Abstract
A new method for the synthesis of terminal olefins was developed through the reaction of the Corey-Chaykovsky reagent (dimethyl-sulfonium methylide) with readily available esters. After the domino process of nucleophilic addition, elimination and rearrangement in one pot, the terminal olefins were synthesized in high yields (up to 84%) under mild conditions. The synthetic method was well tolerated by many functional groups and a new route for the synthesis of various terminal olefin derivatives is provided. In the end, a possible reaction mechanism is proposed, which is supported by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds are ubiquitous but are among the least reactive bonds in organic chemistry. Recently, catalytic approaches to activate C-C bonds by transition metals have demonstrated the synthetic potential of directly reorganizing the skeleton of small molecules. However, these approaches are usually restricted to strained molecules or rely on directing groups, limiting their broader impact. We report a detailed mechanistic study of a rare example of catalytic C-C bond cleavage of unstrained alcohols that enables reversible ketone transfer hydroarylation under Rh-catalysis. Combined insight from kinetic analysis, in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) monitoring, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supports a symmetric catalytic cycle, including a key reversible β-carbon elimination event. In addition, we provide evidence regarding the turnover-limiting step, the catalyst resting state, and the role of the sterically encumbered NHC ligand. The study further led to an improved catalytic system with the discovery of two air-stable precatalysts that showed higher activity for the transformation in comparison to the original conditions.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) can deliver rapid and accurate reaction barrier predictions for use in rational reactivity design. However, model training requires large data sets of typically thousands or tens of thousands of barriers that are very expensive to obtain computationally or experimentally. Furthermore, bespoke data sets are required for each region of interest in reaction space as models typically struggle to generalize. We have therefore reformulated the ML barrier prediction problem toward a much more data-efficient process: finding a reaction from a prespecified set with a desired target value. Our reformulation enables the rapid selection of reactions with purpose-specific activation barriers, for example, in the design of reactivity and selectivity in synthesis, catalyst design, toxicology, and covalent drug discovery, requiring just tens of accurately measured barriers. Importantly, our reformulation does not require generalization beyond the domain of the data set at hand, and we show excellent results for the highly toxicologically and synthetically relevant data sets of aza-Michael addition and transition-metal-catalyzed dihydrogen activation, typically requiring less than 20 accurately measured density functional theory (DFT) barriers. Even for incomplete data sets of E2 and SN2 reactions, with high numbers of missing barriers (74% and 56% respectively), our chosen ML search method still requires significantly fewer data points than the hundreds or thousands needed for more conventional uses of ML to predict activation barriers. Finally, we include a case study in which we use our process to guide the optimization of the dihydrogen activation catalyst. Our approach was able to identify a reaction within 1 kcal mol-1 of the target barrier by only having to run 12 DFT reaction barrier calculations, which illustrates the usage and real-world applicability of this reformulation for systems of high synthetic importance.

Abstract
Herein, a method for the isomerization of ketones in a manner akin to the chain-walking reaction of alkenes is described. Widely available and inexpensive pyrrolidine and elemental sulfur are deployed as catalysts to achieve this reversible transformation. Key to the utility of this approach was the elucidation of a stereochemical model to determine the thermodynamically favored product of the reaction and the kinetic selectivity observed. With the distinct selectivity profile of our ketone chain-walking process, the isomerization of various steroids was demonstrated to rapidly access novel steroids with "unnatural" oxidation patterns.

Abstract
In contrast to stable and natural abundant carbon-12, the synthesis of organic molecules with carbon (radio)isotopes must be conceived and optimized in order to navigate through the hurdles of radiochemical requirements, such as high costs of the starting materials, harsh conditions and radioactive waste generation. In addition, it must initiate from the small cohort of available C-labeled building blocks. For long time, multi-step approaches have represented the sole available patterns. On the other side, the development of chemical reactions based on the reversible cleavage of C-C bonds might offer new opportunities and reshape retrosynthetic analysis in radiosynthesis. This review aims to provide a short survey on the recently emerged carbon isotope exchange technologies that provide effective opportunity for late-stage labeling. At present, such strategies have relied on the use of primary and easily accessible radiolabeled C1-building blocks, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and cyanides, while the activation principles have been based on thermal, photocatalytic, metal-catalyzed and biocatalytic processes.

Abstract
The implementation of HCN-free transfer hydrocyanation reactions on laboratory scales has recently been achieved by using HCN donor reagents under nickel- and Lewis acid co-catalysis. More recently, malononitrile-based HCN donor reagents were shown to undergo the C(sp3)-CN bond activation by the nickel catalyst in the absence of Lewis acids. However, there is a lack of detailed mechanistic understanding of the challenging C(sp3)-CN bond cleavage step. In this work, in-depth kinetic and computational studies using alkynes as substrates were used to elucidate the overall reaction mechanism of this transfer hydrocyanation, with a particular focus on the activation of the C(sp3)-CN bond to generate the active H-Ni-CN transfer hydrocyanation catalyst. Comparisons of experimentally and computationally derived 13C kinetic isotope effect data support a direct oxidative addition mechanism of the nickel catalyst into the C(sp3)-CN bond facilitated by the coordination of the second nitrile group to the nickel catalyst.

