Abstract
Efficient access to S-methyl dithiocarbamates was achieved with sulfonium or sulfoxonium iodide as a methylation reagent. This method is reliable for the synthesis of dithiocarbamates from primary or secondary amines, with sulfoxonium iodide demonstrating more robust methylation capability than sulfonium iodide. Moreover, it also enables facile access to S-trideuteromethyl dithiocarbamates via sulfoxonium metathesis between sulfoxonium iodide and DMSO-d6 with high yields.

Abstract
We present a novel and effective photocatalytic method for the methylation of β-diketones with controllable degrees of deuterium incorporation via development of new methyl sources. By utilizing a methylamine-water system as the methyl precursor and a cascade assembly strategy for deuteration degree control, we synthesized methylated compounds with varying degrees of deuterium incorporation, showcasing the versatility of this approach. We examined a range of β-diketone substrates and synthesized key intermediates for drug and bioactive compounds with varying degrees of deuterium incorporation, ranging from 0 to 3. We also investigated and discussed the postulated reaction pathway. This work demonstrates the utility of readily available reagents, methylamines and water, as a new methyl source, and provides a simple and efficient strategy for the synthesis of degree-controllable deuterium-labelled compounds.

Abstract
Simultaneous dearomatizing spirannulation of pyridinium salts is still in its infancy. Here, we present an organized skeletal remodeling of designed pyridinium salts by utilizing an interrupted Corey-Chaykovsky reaction to access unprecedented and structurally intriguing molecular architectures such as the vicinal bis-spirocyclic indanones and spirannulated benzocycloheptanones. This hybrid strategy rationally merges the nucleophilic features of sulfur ylides with the electrophilic pyridinium salts to achieve the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of new classes of cyclopropanoids. The plausible mechanistic pathways were derived from experimental results and control experiments.

Abstract
Deuterated organic molecules have immense value in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we present a synthetic strategy for direct trideuteromethylation of sulfenate ions derived in situ from β-sulfinyl esters in the presence of a base utilizing inexpensive and abundant CD3OTs as the electrophilic trideuteromethylating agent. This protocol provides straightforward access to an array of trideuteromethyl sulfoxides in yields of 75-92% with a high degree of deuteration. The ensuing trideuteromethyl sulfoxide can be readily modified into trideuteromethyl sulfone and sulfoximine.

Abstract
In this paper, a convenient synthesis of 2,5-diacylthiophenes and β-acyl allylic methylsulfones from aryl methyl ketones with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) through Selectfluor-promoted cascade cyclization and cross-coupling reactions by simple solvent modification is described. This method enables the formation of new C-C and C-S bonds via the selection of different solvent ratios, in which DMSO molecules as synthons can be selectively introduced into methyl ketones. The features of this transformation include readily available starting materials, excellent chemoselectivity, and good functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Direct formylation of feedstock indoles with newly developed, cost-effective deuterated glyoxylic acid as formylation agent under visible light and air (O2) as terminal oxidant has been developed. An isatin byproduct produced from the corresponding indole reactant serves as a facilitator for the formylation process. The simple, mild, metal- and oxidant-free protocol enables the synthesis of structurally diverse C1-deuterated 3-formylindoles with broad functional group tolerance and late-stage functionalization at a high level of D-incorporation (95-99%).

Abstract
A new type of organocatalyzed 1,3-thiosulfonylation has been developed to straightforwardly access highly functionalized vinyl sulfones, which features mild conditions, atom- and step-economy, practicability, conciseness, and environmental friendliness. Moreover, these valuable products can be transformed to vinyl sulfides via a base-promoted isomerization. The versatile route can efficiently and rapidly introduce SCD3 groups with excellent levels of deuterium content (>99% D) by utilizing our newly developed SCD3 reagents. Gram-scale operations and further transformations are smoothly carried out, providing promising applications for drug discovery.

