Abstract
Formaldehyde is a VOC gas that plays a key role in air pollution. To limit emissions into the environment, the utilization of this waste as a raw material is a promising way. In this work, the M06-L functional calculation was used to investigate the structure, electronic properties, and catalytic activity of group IIA metals (Be, Mg, and Ca) partial substitution on Cu-BTC paddlewheels for formaldehyde encapsulation and carbonyl-ene reaction with propylene. Formaldehyde is absorbed by the metal center of the paddlewheel via its oxygen atom. The adsorption of formaldehyde on the substituted metal sites increased as compared to the parent Cu-BTC which can facilitate formaldehyde to react with propylene. The adsorption free energies are predicted to be -15.1 (Be-Cu-BTC), -14.7 (Mg-Cu-BTC), and -14.5 (Ca-Cu-BTC) kcal mol-1, respectively. The substituted metal has a slight effect on the Lewis acidity of the Cu ion in the paddlewheel. The adsorption free energy of formaldehyde, similar to that found in the pristine Cu-BTC, is observed. For the carbonyl-ene reaction, the reaction is proposed via a single step involving the C-C bond formation between two reactants and one hydrogen of propylene methyl group moves to formaldehyde oxygen, simultaneously. It was found that the substituted metals do not affect the catalytic performance of the Cu center for this reaction. The activation energies for the reaction at the Cu center are in the range of 22.0-23.4 kcal mol-1, which are slightly different from Cu-BTC (21.5 kcal mol-1). Interestingly, the catalytic activity of this reaction on the substituted metal is greater than that on the Cu center. The catalytic activities are in the order Be-Cu-BTC (13.3 kcal mol-1) > Mg-Cu-BTC (15.9 kcal mol-1) > Ca-Cu-BTC (17.8 kcal mol-1). Among them, the Be site of the bimetallic Be-Cu-BTC paddlewheel is predicted as a promising candidate catalyst.

Abstract
The development of bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) catalysis has expanded cross-coupling chemistries by enabling the selective combination of any primary radical with any secondary or tertiary radical through a radical sorting mechanism1-8. Biomimetic9,10 SH2 catalysis can be used to merge common feedstock chemicals-such as alcohols, acids and halides-in various permutations for the construction of a single C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond. The ability to sort these two distinct radicals across commercially available alkenes in a three-component manner would enable the simultaneous construction of two C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds, greatly accelerating access to complex molecules and drug-like chemical space11. However, the simultaneous in situ formation of electrophilic and primary nucleophilic radicals in the presence of unactivated alkenes is problematic, typically leading to statistical radical recombination, hydrogen atom transfer, disproportionation and other deleterious pathways12,13. Here we report the use of bimolecular homolytic substitution catalysis to sort an electrophilic radical and a nucleophilic radical across an unactivated alkene. This reaction involves the in situ formation of three distinct radical species, which are then differentiated by size and electronics, allowing for regioselective formation of the desired dialkylated products. This work accelerates access to pharmaceutically relevant C(sp3)-rich molecules and defines a distinct mechanistic approach for alkene dialkylation.

Abstract
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (bVOCs), synthesised by plants, are important mediators of ecological interactions that can also undergo a series of reactions in the atmosphere. Ground-level ozone is a secondary pollutant generated through sunlight-driven reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and VOCs. Its levels have increased since the industrial revolution and reactions involving ozone drive many chemical processes in the troposphere. While ozone precursors often originate in urban areas, winds may carry these hundreds of kilometres, causing ozone formation to also occur in less populated rural regions. Under elevated ozone conditions, ozonolysis of bVOCs can result in quantitative and qualitative changes in the gas phase, reducing the concentrations of certain bVOCs and resulting in the formation of other compounds. Such changes can result in disruption of bVOC-mediated behavioural or ecological interactions. Through a series of gas-phase experiments using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS), we investigated the products and their yields from the ozonolysis of a range of ubiquitous bVOCs, which were selected because of their importance in mediating ecological interactions such as pollinator and natural enemy attraction and plant-to-plant communication, namely: (E)-β-ocimene, isomers of α and β-farnesene, α-terpinene and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one. New products from the ozonolysis of these compounds were identified, and the formation of these compounds is consistent with terpene-ozone oxidation mechanisms. We present the degradation mechanism of our model bVOCs and identify their reaction products. We discuss the potential ecological implications of the degradation of each bVOC and of the formation of reaction products.

Abstract
Single component flavin-dependent halogenases (FDHs) possess both flavin reductase and FDH activity in a single enzyme. We recently reported that the single component FDH AetF catalyzes site-selective bromination and iodination of a variety of aromatic substrates and enantioselective bromolactonization and iodoetherification of styrenes bearing pendant carboxylic acid or alcohol substituents. Given this inherent reactivity and selectivity, we explored the utility of AetF as catalyst for alkene and alkyne C-H halogenation. We find that AetF catalyzes halogenation of a range of 1,1-disubstituted styrenes, often with high stereoselectivity. Despite the utility of haloalkenes for cross-coupling and other applications, accessing these compounds in a stereoselective manner typically requires functional group interconversion processes, and selective halogenation of 1,1'-disubstituted olefins remains rare. We also establish that AetF and homologues of this enzyme can halogenate terminal alkynes. Mutagenesis studies and deuterium kinetic isotope effects are used to support a mechanistic proposal involving covalent catalysis for halogenation of unactivated alkynes by AetF homologues. These findings expand the scope of FDH catalysis and continue to show the unique utility of single component FDHs for biocatalysis.

Abstract
Anilines are core motifs in a variety of important molecules including medicines, materials and agrochemicals. We report a straightforward procedure that allows access to new chemical space of anilines via their para-C-H alkylation. The method utilizes commercially available catalytic H2 O ⋅ B(C6 F5 )3 and is highly selective for para-C-alkylation (over N-alkylation and ortho-C-alkylation) of anilines, with a wide scope in both the aniline substrates and alkene coupling partners. Readily available alkenes are used, and include new classes of alkene for the first time. The mild reaction conditions have allowed the procedure to be applied to the late-stage-functionalization of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including fenamic acids and diclofenac. The formed novel NSAID derivatives display improved anti-inflammatory properties over the parent NSAID structure.

