Vinyldiazo compounds undergo a thermal electrocyclization to form pyrazoles in yields of up to 95percent. The reactions are operationally simple, use readily available starting materials, require no intervention of a catalyst, and enable the synthesis of mono-, di- A nd tri-substituted pyrazoles. With the ability to produce highly substituted pyrazoles and the flexibility in installing various types of substituents, this method constitutes a new entry to this valuable heterocyclic scaffold and may be of interest to all branches of the chemical industry.

Cu(I) catalysts enable C-B bond formation via direct insertion of vinyldiazoacetates into B-H bonds of borane-phosphine Lewis adducts to form phosphine-protected allylboranes under mild conditions. The resulting allylborane-phosphine Lewis adducts can be used in the diastereoselective allylation of aldehydes directly without the need for removal of the phosphine. The allylation reaction proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and yields 5,6-disubstituted dihydropyranones after treatment with an appropriate acid.

Abiological enzymes offers new opportunities for sustainable chemistry. Herein, we report the development of biological catalysts derived from sperm whale myoglobin that exploit a carbene transfer mechanism for the asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropane-fused-δ-lactones, which are key structural motifs found in many biologically active natural products. While hemin, wild-type myoglobin, and other hemoproteins are unable to catalyze this reaction, the myoglobin scaffold could be remodeled by protein engineering to permit the intramolecular cyclopropanation of a broad spectrum of homoallylic diazoacetate substrates in high yields and with up to 99 % enantiomeric excess. Via an alternate evolutionary trajectory, a stereodivergent biocatalyst was also obtained for affording mirror-image forms of the desired bicyclic products. In combination with whole-cell transformations, the myoglobin-based biocatalyst was used for the asymmetric construction of a cyclopropyl-δ-lactone scaffold at a gram scale, which could be further elaborated to furnish a variety of enantiopure trisubstituted cyclopropanes.
Stereoselective Ring-Opening of gem-Difluorocyclopropanes: An Entry to Stereo-defined (E,E)- and (E,Z)-Conjugated Fluorodienes

The ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropyl acetaldehydes producing selectively (E,E)- and (E,Z)-conjugated fluorodienals is described. Two stereo-divergent methods are presented to access both stereoisomers from a common precursor, in high yield and selectivity. The mechanistic aspect of these transformations is discussed.
A highly selective and general palladium catalyst for the oxidative heck reaction of electronically nonbiased olefins
Werner, Erik W.,Sigman, Matthew S.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 13981 - 13983 (2010/12/24)
A general, highly selective oxidative Heck reaction is reported. The reaction is high-yielding under mild conditions without the need for base or high temperatures, and the selectivity is excellent, without the requirement for electronically biased olefins or other specific directing groups. A preliminary mechanistic investigation suggests that the unusually high selectivity may be due to the catalyst's sensitivity to C-H bond strength in the selectivity-determining β-hydride elimination step.