We have established a practical and concise method for the straightforward access of a universal deuterated methylthiolating reagent through a one-pot gram-scale operation under mild conditions. This odourless electrophilic SCD3 reagent was widely applied to react with numerous representative nucleophiles and approached various valuable SCD3 analogues with excellent levels of deuterium content (>99% D). The divergent further transformations were smoothly carried out to obtain the significant derivatives with different oxidative states in high efficiency.

Abstract
Organic compounds labeled with hydrogen isotopes play a crucial role in numerous areas, from materials science to medicinal chemistry. Indeed, while the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium gives rise to improved absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties in drugs and enables the preparation of internal standards for analytical mass spectrometry, the use of tritium-labeled compounds is a key technique all along drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. For these reasons, the interest in new methodologies for the isotopic enrichment of organic molecules and the extent of their applications are equally rising. In this regard, this Review intends to comprehensively discuss the new developments in this area over the last years (2017-2021). Notably, besides the fundamental hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions and the use of isotopically labeled analogues of common organic reagents, a plethora of reductive and dehalogenative deuteration techniques and other transformations with isotope incorporation are emerging and are now part of the labeling toolkit.

Abstract
In the light of the recent potentials of deuterated molecules as pharmaceuticals or even in mechanistic understanding, efficient methods for their synthesis are continually desired. CD3-containing molecules are prominent amongst these motifs due to the parallel of the "magic methyl effect": introducing a methyl group into pharmaceuticals could positively affect biological activities. The trideuteromethyl group is bound to molecules either by C, N, O, or S atom. For a long time, the preparation methods of such labeled compounds were underestimated and involved multi-step syntheses. More recently, specific approaches dealing with the direct incorporation of the CD3 group have been developed. This Review gives an overview of the methods for the preparation of CD3-labeled molecules from conventional functional group interconversion techniques to catalytic approaches and include radical strategy. Detailed reaction mechanisms are also discussed.

Abstract
In the field of medicinal chemistry, the precise installation of a trideuteromethyl group is gaining ever-increasing attention. Site-selective incorporation of the deuterated "magic methyl" group can provide profound pharmacological benefits and can be considered an important tool for drug optimization and development. This review provides a structured overview, according to trideuteromethylation reagent, of currently established methods for site-selective trideuteromethylation of carbon atoms. In addition to CD3 , the selective introduction of CD2 H and CDH2 groups is also considered. For all methods, the corresponding mechanism and scope are discussed whenever reported. As such, this review can be a starting point for synthetic chemists to further advance trideuteromethylation methodologies. At the same time, this review aims to be a guide for medicinal chemists, offering them the available C-CD3 formation strategies for the preparation of new or modified drugs.

Abstract
Trialkylammonium (most notably N,N,N-trimethylanilinium) salts are known to display dual reactivity through both the aryl group and the N-methyl groups. These salts have thus been widely applied in cross-coupling, aryl etherification, fluorine radiolabelling, phase-transfer catalysis, supramolecular recognition, polymer design, and (more recently) methylation. However, their application as electrophilic methylating reagents remains somewhat underexplored, and an understanding of their arylation versus methylation reactivities is lacking. This study presents a mechanistic degradation analysis of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts and highlights the implications for synthetic applications of this important class of salts. Kinetic degradation studies, in both solid and solution phases, have delivered insights into the physical and chemical parameters affecting anilinium salt stability. 1H NMR kinetic analysis of salt degradation has evidenced thermal degradation to methyl iodide and the parent aniline, consistent with a closed-shell SN2-centred degradative pathway, and methyl iodide being the key reactive species in applied methylation procedures. Furthermore, the effect of halide and non-nucleophilic counterions on salt degradation has been investigated, along with deuterium isotope and solvent effects. New mechanistic insights have enabled the investigation of the use of trimethylanilinium salts in O-methylation and in improved cross-coupling strategies. Finally, detailed computational studies have helped highlight limitations in the current state-of-the-art of solvation modelling of reaction in which the bulk medium undergoes experimentally observable changes over the reaction timecourse. The dual reactivity of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts towards arylation and methylation is decoupled in this mechanistic investigation to enable more strategic application of these salts in either reaction class.![]()