Abstract
Securines and securamines are cytotoxic alkaloids that contain reactive alkene and heterocyclic residues embedded in skeletons comprising four to six oxidized rings. This structural complexity imparts a rich chemistry to the isolates but has impeded synthetic access to the structures in the nearly three decades since their isolation. We present a flexible route to eight isolates that exemplify the three skeletal classes of metabolites. The route proceeds by the modular assembly of the advanced azides 38 and 49 (13 steps, 6 to 10% yield), sequential oxidative photocyclizations, and late-stage functional group manipulations. With this approach, the targets were obtained in 17 to 19 steps, 12 to 13 purifications, and 0.5 to 3.5% overall yield. The structure of an advanced intermediate was elucidated by microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) analysis. The route will support structure-function and target identification studies of the securamines.

Abstract
Chlorine (Cl)-containing chemicals, including hydrogen chloride, generated during thermal degradation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and corresponding mixture impede the chemical recycling of PVC-containing plastic wastes. While upgrading plastic-derived vapors, the presence of Cl-containing chemicals may deactivate the catalysts. Accordingly, herein, catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis vapor prepared from a mixture of PVC and polyolefins is performed using a fixed-bed reactor comprising zeolites. Among the H-forms of zeolites (namely, ZSM-5, Y, β, and chabazite) used in this study, a higher yield of gas products composed of hydrocarbons with lower carbon numbers is obtained using H-ZSM-5, thus indicating further decomposition of the pyrolysis vapor to C1-C4 hydrocarbons on it. Although the formation of aromatic compounds is better on H-ZSM-5, product distributions can be adjusted by further modifying the acidic properties via the alteration of the Si/Al molar ratio, and maximum yields of C1-C4 compounds (60.8%) and olefins (64.7%) are achieved using a Si/Al molar ratio of 50. Additionally, metal ion exchange on H-ZSM-5 is conducted, and upgrading of PVC-containing waste-derived vapor to aromatic chemicals and small hydrocarbon molecules was successfully performed using Co-substituted H-ZSM-5. It reveals that the highest yield of gas products on 1.74 wt% cobalt (Co)-substituted H-ZSM-5 is acquired via the selection of an appropriate metal and metal ion concentration adjustment. Nevertheless, introduction of excess Co into the H-ZSM-5 surface decreases the cracking activity, thereby implying that highly distributed Co is required to achieve excellent cracking activity. The addition of Co also adjusted the acid types of H-ZSM-5, and more Lewis acid sites compared to Brønsted acid sites selectively produced olefins and naphthenes over paraffins and aromatics. The proposed approach can be a feasible process to produce valuable petroleum-replacing chemicals from Cl-containing mixed plastic wastes, contributing to the closed loops for upcycling plastic wastes.

Abstract
Alkenes are indispensable feedstocks in chemistry. Functionalization at both carbons of the alkene-1,2-difunctionalization-is part of chemistry curricula worldwide1. Although difunctionalization at distal positions has been reported2-4, it typically relies on designer substrates featuring directing groups and/or stabilizing features, all of which determine the ultimate site of bond formation5-7. Here we introduce a method for the direct 1,3-difunctionalization of alkenes, based on a concept termed 'charge relocation', which enables stereodivergent access to 1,3-difunctionalized products of either syn- or anti-configuration from unactivated alkenes, without the need for directing groups or stabilizing features. The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated in the synthesis of the pulmonary toxin 4-ipomeanol and its derivatives.

Abstract
Integral membrane enzymes play essential roles in a plethora of biochemical processes. The fatty acid desaturases (FADS)-like superfamily is an important group of integral membrane enzymes that catalyze a wide array of reactions, including hydroxylation, desaturation, and cyclization; however, due to the membrane-bound nature, the majority of these enzymes have remained poorly understood. UndB is a member of the FADS-like superfamily, which catalyzes fatty acid decarboxylation, a chemically challenging reaction at the membrane interface. UndB reaction produces terminal olefins that are prominent biofuel candidates and building blocks of polymers with widespread industrial applications. Despite the great importance of UndB for several biotechnological applications, the enzyme has eluded comprehensive investigation. Here, we report details of the expression, solubilization, and purification of several constructs of UndB to achieve the optimally functional enzyme. We gained important insights into the biochemical, biophysical, and catalytic properties of UndB, including the thermal stability and factors influencing the enzyme activity. Additionally, we established the ability and kinetics of UndB to produce dienes by performing di-decarboxylation of diacids. We found that the reaction proceeds by forming a mono-carboxylic acid intermediate. Our findings shed light on the unexplored biochemical properties of the UndB and extend opportunities for its rigorous mechanistic and structural characterization.

Abstract
The epicuticle of insects is usually coated with a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily straight-chain and methyl-branched alkanes and alkenes. We were interested in whether springtails (Collembola), a sister class of the insects, also use such compounds. We focused here on Vertagopus sarekensis, an abundant Isotomidae species in European high alpine regions, exhibiting coordinated group behavior and migration. This coordination, suggesting chemical communication, made the species interesting for our study on epicuticular hydrocarbons in springtails with different degrees of group behavior. We isolated a single hydrocarbon from its surface, which is the major epicuticular lipid. The structure was deduced by NMR analysis and GC/MS including derivatization. Total synthesis confirmed the structure as cis,cis-3,4,13,14-bismethylene-24-methyldotriacontane (4, sarekensane). The GC/MS analyses of some other cyclopropane hydrocarbons also synthesized showed the close similarity of both mass spectra and gas chromatographic retention indices of alkenes and cyclopropanes. Therefore, analyses of cuticular alkenes must be performed with appropriate derivatization to distinguish these two types of cuticular hydrocarbons. Sarekensane (4) is the first nonterpenoid cuticular hydrocarbon from Collembola that is biosynthesized via the fatty acid pathway, as are insect hydrocarbons, and contains unprecedented cyclopropane rings in the chain, not previously reported from arthropods.

