The $H_2Ge=Ge:$ and its derivatives ($X_2Ge=Ge:$, X = H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar${\ldots}{\ldots}$) is a new species. Its cycloaddition reactions is a new area for the study of germylene chemistry. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet state Cl2Ge=Ge: and formaldehyde has been investigated with CCSD(T)//MP2/$6-31G^*$ method. From the potential energy profile, it could be predicted that the reaction has only one dominant reaction pathway. The reaction rule presented is that the two reactants first form a fourmembered Ge-heterocyclic ring germylene through the [2+2] cycloaddition reaction. Because of the 4p unoccupied orbital of Ge: atom in the four-membered Ge-heterocyclic ring germylene and the ${\pi}$ orbital of formaldehyde forming a ${\pi}{\rightarrow}p$ donor-acceptor bond, the four-membered Ge-heterocyclic ring germylene further combines with formaldehyde to form an intermediate. Because the Ge: atom in intermediate hybridizes to an $sp^3$ hybrid orbital after transition state, then, intermediate isomerizes to a spiro-Ge-heterocyclic ring compound via a transition state. The research result indicates the laws of cycloaddition reaction between $H_2Ge=Ge:$ and formaldehyde, and laid the theory foundation of the cycloaddition reaction between $H_2Ge=Ge:$ and its derivatives ($X_2Ge=Ge:$, X = H, Me, F, Cl, Br, Ph, Ar${\ldots}{\ldots}$) and asymmetric ${\pi}$-bonded compounds, which is significant for the synthesis of small-ring and spiro-Ge-heterocyclic compounds. The study extends research area and enriches the research content of germylene chemistry.

Photoaddition reactions of aromatic carbonyl compounds with silyl thioketene acetals have been explored. The results of this study show that the acetonphenone react with dimethyl substituted silyl thioketene acetal competitively via either single electron transfer (SET)-desilylation or [2+2]-cycloaddition pathways to produce b-hydroxyester and oxetanes. In contrast, photochemical reactions of the benzaldehyde with dimethyl substituted silyl thioketene acetal mainly lead to the formation of oxetanes arising by [2+2] cycloaddition. A comparison of the results with those of silyl ketene acetal revealed that replacement of sulfur atom in ${\alpha}$-silyl donor substrate bring about dramatic changes in chemoselectivities as well as excited state reaction mechanism.

In this study the cycloaddition of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and $CO_2$ using ionic liquid as catalyst was performed for the technology of $CO_2$ reduction. The structure of synthesized cyclic carbonate, [2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methacrylate (DOMA) was analyzed and confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR. The change in conversion with respect to reaction time was investigated using $^1H$-NMR. Interestingly, the ionic polymerization of vinyl groups and crosslinking reaction between cyclic carbonate rings of DOMA were observed following completion of cycloaddition.

Regio- and diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrones {(Z)-${\alpha}$-phenyl-N-methylnitrone (1a) and (Z)-${\alpha}$-propyl-N-butylnitrone (1b)} with electron-deficient perfluoro-2-methyl-2-pentene (2) lead to novel isoxazolidines {5-fluoro-5-pentafluoroethyl-4,4-bis-trifluoromethyl-2-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazolidine (3a) and 2-butyl-5-fluoro-5-pentafluoroethyl-4,4-bis-trifluoromethyl-3-propyl-isoxazolidines (3b) respectively} as major constituents. These derivatives were characterized by IR, $^1H$ and $^{19}F$ NMR, GC-MS and NOE measurements, and the absolute structure of 3a was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

Density functional theory was adopted to study the various surface products and their reaction channels focusing on the on-dimer configuration which has not been suggested before. Energetic results show that the most stable on-dimer configuration is the 6,6-[2+2] structure which resembles the typical [2+2] cycloaddition product. The 6,6-[2+2] product is also more stable than any other possible surface structures of inter-dimer configuration further suggesting its existence. Potential energy surface scan along various possible initial surface reactions show that some of the possible on-dimer surface products require virtually no reaction barrier indicating that initial population of on-dimer surface products is thermodynamically determined. Various surface isomerization reaction channels exist further facilitating thermal redistribution of the initial surface products.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofurans bearing a variety of substituents on the dihydrofuran ring was achieved by the reaction of cyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds with styrene and vinyl acetate. The key strategy was AgBF$_4$/[Bmim]BF$_4$-catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition. The synthesized dihydrofurans with an acetate group were further converted to the corresponding 3-acylfurans.

Syntheses of carbapenam skeletons were achieved from 3-benzyloxypropanal through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. 3-Benzyloxypropanal was reacted with N-hydroxyglycine ester to give C-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-N-alkoxycarbonylmethylnitrone (6). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrone with ethyl crotonate gave 3-(2-benzyloxyethyl)isoxazolidine (7). Compound 7 was transformed to 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-azetidinone (11). Compound 11 was converted to 4-(2-iodoethyl)-2-azetidinone (13) or 4-phenylthiocarbonylmethyl-2-azetidinone (16) which was cyclized to give 6-(1-hydroxyethyl)carbapenam-3-carboxylate (14, 17).

A variety of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives bearing acyclic sugar moieties of DHPG and iso-NDG were synthesised by Diels-Alder reaction. None of the new compounds display any interesting biological activity.
