Abstract
We report the synthesis of 1,4-diaryl-5-cyano-1,2,3-triazoles from azides and alkynes via two copper-mediated steps. Aryl-substituted cyanotriazoles are emissive in nonpolar solvents. When the N1-aryl group is electron-donating, the photoconversion of a cyanotriazole to a cyanoindole is efficient. Each of the seven pairs of 4- and 5-cyanotriazole isomers is photoconverted to either distinctive cyanoindoles without rearrangement or a major cyanoindole product via the presumed common intermediate azirine. The resulting cyanoindoles appear to be stronger emitters in polar solvents than the parent cyanotriazoles.

Abstract
Hemoproteins have recently emerged as powerful biocatalysts for new-to-nature carbene transfer reactions. Despite this progress, these strategies have remained largely limited to diazo-based carbene precursor reagents. Here, we report the development of a biocatalytic strategy for the stereoselective construction of pyridine-functionalized cyclopropanes via the hemoprotein-mediated activation of pyridotriazoles (PyTz) as stable and readily accessible carbene sources. This method enables the asymmetric cyclopropanation of a variety of olefins, including electron-rich and electrodeficient ones, with high activity, high stereoselectivity, and enantiodivergent selectivity, providing access to mono- and diarylcyclopropanes that incorporate a pyridine moiety and thus two structural motifs of high value in medicinal chemistry. Mechanistic studies reveal a multifaceted role of 7-halogen substitution in the pyridotriazole reagent toward favoring multiple catalytic steps in the transformation. This work provides the first example of asymmetric olefin cyclopropanation with pyridotriazoles, paving the way to the exploitation of these attractive and versatile reagents for enzyme-catalyzed carbene-mediated reactions.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed transannulation reactions triggered by the extrusion of small gaseous molecules have emerged as a powerful strategy for the efficient construction of heterocyclic compounds. However, their use in asymmetric synthesis remains challenging because of the difficulty in controlling stereo- and regioselectivity. Herein, we report the first nickel-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of N-N atropisomers by the denitrogenative transannulation of benzotriazones with alkynes. A broad range of N-N atropisomers was obtained with excellent regio- and enantioselectivity under mild conditions. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the nickel-catalyzed reaction mechanism and enantioselectivity control.

Abstract
A catalytic-condition-controlled synthesis strategy was reported to build quinolizinone and indolizine derivatives from the easily available enamide and triazole substrates with high regioselectivity and good functional group tolerance. More especially, this transformation has successfully fulfilled a C-H bond activation of terminal olefin from enamides followed by a [3 + 3] and a [2 + 3] cyclization cascade under different catalytic conditions, respectively, to provide two kinds of potentially biologically active heterocyclic scaffolds with a ring-junction nitrogen atom. Mechanistically, the methoxyamine formyl group serves as either a traceless directing group (DG) or an oxidizing DG via the C-N and C-C cleavage in this protocol.

Abstract
We herein first report the homodimerization and tandem diamination of diazo compounds with primary amines catalyzed by the iron(II) phthalocyanine (PcFe(II)), which can construct one C-C bond and two C-N bonds within 20 min in one-pot. Compared to the traditional metal-catalyzed N-H insertion reaction between amines with diazo reagents, the developed reaction almost does not generate the N-H insertion product, but the homodimerization/tandem diamination product. The proposed mechanism studies indicate that primary amines play a crucial role in the homocoupling of diazo compounds via dimerization of iron(III)-acetonitrile radical generated from the reaction between diazoacetonitrile with PcFe(II) coordinated by bis(amines); the β-hydride elimination is involved, and then, the attack of primary amines toward the carbon atoms on the formed C-C bond is followed. Moreover, this novel reaction can be used to effectively prepare substituted 2,3-diaminosuccinonitriles with high yields and even up to >99:1 d.r., encouragingly these products contain both 1,2-diamines and succinonitrile motifs, which are two classes of important organic compounds with significant applications in many yields. This reaction is also suitable for the gram-scale preparation of 2,3-bis(phenylamino)succinonitrile (2a) with a yield of 84%. Therefore, the developed reaction represents a new type of transformation.

Abstract
Since Friedrich Wöhler's groundbreaking synthesis of urea in 1828, organic synthesis over the past two centuries has predominantly relied on the exploration and utilization of chemical reactions rooted in two-electron heterolytic ionic chemistry. While one-electron homolytic radical chemistry is both rich in fundamental reactivities and attractive with practical advantages, the synthetic application of radical reactions has been long hampered by the formidable challenges associated with the control over reactivity and selectivity of high-energy radical intermediates. To fully harness the untapped potential of radical chemistry for organic synthesis, there is a pressing need to formulate radically different concepts and broadly applicable strategies to address these outstanding issues. In pursuit of this objective, researchers have been actively developing metalloradical catalysis (MRC) as a comprehensive framework to guide the design of general approaches for controlling over reactivity and stereoselectivity of homolytic radical reactions. Essentially, MRC exploits the metal-centered radicals present in open-shell metal complexes as one-electron catalysts for homolytic activation of substrates to generate metal-entangled organic radicals as the key intermediates to govern the reaction pathway and stereochemical course of subsequent catalytic radical processes. Different from the conventional two-electron catalysis by transition metal complexes, MRC operates through one-electron chemistry utilizing stepwise radical mechanisms.

