Abstract
The synthesis of complex polysubstituted aromatic molecules from simple precursors is a central goal in organic chemistry. In this study, we developed an approach for the ortho-alkylation of iodoarenes utilizing a dual ligand catalytic system. By combining Pd/olefin ligand cooperative catalysis with bulky trialkylphosphine ligand-promoted C(sp2)-I reductive elimination, we have established an ortho-alkylative Catellani-type reaction with the aryl-iodine bond reconstruction as the final step, which opens new synthetic opportunities within the Catellani-type reactions. Through in-depth mechanistic investigations, we have isolated and characterized key organopalladium intermediates, revealing the synergistic interaction of the dual ligands in merging the Catellani-type process with C(sp2)-I reductive elimination. The present study showcases the unique advantages of Pd/olefin ligand catalysis and emphasizes the effectiveness of the dual ligand system in expanding the chemical space of the Catellani chemistry.

Abstract
Since the discovery of the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE)-catalyzed ortho amination in 2013, escaping the limitation of only yielding tertiary anilines has been a long-standing challenge. Here, we describe that, by carefully choosing the phosphine ligand and NBE mediator, the installation of a N-mono-alkylamino group becomes feasible. The reaction tolerates a wide range of aryl iodide substrates and various N-mono-tertiary alkylamine-derived electrophiles. Both ipso alkenylation and alkynylation can be realized. The synthetic utility of this method is exemplified by the formation of primary amino group via selective deprotection and streamlined access to N-heterocycles. Preliminary success of installing a bulky N-secondary alkylamino group and a mechanistic understanding of the decomposition pathways of mono N-alkylamine electrophiles have been obtained.

Abstract
Herein, we present a novel Catellani-type reaction that employed aryl-thianthrenium salts as aryl substrates to trigger the subsequent palladium/norbornene cooperatively catalyzed progress. This strategy can achieve site-selective C-H difunctionalization of aryl compounds without directing groups or a known initiating reagent. A series of functionalized syntheses of bioactive molecules further demonstrated the potential of this strategy.

Abstract
Reaching the formidable C-H corners has been one of the top priorities of organic chemists in the recent past. This prompted us to disclose herein a vicinal annulation of 2-iodo benzoates, indoles, and carbazoles with N-embedded 1,6-enynes through 7-/8-membered palladacycles. The relay does not require the assistance of any directing group, leading to multicyclic scaffolds, which are readily diversified to an array of adducts (with new functional tethers and/or three contiguous stereocenters), in which we showcase a rare benzylic mono-oxygenation.

Abstract
As an important class of multicomponent reactions, the palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis has been mainly restricted to the coupling of an aryl halide, an electrophile and a nucleophile. Here, we report the development of a Pd/NBE-catalyzed four-component reaction, which involves ortho C-H amination/ipso conjunctive coupling using an alkene and an external nucleophile. The use of alkene-tethered nitrogen electrophiles provides a rapid and modular synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted indolines from readily available aryl iodides. The reaction exhibits broad functional group tolerance, and its utility is exemplified in a streamlined formal synthesis of a rhodamine dye. Preliminary results of the asymmetric version of this reaction have also been obtained.

Abstract
Aromatic amines are ubiquitous moieties in organic molecules and their direct functionalization is of great interest in many research areas due to their prevalence in pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. While several synthetic tools exist for the ortho- and para-functionalization of anilines, the functionalization of the less reactive meta-position is not easy to achieve with current methods. To date, the meta-C-H arylation of aniline derivatives has been restricted to either the use of directing groups & templates, or their transformation into anilides & quaternary anilinium salts. Herein, we report the first general and efficient meta-C-H-arylation of non-directed aniline derivatives via cooperative catalysis with a palladium-S,O-ligand-norbornene system. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with a wide range of aniline derivatives and aryl iodides, while being operationally simple and scalable. Our preliminary mechanistic investigation-including the isolation of several palladium complexes and deuterium experiments-reveal useful insights into the substituent-effects of both the aniline-substrate and the norbornene-mediator during the meta-C-H activation step.

Abstract
In this study, we present a straightforward and highly effective photo-triggered hydrogenation method for aryl halides, devoid of transition-metal catalysts. Through the synergistic utilization of light, PhNHNH2, and a base, we have successfully initiated the desired radical-mediated hydrogenation process. Remarkably, utilizing mild reaction conditions, a wide range of aryl halides, including fluorides, chlorides, bromides, and iodides, can be selectively transformed into their corresponding (hetero)arene counterparts, with exceptional yields. Additionally, this approach demonstrates a remarkable compatibility with diverse functional groups and heterocyclic compounds, highlighting its versatility and potential for use in various chemical transformations.

