(matrix presented) Nu-H can be alcohols, thiols, phenols, carboxylic acids yield: 60%-100%. Methylenecyclopropanes can react with various nucleophiles such as alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, and thiols to give the corresponding homoallylic esters or
Early main group metal catalysis: How important is the metal?

Organocalcium compounds have been reported as efficient catalysts for various alkene transformations. In contrast to transition metal catalysis, the alkenes are not activated by metal-alkene orbital interactions. Instead it is proposed that alkene activation proceeds through an electrostatic interaction with a Lewis acidic Ca2+. The role of the metal was evaluated by a study using the metal-free catalysts: [Ph2N-Me4N+] and [Ph3C-][Me4N- ]. These "naked" amides and carbanions can act as catalysts in the conversion of activated double bonds (C=O and C=N) in the hydroamination of Ar-N=C=O and R-N=C=N=R (R=alkyl) by Ph2NH. For the intramolecular hydroamination of unactivated C=C bonds in H2C=CHCH2CPh2CH2NH2 the presence of a metal cation is crucial. A new type of hybrid catalyst consisting of a strong organic Schwesinger base and a simple metal salt can act as catalyst for the intramolecular alkene hydroamination. The influence of the cation in catalysis is further evaluated by a DFT study.

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.
Controllable Isomerization of Alkenes by Dual Visible-Light-Cobalt Catalysis

We report herein that thermodynamic and kinetic isomerization of alkenes can be accomplished by the combination of visible light with Co catalysis. Utilizing Xantphos as the ligand, the most stable isomers are obtained, while isomerizing terminal alkenes over one position can be selectively controlled by using DPEphos as the ligand. The presence of the donor–acceptor dye 4CzIPN accelerates the reaction further. Transformation of exocyclic alkenes into the corresponding endocyclic products could be efficiently realized by using 4CzIPN and Co(acac)2 in the absence of any additional ligands. Spectroscopic and spectroelectrochemical investigations indicate CoI being involved in the generation of a Co hydride, which subsequently adds to alkenes initiating the isomerization.

A directing group-free, ligand-promoted palladium-catalyzed C?H arylation of internal alkynes with simple arenes was developed. Alkenyl chlorides resulting from a 1,4-chlorine migration or trisubstituted alkenes were produced in moderate to good yields depending on the type of alkyne.
