Abstract
MMV's Malaria Box compound MMV030666 shows multi-stage activity against various strains of Plasmodium falciparum and lacks resistance development. To evaluate the importance of its diarylether partial structure, diarylthioethers and diphenylamines with varying substitution patterns were prepared. A number of evident structure-activity relationships were revealed. Physicochemical and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined experimentally (passive permeability) or calculated. Compared to the lead compound a diarylthioether was more active and less cytotoxic resulting in an excellent selectivity index of 850. In addition, pharmacokinetic and physicochemical parameters were improved.

Abstract
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic species, transfer protons, and engage in a range of other intermolecular interactions. The use of this solvent has exponentially increased in the past decade and has become a solvent of choice in some areas, such as C-H functionalization chemistry. In this review, following a brief history of HFIP in organic synthesis and an overview of its physical properties, literature examples of organic reactions using HFIP as a solvent or an additive are presented, emphasizing the effect of solvent of each reaction.

Abstract
C-H functionalization via functional group metathesis is extremely rare. A protocol of remote site-selective C-H iodination of 2-aryl benzoic acid derivatives via formal C(sp2)-H/C(sp2)-I metathesis using readily available 1-iodo-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene as the mild iodinating reagent was reported herein. A range of 2-aryl benzoic acid derivatives including 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)benzoic acids and [1,1'-binaphthalene]-2-carboxylic acids were iodinated under mild conditions to give valuable iodinated products in a site- and chemo-selective fashion.

Abstract
Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed directed C-H amination methodology developed using a high-throughput experimentation (HTE)-based strategy, applicable for the needs of automated modern drug discovery. The informer library approach for investigating the accessible directing group chemical space, in combination with functional group tolerance screening and substrate scope investigations, allowed for the generation of reaction application guidelines to aid future users. Applicability to late-stage functionalization of complex drugs and natural products, in combination with multiple deprotection protocols leading to the desirable aniline matched pairs, serve to demonstrate the utility of the method for drug discovery. Finally, reaction miniaturization to a nanomolar range highlights the opportunities for more sustainable screening with decreased material consumption.

Abstract
The first palladium-catalyzed direct o-C-H iodination of benzaldehydes was successfully developed with the assistance of commercially available 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)aniline as the optimal monodentate transient directing group (MonoTDG). Moderate to excellent yields and good selectivity were achieved for a broad substrate scope under mild conditions. More importantly, the synthetic application was demonstrated by a concise two-step total synthesis of the natural product hernandial, which was accomplished by merging this new MonoTDG-assisted C-H iodination and subsequent copper-catalyzed cross-coupling.

Abstract
The transition-metal-catalyzed decarboxylation of aryl carboxylic acids has drawn significant attention as an efficient and practical tool for the synthesis of substituted arenes. However, the decarboxylative construction of polysubstituted arenes with different contiguous substituents has not been widely reported. Herein, we describe a novel decarbonylative Catellani reaction via palladium-catalyzed, norbornene (NBE)-mediated polyfunctionalization of aromatic thioesters, which serve as readily available carboxylic acid derivatives. A variety of alkenyl, alkyl, aryl, and sulfur moieties could be conveniently introduced into the ipso-positions of the aromatic thioesters. By combining carboxyl-directed C-H functionalization and the classical Catellani reaction, our protocol allows for the construction of 1,2,3-trisubstituted and 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted arenes from simple aromatic acids. Furthermore, the late-stage functionalization of a series of drug molecules highlights the potential utility of the reaction.

Abstract
The functionalization of C−H bonds, ubiquitous in drugs and drug‐like molecules, represents an important synthetic strategy with the potential to streamline the drug‐discovery process. Late‐stage aromatic C−N bond–forming reactions are highly desirable, but despite their significance, accessing aminated analogues through direct and selective amination of C−H bonds remains a challenging goal. The method presented herein enables the amination of a wide array of benzoic acids with high selectivity. The robustness of the system is manifested by the large number of functional groups tolerated, which allowed the amination of a diverse array of marketed drugs and drug‐like molecules. Furthermore, the introduction of a synthetic handle enabled expeditious access to targeted drug‐delivery conjugates, PROTACs, and probes for chemical biology. This rapid access to valuable analogues, combined with operational simplicity and applicability to high‐throughput experimentation has the potential to aid and considerably accelerate drug discovery.

Abstract
Late-stage functionalization (LSF) has over the past years emerged as a powerful approach in the drug discovery process. At its best, it allows for rapid access to new analogues from a single drug-like molecule, bypassing the need for de novo synthesis. To be successful, methods able to tolerate the diverse functional groups present in drug-like molecules that perform under mild conditions are required. C-H methylation is of particular interest due to the magic methyl effect in medicinal chemistry. Herein we report an iridium-catalyzed carboxylate-directed ortho C-H methylation and d 3-methylation of benzoic acids. The method uses commercially available reagents and precatalyst and requires no inert atmosphere or exclusion of moisture. Substrates bearing electron-rich and electron-poor groups were successfully methylated, including compounds with competing directing/coordinating groups. The method was also applied to the LSF of several marketed drugs, forming analogues with increased metabolic stability compared with the parent drug.

Abstract
Among numerous solvents available for chemical transformations, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (popularly known as HFIP) has attracted enough attention of the scientific community in recent years. Several unique features of HFIP compared to its non-fluoro analogue isopropanol have helped this solvent to make a difference in various subdomains of organic chemistry. One such area is transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions. While, on one side, HFIP is emerging as a green and sustainable deep eutectic solvent (DES), on the other side, a major proportion of Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization is heavily relying on this solvent. In particular, for distal aromatic C-H functionalizations, the exceptional impact of HFIP to elevate the yield and selectivity has made this solvent irreplaceable. Recent research studies have also highlighted the H-bond-donating ability of HFIP to enhance the chiral induction in Pd-catalyzed atroposelective C-H activation. This perspective aims to portray different shades of HFIP as a magical solvent in Pd-catalyzed C-H functionalization reactions.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed selective ortho-monoiodination of benzoic acids with two equivalent C-H bonds is presented. A wide range of electron-rich and electron-poor substrates undergo the reaction under mild conditions, with >20:1 mono/di selectivity. Importantly, the C-H iodination occurs selectively ortho to the carboxylic acid moiety in substrates bearing competing coordinating directing groups. The reaction is performed at room temperature and no inert atmosphere or exclusion of moisture is required. Mechanistic investigations revealed a substrate-dependent reversible C-H activation/protodemetalation step, a substrate-dependent turnover-limiting step, and the crucial role of the AgI additive in the deactivation of the iodination product towards further reaction.
