A catalytic protio-semipinacol ring-expansion reaction for the highly
enantioselective conversion of tertiary vinylic cyclopropyl alcohols into
cyclobutanone products bearing α-quaternary stereogenic centers relies on the
cocatalytic effect of a chiral dual-hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) with hydrogen
chloride. In a stepwise mechanism, protonation of the alkene is followed by C-C
bond migration.

Hydroboration of 1-alkynyl-1-boronate esters and in situ transmetalation furnishes
1-alkenyl-1,1-borozinc heterobimetallic intermediates. Reaction with aldehydes
and in situ cyclopropanation generates B(pin) substituted cyclopropyl carbinols
with excellent diastereoselectivities. Oxidation provides trisubstituted
α-hydroxycyclopropyl carbinols, that allow access to both cis- and
trans-2,3-disubstituted cyclobutanones via a facile pinacol-type
rearrangement.

Chiral complexes developed previously for asymmetric additions of nucleophiles
to π-allylpalladium complexes are excellent in controlling enantioselectivity in
Wagner-Meerwein shifts. The versatility of the access to the requisite
substrates and the functionality of the obtained products should make this
approach an attractive asymmetric synthetic strategy.

Chemoselective C-C bond cleavages of reactive bicyclo[1.1.1]pent-1-yl alcohols (BCP-OHs)
provide cyclobutanone derivatives through a base-mediated single C-C bond
cleavage or α,β-unsaturated ketones by palladium-catalyzed dual C-C bond
cleavage.

Oxidative ring expansion of methylenecyclopropanes with CAN under oxygen
atmosphere was investigated. A facile conversion affording
2,2-diarylcyclobutanones occurred in good yields.

A catalytic radical process enables an asymmetric 1,4-C-H alkylation of
diazoketones for stereoselective construction of cyclobutanone structures. The
key to success is the optimization of the Co(II)-based metalloradical catalyst
through judicious modulation of a D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligand to
adopt proper steric, electronic, and chiral environments.

A stereospecific gold(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of 1-alkynyl cyclobutanols and
cyclopropanols provides alkylidene cycloalkanones. The reaction tolerates
terminal alkynes as well as alkyl, aryl, and halo-substitution at the acetylenic
position and substituents on the ring.

Halocycloalkenones are potent dienophiles in Diels-Alder cycloadditions.
2-Brominated cycloalkenone dienophiles are highly endo selective and
significantly more reactive than their nonhalogenated parent compounds. A
base-mediated reaction enables the facile conversion of brominated cyclobutanone
Diels-Alder adducts to synthetically useful cyclopropyl derivatives.