Abstract
Alkylidene cyclopropanes (ACPs) are valuable synthetic intermediates because of their constrained structure and opportunities for further diversification. Although routes to ACPs are known, preparations of ACPs with control of both the configuration of the cyclopropyl (R vs S) group and the geometry of the alkene (E vs Z) are unknown. We describe enzymatic cyclopropanation of allenes with ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) catalyzed by an iridium-containing cytochrome (Ir(Me)-CYP119) that controls both stereochemical elements. Two mutants of Ir(Me)-CYP119 identified by 6-codon (6c, VILAFG) saturation mutagenesis catalyze the formation of (E)-ACPs with -93% to >99% ee and >99:1 E/Z ratio with just three rounds of 96 mutants. By four additional rounds of mutagenesis, an enzyme variant was identified that forms (Z)-ACPs with up to 94% ee and a 28:72 E/Z ratio. Computational studies show that the orientation of the carbene unit dictated by the mutated positions accounts for the stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Here we examined the membrane binding and pore formation of amphidinol 3 (AM3) and its truncated synthetic derivatives. Importantly, both of the membrane affinity and pore formation activity were well correlated with the reported antifungal activity. Our data clearly demonstrated that the C1-C30 moiety of AM3 plays essential roles both in sterol recognition and stable pore formation. Based on the current findings, we updated the interacting model between AM3 and sterol, in which the moiety encompassing from C21 to C67 accommodates a sterol molecule with forming hydrogen bonds with the sterol hydroxy group and van der Waals contact between AM3 polyol and sterol skeleton. Although the conformation of the C1-C20 moiety of AM3 is hard to specify due to its flexibility, the region likely contributes to stabilization of pore structure.

Abstract
The copolymerization of ethylene (E) with isoprene (Ip) was performed catalyzed by a symmetrical catalyst exhibiting a silicon bridge [rac-Me2Si(2-Me-4-Ph-Ind)2ZrCl2 with the combination of borate/TIBA activator. The effect of cocatalyst, Ip concentration, and polymerization temperature on the activity, molecular weight (Mw), distribution (MWD), comonomer composition, chain structure (regio- and stereoselectivity), and resulting side reactions were logically addressed. Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) was used to characterize the Mw and polydispersity, while nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed for the chain structure of the polymers. The catalytic activity was significantly lower by increasing the Ip concentration in the feed, and the isoprene content in resulting polymers was lower under the reaction condition, leading to higher activity. Insertion of isoprene units in polymer structure demonstrates the higher regioselectivity for the 3,4 connections than the 1,4 connections and is expected to be a high-resistance polymer against acids. The MWD presented monomodal even with a higher concentration (1.44 mol/L) and did not appear as low Mw peaks of Ip. The Mw was higher with a broader MWD when purely TIBA was used as a cocatalyst, and it significantly reduced and presented a narrowed MWD with TEA in the cocatalyst. The higher efficiency of the catalyst for the higher insertion of Ip (C=C double bond) effectively modifies the polymer backbone. It is expected to be a promising candidate for easily degradable and favorable solutions for solving environmental problems caused by PE. wastes.

Abstract
The practical catalytic enantioselective cis-dihydroxylation of olefins that utilize earth-abundant first-row transition metal catalysts under environmentally friendly conditions is an important yet challenging task. Inspired by the cis-dihydroxylation reactions catalyzed by Rieske dioxygenases and non-heme iron models, we report the biologically inspired cis-dihydroxylation catalysis that employs an inexpensive and readily available mononuclear non-heme manganese complex bearing a tetradentate nitrogen-donor ligand and aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and potassium peroxymonosulfate (KHSO5) as terminal oxidants. A wide range of olefins are efficiently oxidized to enantioenriched cis-diols in practically useful yields with excellent cis-dihydroxylation selectivity and enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Mechanistic studies, such as isotopically 18O-labeled water experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations support that a manganese(V)-oxo-hydroxo (HO-MnV═O) species, which is formed via the water-assisted heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of putative manganese(III)-hydroperoxide and manganese(III)-peroxysulfate precursors, is the active oxidant that effects the cis-dihydroxylation of olefins; this is reminiscent of the frequently postulated iron(V)-oxo-hydroxo (HO-FeV═O) species in the catalytic arene and alkene cis-dihydroxylation reactions by Rieske dioxygenases and synthetic non-heme iron models. Further, DFT calculations for the mechanism of the HO-MnV═O-mediated enantioselective cis-dihydroxylation of olefins reveal that the first oxo attack step controls the enantioselectivity, which exhibits a high preference for cis-dihydroxylation over epoxidation. In this study, we are able to replicate both the catalytic function and the key chemical principles of Rieske dioxygenases in mononuclear non-heme manganese-catalyzed enantioselective cis-dihydroxylation of olefins.

Abstract
The stereoselective total synthesis of dechlorotrichotoxin A, alongside the synthesis of a 1:1 10E/Z mixture of trichotoxin A, was successfully achieved, commencing from the natural monoterpenoid (-)-citronellal. Key steps in the synthesis involved introducing three alkenes and establishing a stereogenic secondary alcohol center. These transformations were accomplished through olefin cross-metathesis, Tebbe olefination, and enantioselective allylation using a chiral phosphoric acid. A comparison of the spectroscopic data between the synthetic dechlorotrichotoxin A and the reported spectra confirmed that the polyketide isolated from a Smenospongia species corresponds to trichotoxin A rather than dechlorotrichotoxin A.

Abstract
γ-Amino acids and peptides analogues are common constituents of building blocks for numerous biologically active molecules, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. In particular, γ-amino acids are providing with better metabolic stability than α-amino acids. Herein we report a multicomponent carbonylation technology that combines readily available amides, alkenes, and the feedstock gas carbon monoxide to build architecturally complex and functionally diverse γ-amino acid derivatives in a single step by the implementation of radical relay catalysis. This transformation can also be used as a late-stage functionalization strategy to deliver complex, advanced γ-amino acid products for pharmaceutical and other areas.

