The cyclopropanation of alkenes through the transition-metal-catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds is a powerful and straightforward strategy to produce cyclopropanes. Nevertheless, the appeal of further application of this strategy is tempered by the potentially explosive nature of the diazo substrates. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop sustainable and operationally safe surrogates for diazo compounds. In this synpacts article, we discuss recent advances on the cyclopropane syntheses through the catalytic cyclopropanation of alkenes and metal-carbenes generated in-situ from non-diazo precursors, as well as highlight our recent progress on the unprecedented molybdenum-catalyzed deoxygenative cyclopropanation reaction of 1,2-dicarbonyl or monocarbonyl compounds.

Borane Cluster

Aromatic heterocycles are ubiquitous building blocks in bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Accordingly, the carborane-fused heterocycles would be potential candidates in drug discovery, nanomaterials, metallacarboranes, as well as photoluminescent materials. In recent years, the transition metal catalyzed B-H activation has been proved to be an effective protocol for selective functionalization of B-H bond of o-carboranes, which has been further extended for the synthesis of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via cascade B-H functionalization/annulation process. This article summarizes the recent progress in construction of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via B-H activation.

Remarkable Progress

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings have been recognized as a powerful tool for sustainable syntheses. Despite the fact that remarkable progress was achieved by palladium and nickel catalysis, the high price and toxicity still remained a drawback. Recently, naturally more abundant and less toxic low-valent chromium salts, such as Cr(II) and Cr(III) chlorides, displayed notable unique catalytic reactivity. Thus, recent progress in the field of chromium-catalyzed cross-couplings and related reactions are highlighted in the present short review until December­ 2018.1 Introduction and Early Chromium-Mediated Reactions2 Chromium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings and Related Reactions3 Conclusion
