We report a one-step, Ru(II)-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction that is conceptually different from the previously reported protocols that include Corey-Chaykovsky, Simmons-Smith, and metal catalyzed carbene attack on olefins. Under the current protocol, various alcohols are transformed into sulfone substituted cyclopropanes with excellent isolated yields and diastereoselectivities. This new reaction forms highly congested cyclopropane products with three new C–C bonds, three or two new chiral centers and one new quaternary carbon center. 22 examples of isolated substrates are given. Previously reported synthetic routes for similar substrates are all multi-step, linear routes that proceed with overall low yields and poor control of stereochemistry. Experimental mechanistic investigations suggest initial metal-catalyzed dehydrogenation of the alcohol substrate and catalyst independent stepwise attack of two equivalents of sulfone on the aldehyde under basic conditions. While the Ru(II) is only responsible for the initial dehydrogenation step, the rate of aldehyde formation is crucial to maintaining the right balance of intermediates needed to afford the cyclopropane product.

Simultaneous sulfonylation/arylation of styrene derivatives is achieved in a photoredox-catalyzed three-component reaction using visible light. A broad variety of difunctionalized products is accessible in mostly excellent yields and high diastereoselectivity. The developed reaction is scalable and suitable for the modification of styrene-functionalized biomolecules. Mechanistic investigations suggest the transformation to be operating through a designed sequence of radical formation and radical combination.<br>

The activity of ruthenium, palladium, and nickel catalysts for the hydrogenation of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene in cyclohexane solution was studied at temperatures up to 180 °C and pressures up to 8 MPa. The GC-MS technique was used to identify most of the perhydroacenaphthylene stereoisomers, whose fractions in the product were found dependent on the nature of the active component of the catalyst. The hydrogenation was fastest on the palladium catalyst (3% Pd/C). The nickel catalyst Ni-NiO/Al2O3, which is sufficiently active also after repeated use, can be recommended for practical application. The activation energy of 1,2-dihydroacenaphthylene hydrogenation using this catalyst is 17 kJ/mol, the reaction order with respect to hydrogen is unity.