Abstract
A novel visible-light-photocatalytic deuterated thiomethylation/methylselenation of aryldiazonium salts utilizing S/Se-methyl-d3 sulfonothioate has been developed. The mild conditions and the various functional groups provide a green protocol for the efficient and rapid introduction of the S-CD3 or Se-CD3 group with useful levels of deuterium content (>91% D). Trideuteromethyl sulfoxides have also been successfully chemoselectively observed by simple atmospheric changes under photocatalytic conditions.

Abstract
Precisely controlled deuterium labeling at specific sites of N-alkyl drugs is crucial in drug-development as over 50% of the top-selling drugs contain N-alkyl groups, in which it is very challenging to selectively replace protons with deuterium atoms. With the goal of achieving controllable isotope-labeling in N-alkylated amines, we herein rationally design photocatalytic water-splitting to furnish [H] or [D] and isotope alkanol-oxidation by photoexcited electron-hole pairs on a polymeric semiconductor. The controlled installation of N-CH3, -CDH2, -CD2H, -CD3, and -13CH3 groups into pharmaceutical amines thus has been demonstrated by tuning isotopic water and methanol. More than 50 examples with a wide range of functionalities are presented, demonstrating the universal applicability and mildness of this strategy. Gram-scale production has been realized, paving the way for the practical photosynthesis of pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
We report a one-step procedure to directly reduce unactivated aryl esters into their corresponding tolyl derivatives. This is achieved by an organosilane-mediated ester hydrosilylation reaction and subsequent Ni/NHC-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The resulting conditions provide a direct and efficient alternative to multi-step procedures for this transformation that often require the use of hazardous metal hydrides. Applications in the synthesis of -CD3-containing products, derivatization of bioactive molecules, and chemoselective reduction in the presence of other C-O bonds are demonstrated.

Abstract
Methods to incorporate deuterium atoms into organic molecules are valuable for the pharmaceutical industry. The introduction of deuterium atoms by a synthetic method enables the direct tracing of the drug molecule without substantially altering its structure or function. The methyl group is one of the most commonly occurring carbon fragments in biologically active molecules. Here, a biomimetic design reagent, 5-(methyl-d 3)-5H-dibenzo[b,d]thiophen-5-ium trifluoromethane sulfonate (DMTT), as an analog of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), has been developed for the selective d 3-methylation of complex molecules bearing several possible reactive sites with excellent selectivity and high-level deuterium incorporation. A series of d 3-methylated organic molecules and deuterated pharmaceuticals were synthesized under the mild system with excellent functional group compatibility.

Abstract
A mild, versatile organophotoredox protocol has been developed for the preparation of diverse, enantioenriched α-deuterated α-amino acids. Distinct from the well-established two-electron transformations, this radical-based strategy offers the unrivaled capacity of the convergent unification of readily accessible feedstock carboxylic acids and a chiral methyleneoxazolidinone fragment and the simultaneous highly diastereo-, chemo-, and regioselective incorporation of deuterium. Furthermore, the approach has addressed the long-standing challenge of the installation of sterically demanding side chains into α-amino acids.

Abstract
An efficient strategy for N/O-(deutero)alkylation of indoles and phenols with alkoxides/alcohols as the alkylation reagents is described. The consecutive detosylation/alkylation transformations feature mild reaction conditions, high ipso-selectivity, and good functional group tolerance (>50 examples). A one-pot selective N-alkylation of unprotected indoles with alcohols and TsCl is also realized. The application of this method is demonstrated by the introduction of isotope-labeled (CD3 and 13CH3) groups using the readily accessible labeled alcohols and the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.