Abstract
The hierarchical silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO-34) catalyst was synthesized using the mixtures of diethylamine (D) and butylamine (B) as a structure-directing agent (SDA), and carbon nanotube (CNT) as a secondary template in the hydrothermal method. The catalysts were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), N2 physisorption, and temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD) techniques and evaluated for the catalytic activity in the Methanol to Olefins (MTO) process. The results showed that the use of CNT as the secondary template improved the hierarchical structure of SAPO-34 due to increasing the external surface area and mesoporosity and decreasing the particle size and as a result, made better the performance of the prepared SAPO-34 zeolite in the MTO process. Among all the prepared samples, the CNT-B-D catalyst synthesized by mixing three templates displayed the highest ethylene and propylene selectivity of 49% and 34%, respectively. Also, using CNT in the synthesis of samples increased the catalytic stability. In addition, pure, binary, and ternary adsorption isotherms and diffusivities of the main products and reactants over the SAPO-34 were investigated by theoretical measurements, because sorption and diffusion affect the catalyst stability and C2-C3 selectivity in the MTO reaction. The higher diffusion rate of ethylene leads to following the aromatic-based cycle in the MTO process.

Abstract
Alkene difunctionalizations enable the synthesis of structurally elaborated products from simple and ubiquitous starting materials in a single chemical step. Carbohydroxylations of olefins represent a family of reactivity that furnish structurally complex alcohols. While examples of this type of three-component coupling have been reported, catalytic asymmetric examples remain elusive. Here, we report an enzyme-catalyzed asymmetric carbohydroxylation of alkenes catalyzed by flavin-dependent "ene"-reductases to produce enantioenriched tertiary alcohols. Seven rounds of protein engineering reshape the enzyme's active site to increase activity and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that C-O bond formation occurs via a 5-endo-trig cyclization with the pendant ketone to afford an α-oxy radical which is oxidized and hydrolyzed to form the product. This work demonstrates photoenzymatic reactions involving "ene"-reductases can terminate radicals via mechanisms other than hydrogen atom transfer, expanding their utility in chemical synthesis.

Abstract
The catalytic epoxidation of small alkenes and allylic alcohols includes a wide range of valuable chemical applications, with many works describing vanadium complexes as suitable catalysts towards sustainable process chemistry. But, given the complexity of these mechanisms, it is not always easy to sort out efficient examples for streamlining sustainable processes and tuning product optimization. In this review, we provide an update on major works of tunable vanadium-catalyzed epoxidations, with a focus on sustainable optimization routes. After presenting the current mechanistic view on vanadium catalysts for small alkenes and allylic alcohols' epoxidation, we argue the key challenges in green process development by highlighting the value of updated kinetic and mechanistic studies, along with essential computational studies.

Abstract
In nature and synthetic chemistry, stereoselective [2 + 1] cyclopropanation is the most prevalent strategy for the synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes, a class of key pharmacophores in pharmaceuticals and bioactive natural products. One of the most extensively studied reactions in the organic chemist's arsenal, stereoselective [2 + 1] cyclopropanation, largely relies on the use of stereodefined olefins, which can require elaborate laboratory synthesis or tedious separation to ensure high stereoselectivity. Here, we report engineered hemoproteins derived from a bacterial cytochrome P450 that catalyze the synthesis of chiral 1,2,3-polysubstituted cyclopropanes, regardless of the stereopurity of the olefin substrates used. Cytochrome P450BM3 variant P411-INC-5185 exclusively converts (Z)-enol acetates to enantio- and diastereoenriched cyclopropanes and in the model reaction delivers a leftover (E)-enol acetate with 98% stereopurity, using whole Escherichia coli cells. P411-INC-5185 was further engineered with a single mutation to enable the biotransformation of (E)-enol acetates to α-branched ketones with high levels of enantioselectivity while simultaneously catalyzing the cyclopropanation of (Z)-enol acetates with excellent activities and selectivities. We conducted docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations to understand how active-site residues distinguish between the substrate isomers and enable the enzyme to perform these distinct transformations with such high selectivities. Computational studies suggest the observed enantio- and diastereoselectivities are achieved through a stepwise pathway. These biotransformations streamline the synthesis of chiral 1,2,3-polysubstituted cyclopropanes from readily available mixtures of (Z/E)-olefins, adding a new dimension to classical cyclopropanation methods.

Abstract
The construction of C-C and C-X (X = N, O, Si, etc.) bonds is an important field in organic synthesis and methodology. In recent decades, studies on transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of alkenes have been on the rise. The individual properties of different transition metals determine the type of reaction that can be applied. Generally, post-transition metals with a large number of electrons in the d-orbit such as Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, etc., can be applied to more reaction types than pre-transition metals with a small number of electrons (e.g., Ti, Zr, etc.). Alkyl nickel intermediates formed by oxidative addition could couple with various of nucleophiles or electrophiles. Moreover, nickel has several oxidation valence states, which can flexibly realize a variety of catalytic cycles. These characteristics make nickel favored by researchers in the field of functionalization of alkenes, especially for the hydrofunctionalization of alkenes. Both terminal and internal alkenes could be converted, and the strategies of synthesizing linear and branched compounds have been expanded. Moreover, the guiding groups in alkenes played an almost decisive role in the regional selectivity, and the ligand or temperature also had regulating effects. Herein, we will give a comprehensive and timely overview of the works about the Ni-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkenes and some insights on regional selectivity.

