Nevertheless, this burgeoning field still faces ongoing challenges, including limitations of radical precursors and coupling partners, and difficulties in achieving enantiocontrol. Herein, we report for the first time a highly enantioselective radical allylation involving β-keto esters with vinyl cyclopropanes utilizing a synergistic dual photoredox/nickel catalysis under visible light irradiation. The mild and redox-neutral catalytic protocol demonstrates an extensive substrate compatibility and good functional tolerance, providing access to enantioenriched β-keto esters featuring quaternary α-stereocenter with good yields and high enantioselectivities. Preliminary mechanistic studies have uncovered that the success of the reaction hinges on the dual roles of nickel catalyst, including in situ formation of photoredox sensitive substrate/Ni complex and the ensuing asymmetric radical addition step.展开更多

For exploring the possibility of synthesis, the bond order, heats of formation(HOF), bond dissociation energy(BDE), and characteristic height were calculated. Based on our results, A3 has the best detonation characters. Both A1 and A2 showed comparative detonation parameters and compact sensitivity with RDX, and could be regarded as the candidates of high energy density molecules.Both the heats of formation and explosive heats rose with the increase of nitrimino groups and the strain energy of three-membered ring. For A1 compound, pyrolysis mechanism might be a mix one(breakages of C–C and N–NO2 bonds). However, for A2 and A3 compounds, the N–NO2 is the trigger bond in explosive reactions. Our results may provide the basic information for further study of this kind of compounds.展开更多

The results showed that, identical with the lithium carbenoid, CH3SmCH2X（X=Cl, Br and Ⅰ） can fairly react with ethylene via both methylene transfer pathway （pathway A） and carbometalation pathway （pathway B）. And the cyclopropanation reaction via methylene transfer pathway proceeds with a lower barrier and at lower temperatures.展开更多
