Concise Synthesis of (+)-allo-Kainic Acid via MgI2-Mediated Tandem Aziridine Ring Opening-Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition [PDF]
3-Methyl vinyl aziridine undergoes a mild MgI2-promoted S(N)2' ring opening and concomitant cyclization with fumarate Michael acceptors to give trisubstituted pyrrolidines. The process is efficient and highly diastereoselective. This methodology has been

Energy Transfer Catalysis Enabled 2,2,2‐Trifluoroethoxy‐Amination of Olefins
A thioxanthone‐catalyzed 2,2,2‐trifluoroethoxyamination of olefins is developed using unprecedented, easily prepared, and bench‐stable oxime ethers via the generation of alkoxy and iminyl radicals. The controlled intermolecular addition of the alkoxy radical to an olefin, over possible competing side processes, is critical.

Reactivity of δ‐Functionalized Para‐Quinone Methides in Nucleophilic Addition Reactions
The reactivities of δ‐functionalized para‐quinone methides (pQMs) were characterized by kinetic studies of their reactions with carbanions in DMSO. Evaluating the second‐order rate constants (k2) by the Mayr‐Patz equation gave the electrophilicities E of pQMs.

Iodine-catalyzed diazo activation to access radical reactivity
Radical reactivity of diazo compounds, useful organic building blocks, is yet underexplored. Here, the authors report an iodine-catalyzed radical activation of diazo compounds affording a variety of substituted cyclopropanes, pyrroles and epoxides under ...

Olefin Cyclopropanation via Carbene Transfer Catalyzed by Engineered Cytochrome P450 Enzymes [PDF]
Transition metal–catalyzed transfers of carbenes, nitrenes, and oxenes are powerful methods for functionalizing C=C and C–H bonds. Nature has evolved a diverse toolbox for oxene transfers, as exemplified by the myriad monooxygenation reactions catalyzed ...

Stereoselective synthesis of tetrahydroindolizines via catalytic formation of pyridinium ylides from diazo compounds [PDF]
Commercially available iron (III) and copper (I) complexes catalyze new multicomponent cycloadditions between diazo compounds, pyridines and electrophilic alkenes to give alkaloid-inspired tetrahydroindolizidines in high yields and diastereoselectivities.

From fleeting intermediates to well‐defined molecular structures, carbenes (neutral divalent carbon) remind us that the most reactive ideas often make a large impact. Despite their wide‐ranging applications, the direct characterization of these reactive species remains a persistent experimental challenge.

Structure of Cyclopropane [PDF]
ALTHOUGH I am pleased to note that Dr. A. D. Walsh has made a final contribution to this discussion, it may nevertheless be possible to correct a mis-statement. He says1 that I take the usual formula to represent only the position in space of the atoms involved. What I actually wrote was2: ". . . to the usual formulae. These represent nothing more than

The ionization of anthracene, acridine, and phenazine has been explored, along with the removal of one and two hydrogen atoms, to provide valuable information for astrochemists and to understand the behavior of the resulting structures and their electronic reorganization. Abstract In this study, we systematically explored the stability and isomerism of
