Abstract
Mechanisms for the Csp-H silylation between prop-2-yn-1-ylcyclohexane and triethylsilane, catalyzed by MOH/MH (M = Na or K), were investigated at the M06-L-D3/ma-def2-TZVP level. The SMD model was applied to simulate the solvent effect of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). Computational results suggested that the Csp-H activation of prop-2-yn-1-ylcyclohexane could be achieved by MOH to generate R-CC-M compounds, which continued to react with triethylsilane to yield the final product: (3-cyclohexylprop-1-yn-1-yl) triethylsilane. Moreover, analysis of the Gibbs free energy surface of the three reactions suggested that a path with the participation of LiOH had the highest energy barrier, which was consistent with experimental results showing that only a small amount of product had been formed. The obtained KH could interact readily with the H2O molecule with a much lower energy barrier (0.6 kcal mol-1) than that using the path with prop-2-yn-1-ylcyclohexane. Furthermore, compared to MOH, MH could catalyze the reaction with lower energy barriers, and the reactions became exothermic, thereby benefiting the reaction. Finally, the mechanism for obtaining the byproduct (prop-1-yn-1-ylcyclohexane) was posited: it had a higher energy barrier than the path to yield the main product. Frontier orbital, noncovalent interactions (NCI), Fukui function and dual descriptor analyses could be used to analyze the structure and reveal the reaction substances.

Abstract
Hydroxylated (hetero)arenes are valued in many industries as both key constituents of end products and diversifiable synthetic building blocks. Accordingly, the development of reactions that complement and address the limitations of existing methods for the introduction of aromatic hydroxyl groups is an important goal. To this end, we apply base-catalyzed halogen transfer (X-transfer) to enable the direct C-H hydroxylation of mildly acidic N-heteroarenes and benzenes. This protocol employs an alkoxide base to catalyze X-transfer from sacrificial 2-halothiophene oxidants to aryl substrates, forming SNAr-active intermediates that undergo nucleophilic hydroxylation. Key to this process is the use of 2-phenylethanol as an inexpensive hydroxide surrogate that, after aromatic substitution and rapid elimination, provides the hydroxylated arene and styrene byproduct. Use of simple 2-halothiophenes allows for C-H hydroxylation of 6-membered N-heteroarenes and 1,3-azole derivatives, while a rationally designed 2-halobenzothiophene oxidant extends the scope to electron-deficient benzene substrates. Mechanistic studies indicate that aromatic X-transfer is reversible, suggesting that the deprotonation, halogenation, and substitution steps operate in synergy, manifesting in unique selectivity trends that are not necessarily dependent on the most acidic aryl position. The utility of this method is further demonstrated through streamlined target molecule syntheses, examples of regioselectivity that contrast alternative C-H hydroxylation methods, and the scalable recycling of the thiophene oxidants.

Abstract
The catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenation (ADH) of saturated N-heterocycles has recently gained considerable attention as a promising strategy for hydrogen release from liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). Recently, a simple tBuOK base-promoted ADH of N-heterocycles was developed by Yu et al. (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2019, 361, 3958). However, it is still open as to how the tBuOK plays a catalytic role in the ADH process. Herein, our density functional study reveals that the tBuOK catalyzes the ADH of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) through a quasi-metal-ligand bifunctional catalytic channel or a base-catalyzed pathway with close energy barriers. The hydride transfer in the first dehydrogenation process is determined to be the rate determining step, and the second dehydrogenation can proceed directly from 34DHQ regulated by the tBuOK. In addition, the computational results show that the cooperation of a suitable alkali metal ion with the tBuO- group is so critical that the tBuOLi and the isolated tBuO- are both inferior to tBuOK as a dehydrogenation catalyst.

Abstract
A simple, mild, catalyst-free, and efficacious KOtBu-mediated reductive cyanation reaction of tertiary amides under hydrosilylation conditions has been described. A series of α-aminonitriles is obtained in moderate to high yield with good functional group tolerance. The reaction works well with a readily available amide substrate, a cheap and versatile base KOtBu, and a commercially available hydrosilane (EtO)3SiH and is convenient for workup and purification.

Abstract
AbstractWe present a base-mediated hydroamination protocol, using substoichiometric amounts of a hydrosilane and potassium tert-butoxide, that operates under mild conditions at 30 °C. Many aryl- and heteroatom-substituted olefins as well as arylamines are tolerated, affording the desired products with complete regioselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal a non-radical pathway for hydroamination. A sequential remote hydroamination strategy involving an initial Fe-catalysed olefin isomerisation followed by our base-mediated hydroamination was also developed to directly access β-arylamines from terminal aliphatic alkenes.

