Abstract
[1,2]-Phospha-Brook rearrangement entails the generation of α-oxygenated carbanions via the umpolung process. Recently, these anionic species have been widely utilized for several C-C bond forming strategies, providing various useful frameworks that are difficult to access through conventional approaches. However, the application of this powerful methodology in the development of chiral strategies is still at the nascent stage due to challenges involved in controlling chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This synopsis provides a detailed summary of diastereo- and/or enantioselective chemical transformations using [1,2]-phospha-Brook rearrangement.

Abstract
The modern synthetic chemistry heavily relies on the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents to react with various electrophiles. The dependence on stoichiometric quantities of metals and often organic halides as precursors, in turn both produces copious amounts of metal halide wastes as well as leads to concerns on future metal sustainability. Inspired by the classical Wolff-Kishner reduction, our lab has recently developed a general strategy of HOME-Chemistry , directly using naturally abundant alcohols/aldehydes and ketones as feedstocks with the releasing of innocuous water and nitrogen gas. These reactions include 1,2-carbonyl/imine addition, conjugate addition, carboxylation, olefination, cross-coupling arylation/allylation, alkylation, hydroalkylation and C-heteroatom formations. This article provides a brief summary on this chemistry.

Abstract
A novel organobase-catalyzed umpolung reaction of amides was disclosed. This method provides an efficient method to generate and transfer carbamoyl anions. In this transformation, some of the inherent disadvantages of carbamoyl metal were avoided. The mechanistic analysis revealed that the reaction proceeds through polarity inversion of amide, and various carbamoyl anions were applied in the reaction. Moreover, a wide range of substrates was achieved with moderate to excellent yield.

Abstract
The direct conversion of naturally abundant carbonyl compounds provides a powerful platform for the efficient synthesis of valuable chemicals. In particular, the conversion of ketones to alkenes is a commonly encountered chemical transformation, often achieved via the multistep Shapiro reaction with tosylhydrazone and over stoichiometric organolithium or Grignard reagent. Herein, we report an earth abundant nickel-catalyzed alkenylation of naturally abundant methylene ketones to afford a wide range of alkene derivatives, mediated by hydrazine. The protocol features a broad substrate scope (including alkyl ketones, aryl ketones, and aldehydes), good functional group compatibility, mild reaction conditions, water tolerance, and only environmentally friendly N2, H2, and H2O as theoretical byproducts. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis with good yield and generation of pharmaceutical intermediates highlighted its practical applicability.