Abstract
Direct conversion of hydrocarbons into amines represents an important and atom-economic goal in chemistry for decades. However, intermolecular cross-coupling of terminal alkenes with amines to form branched amines remains extremely challenging. Here, a visible-light and Co-dual catalyzed direct allylic C─H amination of alkenes with free amines to afford branched amines has been developed. Notably, challenging aliphatic amines with strong coordinating effect can be directly used as C─N coupling partner to couple with allylic C─H bond to form advanced amines with molecular complexity. Moreover, the reaction proceeds with exclusive regio- and chemoselectivity at more steric hinder position to deliver primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic amines with diverse substitution patterns that are difficult to access otherwise.

Abstract
Research on synthesizing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffolds is important because these structures are commonly found in Nature, such as in the alkaloids' family. In our study, we propose a new method to synthesize the isoquinoline core using an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex strategy. Our mechanistic investigations have confirmed that our synthesis process operates through an EDA mechanism, which is not extensively discussed in the literature, particularly regarding its applications on alkynyl substrates. This EDA strategy has proven to be a simple and straightforward way to produce isoquinoline scaffolds and their derivatives without the need for metal catalysts.

Abstract
Larock indole synthesis is one of the most straightforward and efficient methods for the synthesis of indoles; however, there has been no asymmetric version yet for the construction of indole-based axially chiral N-arylindoles since its initial report in 1991. Herein we report the first example of an asymmetric Larock indole synthesis by employing a chiral sulfinamide phosphine (SadPhos) ligand (Ming-Phos) with palladium. It allows rapid construction of a wide range of axially chiral N-arylindole compounds in good yields up to 98:2 er. The application of this unique chiral scaffold as an organocatalyst is promising. Furthermore, a kinetic study has revealed that the alkyne migratory insertion is the rate-determining step, which has been proven by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Additionally, DFT studies also suggest that the N-C dihedral difference caused by the steric hindrance of the ligand contributes to enantioselectivity control.

Abstract
A regioselective visible-light-mediated denitrogenative alkene insertion of 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones was developed to access 3-substituted isoindolinones, an important structural motif present in many biologically active molecules and natural products. Notably, divergent reactivity was achieved by switching from reported nickel catalysis (where C3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones form) to photocatalysis, where photocatalytic denitrogenation and a subsequent nitrogen-mediated hydrogen atom shift lead to exclusive 3-substituted isoindolinone formation. The developed photocatalytic reaction is compatible with activated terminal alkenes and cyclic α,β-unsaturated esters and ketones, with wide functional group tolerance for N-substitution of the 1,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-ones. The utility of this procedure is highlighted by a gram-scale synthesis and postsynthetic amidation. To understand the origin of this unique product selectivity, experimental and computational mechanistic studies were performed.

Abstract
A (3+2) cycloaddition of heteroaromatic N-ylides with sulfenes, which are generated in situ from sulfonyl chlorides, has been developed. A variety of ylides were transformed into the corresponding sulfone-embedded N-fused heterocycles in high yields. Hexafluoroisopropyl mesylate was demonstrated to be a suitable reactant for quinolinium ylides. Furthermore, this cycloaddition could be performed with an ylide prepared by a Cu-catalyzed ylide transfer reaction in a one-pot manner, extending the substrate scope to an unisolable ylide.

En route to C-H amination, complexes with organic azides are critical precursors towards the reactive nitrene intermediate. Despite their relevance, α-N coordinated organoazide complexes are scarce in general, and elusive with iron, although iron complexes are by far the most active catalysts for C-H amination with organoazides. Herein, we report the synthesis of a stable iron α-N coordinated organoazide complex from [Fe(N(SiMe3 )2 )2 ] and AdN3 (Ad=1-adamantyl) and its crystallographic, IR, NMR and zero-field 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic characterization. These analyses revealed that the organoazide is in fast equilibrium between the free and coordinated state (Keq =62). Photo-crystallography experiments showed gradual dissociation of N2 , which imparted an Fe-N bond shortening and correspond to structural snapshots of the formation of an iron imido/nitrene complex. Reactivity of the organoazide complex in solution showed complete loss of N2 , and subsequent formation of a C-H aminated product via nitrene insertion into a C-H bond of the N(SiMe3 )2 ligand. Monitoring this reaction by 1 H NMR spectroscopy indicates the transient formation of the imido/nitrene intermediate, which was supported by Mössbauer spectroscopy in frozen solution.

