Abstract
A ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation and a concomitant [4+2] annulation of sulfoxonium ylide with maleimide have been demonstrated. This tandem reaction results in the formation of fused benzo[e]isoindole-1,3,5-trione. The method employs mild conditions and is free of metal oxidants. The reaction pathway predominantly involves protodemetalation over β-hydride elimination due to the lack of syn β-hydrogens.

Abstract
Ketones, as essential functional group skeletons, have garnered significant interest due to their diverse transformations. Herein, we describe a versatile photoredox catalyzed deacylation-aroylation strategy that enables the direct transformation of alkyl ketones to aryl ketones. This process involves photoredox deacylation of dihydroquinazolinones derived from alkyl ketones to generate alkyl radicals, followed by subsequent NHC-catalyzed or NHC-mediated radical aroylation.

Abstract
Building C(sp3)-rich architectures using simple and readily available starting materials will greatly advance modern drug discovery. C(sp3)-H and C(sp3)-O bonds are commonly used to strategically disassemble and construct bioactive compounds, respectively. However, the direct cross coupling of these two chemical bonds to form C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds is rarely explored in existing literature. Conventional methods for forming C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds via radical-radical coupling pathways often suffer from poor selectivity, severely limiting their practicality in synthetic applications. In this study, we present a single electron transfer (SET) strategy that enables the cleavage of amine α-C - H bonds and heterobenzylic C - O bonds to form C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal a hydrogen bond interaction between substrates and phosphoric acid facilitates the cross-coupling of two radicals with high chemoselectivity. This methodology provides an effective approach to a variety of aza-heterocyclic unnatural amino acids and bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Sulfur(VI)-based functional groups are popular scaffolds in a wide variety of research fields including synthetic and medicinal chemistry, as well as chemical biology. The growing interest in sulfur(VI)-containing molecules has motivated the scientific community to explore new methods to synthesize and modify them. Here, photocatalysis plays a key role granting access to new types of reactivity under mild reaction conditions. In this Perspective, we present a selection of works reported in the last six years focused on the photocatalytic assembly and reactivity of sulfones, sulfonamides, and sulfoximines. We addressed the key synthetic intermediates for each transformation, while discussing limitations and strength points of the protocols. Future directions of the field are finally presented.

Chem Sci 2024; 15:11794-11806.

Abstract
The iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of benzamides typically leads to meta and para selectivities using state-of-the-art iridium-based N,N-chelating bipyridine ligands. However, reaching ortho selectivity patterns requires extensive trial-and-error screening via molecular design at the ligand first coordination sphere. Herein, we demonstrate that triazolylpyridines are excellent ligands for the selective iridium-catalyzed ortho C-H borylation of tertiary benzamides and, importantly, we demonstrate the almost negligible effect of the first coordination sphere in the selectivity, which is so far unprecedented in iridium C-H bond borylations. Remarkably, the activity is dramatically enhanced by exploiting a remote Zn⋯O[double bond, length as m-dash]C weak interaction between the substrate and a rationally designed molecular-recognition site in the catalyst. Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that the iridium-catalyzed C-H activation step is not rate-determining, this being unique for remotely controlled C-H functionalizations. Consequently, a previously established supramolecular iridium catalyst designed for meta-borylation of pyridines is now compatible with the ortho-borylation of benzamides, a regioselectivity switch that is counter-intuitive regarding precedents in the literature. In addition, we highlight the role of the cyclohexene additive in avoiding the formation of undesired side-products as well as accelerating the HBpin release event that precedes the catalyst regeneration step, which is highly relevant for the design of powerful and selective iridium borylating catalysts.

