Summary: The use of benzotriazoles as nucleophilic triggers in the three-component Yb(OTf)(3)-catalyzed ring-opening 1,3-aminofunctionalization of donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes is described. The reaction yields 1,3-aminohalogenation products in up to 84% yield when N-halo succinimide (NXS) is used as the third component. Alkyl halides or Michael acceptors as the third components lead to the formation of 3,1-carboaminated products in up to 96% yield in a one-pot operation. Using Selectfluor as the electrophile, the reaction affords 1,3-aminofluorinated products in a 61% yield.

Summary: In this study, regio- and diastereoselective ring-opening cyclization of spirocyclopropanes with phosphorus ylides was successfully achieved. The reaction proceeded smoothly without any additives, yielding the corresponding 6,7-dihydroindan-4-ones and 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexahydroazulen-4-ones in moderate to high yields. Further oxidation of the fused carbocyclic products led to highly substituted indanes and azulenes.

Summary: We present a straightforward method for the synthesis of delta-valerolactones through a phosphorus-catalyzed borylative ring-opening/allylation of vinylcyclopropanes. This route offers stereoselective access to delta-hydroxy esters, which can be lactonized to obtain densely substituted delta-valerolactones. Compared to existing metal-mediated methods, our methodology exhibits enhanced tolerance towards various functional groups. Mechanistic investigations suggest the involvement of a phosphonium zwitterionic species, and the synthetic utility of the intermediate allyl boronates is demonstrated.

Summary: In this study, a copper-catalyzed reaction of gem-fluorinated cyclobutenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron was reported, leading to the formation of B,F-bifunctional 1,3-dienes. The transformation was achieved through a sequence of reactions, allowing for the stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1,3-dienes.

Summary: A new ionic cyclopropanation process has been developed, resulting in the formation of 1,1,2,3-tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes as the main products. These tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes can be further utilized for synthesis, including the formation of five-membered lactones through a reaction promoted by TiCl4.

Summary: A 1,3-carbocarbonation of 2-substituted cyclopropane 1,1-dicarboxylates was achieved by copper catalysis, introducing various carbon residues at the 1- and 3- position of the former three-membered ring. The ring-opening attack with a Grignard reagent proceeded smoothly, and the intermediate was converted to the final product by reaction with appropriate carbon-based electrophiles under basic conditions. Grignard reagents derived from sp(3)-, sp(2)-, and sp-hybridized carbon residues were successfully used as nucleophiles, while aliphatic bromides and EBX derivatives served as electrophiles for sp moieties.

Summary: Efficient catalytic activation of donor-acceptor aminocyclopropanes lacking the commonly used diester acceptor was achieved in a (3 + 2) dearomative annulation with indoles, yielding cycloadducts in high yields and high diastereomeric ratios, leading to tricyclic indoline frameworks containing four stereogenic centers.

Summary: This article investigates the MgI2-catalyzed nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with indoline-2-thiones as sulfur nucleophiles. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of functionalized gamma-indolylthio butyric acid derivatives are obtained in good to excellent yields. Additionally, the thioether functionalized ring-opening products can be transformed into sulfone and methionine analogues.

Summary: By merging C-C and C-F bond cleavage, a regioselective ring opening/gem-difluoroallylation of cyclopropyl ketones with a-trifluoromethylstyrenes was developed, which proceeds under the catalysis of iron with the combination of manganese and TMSCl as the reducing agents. This reaction provides a new entry to the synthesis of carbonyl-containing gem-difluoroalkenes. Remarkably, the ketyl radical-induced selective C-C bond cleavage and the following generation of more-stable carbon-centered radicals enable complete regiocontrol of this ring opening reaction for various substitution patterns of the cyclopropane ring.

Summary: The study established a reaction under the cooperative bimetallic catalysis of iridium and copper catalysts, which yielded indole C3-allylation products with moderate yields (up to 78%) and good enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 er). This reaction not only represents the first catalytic asymmetric ring-opening reaction of vinylcyclopropanes with C3-unsubstituted indoles, but also provides an atom-economic and straightforward method for the synthesis of C3-allylic indoles with high regio- and enantioselectivity.