Abstract
The enzymatic decarboxylation of fatty acids (FAs) represents an advance toward the development of biological routes to produce drop-in hydrocarbons. The current mechanism for the P450-catalyzed decarboxylation has been largely established from the bacterial cytochrome P450 OleTJE. Herein, we describe OleTPRN, a poly-unsaturated alkene-producing decarboxylase that outrivals the functional properties of the model enzyme and exploits a distinct molecular mechanism for substrate binding and chemoselectivity. In addition to the high conversion rates into alkenes from a broad range of saturated FAs without dependence on high salt concentrations, OleTPRN can also efficiently produce alkenes from unsaturated (oleic and linoleic) acids, the most abundant FAs found in nature. OleTPRN performs carbon-carbon cleavage by a catalytic itinerary that involves hydrogen-atom transfer by the heme-ferryl intermediate Compound I and features a hydrophobic cradle at the distal region of the substrate-binding pocket, not found in OleTJE, which is proposed to play a role in the productive binding of long-chain FAs and favors the rapid release of products from the metabolism of short-chain FAs. Moreover, it is shown that the dimeric configuration of OleTPRN is involved in the stabilization of the A-A' helical motif, a second-coordination sphere of the substrate, which contributes to the proper accommodation of the aliphatic tail in the distal and medial active-site pocket. These findings provide an alternative molecular mechanism for alkene production by P450 peroxygenases, creating new opportunities for biological production of renewable hydrocarbons.

Abstract
The nature of reactive intermediates and the mechanism of the cis-dihydroxylation of arenes and olefins by Rieske dioxygenases and synthetic nonheme iron catalysts have been the topic of intense research over the past several decades. In this study, we report that a spectroscopically well characterized mononuclear nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complex reacts with olefins and naphthalene derivatives, yielding iron(III) cycloadducts that are isolated and characterized structurally and spectroscopically. Kinetics and product analysis reveal that the nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complex is a nucleophile that reacts with olefins and naphthalenes to yield cis-diol products. The present study reports the first example of the cis-dihydroxylation of substrates by a nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complex that yields cis-diol products.

Abstract
The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction between a tetrazine and a strained alkene has been widely explored as useful bioorthogonal chemistry for selective labeling of biomolecules. In this work, we exploit the slow reaction between a non-conjugated terminal alkene and a tetrazine, and apply this reaction to achieving a proximity-enhanced protein crosslinking. In one protein subunit, a terminal alkene-containing amino acid was site-specifically incorporated in response to an amber nonsense codon. In another protein subunit, a tetrazine moiety was introduced through the attachment to a cysteine residue. Fast protein crosslinking was achieved due to a large increase in effective molarity of the two reactants that were brought to close proximity by the two interacting protein subunits. Such a proximity-enhanced protein crosslinking is useful for the study of protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Stereochemically defined trisubstituted alkenes with a bromide and a methyl group at a terminus can be readily and stereoretentively derivatized through catalytic cross-coupling, affording unsaturated fragments found in many bioactive natural products. A direct method for generating such entities would be by stereocontrolled catalytic cross-metathesis (CM). Such methods are scarce however. Here, we present a stereoretentive strategy for CM between tri-, Z- or E-di, or monosubstituted olefins and Z- or E-2-bromo-2-butene, affording an assortment of E- or Z-trisubstituted alkenyl bromides. The majority of the transformations were catalyzed by two Mo monoaryloxide pyrrolide (MAP) complexes, one purchasable and the other accessible by well-established protocols. Substrates, such as feedstock trisubstituted olefins, can be purchased; the alkenyl bromide reagents are commercially available or can be prepared in two steps in a multigram scale. The catalytic process can be used to generate products that contain polar moieties, such as an amine or an alcohol, or sterically hindered alkenes that are α- or β-branched. The utility of the approach is highlighted by a brief and stereocontrolled synthesis of an unsaturated fragment of phomactin A and a concise total synthesis of ambrein. An unexpected outcome of these investigations was the discovery of a new role for the presence of a small-molecule alkene in an olefin metathesis reaction. DFT studies indicate that this additive swiftly reacts with a short-lived Mo alkylidene and probably helps circumvent the formation of catalytically inactive square pyramidal metallacyclobutanes, enhancing the efficiency of a transformation.

Abstract
In this review, the latest achievements in the field of multiply bonded organogermanium derivatives, mostly reported within the last two decades, are presented. The isolable Ge-containing analogues of alkenes, alkynes, 1,3-dienes, allenes, and vinylidenes are discussed, and for each class of unsaturated organogermanium compounds, the most representative examples are given. The synthetic approaches toward homonuclear multiply bonded combinations solely consisting of germanium atoms, and their heteronuclear variants containing germanium and other group 14 elements, both acyclic and cyclic, are discussed. The peculiar structural features and nonclassical bonding nature of the abovementioned compounds are discussed based on their spectroscopic and structural characteristics, in particular their crystallographic parameters (double bond length, trans-bending at the doubly bonded centers, and twisting about the double bond). The prospects for the practical use of the title compounds in synthetic and catalytic fields are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Continuing efforts aimed at performing the 1-decene polymerization to low viscosity polyalphaolefins (PAO)s using a less hazardous AlCl3 catalyst than boron-based analogs, the basic mechanisms of this system were revealed in this research. In this aspect, neat AlCl3 and AlCl3 /toluene were carried out to perform 1-decene polymerizations. Microstructure analyses of the as-synthesized oils revealed low molecular weight (708 vs. 1529 g/mol), kinematic viscosity (KV100 =6.4 vs. 22.2 cSt), and long chain branching (82.1 vs. 84.7) of PAO from the system containing toluene solvent. Furthermore, NMR analysis confirmed various types of short chain branch (SCB) with the inclusion of toluene ring in the structure of final PAO chains. Then, to shed light on the basic mechanisms of cationic polymerization of 1-decene including: i) chain initiation, ii) chain transfer to the monomer, iii) isomerization of the carbocation via a chain walking mechanism (causes different SCB length), and iv) binding of toluene ring to the propagating PAO chain (to yield aromatic containing oligomers), molecular modeling at the DFT level was employed. The energies obtained confirmed the ease of carbocation isomerization and chain transfer mechanisms in toluene medium, which well confirms the highly branched structure experimentally obtained for related PAO.