Abstract
Site-selective ortho/ipso C-H difunctionalizations of aromatic compounds were designed to afford polyfunctionalized arenes including challenging 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted ones (62 examples, up to 97 % yields). To ensure the excellent regioselectivity of the process while keeping high efficiency, an original strategy based on a "C-H thianthenation/Catellani-type reaction" sequence was developed starting from simple arenes. Non-prefunctionalized arenes were first regioselectively converted into the corresponding thianthrenium salts. Then, a palladium-catalyzed, norbornene (NBE)-mediated process allowed the synthesis of ipso-olefinated/ortho-alkylated polyfunctionalized arenes using a thianthrene as a leaving group (revisited Catellani reaction). Pleasingly, using a commercially available norbornene (NBE) and a unique catalytic system, synthetic challenges known for the Catellani reaction with aryl iodides were smoothly and successfully tackled with the "thianthrenium" approach. The protocol was robust (gram-scale reaction) and was widely applied to the two-fold functionalization of various arenes including bio-active compounds. Moreover, a panel of olefins and alkyl halides as coupling partners was suitable. Pleasingly, the "thianthrenium" strategy was successfully further applied to the incorporation of other groups at the ipso (CN/alkyl/H, aryl) and ortho (alkyl, aryl, amine, thiol) positions, showcasing the generality of the process.

Abstract
An efficient and broadly applicable rhodium-catalyzed direct ortho-arylation of anilines with aryl iodides relying on readily available aminophosphines as traceless directing groups is reported. Its scope and functional group compatibility were both found to be quite broad as a large variety of both aminophosphines and (hetero)aryl iodides, including complex ones, could be utilized. The ortho-arylated anilines could be obtained in high average yields, without any competing diarylation and with full regioselectivity, which constitutes a major step forward compared to other processes. The reaction is moreover not limited to aryl iodides, as an aryl bromide and a triflate could be successfully used, and could be extended to diarylation. Mechanistic studies revealed the key and unique role of the aminophosphine, acting not only as a substrate but also as a ligand for the rhodium catalyst.

Abstract
Enantioselective C(sp3)-H activation has garnered significant attention in synthetic and computational chemistry. Chiral transient directing groups (TDGs) hold promise for enabling Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization. Despite the interest in this strategy, it presents a challenge because the stereogenic center on the chiral TDG is frequently distant from the C-H bond, leading to a mixture of functionalized products. Our computational study on Pd(II)-catalyzed enantioselective β-C(sp3)-H arylation of aliphatic ketone with chiral amino acids provides a sustainable route to synthesizing complex chiral molecular scaffolds. The cooperative action of 2-pyridone derivatives and chiral amino acids is crucial in promoting the enantio-discriminating C-H activation, oxidative addition, and reductive elimination steps. Using 5-nitro-2-pyridone as the optimal external ligand demonstrates its ability to achieve the highest level of enantioselection. In contrast, the modeled 3,5-di((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)-2-pyridone ligand facilitates the most straightforward C-H activation. This study underscores the pivotal role of the alkyl substituent at the α-position of the amino acid (TDG) in altering enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions have attracted attention as short-step synthetic methods for C-C bond formation. Recently, we have developed CDC reactions between naphthalene and fluorobenzene. Rather than exhibiting general regioselectivity, this reaction proceeds selectively at the β-position of naphthalene. In this study, investigation using model complexes as reaction intermediates revealed that the origin of the unique selectivity is the exclusive occurrence of reductive elimination at the β-position. Detailed studies on the reductive elimination showed that the steric hindrance of the naphthyl group and the electron-withdrawing properties of fluorobenzene determine the position at which the reductive elimination reaction proceeds. These results show that the selectivity of the C-H functionalisation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is determined not by the C-H cleavage step, but by the subsequent reductive elimination step. The regioselective CDC reaction was adaptable to various PAHs but was less selective for pyrene with extended π-conjugation. In fluorobenzene substrates, the F atoms at the two ortho positions of the C-H moiety are necessary for high selectivity. The substrate ranges are in good agreement with the proposed mechanism, in which the reductive elimination step determines the regioselectivity.

