Summary: The cyclopropanation reaction of 3-diazooxindoles with arenes was successfully achieved for the first time using visible-light irradiation, leading to the synthesis of a series of spiro[norcaradiene-7,3'-indolin]-2'-ones with high yields and excellent diastereoselectivities. The synthetic utility of this catalyst-free photochemical methodology was further demonstrated through controllable rearrangement and epoxidation reactions.

Summary: Visible light irradiation combined with Pd catalysis has been employed for the C-H alkylation reactions of naphthylamines and alpha-diazo esters, leading to the synthesis of alpha-naphthyl functionalized acetates via C-C bond construction under mild and solvent-free conditions. The pivotal role of light irradiation in the reactions is believed to be promoting the generation of active carbene species from alpha-diazo esters.

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: Metal-free electrophile addition to vinyl diazo compounds leads to highly selective formal [3 + 2] cyclization, 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes, and C-H functionalization. Diverse electrophilic reagents can be used to generate highly reactive intermediates, enabling the synthesis of various substituted alpha-diazo esters with high yields and selectivities. Further transformations such as migration, oxidation, ring-expansion, and conjugate addition demonstrate the potential utility of this method.

Summary: This study developed a catalyst that uses diazirines as carbene precursors, providing a new strategy for selective carbene transfer. By engineering variants of ApePgb protoglobin, selective carbene transfer from diazirines can be achieved at room temperature. The structure of an ApePgb variant, determined by microcrystal electron diffraction, revealed how evolution has enhanced access to the heme active site for this new-to-nature catalysis.

Summary: A novel, facile, and efficient Lewis-acid-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation protocol has been developed for the construction of functionalized polycyclic-fused furans. This methodology provides a rapid synthetic route to divergently orientated polycyclic furans in good yields, without the need for transition metals and ligands. Additionally, this protocol can be used to synthesize multisubstituted furans.

Summary: A copper-catalyzed cascade reaction between 1,6-enynes and sulfoxonium ylides, leading to the formation of structurally intriguing 2,3-disubstituted indolines, has been reported. The reaction exhibited moderate to excellent yields and good chemo-, regio-, and diastereoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Notably, the reactivity of sulfoxoniumylide-derived copper-carbene was found to be different from that of diazo copper-carbene. The proposed mechanism involves the formation of an initial ammonium ylide rather than an allene.