Abstract
The cis/trans geometry of olefins is known to dramatically influence the thermal and mechanical properties of polyalkenamers. Yet, polymerization methods that efficiently control this parameter are scarce. Here we report the development of a stereoretentive acyclic diene metathesis polymerization that uses the reactivity of dithiolate Ru carbenes combined with cis monomers. These Ru catalysts exhibit exquisite retention of the cis geometry and tolerate many polar functional groups, enabling the synthesis of all-cis polyesters, polycarbonates, polyethers and polysulfites. The stereoretentive acyclic diene metathesis polymerization is also characterized by low catalyst loadings and tolerance towards trans impurities in the monomer batch, which should facilitate large-scale implementation. Modulation of the reaction temperature and time leads to an erosion of stereoretention, permitting a stereocontrolled synthesis of polyalkenamers with predictable cis:trans ratios. The impact of the stereochemistry of the repeating alkenes on the thermal properties is clearly demonstrated through differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.

Abstract
Recently, it was shown that the double Ca-H-Ca-bridged calcium hydride cation dimer [LCaH2 CaL]2+ when stabilized by a larger macrocyclic N,N',N'',N''',N''''-pentadentate ligand showed evidently higher activity than when stabilized by a smaller N,N',N'',N'''-tetradentate ligand in the catalytic hydrogenation of unactivated 1-alkenes. In this DFT-mechanistic work, the origin of the observed ring-size effect is examined in detail using 1-hexene, CH2 =CH2 and H2 as substrates. It is shown that, at room temperature, both the N,N',N'',N''',N''''-stabilized dimer and the monomer are not coordinated by THF in solution, while the corresponding N,N',N'',N'''-stabilized structures are coordinated by one THF molecule mimicking the fifth N-coordination. Catalytic 1-alkene hydrogenation may occur via anti-Markovnikov addition over the terminal Ca-H bonds of transient monomers, followed by faster Ca-C bond hydrogenolysis. The higher catalytic activity of the larger N,N',N'',N''',N''''-stabilized dimer is due to not only easier formation of but also due to the higher reactivity of the catalytic monomeric species. In contrast, despite unfavorable THF-coordination in solution, the smaller N,N',N'',N'''-stabilized dimer shows a 3.2 kcal mol-1 lower barrier via a dinuclear cooperative Ca-H-Ca bridge for H2 isotope exchange than the large N,N',N'',N''',N''''-stabilized dimer, mainly due to less steric hindrance. The observed ring-size effect can be understood mainly by a subtle interplay of solvent, steric and cooperative effects that can be resolved in detail by state-of-the-art quantum chemistry calculations.

Abstract
The amide is one of the most prevalent functional groups in all of pharmaceuticals, and for this reason, reactions that introduce the amide moiety are of particular value. Intermolecular hydroamidation of alkenes remains an underexplored method for the synthesis of amide-containing compounds. The majority of hydroamidation procedures exhibit Markovnikov regioselectivity, while current methods for anti-Markovnikov hydroamidation are somewhat limited to activated alkene substrates or radical processes. Herein, we report a general method for the intermolecular anti-Markovnikov hydroamidation of unactivated alkenes under mild conditions, utilizing Rh(III) catalysis in conjunction with dioxazolone amidating reagents and isopropanol as an environmentally friendly hydride source. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and efficiently converts electron-deficient alkenes, styrenes, and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes, in addition to unactivated alkenes, to their corresponding linear amides. Mechanistic studies reveal a reversible rhodium hydride migratory insertion step, leading to exquisite selectivity for the anti-Markovnikov product.

Abstract
Regiochemical aspects and the molecular mechanism of the [3 + 2] cycloaddition between nitrous oxide and conjugated nitroalkenes were evaluated on the basis of the wb97xd/6-311 + G(d) (PCM) computational study. It was found that, independently of the nature of the nitroalkene, all considered processes are realized via polar, single-step mechanisms. All attempts at the localization of hypothetical zwitterionic intermediates were unsuccessful. Additionally, the DFT computational study suggested that, in the course of the reaction, the formation of respective Δ2-4-nitro-4-R1-5-R2-1-oxa-2,3-diazolines was preferred from the kinetic point of view.

Abstract
Radical addition reactions of olefins have emerged as an attractive tool for the rapid assembly of complex structures, and have plentiful applications in organic synthesis, however, such reactions are often limited to polymerization or 1,2-difunctionalization. Herein, we disclose an unprecedented radical relay 1,4-oxyimination of two electronically differentiated olefins with a class of bifunctional oxime carbonate reagents via an energy transfer strategy. The protocol is highly chemo- and regioselective, and three different chemical bonds (C-O, C-C, and C-N bonds) were formed in a single operation in an orchestrated manner. Notably, this reaction provides rapid access to a large variety of structurally diverse 1,4-oxyimination products, and the obtained products could be easily converted into valuable biologically relevant δ-hydroxyl-α-amino acids. With a combination of experimental and theoretical methods, the mechanism for this 1,4-oxyimination reaction has been investigated. Theoretical calculations reveal that a radical chain mechanism might operate in the reaction.

Abstract
Herein, the first use of perfluoroalcohol H-bonding in accelerating acyclic azadiene inverse electron demand cycloaddition reactions is described, and its use in the promotion of heterocyclic azadiene cycloaddition reactions is generalized through examination of a complete range of azadienes. The scope of dienophiles was comprehensively explored; relative reactivity trends and solvent compatibilities were established with respect to the dienophile as well as azadiene; H-bonding solvent effects that lead to rate enhancements, yield improvements, and their impact on regioselectivity and mode of cycloaddition are defined; new viable diene/dienophile reaction partners in the cycloaddition reactions are disclosed; and key comparison rate constants are reported. The perfluoroalcohol effectiveness at accelerating an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition is directly correlated with its H-bond potential (pKa). Not only are the reactions of electron-rich dienophiles accelerated but those of strained and even unactivated alkenes and alkynes are improved, including representative bioorthogonal click reactions.

