Summary: We report two distinctly different, catalyst-dependent, modes of regio- and enantioselective cycloaddition reactions between alkynes and 1,3-dienes providing rapid access to highly functionalized 1,4-cyclohexadienes or cyclobutenes from the same precursors. Complexes of an earth abundant metal, cobalt, with several commercially available chiral bisphosphine ligands with narrow bite angles catalyze [4+2]-cycloadditions with excellent chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivities. In contrast, complex of a finely tuned phosphino-oxazoline ligand promotes unique [2+2]-cycloaddition between the alkyne and the terminal double bond of the diene giving a highly functionalized cyclobutene with excellent regio- and enantioselectivities.

Summary: A highly enantio- and regio-selective method for Markovnikov hydrofluoroalkylation of 1,3-dienes was developed using nickel catalysis. This is the first catalytic asymmetric hydrofluoroalkylation of olefins. The method demonstrated broad substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, excellent enantio- and regio-selectivity, and the ability to access diverse fluorinated building blocks.

Summary: Catalytic hydroarylation reactions of conjugated dienes using tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane as a Lewis acid catalyst show a broad substrate scope for highly regioselective functionalization of sterically hindered aniline derivatives. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal the crucial role of residual water and B(C6F5)(3) complex in the reaction mechanism.

Summary: This study presents a new cobalt(I)-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective hydroacylation reaction of dienes, providing chiral products containing ketone functionality. Different classes of dienes show distinct regioselectivity during the reaction, and a mechanism involving a Co(I)/Co(III) oxidative dimerization cycle is proposed. The efficient syntheses of commercial relevant compounds using this method demonstrate its practical utility.

Summary: A palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3-enynes has been developed, providing access to multisubstituted conjugated dienes. This method exhibits excellent regio- and exclusive (E)-stereoselectivity and demonstrates broad substrate scope with both amines and alcohols as reaction partners, showing promising functional group tolerance.

Summary: We have developed a rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction with excellent selectivity, producing chiral cyclohexadienylamines. The reaction involves the reaction of two arylacetylenes with a cis-enamide or a silylacetylene to yield the desired products with complete regio- and diastereoselectivity and high yields and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest the formation of a rhodacyclopentadiene intermediate from the terminal alkynes.

Summary: A reductive approach for branch-selective 1,2-hydrovinylation of aliphatic 1,3-dienes with R-X electrophiles is reported in this study, showing a new selectivity pattern for diene functionalization. The combination of Ni(0) and the phosphine-nitrile ligand resulted in >20:1 regioselectivity, allowing for the conjugation of two biologically active units to form more complex polyene molecules.

Summary: A method for stereoselective hydroalkenylation of alkynes using enol triflates was reported in this study. The formation of Z,Z- or Z,E-1,3-dienes with excellent stereoselectivity and yield was achieved by leveraging an in situ-generated and geometrically pure vinyl-Cu(I) species. This approach allowed for the synthesis of highly substituted Z-dienes, including pentasubstituted 1,3-dienes, which are challenging to prepare using existing methods.

Summary: This article reports a novel rhodium catalyst that enables highly efficient and selective hydroformylation of cyclopropyl-functionalized trisubstituted alkenes, resulting in valuable chiral cyclopropyl entities. The modified ligand used in this study exhibits superior performance compared to traditional diphosphine ligands in asymmetric catalysis. Gram-scale reactions and subsequent transformations of the products were also demonstrated.

Summary: An efficient and highly selective semi-hydrogenation of terminal alkynes to alkenes has been achieved using neutral dimeric rhodium(I) complexes. The results show excellent selectivity and no deactivation or reduction in selectivity, indicating the potential industrial application of homogeneous rhodium complexes in the semi-hydrogenation of terminal alkynes.

Summary: A divergent regio- and stereoselective diarylation of dienes has been developed under Ni/Cr cocatalysis without the inherent driving force for the formation of polar metal alkoxides. Experimental studies have shown the key roles of Ni, Cr, and redox-active bis(imino)pyridine (PDI) ligands. The proposed mechanism suggests the involvement of organonickel species in the formation of the newly created C-C bond.

Summary: The dienylation of unfunctionalized arenes with 1,6-diynes, possessing aryl groups at the diyne termini, was found to proceed in the presence of an electron-deficient cyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) complex and a stoichiometric amount of silver carbonate. Experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies indicated the possible catalytic role of a (CpRh)-Rh-E(I) complex generated in situ in this reaction.