Abstract
Oxygen-substituted arenes widely exist in biologically important molecules and can serve as versatile handles to install other functional groups. However, direct and site-selective installation of oxygen groups to common aromatic compounds remains challenging, especially when additional arene functionalization is simultaneously required. Current arene C-H oxidation strategies generally require directing groups or precisely prefunctionalized substrates to control site-selectivity. While palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis is promising for site-specific arene vicinal difunctionalization through simultaneous reactions with an electrophile and a nucleophile, the electrophile scope has been limited to species based on relatively 'soft' elements, such as carbon, nitrogen and sulfur. Here we report the development of an ortho oxygenation reaction with common aryl halides to rapidly deliver diverse aryl ethers. The coupling of the 'hard' oxygen electrophile is enabled by a stable, polarity-reversed, conformationally predistorted N-O reagent and facilitated by a C7-bromo-substituted norbornene mediator. Mechanistic studies reveal a unique SN2-type pathway between the N-O reagent as the oxygen electrophile and an electron-rich Pd(II) nucleophile.

Abstract
While Catellani reactions have become increasingly important for arene functionalizations, they have been solely catalyzed by palladium. Here we report the first nickel-catalyzed Catellani-type annulation of aryl triflates and chlorides to form various benzocyclobutene-fused norbornanes in high efficiency. Mechanistic studies reveal a surprising outer-sphere concerted metalation/deprotonation pathway during the formation of the nickelacycle, as well as the essential roles of the base and the triflate anion. The reaction shows a broad functional group tolerance and enhanced regioselectivity compared to the corresponding palladium catalysis.

By this strategy, various ortho-alkenyl tertiary anilines including those bearing functional groups were produced in good to excellent yields. This reaction represents a new conversion model for phenoxides. It expands the scope of Catellani-type reactions and the application of phenoxides in organic synthesis.

Abstract
ConspectusBenzo-fused skeletons are ubiquitous in agrochemicals, medicines, natural products, catalysts, and other organic function materials. The assembly of these skeletons in an efficient manner is an actively explored field in organic synthesis. Palladium/norbornene (Pd/NBE) cooperative catalysis is a powerful tool for the expeditious assembly of polysubstituted arenes through bis-functionalization of the ortho and ipso positions of aryl iodides in one operation. Owing to the efforts of Lautens, Catellani, and others, an array of Pd/NBE-promoted annulations for the syntheses of diversified benzo-fused rings have been developed. However, these methods have not been broadly applied in total synthesis yet.Our group is interested in efficient and practical total synthesis of biologically active molecules. In the past 7 years, we have been devoted to the development of new annulation strategies for the assembly of common benzo-fused skeletons through Pd/NBE-promoted reactions of aryl iodides with novel bifunctional reagents. In this Account, we summarize our laboratory's systematic efforts in this direction. First, readily available epoxides and aziridines were exploited as versatile bifunctional alkylating reagents, which enables quick assembly of a series of valuable benzo-fused heterocycles, including isochromans, dihydrobenzofurans, 1,3-cis-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs), 1,3-trans-THIQs, etc. Second, a convergent access to 5-7-membered benzo-fused carbocycles (including indanes and tetrahydronaphthalenes) was developed by Pd/NBE-promoted annulation of aryl iodides with simple olefinic alcohol-containing alkylating reagents. Third, a Pd/NBE-promoted annulation between aryl iodides and cyclohexanone-containing amination reagents was developed for the construction of benzo-fused N-containing bridged scaffolds. Thus, we have established a practical and versatile toolbox for the quick assembly of diversified benzo-fused skeletons. These new annulation reactions are of high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities with good step and atom economy. Moreover, they are able to rapidly increase molecular complexity from simple building blocks. Finally, their synthetic value has been demonstrated by immediate adoption in several efficient total syntheses of medicines and complex natural products. Compared to conventional synthetic logics, the Pd/NBE-promoted annulation toolbox allows the development of highly convergent strategies, which significantly improves the overall synthetic efficiency.We believe the results presented in this Account will have significant implications beyond our research. It can be envisaged that new Pd/NBE-promoted annulations as well as new applications in complex total synthesis will be revealed in the near future.

