Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed multicomponent carbonylation is an efficient synthetic strategy to access multifunctional esters in high yields with broad functional group tolerance and good chemoselectivity. Considering the development of highly efficient synthetic methods for esters, it remains significant to grasp the mechanism of constructing multifunctional esters. Herein, density functional theoretical calculations were carried out to acquire mechanistic insight into the synthesis of β-perfluoroalkyl esters from a specific palladium-catalyzed perfluoroalkylative carbonylation of unactivated alkenes using carbon monoxide. A detailed mechanistic understanding of this reaction route includes (1) multistep radical reaction process, (2) C-C coupling and CO insertion, (3) ligand exchange, and (4) Pd-based intermediate oxidation and reductive elimination. The multistep radical process was fundamentally rationalized, including Rf· formation and radicals A and E from unactivated alkene and CO oxidation, respectively. The potential energy calculation indicated that the CO insertion into the perfluorinated alkyl radicals preceded Pd-catalyzed oxidation in the competitively multistep free radical reaction process. In addition, the I-/PhO- exchange step was predicted to be spontaneous to products. The IGMH analysis further attested to the reductive elimination process involved in the rate-determining step. Thus, a simple and valid density functional theory (DFT) approach was developed to reveal the multistep radical mechanism for the Pd-catalyzed perfluoroalkylative carbonylation of unactivated alkenes to access functional β-perfluoroalkyl esters.

Abstract
AbstractA series of acyl fluorides was synthesized at 100 mmol scale using phase-transfer-catalyzed halogen exchange between acyl chlorides and aqueous bifluoride solution. The convenient procedure consists of vigorous stirring of the biphasic mixture at room temperature, followed by extraction and distillation. Isolated acyl fluorides (usually 7–20 g) display excellent purity and can be transformed into sterically hindered amides and esters when treated with lithium amide bases and alkoxides under mild conditions.

Abstract
Adamantane derivatives have diverse applications in the fields of medicinal chemistry, catalyst development and nanomaterials, owing to their unique structural, biological and stimulus-responsive properties, among others. The synthesis of substituted adamantanes and substituted higher diamondoids is frequently achieved via carbocation or radical intermediates that have unique stability and reactivity when compared to simple hydrocarbon derivatives. In this review, we discuss the wide range of radical-based functionalization reactions that directly convert diamondoid C-H bonds to C-C bonds, providing a variety of products incorporating diverse functional groups (alkenes, alkynes, arenes, carbonyl groups, etc.). Recent advances in the area of selective C-H functionalization are highlighted with an emphasis on the H-atom abstracting species and their ability to activate the particularly strong C-H bonds that are characteristic of these caged hydrocarbons, providing insights that can be applied to the C-H functionalization of other substrate classes.

Abstract
The conversion of vast low-value saturated hydrocarbons into valuable chemicals is of great interest.
The conversion of vast low-value saturated hydrocarbons into valuable chemicals is of great interest. Thanks to the progression of organometallic and coordination chemistry, transition metal catalysed C sp3–H bond functionalisation has now become a powerful tool for alkane transformations. Specifically, methods for alkane functionalisation include radical initiated C–H functionalisation, carbene/nitrene insertion, and transition metal catalysed C–H bond activation. This perspective provides a systematic and concise overview of each protocol, highlighting the factors that govern regioselectivity in these reactions. The challenges of the existing catalytic tactics and future directions for catalyst development in this field will be presented.

Abstract
Esters are important chemicals widely used in various areas, and alkoxycarbonylation represents one of the most powerful tools for their synthesis. In this communication, a new copper-catalyzed carbonylative procedure for the synthesis of aliphatic esters from cycloalkanes and alcohols was developed. Through direct activation of the Csp3 -H bond of alkanes and with alcohols as the nucleophiles, the desired esters were prepared in moderate-to-good yields. Paraformaldehyde could also be applied for in situ alcohol generation by radical trapping, and moderate yields of the corresponding esters could be produced. Notably, this is the first report on copper-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkanes.