Abstract
Stereochemical control of photochemical reactions that occur via triplet energy transfer remains a challenge. Suppressing off-catalyst stereorandom reactivity is difficult for highly reactive open-shell intermediates. Strategies for suppressing racemate-producing, off-catalyst pathways have long focused on formation of ground state, substrate-catalyst chiral complexes that are primed for triplet energy transfer via a photocatalyst in contrast to their off-catalyst counterparts. Herein, we describe a strategy where both a chiral catalyst-associated vinylpyridine and a nonassociated, free vinylpyridine substrate can be sensitized by an Ir(III) photocatalyst, yet high levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity in a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition are achieved through a preferred, highly organized transition state. This mechanistic paradigm is distinct from, yet complementary to current approaches for achieving high levels of stereocontrol in photochemical transformations.

Abstract
The THF containing acetogenin 4-deoxyannonmontacin (4-DAN) has attracted interest for its potent cytotoxicity against a broad range of human tumor cell lines, and relatively simple structure. Herein is described the synthesis and cytotoxicity of C-10 epimers of 4-DAN and analogues thereof comprising carbohydrate and thiophene substitutes for the THF and butenolide moieties respectively. The key synthetic ploy was the union of THF and butenolide segments or their substitutes, via an alkene cross metathesis. The different analogues showed cytotoxicity in the low micromolar to nanomolar range against the human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and PC3. A relatively simple mannose-linked thiophene analog was found to be similar in activity to 4-DAN.

Abstract
With sustainability at the forefront of current polymerisation research, the typically earth-abundant, inexpensive and low-toxicity main group metals are attractive candidates for catalysis. Main group metals have been exploited in a broad range of polymerisations, ranging from classical alkene polymerisation to the synthesis of new bio-derived and degradable polyesters and polycarbonates via ring-opening polymerisation and ring-opening copolymerisation. This tutorial review highlights efficient polymerisation catalysts based on Group 1, Group 2, Zn and Group 13 metals. Key mechanistic pathways and catalyst developments are discussed, including tailored ligand design, heterometallic cooperativity, bicomponent systems and careful selection of the polymerisation conditions, all of which can be used to fine-tune the metal Lewis acidity and the metal-alkyl bond polarity.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions (NCIs) are critical elements of molecular recognition in a wide variety of chemical contexts. While NCIs have been studied extensively for closed-shell molecules and ions, very little is understood about the structures and properties of NCIs involving free radical intermediates. In this report, we describe a detailed mechanistic study of the enantioselective radical hydroamination of alkenes with sulfonamides and present evidence suggesting that the basis for asymmetric induction in this process arises from attractive NCIs between a neutral sulfonamidyl radical intermediate and a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA). We describe experimental, computational, and data science-based evidence that identifies the specific radical NCIs that form the basis for the enantioselectivity. Kinetic studies support that C-N bond formation determines the enantioselectivity. Density functional theory investigations revealed the importance of both strong H-bonding between the CPA and the N-centered radical and a network of aryl-based NCIs that serve to stabilize the favored diastereomeric transition state. The contributions of these specific aryl-based NCIs to the selectivity were further confirmed through multivariate linear regression analysis by comparing the measured enantioselectivity to computed descriptors. These results highlight the power of NCIs to enable high levels of enantioselectivity in reactions involving uncharged open-shell intermediates and expand our understanding of radical-molecule interactions.

Abstract
A neighboring boronate group in the substrate provides a dramatic rate acceleration in transmetalation to copper and thereby enables organoboronic esters to participate in unprecedented site-selective cross-couplings. This cross-coupling operates under practical experimental conditions and allows for coupling between vicinal bis(boronic esters) and allyl, alkynyl, and propargyl electrophiles as well as a simple proton. Because the reactive substrates are vicinal bis(boronic esters), the cross-coupling described herein provides an expedient new method for the construction of boron-containing reaction products from alkenes. Mechanistic experiments suggest that chelated cyclic ate complexes may play a role in the transmetalation.

Abstract
Photochemical dearomative cycloaddition has emerged as a useful strategy to rapidly generate molecular complexity. Within this context, stereo- and regiocontrolled intermolecular para-cycloadditions are rare. Herein, a method to achieve photochemical cycloaddition of quinolines and alkenes is shown. Emphasis is placed on generating sterically congested products and reaction of highly substituted alkenes and allenes. In addition, the mechanistic details of the process are studied, which revealed a reversible radical addition and a selectivity-determining radical recombination. The regio- and stereochemical outcome of the reaction is also rationalized.

Abstract
Herein we present a photocatalyst- and additive-free radical hydroacylation of electron-poor double bonds under mild reaction conditions. Using 4-acyl-Hantzsch ester radical reservoirs, various Michael acceptors, enones and para-quinone methide substrates could be used. The protocol enabled further derivatizations and it could also be extended to a few unactivated alkenes. Moreover, the nature of the radical process was also investigated.

Abstract
Development of a new and green strategy for C(sp3 )-N bond cleavage is very interesting. Herein, photocatalytic cleavage of the C(sp3 )-N bond of trialkylamines was achieved, with concurrent formation of dialkylamines and olefins. It was found that a rationally designed 2D-Bi2 WO6 @1D-LaPO4 heterostructure was very efficient for the reaction due to its high light collection efficiency and unique catalytic properties. The strategy could be used for different trialkylamines, including triethylamine, tri-n-propylamine, and ethyl-di-isopropylamine. The mechanistic investigation indicated that the catalyst with heterostructure was not only favorable for charge carrier separation but also rendered excited electrons with high reduction capacity. This work opens a way for C(sp3 )-N bond cleavage of trialkylamines.

Abstract
Carbonyl-containing oxindoles are ubiquitous core structures present in many biologically active natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. Nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-acylation of alkenes using aryl anhydrides or alkanoyl chlorides as acyl sources is developed, providing 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ketone functionality at the 3-position. Moreover, nickel-catalyzed reductive aryl-esterification of alkenes using chloroformate as ester sources is further developed, affording 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles bearing ester functionality at the 3-position. This strategy has the advantages of good yields and high functional group compatibility.