Abstract
The Catellani reaction, i.e., the Pd/norbornene (NBE) catalysis, has been evolved into a versatile approach to multisubstituted arenes via the ortho-functionalization/ipso-termination process of a haloarene. Despite significant advances over the past 25 years, this reaction still suffered from an intrinsic limitation in the substitution pattern of haloarene, referred to as "ortho-constraint". When an ortho substituent is absent, the substrate often fails to undergo an effective mono ortho-functionalization process, and either ortho-difunctionalization products or NBE-embedded byproducts predominate. To tackle this challenge, structurally modified NBEs (smNBEs) have been developed, which were proved effective for the mono ortho-aminative, -acylative, and -arylative Catellani reactions of ortho-unsubstituted haloarenes. However, this strategy is incompetent for solving the ortho-constraint in Catellani reactions with ortho-alkylation, and to date there lacks a general solution to this challenging but synthetically useful transformation. Recently, our group developed the Pd/olefin catalysis, in which an unstrained cycloolefin ligand served as a covalent catalytic module to enable the ortho-alkylative Catellani reaction without NBE. In this work, we show that this chemistry could afford a new solution to ortho-constraint in the Catellani reaction. A functionalized cycloolefin ligand bearing an amide group as the internal base was designed, which allowed for mono ortho-alkylative Catellani reaction of iodoarenes suffering from ortho-constraint before. Mechanistic study revealed that this ligand is capable of both accelerating the C-H activation and inhibiting side reactions, which accounts for its superior performance. The present work showcased the uniqueness of the Pd/olefin catalysis as well as the power of rational ligand design in metal catalysis.

Abstract
Here, we describe a transition-metal-free condition that realized the intramolecular acylfluorination of unactivated olefins. It was designed to access seven-membered-ring-containing benzo[b]annulenones from readily prepared 2-allylamino benzoic acids. The formation of a broad scope of electronically and sterically varied benzo[b]annulenones was demonstrated (>30 examples, up to 88% yield and >20:1 dr ratio). Mechanistic studies indicated that the in situ formed XatlFluor-E-activated anhydride was the active species and induced an electrophilic 7-endo-trig cyclization, followed by fluoride capture of the cation.

Abstract
A new type of chirality, orientational chirality, consisting of a tetrahedron center and a remotely anchored blocker, has been discovered. The key structural element of this chirality is characterized by multiple orientations directed by a through-space functional group. The multi-step synthesis of orientational chiral targets was conducted by taking advantage of asymmetric nucleophilic addition, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling. An unprecedented catalytic species showing a five-membered ring consisting of C (sp2)-Br-Pd-C (sp2) bonds was isolated during performing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the species structure and absolute configuration of chiral orientation products. Based on X-ray structures, a model was proposed for the new chirality phenomenon to differentiate the present molecular framework from previous others. DFT computational study presented the relative stability of individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry branch and to have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
Orientational chirality was discovered and characterized by a C(sp)-C(sp3) axis-anchored chiral center and a remotely anchored blocker. X-ray structural analysis proved that orientatiomers are stabilized by through-space functional groups, making it possible for 1 R- or S-chiral center to exhibit 3 orientational isomers simply by rotating operations. A new model system was proposed, fundamentally different from the traditional Felkin-Ahn-type or Cram-type models. In these traditional models, chiral C(sp3) center and blocking C(sp2) carbons are connected adjacently, and there exist 6 energy barriers during rotating along the C(sp2)-C(sp3) axis. In comparison, the present orientational chirality model shows that a chiral C(sp)-C(sp3) carbon is remotely located from a blocking group. Thus, it is focused on the steric dialog between a chiral C(sp3) center and a remotely anchored functional group. There exist 3 energy barriers for either (R)- or (S)-C(sp)-C(sp3) stereogenicity in the new model. Chiral amide auxiliary was proven to be an excellent chiral auxiliary in controlling rotations of orientatiomers to give complete stereoselectivity. The asymmetric synthesis of individual orientatiomers was conducted via multistep synthesis by taking advantage of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Sonogashira coupling reactions. Density functional theory computational study presented optimized conformers and relative energies for individual orientatiomers. This discovery would be anticipated to result in a new stereochemistry topic and have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and material sciences in the future.

Abstract
Hexahydromethanocarbazole is a privileged scaffold in the discovery of new drugs and photoactive organic materials due to its good balance between structural complexity and minimized entropy penalty upon receptor binding. To address the difficulty of synthesizing this highly desirable bridged polycyclic scaffold, we designed a convenient multicomponent reaction cascade as intercepted Heck addition/C-H activation/C-palladacycle formation/electrophilic attack of ANP/N-palladacycle formation/Buchwald amination. A distinguishing feature of this sophisticated strategy is the successive generation of two key phenylnorbornyl palladium species to control the reaction flow towards desired products. DFT calculations further reveal the crucial roles of Cs2CO3 and 5,6-diester substitutions on the norbornene reactant in preventing multiple side-reactions. This innovative method exhibits a broad scope with good yields, and therefore will enable the construction of natural-product-like compound libraries based on hexahydromethanocarbazole.

