterocycles.

Abstract
A palladium catalyzed reaction of cycloalkanecarboxamides and diazomalonates or bis(phenylsulfonyl)diazomethane has been developed. The reaction proceeds via carbene migratory insertion and cascade C-C cleavage pathways. Cycloalkanecarboxamides with four to seven membered rings are applicable in the transformation. A series of ring opening products were prepared with moderate yields. The finding provides valuable clues for the development of new reactions involving carbene migratory insertion and the cleavage of unstrained C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds.

Abstract
In this article, we advance Rh-catalyzed hydrothiolation through the divergent reactivity of cyclopropenes. Cyclopropenes undergo hydrothiolation to provide cyclopropyl sulfides or allylic sulfides. The choice of bisphosphine ligand dictates whether the pathway involves ring-retention or ring-opening. Mechanistic studies reveal the origin for this switchable selectivity. Our results suggest the two pathways share a common cyclopropyl-Rh(III) intermediate. Electron-rich Josiphos ligands promote direct reductive elimination from this intermediate to afford cyclopropyl sulfides in high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Alternatively, atropisomeric ligands (such as DTBM-BINAP) enable ring-opening from the cyclopropyl-Rh(III) intermediate to generate allylic sulfides with high enantio- and regiocontrol.