Abstract
An organophotoredox-catalyzed oxidative C-H functionalization of benzophospholes has been developed. The C-H alkoxycarbonylation with methyl carbazate occurs in the presence of Rose bengal, whereas Eosin Y enables the dehydrogenative coupling with secondary phosphine oxides and ethers, delivering the C-H phosphinylated and alkylated products. The scope of coupling partners is complementary to that of conventional metal-promoted C-H activation, thus successfully expanding the chemical space of substituted phospholes accessed by C-H functionalization protocols.

Abstract
Dehydration of alcohols is one of the most fundamental transformations in the organic chemistry class and one of the most widely used methods for producing alkenes in synthetic research. Numerous methods and reagents have been developed to control the regio- and stereoselectivity as well as the dehydration efficiency of normal alcohols. Despite these achievements, regio- and stereoselective and predictable dehydration of allylic alcohol has seldom been reported, except for limited substrates with a native preferred elimination position, as a result of the challenges that many potential dienes could be formed via 1,2- or 1,4-syn- or anti-elimination. Here, we report a tBuOK/potassium 2,2-difluoroacetate-mediated 1,4-syn-dehydration of allylic alcohol for the synthesis of regio- and stereodefined conjugated dienes via an in situ generated directing group strategy. This reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility for primary-tertiary alcohols. The simple and scalable (up to 0.6 mol) procedure with readily available and inexpensive reagents makes it a practical method for conjugated diene synthesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that an acetate with tert-butoxide and allyloxide acetal moiety is formed as an intermediate, in which the acetate and the acetal act as the directing group for the base-promoted elimination. An unusual H2 evolution is also involved in the reaction.

Chem Rev 2024; 124:7731-7828. [PMID: 38864673 PMCID: PMC11212060 DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.3c00923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The aryl O-carbamate (ArOAm) group is among the strongest of the directed metalation groups (DMGs) in directed ortho metalation (DoM) chemistry, especially in the form Ar-OCONEt2. Since the last comprehensive review of metalation chemistry involving ArOAms (published more than 30 years ago), the field has expanded significantly. For example, it now encompasses new substrates, solvent systems, and metalating agents, while conditions have been developed enabling metalation of ArOAm to be conducted in a green and sustainable manner. The ArOAm group has also proven to be effective in the anionic ortho-Fries (AoF) rearrangement, Directed remote metalation (DreM), iterative DoM sequences, and DoM-halogen dance (HalD) synthetic strategies and has been transformed into a diverse range of functionalities and coupled with various groups through a range of cross-coupling (CC) strategies. Of ultimate value, the ArOAm group has demonstrated utility in the synthesis of a diverse range of bioactive and polycyclic aromatic compounds for various applications.

Abstract
Indoles, indolines and hydronaphthylamines are ubiquitous structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and biologically active molecules. In this paper, we report the synthesis of aminodihydronaphthyl-substituted indoles and indolines via a Ru-catalyzed carbamoyl-directed C-H functionalization of indoles and indolines with 7-azabenzonorbornadienes. In the presence of Cu(OAc)2 and AgSbF6, [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 catalyzes the reaction of 1-carbamoylindoles with 7-azabenzonorbornadienes to produce 2-(1-amino-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)indoles. Under the same conditions, the reaction of 1-carbamoylindolines with 7-azabenzonorbornadienes affords 7-(1-amino-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-2-yl)indolines. In both cases, the reactions yield cis-configured products.

Abstract
The late-stage functionalization of active pharmaceutical ingredients is a key challenge in medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, N-aryl triazoles and tetrazoles are important structural motifs with the potential to boost the activity of diverse drug molecules. Using easily accessible dibenzothiophenium salts for the ruthenium-catalyzed C-H arylation, these scaffolds were introduced into a variety of bioactive compounds. Our methodology uses cost-efficient ruthenium, KOAc as a mild base and gives access to a plethora of highly decorated triazole and tetrazole containing drug derivatives.

