This work reports gold-catalyzed [3+2]-annulations of α-diazo ketones with highly substituted cyclopentadienes, affording bicyclic 2,3-dihydrofurans with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The reactions highlights the first success of tetrasubstituted alkenes to undergo [3+2]-annulations with α-diazo carbonyls. The enantioselective annulations are also achieved with high enantioselectivity using chiral forms of gold and phosphoric acid. Our mechanistic analysis supports that cyclopentadienes serve as nucleophiles to attack gold carbenes at the more substituted alkenes, yielding gold enolates that complex with chiral phosphoric acid to enhance the enantioselectivity.

An enantioselective epoxidation of α-substituted vinyl ketones was realized to construct the key epoxide intermediates for the synthesis of various triazole antifungal agents. The reaction proceeded efficiently in high yields with good enantioselectivities by employing a chiral N,N′-dioxide/ScIII complex as the chiral catalyst and 35% aq. H2O2 as the oxidant. It enabled the facile transformation for optically active isavuconazole, efinaconazole, and other potential antifungal agents.

A general protocol for visible-light-induced cyclopropanation of alkenes was developed with bromomethyl silicate as a methylene transfer reagent, offering a robust tool for accessing highly valuable cyclopropanes. In addition to α-aryl or methyl-substituted Michael acceptors and styrene derivatives, the unactivated 1,1-dialkyl ethylenes were also shown to be viable substrates. Apart from realizing the cyclopropanation of terminal alkenes, the methyl transfer reaction has been further demonstrated to be amenable to the internal olefins. The photocatalytic cyclopropanation of 1,3-bis(1-arylethenyl)benzenes was also achieved, giving polycyclopropane derivatives in excellent yields. With late-stage cyclopropanation as the key strategy, the synthetic utility of this transformation was also demonstrated by the total synthesis of LG100268.
