Abstract
Although considerable progress has been achieved in C-H functionalization by cationic rare-earth alkyl complexes, the potential facilitating roles of heteroatom-containing substrates during the catalytic cycle remain highly underestimated. Herein, theoretical studies on the model reaction of C(sp2)-H addition of pyridines to allenes by scandium catalyst were carefully carried out to reveal the detailed mechanism. A coordinating pyridine substrate as a ligand can effectively stabilize some key structures. An obvious facilitating role delivered by the coordinating pyridine was found for allene insertion, while the pyridine-free mechanism prefers to occur for C(sp2)-H activation processes. Importantly, the elusive role of heteroatom-containing substrates was systematically revealed for the C-H activation event by designing a metal/ligand combination of catalysts and substrates. We found that the pyridyl C(sp2)-H activation would be switched to the pyridine-coordinated mechanism in the cases of the designed Y and La catalysts. To date, this is the first time to realize the potential substrate-facilitating role in cationic rare-earth-catalyzed C-H activation processes. Moreover, theoretical predictions show that similar switchable mechanisms also work for other types of C-H bonds and other heteroatom-involved substrates by fine-adjusting the steric surroundings of catalysts. The two C-H activation mechanisms are mainly the result of the delicate balance between electronic and steric factors. In general, the catalytic system with less steric hindrance prefers to undergo the substrate-coordinated mechanism. In contrast, the substrate-free mechanism is favorable due to steric repulsion. These results are helpful for us to better understand the variant mechanisms in rare-earth-catalyzed C-H functionalization at the atomistic level and may help guide the rational design of new catalytic reactions. In addition, the origins of the regio- and stereoselectivity were discussed through geometric parameters and distortion/interaction analysis.

Abstract
This work reports a site-selective C-H borylation of pyridines at the ortho-position with pinacolborane enabled by an yttrocene catalyst. The reaction provides a new family of 2-pyridyl boronates with a broad substrate scope and high atom efficiency. The resultant boronates were able to undergo a variety of transformations, e.g., oxidation, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Chan-Lam amination and etherification. Catalytic intermediates, including ortho-C-H metalated and borylated complexes, were isolated from stoichiometric experiments and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
The catalytic C–H alkylation with alkenes is of much interest and importance, as it offers a 100% atom efficient route for C–C bond construction. In the past decade, great progress in rare-earth catalysed C–H alkylation of various heteroatom-containing substrates with alkenes has been made. However, whether or how a heteroatom-containing substrate would influence the coordination or insertion of an alkene at the catalyst metal center remained elusive. In this work, the mechanism of Sc-catalysed C–H alkylation of sulfides with alkenes and dienes has been carefully examined by DFT calculations, which revealed that the alkene insertion could proceed via a sulfide-facilitated mechanism. It has been found that a similar mechanism may also work for the C–H alkylation of other heteroatom-containing substrates such as pyridine and anisole. Moreover, the substrate-facilitated alkene insertion mechanism and a substrate-free one could be switched by fine-tuning the sterics of catalysts and substrates. This work provides new insights into the role of heteroatom-containing substrates in alkene-insertion-involved reactions, and may help guide designing new catalysis systems. The alkene insertion via the heteroatom-containing substrate facilitated mechanism were computationally revealed in rare-earth-catalyzed C–H alkylation of sulfides and other heteroatom-containing substrates such as pyridines and anisoles.![]()

Abstract
The synthesis of multisubstituted 1-aminoindanes through catalyst-controlled diastereodivergent [3 + 2] annulation of aromatic imines with alkenes is of great interest and importance. An understanding of the exact reaction mechanism, especially for the origin of diastereoselectivity, is an essential aspect for further development of such reactions. In this study, density functional theory calculations have been carried out on the rare-earth-catalyzed diastereodivergent [3 + 2] annulation of benzaldimine with styrene. The results show that the reaction mainly involves generation of active species, olefin insertion, cyclization, and protonation steps. The noncovalent interactions, such as C-H···π and metal···π interactions, play an important role in stabilizing the key transition state or intermediate. Both steric and electronic factors account for the diastereoselectivity. The preferred cis-diastereoselectivity could be ascribed to more efficient orbital interaction, while the crowded space will induce the formation of a C-H···π interaction between the NtBu group and benzene ring in a trans-diastereoselectivity manner, thus stabilizing the trans-selective transition state. Therefore, the stereospecific product could be obtained by fine-tuning the ligand/metal combination of the catalysts.
