Abstract
Conjugated dienes (1,3-dienes) are versatile and valuable chemical feedstocks that can be used as two-carbon or four-carbon synthons with vast applications across the chemical industry. However, the main challenge for their productive incorporation in synthetic routes is their chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective functionalization. Herein, we introduce a unified strategy for the 1,2-hydroarylation and 1,4-trifluoromethylarylation of 1,3-dienes using anilines in hexafluoroisopropanol. DFT calculations point toward a kinetically controlled process in both transformations, particularly in the trifluoromethylarylation, to explain the regiodivergent outcome. In addition, we perform an extensive program of functionalization and diversification of the products obtained, including hydrogenation, oxidation, cyclizations, or cross-coupling reactions, that allows access to a library of high-value species in a straightforward manner.

Abstract
For transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization, precise differentiation between remote adjacent C(sp2)-H bonds remains a long-standing challenge. Here, the template structure-directivity relationship on remote C-H functionalization of arenes was experimentally and computationally studied. By using geometry-tunable templates, Pd-catalyzed remote meta- and para-C-H activation of benzoic acids was achieved with high site selectivity.

Abstract
Non-directed C-H arylation is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize biaryl compounds without the need of the prefuctionalization of starting materials, or the installment and removal of directing groups on the substrate. A direct C-H arylation of simple arenes as limiting reactants remains a challenge. Here we disclose a non-directed C-H arylation of anisole derivatives as limiting reagents with aryl iodides under mild reaction conditions. The arylated products are obtained in synthetically useful yields and the arylation of bioactive molecules is also demonstrated. Key to the success of this methodology is the use of a one-step synthesized S,O-ligand.

Abstract
An efficient and broadly applicable rhodium-catalyzed direct ortho-arylation of anilines with aryl iodides relying on readily available aminophosphines as traceless directing groups is reported. Its scope and functional group compatibility were both found to be quite broad as a large variety of both aminophosphines and (hetero)aryl iodides, including complex ones, could be utilized. The ortho-arylated anilines could be obtained in high average yields, without any competing diarylation and with full regioselectivity, which constitutes a major step forward compared to other processes. The reaction is moreover not limited to aryl iodides, as an aryl bromide and a triflate could be successfully used, and could be extended to diarylation. Mechanistic studies revealed the key and unique role of the aminophosphine, acting not only as a substrate but also as a ligand for the rhodium catalyst.

Abstract
Aromatic amines are ubiquitous moieties in organic molecules and their direct functionalization is of great interest in many research areas due to their prevalence in pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. While several synthetic tools exist for the ortho- and para-functionalization of anilines, the functionalization of the less reactive meta-position is not easy to achieve with current methods. To date, the meta-C-H arylation of aniline derivatives has been restricted to either the use of directing groups & templates, or their transformation into anilides & quaternary anilinium salts. Herein, we report the first general and efficient meta-C-H-arylation of non-directed aniline derivatives via cooperative catalysis with a palladium-S,O-ligand-norbornene system. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with a wide range of aniline derivatives and aryl iodides, while being operationally simple and scalable. Our preliminary mechanistic investigation-including the isolation of several palladium complexes and deuterium experiments-reveal useful insights into the substituent-effects of both the aniline-substrate and the norbornene-mediator during the meta-C-H activation step.

Abstract
Nitrogen containing compounds, such as anilines, are some of the most widespread and useful chemical species, although their high and unselective reactivity has prevented their incorporation into many interesting transformations, such as the functionalization of alkenes. Herein we report a method that allows the trifluoromethylarylation of alkenes using anilines, for the first time, with no need for additives, transition metals, photocatalysts or an excess of reagents. An in-depth mechanistic study reveals the key role of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a unique solvent, establishing a hydrogen bonding network with aniline and trifluoromethyl reagent, that is responsible for the altered reactivity and exquisite selectivity. This work uncovers a new mode of reactivity that involves the use of abundant anilines as a non-prefunctionalized aromatic source and the simultaneous activation of trifluoromethyl hypervalent iodine reagent.

Abstract
In this review, the complete tautomeric equilibria are derived for disubstituted pyrimidine nucleic acid bases starting from phenol, aniline, and their model compounds-monosubstituted aromatic azines. The differences in tautomeric preferences for isolated (gaseous) neutral pyrimidine bases and their model compounds are discussed in light of different functional groups, their positions within the six-membered ring, electronic effects, and intramolecular interactions. For the discussion of tautomeric preferences and for the analysis of internal effects, recent quantum-chemical results are taken into account and compared to some experimental ones. For each possible tautomer-rotamer of the title compounds, the bond length alternation, measured by means of the harmonic oscillator model of electron delocalization (HOMED) index, is examined. Significant HOMED similarities exist for mono- and disubstituted derivatives. The lack of parallelism between the geometric (HOMED) and energetic (ΔG) parameters for all possible isomers clearly shows that aromaticity is not the main factor that dictates tautomeric preferences for pyrimidine bases, particularly for uracil and thymine. The effects of one-electron loss (positive ionization) and one-electron gain (negative ionization) on prototropy and bond length alternation are also reviewed for pyrimidine bases and their models.

Abstract
Nitrogen scanning in aryl fragments is a valuable aspect of the drug discovery process, but current strategies require time-intensive, parallel, bottom-up synthesis of each pyridyl isomer because of a lack of direct carbon-to-nitrogen (C-to-N) replacement reactions. We report a site-directable aryl C-to-N replacement reaction allowing unified access to various pyridine isomers through a nitrene-internalization process. In a two-step, one-pot procedure, aryl azides are first photochemically converted to 3H-azepines, which then undergo an oxidatively triggered C2-selective cheletropic carbon extrusion through a spirocyclic azanorcaradiene intermediate to afford the pyridine products. Because the ipso carbon of the aryl nitrene is excised from the molecule, the reaction proceeds regioselectively without perturbation of the remainder of the substrate. Applications are demonstrated in the abbreviated synthesis of a pyridyl derivative of estrone, as well as in a prototypical nitrogen scan.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed C-H functionalizations on the aryl ring of anilines usually need cumbersome N-protection-deprotection strategies to ensure chemoselectivity. We describe here the Pd-catalyzed direct C-H arylation of unprotected anilines with no competition of the N-arylation product. The ligand [2,2'-bipyridin]-6(1H)-one drives the chemoselectivity by kinetic differentiation in the product-forming step, while playing a cooperating role in the C-H cleavage step. The latter is favored in an anionic intermediate where the NH moiety is deprotonated, driving the regioselectivity of the reaction toward ortho substitution.