Abstract
Reversing the conventional site-selectivity of C-H activation processes provides new retrosynthetic disconnections to otherwise unreactive bonds. Here, we report a new catalytic system based on palladium/norbornene and an S,O-ligand for the meta-C-H arylation of aryl ethers that significantly outperforms previously reported systems. We demonstrate the unique ability of this system to employ alkoxyarene substrates bearing electron donating and withdrawing substituents. Additionally, ortho-substituted aryl ethers are well tolerated, overcoming the "ortho constraint", which is the necessity to have a meta-substituent on the alkoxyarene to achieve high reaction efficiency, by enlisting novel norbornene mediators. Remarkably, for the first time the monoarylation of alkoxyarenes is achieved efficiently enabling the subsequent introduction of a second, different aryl coupling partner to rapidly furnish unsymmetrical terphenyls. Further insight into the reaction mechanism was achieved by isolation and characterization of some Pd-complexes-before and after meta C-H activation-prior to evaluation of their respective catalytic activities.

Abstract
The dearomative functionalization of aromatic compounds represents a fascinating but challenging transformation, as it typically needs to overcome a great kinetic barrier. Here, a catalyst-free dearomative rearrangement of o-nitrophenyl alkyne is successfully established by leveraging the remote oxygen transposition and a weak N-O bond acceleration. This reaction features high atom-, step- and redox-economy, which provides a divergent entry to a series of biologically important benzazepines and bridged polycycloalkanones. The reaction is proposed to proceed through a tandem oxygen transfer cyclization/(3 + 2) cycloaddition/(homo-)hetero-Claisen rearrangement reaction. The resulting polycyclic system is richly decorated with transformable functionalities, such as carbonyl, imine and diene, which enables diversity-oriented synthesis of alkaloid-like polycyclic framework. The dearomative functionalization of aromatic compounds represents a challenging transformation, as it typically needs to overcome a great kinetic barrier. Here, the authors disclose a weak-bond-accelerated, catalyst-free dearomative [3,3]-rearrangement of o-nitrophenyl alkyne for the divergent synthesis of benzazepines and bridged polycycloalkanones via remote oxygen transposition.

This methodology features the use of the low-cost industrial raw material CH2IF as the fluoromethyl source, an excellent functional group tolerance, and a broad ipso termination scope and can be expanded to the late-stage modification of biorelevant molecules.

Abstract
Polysubstituted indoles are prevalent in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic materials. Presented herein is the fact that polyfunctionalized indoles can be efficiently constructed from easily accessible oxime esters and aryl iodides, involving a palladium/norbornene synergistic synthesis. The reaction is enabled by a unique class of electrophiles in palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis, which are oxime esters derived from simple ketone. The broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance could make this method attractive for the synthesis of polysubstituted indoles.

Abstract
A catalyst-free [4+3]-cycloaddition reaction of N-aryl sulfilimines with cyclobutenones is described, which provides a straightforward protocol for synthesizing 1,5-dihydro-2H-benzo[b]azepin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions. This reaction features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance and does not require catalysts or additives. Moreover, using N-pyridinyl sulfilimine as the substrate, a series of pyridoazepinones have also been prepared.

Abstract
This report describes a palladium-catalyzed Catellani reaction consisting of amination/[2 + 3] or [2 + 4] cyclization via a carboxylate ligand-exchange strategy. This method effectively activates ortho-substituents that avoid a second C-H palladation. The scope of substrates was broad, o-methyl-substituted iodoarenes were applied to the reaction smoothly, and o-phenyl-substituted iodoarenes can also be obtained by this method. In terms of mechanism, density functional theory calculations proved the sequence of the key five-membered aryl-norbornene-palladacycle intermediate formation and C(sp3 or sp2)-H activation.

Abstract
This report describes palladium-catalyzed C–H glycosylation and retro Diels–Alder tandem reaction via structurally modified norbornadienes (smNBDs). smNBDs were proposed to regulate the reactivity of the aryl-norbornadiene-palladacycle (ANP), including its high chemoselectivity and regioselectivity, which were the key to constructing C2 and C3 unsubstituted C4-glycosidic indoles. The scope of this substrate is extensive; the halogenated six-membered and five-membered glycosides were applied to the reaction smoothly, and N-alkyl (primary, secondary and tertiary) C4-glycosidic indoles can also be obtained by this method. In terms of mechanism, the key ANP intermediates characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and further controlled experiments proved that the migration-insertion of smNBDs with phenylpalladium intermediate endows them with high chemo- and regioselectivity. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculation further verified the rationality of the mechanism. This report describes palladium-catalyzed C–H glycosylation and retro Diels–Alder tandem reaction via structurally modified norbornadienes (smNBDs).![]()
