Article Abstract
The dearomatization of 2-naphthols represents a simple method for the construction of complex 3D structures from simple planar starting materials. We describe a cyclopropanation of 2-naphthols that proceeds via cyclopropene ring-opening using rhodium and acid catalysis under mild conditions. The vinyl cyclopropane molecules were formed with high chemoselectivity and scalability, which could be further functionalized at different sites. Both computational and experimental evidence were used to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

The ring opening of cyclopropenes provides a compelling platform for the rapid synthesis of various polysubstituted acyclic alkenes. However, radical-mediated reactions of this type remain underexplored, and none of the existing methods have successfully produced tetrasubstituted olefins with high stereoselectivity. We present here an aminative ring-opening of cyclopropenes with iron-aminyl radical to afford tetrasubstituted alkenyl nitriles in a highly stereoselective manner.

Cyclopropylamines are an important subclass of substituted cyclopropanes that combine the unique electronic and steric properties of cyclopropanes with the presence of a donor nitrogen atom. In addition to their presence in a diverse array of biologically active compounds, cyclopropylamines are utilized as important synthetic intermediates, particularly in ring-opening or cycloaddition reactions. Consequently, the synthesis of these compounds has constituted a significant research topic, as evidenced by the abundant published synthetic methods.

In this paper, we describe a new type of cross-coupling between simple diazo and vinyldiazo compounds that gives access to unusual allyldiazo products. Blue light discriminates two diazo compounds towards free carbene formation, triggering sequential cyclopropenation, (3+2) cycloaddition and ring opening rearrangement processes. This strategy involves an overall reshuffle of diazo functionality and olefinic carbons of vinyldiazo compounds with an extrusion of nitrogen.

Sulfone motifs play important roles in bioactive compounds and functional materials. The development of efficient methodologies for constructing sulfonyl-containing compounds has thus attracted considerable attention. Here, we introduce a protocol for the preparation of alkyl aryl sulfones under mild conditions.