Abstract
Herein, we leverage the Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reductive dicarbofunctionalization of internal alkenes with alkyl iodides to enable the synthesis of chiral pyrrolidinones bearing vicinal stereogenic centers. The application of newly developed 1-Nap Quinim is critical for formation of two contiguous stereocenters in high yield, enantioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity. This catalytic system also improves both the yield and enantioselectivity in the synthesis of α,α-dialkylated γ-lactams. Computational studies reveal that the enantiodetermining step proceeds with a carbamoyl-NiI intermediate that is reduced by the Mn reductant prior to intramolecular migratory insertion. The presence of the t-butyl group of the Quinim ligand leads to an unfavorable distortion of the substrate in the TS that leads to the minor enantiomer. Calculations also support an improvement in enantioselectivity with 1-Nap Quinim compared to p-tol Quinim.

Abstract
The mechanism of chiral hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) co-catalyzed Prins cyclizations was analyzed through a combination of experimental and computational methods and revealed to involve an unexpected and previously unrecognized mode of alkene activation. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies support the participation of a catalytically active HCl·HBD complex that displays reduced Brønsted acidity relative to HCl alone. Nevertheless, rate acceleration relative to the HCl-catalyzed background reaction as well as high levels of enantioselectivity are achieved. This inverse Brønsted correlation is ascribed to chloride-mediated substrate activation in the rate-limiting and enantiodetermining cyclization transition state. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, distortion-interaction analysis, and quasiclassical dynamics simulations support a stepwise mechanism in which rate acceleration and enantioselectivity are achieved through the precise positioning of the chloride anion within the active site of the chiral thiourea to enhance the nucleophilicity of the alkene and provide transition-state stabilization through local electric field effects. This mode of selective catalysis through anion positioning likely has general implications for the design of enantioselective Brønsted acid-catalyzed reactions involving π-nucleophiles.

Abstract
The concurrent installation of C-C and C-N bonds across alkene frameworks represents a powerful tool to prepare motifs that are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds. To construct such prevalent bonds, most alkene difunctionalization methods demand the use of precious metals or activated alkenes. We report a metal-free, photochemically mediated imino-alkylation of electronically diverse alkenes to install both alkyl and iminyl groups in a highly efficient manner. The exceptionally mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, and facile one-pot reaction protocol highlight the utility of this method to prepare privileged motifs from readily available alkene and acid feedstocks. One key and striking feature of this transformation is that an electrophilic trifluoromethyl radical is equally efficient with both electron-deficient and electron-rich alkenes. Additionally, dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) and empirical investigations provide detailed mechanistic insight into this reaction.

Abstract
Herein, we report a three-component organophotoredox coupling of N-alkenyl amides with α-bromocarbonyls and various nucleophiles. This transition metal-free difunctionalization protocol installs sequential C-C and C-Y (Y = S/O/N) bonds in alkenes. This reaction works with terminal and internal alkenes containing both cyclic and acyclic amides via radical-polar crossover.

Abstract
The asymmetric hydroaminocarbonylation of olefins represents a straightforward approach for the synthesis of enantioenriched amides, but is hampered by the necessity to employ CO gas, often at elevated pressures. We herein describe, as an alternative, an enantioselective hydrocarbamoylation of alkenes leveraging dual copper hydride and palladium catalysis to enable the use of readily available carbamoyl chlorides as a practical carbamoylating reagent. The protocol is applicable to various types of olefins, including alkenyl arenes, terminal alkenes, and 1,1-disubstituted alkenes. Substrates containing a diverse range of functional groups as well as heterocyclic substructures undergo functionalization to provide α- and β-chiral amides in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.

Abstract
Ketone-olefin coupling reactions are common methods for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. This reaction class typically requires stoichiometric or super stoichiometric quantities of metal reductants, and catalytic variations are limited in application. Photoredox catalysis has offered an alternative method toward ketone-olefin coupling reactions, although most methods are limited in scope to easily reducible aromatic carbonyl compounds. Herein, we describe a mild, metal-free ketone-olefin coupling reaction using an excited-state acridine radical super reductant as a photoredox catalyst. We demonstrate both intramolecular and intermolecular ketone-olefin couplings of aliphatic and aromatic ketones and aldehydes. Mechanistic evidence is also presented supporting an "olefin first" ketone-olefin coupling mechanism.

Abstract
The molecules possessing triazine and tetrazine moieties belong to a special class of heterocyclic compounds. Both triazines and tetrazines are building blocks and have provided a new dimension to the design of biologically important organic molecules. Several of their derivatives with fine-tuned electronic properties have been identified as multifunctional, adaptable, switchable, remarkably antifungal, anticancer, antiviral, antitumor, cardiotonic, anti-HIV, analgesic, anti-protozoal, etc. The objective of this review is to comprehensively describe the recent developments in synthesis, coordination properties, and various applications of triazine and tetrazine molecules. The rich literature demonstrates various synthetic routes for a variety of triazines and tetrazines through microwave-assisted, solid-phase, metal-based, [4+2] cycloaddition, and multicomponent one-pot reactions. Synthetic approaches contain linear, angular, and fused triazine and tetrazine heterocycles through a combinatorial method. Notably, the triazines and tetrazines undergo a variety of organic transformations, including electrophilic addition, coupling, nucleophilic displacement, and intramolecular cyclization. The mechanistic aspects of these heterocycles are discussed in a detailed way. The bioorthogonal application of these polyazines with various strained alkenes and alkynes provides a new prospect for investigations in chemical biology. This review systematically encapsulates the recent developments and challenges in the synthesis and possible potential applications of various triazine and tetrazine systems.

Abstract
Herein, we reported a method for iron-catalyzed, visible-light-induced hydrosilylation reactions of electron-deficient alkenes to produce value-added silicon compounds. Alkenes bearing functional groups with different steric properties were suitable substrates, as were derivatives of structurally complex natural products. Mechanistic studies showed that chlorine radicals generated by iron-catalyzed ligand-to-metal charge transfer in the presence of lithium chloride promoted the formation of silyl radicals.
