Abstract
Nitrosyl triflate is an excellent donor of NO+ to C═C and very unreactive benzenoids, in contrast to the much less reactive nitrosyl mesylate. However, both of these reagents are strongly activated by the bis-coordinating Lewis acids TiCl4 and SnCl4 and become super reactive NO+ donors. Strong catalysis and activation are even observed with the inherently less electrophilic nitrosyl trifluoroacetate. Monocoordinating strong Lewis acids, e.g., MeAlCl2, are relatively ineffective.

Abstract
Nitrosyl triflate is shown to react with olefins in a CH2Cl2 solution by three different pathways depending on structure and reaction conditions: (1) cationic cyclization, (2) C═C cleavage, and (3) allylic nitrosation. Possible reaction pathways are described.

Abstract
The mechanistic pathway for the formation of 1,2-oxazetes by reaction of olefins with nitrous anhydride has been clarified. The initial reaction intermediate, a β-nitroso nitrite ester that is sensitive to light, undergoes O-NO fission to form a β-nitroso alkoxy radical, even with ambient fluorescent lighting but much faster with blue light irradiation. The oxygen of the alkoxy radical subsequently adds to the adjacent nitroso group to generate a cyclic four-membered nitrosyl radical. The 1,2-oxazete is then produced by elimination to generate the C═N bond. No 1,2-oxazete formation occurs in the dark.

Abstract
Nitrosyl triflate (TfONO) can be generated in situ from tetra-n-butylammonium nitrite and triflic anhydride (1:1) in CH2Cl2 solution at ca. -30 °C. It acts as a powerful and soluble nitrosating agent with a wide range of olefinic or aromatic substrates. Nitrous anhydride (O═N-O-N═O) can be generated in the same way using tetra-n-butylammonium nitrite and triflic anhydride (2:1) in CH2Cl2 solution at ca. -30 °C. Each reagent has been isolated and characterized. They react with olefins to give different products. Nitrosyl triflate is an excellent reagent for generating either vinylic or allylic nitroso compounds or their dimeric bisoxazo derivates. Nitrous anhydride efficiently converts many olefins to 1,2-oxazetes in a single step, making this class of compounds readily available from olefins for the first time. We have also discovered another route to 1,2-oxazetes involving a novel rearrangement/isomerization of allylic nitroso compounds which is catalyzed by Pd-C/H2.

Abstract
Three different methods have been developed that effectively utilize chiral oxiranes derived from Katsuki-Sharpless epoxidation of allylic alcohols as initiating groups for cationic cyclization of unsaturated substrates to form chiral polycycles. This type of transformation has previously been problematic. These employ either epoxy-methoximes, vinyl-substituted oxiranes, or hydroxymethyl oxiranes. All three approaches are described in detail. In addition, this research has led to possible explanations for previously encountered difficulties in this area and provided two new insights into the Lewis acid activation of oxiranes. The methodology described herein constitutes a valuable link between two powerful synthetic constructions, enantioselective Katsuki-Sharpless epoxidation and cationic polycyclization reactions.

Abstract
Lithiation of α-C-H groups in organic substrates by RLi or R2NLi followed by silylation with R'3SiCl generally provides analogous products regardless of the R' group of R'3SiCl. A striking exception using 3,4-benzothiophane as substrate depending on whether R' is methyl, phenyl, or isopropyl is demonstrated. With R' = Me or Ph, the geminal α,α-bis-silylated products result whereas with i-Pr3SiCl the trans-α,α'-bis-silylated sulfide is formed. The latter pathway provides ready access to the C2-symmetric enantiomers of trans-2,5-bis(triisopropylsilyl)-3,4-benzothiophane.

Key points of the proposed pathway include (1) the formation of a Mn(V)-salen dibromide, (2) its subsequent reaction with the alcohol to give an alkoxy-Mn(V) species, and (3) carbonyl-forming elimination to produce the ketone via a highly organized transition state with intramolecular transfer of hydrogen from carbon to an oxygen of the salen ligand.

Abstract
One hundred years after the birth of Kurt Alder and seventy-five years after the discovery of his famous reaction, one of the most important and fascinating transformations in chemistry, research on that process continues to surprise, excite, delight, and inform the chemical community. This article is based on presentations given first at the University of Cologne, Germany (Kurt Alder lecture, 1992), then at the Roger Adams Award Symposium (1993), and later at the Bürgenstock Conference of 2001, and describes research by our group on the development and understanding of enantioselective versions of the Diels-Alder reactions. The elements of this review include (1) development of new chiral Lewis acid catalysts for highly enantioselective (>25:1) [4+2] cycloadditions; (2) the fine mechanistic details and pre-transition-state assemblies of these reactions; (3) the fundamental understanding of catalytic activity and enantioselectivity for highly enantioselective Diels-Alder processes; and (4) applications to the synthesis of complex molecules. The range and power of the Diels-Alder reaction have steadily increased over seven decades. The end of this remarkable development is not in sight, a high compliment to this field of Science and to its great inventor.

Abstract
Short, practical, and scalable syntheses of (+/-)-7-methylomuralide and (-)-7-methylomuralide have been developed. Three consecutive tandem reaction pairs establish all of the carbons and the stereochemistry of the target molecule, vastly simplifying the synthetic scheme from N-trichloroethoxycarbonyl glycine. The chiral directing group controls the absolute stereochemistry of the key aldol reaction.