Abstract
This review examines some of the notable advances and trends that have shaped the field of computational elucidation of organic reaction mechanisms over the last 10-15 years. It highlights the types of mechanistic problems that have recently become possible to study and summarizes the methodological developments that have permitted these new advances. Case studies are taken from three representative areas of organic chemistry-asymmetric catalysis, glycosylation reactions, and single electron transfer reactions-which illustrate themes common to the broader field. These include the trend towards modelling systems that are increasingly complex (both structurally and mechanistically), the growing appreciation of the mechanistic roles of non-covalent interactions, and the increasing ability to explore dynamical features of reaction mechanisms. Some interesting new challenges that have emerged in the field are identified.

Abstract
This report describes an efficient transition-metal-free process toward the transfer hydrogenative cascade reaction between nitroarenes and amines or alcohols. The developed redox-economical approach was realized using a combination of KOtBu and Et3SiH as reagents, which allows the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives via σ-bond metathesis. The reaction conditions hold well over a wide range of substrates embedded with diverse functional groups to deliver the desired products in good to excellent yields. The mechanistic proposal has been depicted on the basis of a series of control experiments, mass spectroscopic evidence which is well supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with a feasible energy profile.

Abstract
Fe, Co, and Mn hydride-initiated radical olefin additions have enjoyed great success in modern synthesis, yet the extension of other hydrogen radicalophiles instead of olefins remains largely elusive. Herein, we report an efficient Fe-catalyzed intramolecular isonitrile-olefin coupling reaction delivering 3-substituted indoles, in which isonitrile was firstly applied as the hydrogen atom acceptor in the radical generation step by MHAT. The protocol features low catalyst loading, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance.

Abstract
The mechanism of ketones homogeneous hydrogenation with t-BuOK in tert-butanol is currently portrayed as the one proceeding via a six-membered [2 + 2 + 2] cyclic transition state involving the H2 molecule, the base, and a ketone. However, the concerted nature of the reaction is inconsistent with a number of experimental observations. Here we reanalyze available experimental data and revise the mechanism of this paradigmatic reaction based on the static and dynamic density functional theory (DFT) calculations in solution phase. In contrast to the gas-phase profile where the overall reaction occurs in two elementary steps, there are three consecutive steps in solution: cleavage of the H-H bond in basic tert-butanol to afford potassium hydride, addition of potassium hydride across the C═O bond of a ketone through the rate-determining transition state, and rapid product formation through K/H exchange. Potassium hydride is therefore an important intermediate of the catalytic process. The free energy profile for the prophetic ester homogeneous hydrogenation with t-BuOK in tert-butanol is also computed herein. The reaction seems to be kinetically possible, but slightly harsher conditions need to be applied, consistent with rate-determining nature of the potassium hydride addition.

Abstract
A regioselective carbosilylation of alkenes has emerged as a powerful strategy to access molecules with functionalized silylated alkanes, by incorporating silyl and carbon groups across an alkene double bond. However, to the best of our knowledge, organic fluorides have never been used in this protocol. Here we disclose the catalyst-free carbosilylation of alkenes using silyl boronates and organic fluorides mediated by tBuOK. The main feature of this transformation is the selective activation of the C-F bond of an organic fluoride by the silyl boronate without undergoing potential side-reactions involving C-O, C-Cl, heteroaryl-CH, and even CF3 groups. Various silylated alkanes with tertiary or quaternary carbon centers that have aromatic, hetero-aromatic, and/or aliphatic groups at the β-position are synthesized in a single step from substituted or non-substituted aryl alkenes. An intramolecular variant of this carbosilylation is also achieved via the reaction of a fluoroarene with a ω-alkenyl side chain and a silyl boronate.

Abstract
The combination of potassium tert-butoxide and triethylsilane is unusual because it generates multiple different types of reactive intermediates simultaneously that provide access to (i) silyl radical reactions, (ii) hydrogen atom transfer reactions to closed shell molecules and to radicals, (iii) electron transfer reductions and (iv) hydride ion chemistry, giving scope for unprecedented outcomes. Until now, reactions with this reagent pair have generally been explained by reference to one of the intermediates, but we now highlight the interplay and competition between them.