Abstract
Precisely controlling the product selectivity from the complex reaction is always an attractive topic in the catalysis field. In this paper, the Ru/strong base junction formed by the redox strategy was demonstrated as an efficient catalyst to switch the selectivity in aerobic oxidation of benzylamines. The zirconia-supported ruthenium (Ru-ZrO2) catalyst could catalyze benzylamine oxidation coupling to imines; however, the potassium oxide strong base modified zirconia-supported ruthenium (Ru-K-ZrO2) catalyst could catalyze benzylamine oxidation dehydrogenation to nitriles. Insight into the mechanism showed that the base modified catalyst had excellent dehydrogenation ability which was assisted by the C-H bond activation and changed the reaction pathway. The strong base modified strategy may provide a new approach for controlling the performance of heterogeneous catalysts and product selectivity.

Abstract
![]()
HF
transfer reactions between organic substrates are potentially
useful transformations. Such reactions require the development of
catalytic systems that can promote both defluorination and fluorination
steps in a single reaction sequence. Herein, we report a catalytic
protocol in which an equivalent of HF is generated from a perfluoroarene
| nucleophile pair and transferred directly to an alkyne. The reaction
is catalyzed by [Au(IPr)NiPr2] (IPr = N,N′-1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene).
HF transfer generates two useful products in the form of functionalized
fluoroarenes and fluoroalkenes. Mechanistic studies (rate laws, KIEs,
density functional theory (DFT) calculations, competition experiments)
are consistent with the Au(I) catalyst facilitating a catalytic network
involving both concerted SNAr and hydrofluorination steps.
The nature of the nucleophile impacts the turnover-limiting step.
The cSNAr step is turnover-limiting for phenol-based nucleophiles,
while protodeuaration likely
becomes turnover-limiting for aniline-based nucleophiles. The approach
removes the need for direct handling of HF reagents in hydrofluorination
and offers possibilities to manipulate the fluorine content of organic
molecules through catalysis.

Abstract
We report a dehydroboration process that can be coupled with chain-walking hydroboration to create a one-pot, contra-thermodynamic, short- or long-range isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins. This dehydroboration occurs by a sequence comprising activation with a nucleophile, iodination, and base-promoted elimination. The isomerization proceeds at room temperature without the need for a fluoride base, and the substrate scope of this isomerization is expanded over those of previous isomerizations we have reported with silanes.

Abstract
A chemoselectivity switchable microflow reaction was developed to generate reactive and unstable intermediates. The switchable chemoselectivity of this reaction enables a selection for one of two different intermediates, an aryllithium or a benzyl lithium, at will from the same starting material. Starting from bromo-substituted styrenes, the aryllithium intermediates were converted to the substituted styrenes, whereas the benzyl lithium intermediates were engaged in an anionic polymerization. These chemoselectivity-switchable reactions can be integrated to produce polymers that cannot be formed during typical polymerization reactions.

Abstract
The incorporation of carbon-14 allows tracking of organic molecules and provides vital knowledge on their fate. This information is critical in pharmaceutical development, crop science, and human food safety evaluation. Herein, a transition-metal-catalyzed procedure enabling carbon isotope exchange on aromatic nitriles is described. By utilizing the radiolabeled precursor Zn([14C]CN)2, this protocol allows the insertion of the desired carbon tag without the need for structural modifications, in a single step. By reducing synthetic costs and limiting the generation of radioactive waste, this procedure will facilitate the labeling of nitrile containing drugs and accelerate 14C-based ADME studies supporting drug development.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to gain insights into the catalytic mechanism of the palladium/Lewis acid-catalyzed transfer hydrocyanation of terminal alkenes to reach the linear alkyl nitrile with excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity. The study reveals that the whole catalysis can be characterized via three stages: (i) oxidative addition generates the π-allyl complex IM2, followed by β-hydride elimination leading to the intermediate IM4, (ii) ligand exchange followed by Pd-H migratory alkene insertion gives the anti-Markovnikov intermediate IM6 and (iii) IM6 undergoes a reductive elimination step to form the linear terminal nitrile 3a and regenerates the active species for the next catalytic cycle. Each stage is kinetically and thermodynamically feasible. The oxidative addition step, with a barrier of 30.9 kcal mol-1, should be the rate-determining step (RDS) in the whole catalysis, which agrees with the experimental high temperature of 110 °C. Furthermore, the origin of the high regioselectivity of the product with excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity is discussed.

Abstract
A regiodivergent nickel-catalyzed hydrocyanation of a broad range of internal alkenes involving a chain-walking process is reported. When appropriate diastereomeric biaryl diphosphite ligands are applied, the same starting materials can be converted to either linear or branched nitriles with good yields and high regioselectivities. DFT calculations suggested that the catalyst architecture determines the regioselectivity by modulating electronic and steric interactions. In addition, moderate enantioselectivities were observed when branched nitriles were produced.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed chain-walking reactions have recently emerged as a powerful strategy to functionalize remote positions in organic molecules. However, a chain-walking protocol for nonconjugated dienes remains scarcely reported, and developments are currently ongoing. In this Communication, a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrocyanation of nonconjugated dienes involving a chain-walking process is demonstrated. The reaction exhibits excellent regio- and chemoselectivity, and a wide range of substrates were tolerated, delivering the products in high yields and enantioselectivities. Deuterium-labeling experiments support the chain-walking process, which involves an iterative β-H elimination and reinsertion processes. Gram-scale synthesis, regioconvergent experiments, and downstream transformations gave further insights into the high potential of this transformation.
