Abstract
Regioselective arene C-H bond alkylation is a powerful tool in synthetic chemistry, yet subject to many challenges. Herein, we report the meta-C-H bond alkylation of aromatics bearing N-directing groups using (hetero)aromatic epoxides as alkylating agents. This method results in complete regioselectivity on both the arene as well as the epoxide coupling partners, cleaving exclusively the benzylic C-O bond. Oxetanes, which are normally unreactive, also participate as alkylating reagents under the reaction conditions. Our mechanistic studies reveal an unexpected reversible epoxide ring opening process undergoing catalyst-controlled regioselection, as key for the observed high regioselectivities.

Abstract
The Rh-catalyzed ortho-C(sp2 )-H functionalization of 8-aminoquinoline-derived benzamides with aliphatic acyl fluorides generated in situ from the corresponding acids has been developed. This reaction initiated with 8-aminoquinoline-directed ortho-C(sp2 )-H acylation, which was accompanied by subsequent intramolecular nucleophilic acyl substitution of amide group to produce alkylidene phthalides This approach exhibits high stereo-selectivity for Z-isomer products, and tolerates a variety of functional groups as well as aliphatic carboxylic acids with diverse structural scaffolds.

Abstract
The merger of strain-release of 1,2-oxazetidines with carboxylic acid directed C-H activation in catalytic synthesis of isoindolinones is reported for the first time. This reaction opens a new and sustainable avenue to prepare a range of structurally diverse isoindolinone skeletons from readily available benzoic acids. The success of late-stage functionalization of some bioactive acids, and concise synthesis of biologically important skeletons demonstrated its great synthetic potential in drug discovery. Mechanistic studies indicated a plausible C-H activation/β-carbon elimination/intramolecular cyclization cascade pathway.

Abstract
A nickel-catalyzed C-H coupling of 8-aminoquinoline-derived benzamides with aryl- and alkyl-substituted aziridines has been disclosed. The current strategy provides direct access to benzolactams by the C-H alkylation-intramolecular amidation cascade event with the concomitant removal of the aminoquinoline auxiliary. The regioselectivity of ring opening of aziridines can be controlled by the substituents. The reaction with chiral aziridines proceeds with inversion of configuration, thus suggesting an SN2-type nucleophilic ring-opening pathway.

Abstract
This study focuses on the synthesis of 1,7- and 3,4-indole-fused lactones via a simple and efficient reaction sequence. The functionalization of these "oxazepino-indole" and "oxepino-indole" tricycles is carried out by palladium catalysed CC coupling, nucleophilic substitution or 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The evaluation of their activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis shows that the "oxazepino-indole" structure is a new inhibitor of M. tuberculosis growth in vitro.

Abstract
Strain relief of oxetanes offers a plethora of opportunities for the synthesis of chiral alcohols and ethers. In this context, enantioselective desymmetrization has been identified as a powerful tool to construct molecular complexity and this has led to the development of elegant strategies on the basis of transition metal, Lewis acid, and Brønsted acid catalysis. This review highlights recent examples that harness the inherent reactivity of prochiral oxetanes and offers an outlook on the immense possibilities for synthetic application.

Abstract
The use of directing groups allows high levels of selectivity to be achieved in transition metal-catalyzed transformations. Efficient removal of these auxiliaries after successful functionalization, however, can be very challenging. This review provides a critical overview of strategies used for removal of Daugulis' 8-aminoquinoline (2005-2020), one of the most widely used N,N-bidentate directing groups. The limitations of these strategies are discussed and alternative approaches are suggested for challenging substrates. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive end-users' guide for chemists in academia and industry who want to harness the synthetic power of directing groups-and be able to remove them from their final products.

Abstract
An unprecedented ruthenium catalysed [4+4] annulation of readily available benzoic acids and alkynes is reported for the first time. The carboxylate group acts as both a directing group and an internal nucleophilic reagent to facilitate a C(sp2)-H vinylation/annulation cascade. This reaction avoids the classically oxidative [4+2] annulation, allowing the efficient synthesis of a wide array of eight-membered lactones under oxidant-free conditions. Moreover, this catalytic system can be successfully extended to [4+3] and [4+5] annulations for the assembly of seven- and nine-membered lactones.
