Abstract
The mechanism of the Ni-Al bimetallic-catalyzed C-H cyclization to construct tricyclic imidazoles is investigated using density functional theory calculations. The calculation result shows that the reaction mechanism involves sequential steps of substrate coordination, ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT), and C-C reductive elimination to produce the final product tricyclic imidazole. The LLHT step is calculated to be the rate-determining step. The oxidative addition of the benzimidazole C-H bond to the Ni center and the insertion of the alkene into the Ni-H bond occur concertedly in the LLHT step. The effects of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and AlMe3 on the reactivity and regioselectivity were also analyzed. These calculation results shed light on some ambiguous suggestions from experiments.

Abstract
The ortho-selective benzylic C(sp3)-H alkenylation of 2-methyl tertiary anilines with internal alkynes has been achieved for the first time by using a half-sandwich scandium catalyst. This protocol provides a straightforward route for the synthesis of a new family of 2-allylaniline derivatives, featuring broad substrate scope, 100% atom-efficiency, high yields, and high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
This work describes the chemo- and stereoselective benzylic C(sp3)-H alkenylation of tertiary ortho-methyl anilines with internal alkynes using a simple β-diketiminato scandium catalyst. This protocol offers an efficient method for the synthesis of a new family of tertiary ortho-allylanilines in high yields. The resultant alkenylation products facilely underwent further chemical transformation to other valuable anilines. A cationic scandium benzyl species was isolated from a stoichiometric reaction and confirmed to be the catalytic intermediate.

Abstract
Metal catalyzed C-H functionalization offers a versatile platform for methodology development and a wide variety of reactions now exist for the chemo- and site-selective functionalization of organic molecules. Cyclopentadienyl-metal (CpM) complexes of transition metals and their correlative analogues have found widespread application in this area, and herein we highlight several key applications of commonly used transition-metal Cp-type catalysts. In addition, an understanding of transition metal Cp-type catalyst synthesis is important, particularly where modifications to the catalyst structure are required for different applications, and a summary of this aspect is given.
