A new method for the efficient synthesis of hexahydro-1H-fluorene and octahydrobenzo[a]azulene derivatives through a ring-expansion strategy is reported. With an appropriate combination of thulium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate and 13X molecular sieves, a range of unsaturated polycycliccompounds were obtained in good yields. Mechanism studies reveal that the reaction is more likely to undergo Meyer–Schuster

The synthesis of 1-pyrrolinesfrom cyclobutanol derivatives and an aminating reagent (MsONH3OTf) has been developed. This one-pot procedure achieves C–N bond/C═N bond formation via ring expansion. A series of 1-pyrroline derivatives are synthesized in moderate to good yields under mild conditions.
We report the first terminal trifluoromethylation at aryl and alkyl ketones’ γ, δ, ε, or more remote sites via the selective C–C bond cleavage of cycloalkanols. The noncovalent interactions between alcohols and hypervalent iodines(III) reagents were disclosed to activate both alcohols and the Togni I reagent in the dual photoredox/copper catalysis for the transformation. This reaction was scalable

Selective <i>cine</i>-arylation of <i>tert</i>-cyclobutanols with indoles enabled by nickel catalysis
nickel-catalyzed cine-arylation of tert-cyclobutanols with indoles to access β-aryl ketones with an unusual site-selectivity at the C3-position of tert-cyclobutanols. The reaction features earth-abundant nickelcatalysis, excellent regioselectivity, high atom-economy, and broad substrate scope.
We herein report an efficient and systematic synthesis of 1-pyrrolines from cyclobutyl azides under thermal and neutral conditions. The reaction proceeded without any additional reagents, and nitrogen was generated as the sole by-product. Furthermore, the generated 1-pyrrolines could be continuously transformed into pyrroles, N-Boc-amines, and oxaziridines in an one-pot manner.
