Summary: An uncatalyzed three-component reaction utilizing aliphatic organozinc reagents is introduced for the synthesis of α-substituted β-ketoesters. This versatile method involves a formal conjugate addition/crossed-Claisen domino reaction between organozinc, acrylate, and acyl chloride, enabling the facile preparation of the desired products under mild conditions. The three-component coupling can also be performed using alkyl iodides, providing a simpler procedure. Experimental findings suggest a possible polar concerted mechanism involving at least two organozinc compounds in the transition state.

Summary: Catalyst-free multicomponent reactions using mixed alkylzinc reagents with Michael acceptors and carbonyl compounds or activated imines are explored. This approach enables the efficient synthesis of varied beta-hydroxycarbonyl compounds by employing primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylzinc reagents generated from corresponding iodoalkanes in acetonitrile. The reaction with imines exhibits contrasting results due to direct addition of the organozinc compound to the C=N bond. Mechanistic studies suggest a polar nature rather than a radical character for this reaction.

Summary: We have developed a new iron-catalyzed reaction for converting alkyl iodides into alkylzinc iodides. The reaction exhibits diastereoselective ring closures when a remote double bond is present at position 5. Furthermore, the resulting zinc reagents can be further reacted with various electrophiles under copper or palladium catalysis to provide diverse polyfunctional products.

Summary: In this mini-review, we propose a concept for designing multicomponent reactions based on sequential radical reactions. We focus on the photolysis of interelement compounds to generate heteroatom-centered radicals and study their addition to unsaturated compounds. The background, basic concepts, and methodology for constructing multicomponent radical reactions are discussed, followed by examples of reactions involving different combinations of interelement compounds and unsaturated compounds, as well as intramolecular cyclization processes.

Summary: A nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of allylic acetates and gem-difluorovinyl tosylate has been developed. This reaction enables the synthesis of allylic gem-difluoroolefins via C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) cross-electrophile coupling and proceeds under mild reaction conditions, providing a variety of allylic gem-difluorovinyl arenes in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies reveal the involvement of two different Ni(0)/Ni(II) catalytic cycles.

Summary: In this study, a direct method for preparing alkylzinc compounds from functionalized alkyl bromides using cobalt catalysis under mild conditions was reported. The reaction is stable under air and moisture conditions, making it an accessible procedure. Various functional groups on primary and secondary alkyl bromides, including esters, cyano, and halogens, were well-tolerated, resulting in high yields of the corresponding alkylzinc compounds. The alkylzinc derivatives were successfully applied in palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with different functionalized aryl bromides, demonstrating the efficiency and robustness of the methodology.

Summary: A general and broadly applicable cobalt-catalyzed multicomponent 1,2-perfluoroalkylation carbonylation of alkenes has been developed, allowing the synthesis of beta-perfluoroalkyl-substituted amides, esters, and related derivatives in a one-pot manner. The method was also demonstrated to have application potential in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biologically active molecules, enabling the regioselective increase of molecular complexity of olefins toward functionalized perfluoroalkylated building blocks.

Summary: Intercalation of carboxylate into layered zinc hydroxides can be achieved directly at room temperature, resulting in crystalline, soluble, and functionalized materials. This direct synthesis method leads to high yields of exfoliated monolayer nanosheets, with high solubilities in alcohols and water. By altering the carboxylate ligand, functional groups suitable for post-synthetic modification or for detection by fluorescence are also introduced.

Summary: We have developed a method for the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds using light-activated electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes. This method involves the photoactivation of EDA complexes formed by carboxylic acid derivatives, triphenylphosphine, and sodium iodide, leading to single-electron reduction. The subsequent decarboxylation fragmentation generates nucleophilic alkyl free radicals, which can react with electron-deficient and electron-rich olefins.

Summary: In this study, a low-metal iron-supported catalyst (Fe20/NC-Mg) was reported for the efficient synthesis of quinoxaline compounds, using water as a solvent and without additional bases. The synergistic effect of FeNx site and Mg (OH)2 nanorods in the catalyst played a key role in achieving high yields (82-91%) in 16 examples. The gram-level synthesis and reusability of the catalysts after four cycles demonstrated its industrial application potential.