Abstract
The oxidant-controlled divergent synthesis of C-2' formyl 2H-indazoles and indazoloindazolediones has been developed through Mn(I)- catalyzed ortho C-H functionalization of 2H-indazoles with para-formaldehyde to afford C-2' hydroxymethylated 2H-indazoles and subsequently oxidation with varying the amount of DDQ in one-pot. By employing selectfluor as the oxidant instead of DDQ, this reaction exclusively provided indazolebenzoxazine derivatives. This strategy delivered unsymmetrical indazoloindazoledione and indazolobenzoxazine with varied functional group tolerance in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Enantioselective radical N-heterobicyclization of N-allylsulfamoyl azides have been developed via metalloradical catalysis (MRC). The Co(II)-based catalytic system can homolytically activate the organic azides with varied electronic and steric properties for asymmetric radical N-heterobicyclization under mild conditions without the need of oxidants, allowing for stereoselective construction of chiral [3.1.0]-bicyclic sulfamoyl aziridines in excellent yields with high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. The key to achieving the enantioselective radical process relies on catalyst development through ligand design. We demonstrate that the use of new-generation D2-symmetric chiral bridged amidoporphyrin ligand HuPhyrin with judicious variation of the alkyl bridge length can dictate both reactivity and selectivity of Co(II)-based MRC. We present both experimental and computational studies that shed light on the working details of the unprecedented mode of asymmetric induction consisting of enantioface-selective radical addition and stereospecific radical substitution. We showcase the synthetic applications of the resulting enantioenriched bicyclic aziridines through a number of stereospecific transformations.

Abstract
The use of iron as a core metal in catalysis has become a research topic of interest over the last few decades. The reasons are clear. Iron is the most abundant transition metal on Earth's crust and it is widely distributed across the world. It has been extracted and processed since the dawn of civilization. All these features render iron a noncontaminant, biocompatible, nontoxic, and inexpensive metal and therefore it constitutes the perfect candidate to replace noble metals (rhodium, palladium, platinum, iridium, etc.). Moreover, direct C-H functionalization is one of the most efficient strategies by which to introduce new functional groups into small organic molecules. The majority of organic compounds contain C(sp3 )-H bonds. Given the enormous importance of organic molecules in so many aspects of existence, the utilization and bioactivity of C(sp3 )-H bonds are of the utmost importance. This review sheds light on the substrate scope, selectivity, benefits, and limitations of iron catalysts for direct C(sp3 )-H bond activations. An overview of the use of iron catalysis in C(sp3 )-H activation protocols is summarized herein up to 2022.

Abstract
A versatile one-pot strategy for the generation of compounds of synthetic interest has been presented, promoting the development of practical processes. First, the transannulation of N-sulfonyltriazoles through alkenes and rhodium catalysis was described, giving 2,3-dihydropyrroles in 13-76% yield. As contributions of the strategy, the evaluation of alkenes with different properties, and the use of only drops of solvent (0.40 M) was highlighted. In addition, we described a methodology for the modulation of the N-sulfonyltriazoles, to obtain selectively cyclopropyl tosylimines or 2,3-dihydropyrroles. For the latter products, neat conditions were also included. Finally, the potential of the methodology was demonstrated by the synthesis of six structurally different analogues starting from the same substrates and late-stage transformation of bioactive molecules. These compounds were generated in 38-63% yield, after two or more conversion steps carried out in the same reaction vessel.

Abstract
An eco-friendly approach for electrochemical radical cascade annulation of 1,2,3-benzotriazinones with alkynes is described. Under catalyst-free and external reductant-free electrolysis conditions, a range of isoquinolin-1(2H)-ones were obtained in moderate to good yields. Cyclic voltammetry and control studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway. Furthermore, this approach could be easily scaled up.

Abstract
A concept for intermolecular C-N cross-coupling amination has been discovered using tetrazoles and aromatic and aliphatic azides with boronic acids under iron-catalyzed conditions. The amination follows an unprecedented metalloradical activation mechanism that is different from traditional metal-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions. The scope of the reaction has been demonstrated by the employment of a large number of tetrazoles, azides, and boronic acids. Moreover, several late-stage aminations and a short synthesis of a drug candidate have been showcased for further synthetic utility. Collectively, this iron-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling should have wide applications in the context of medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
A catalytic system for intermolecular benzylic C(sp3)-H amination is developed utilizing 1,2,3,4-tetrazole as a nitrene precursor via iron catalysis. This method enables direct installation of 2-aminopyridine into the benzylic and heterobenzylic position. The method selectively aminates 2° benzylic C(sp3)-H bond over the 3° and 1° benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds. Experimental studies reveal that the C(sp3)-H amination undergoes via the formation of a benzylic radical intermediate. This study reports the discovery of new method for 2-pyridine substituted benzylamine synthesis using inexpensive, biocompatible base metal catalysis that should have wide application in the context of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