Abstract
A highly ortho-selective CAr-H olefination of tertiary anilines without a directing group was developed. This reaction tolerated various substituted arenes and olefin coupling partners, affording ortho-olefination products in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that N-Ac-d-Ala, Ag2CO3, and BQ were the key factors for tuning the regioselectivity from para to ortho. Density functional theory was used to achieve a theoretical understanding of the ortho selectivity.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed dual C-H functionalization of substituted aromatic ketones and ester with maleimides leading to tricyclic heterocyclic molecules with good to excellent yield is reported. In this protocol, weak chelation of the carbonyl groups has been successfully utilized for the selective activation of the ortho-methyl C(sp3)-H bond instead of the ortho-C(sp2)-H bond in the presence of an external bidentate ligand Ac-Ile-OH. The reaction proceeds through two-fold C-H activation to generate a five-membered cyclic ring. The first C-H activation takes place selectively at the benzylic position followed by a second C-H bond activation at the meta position. The protocol demonstrates compatibility among diverse substituted aromatic ketones and ester as well as various substituted maleimides. Further derivatization of the tricyclic ketone to an alcohol exhibits the synthetic applicability of the protocol. Also, a plausible reaction mechanism has been proposed.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed aromatic olefination through direct C-H activation represents an atom and step-economic route for versatile pharmaceutical syntheses, and in many cases, different stoichiometric oxidants are frequently employed for achieving a reasonable catalytic efficiency of the transition metal ions. Herein, we report a Lewis acid promoted Pd(II)-catalyzed acetanilide olefination reaction with atmospheric dioxygen as the oxidant source. The linkage of the Lewis acid to the Pd(II) species through a diacetate bridge significantly improved its catalytic efficiency, and independent kinetic studies on the olefination step revealed that adding the Lewis acid significantly accelerated the olefination rate as well as the C-H activation step. A strong basicity of the internal base in the Pd(II) salt also benefited the olefination reaction plausibly through base-assisted β-hydride elimination.

Abstract
Understanding the reaction mechanism and origin of regioselectivity in transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation reactions with 1,3-diynes has remained an intriguing challenge. In this article, to establish the mechanism and decipher the origin of regioselectivity, we report a detailed computational density functional theory-based mechanistic investigation on the recently developed Ru(II)-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of N-chlorobenzamides with 1,3-diynes for the synthesis of 3-alkynylated isoquinolone derivatives. Our calculations reveal a redox-neutral pathway for the annulation reaction. The stepwise analysis of the reaction channels indicates the migratory insertion step and the concerted reductive elimination/oxidative addition of the Ru(p-cymene) moiety to form the N-C bond leading to the 3-alkynylated product to be the selectivity- and rate-determining steps, respectively. Finally, the distortion/interaction analysis using the activation-strain model suggests the steric effect as the determining factor for the observed regioselectivity for the formation of the 3-alkynylated product. Overall, the computationally obtained key insights into the catalytic mechanism and the origin of regioselectivity in the C-H activation/annulation reaction can be used as a guide to rationally design and develop novel transformation strategies for heterocycle synthesis.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed region-selective C7-trifluoromethylation of indolines using commercially available Umemoto's reagent was reported. The reaction utilizing Umemoto's reagent as CF3 radical precursor, pyrimidine as a removable directing group, Pd(II) as a catalyst, and Cu(II) as an oxidant furnished the required products with excellent regioselectivities and good yields. The present strategy has good region-selectivity, broad substrate scope, and scale-up application. Additionally, the present method was underlined by the direct C-1 trifluoromethylation of carbazoles. Furthermore, C7 trifluoromethylated indole can also be easily obtained via Pd-catalyzed direct C-7 trifluoromethylation/oxidation/deprotection sequential reactions.

Abstract
Non-directed C-H arylation is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize biaryl compounds without the need of the prefuctionalization of starting materials, or the installment and removal of directing groups on the substrate. A direct C-H arylation of simple arenes as limiting reactants remains a challenge. Here we disclose a non-directed C-H arylation of anisole derivatives as limiting reagents with aryl iodides under mild reaction conditions. The arylated products are obtained in synthetically useful yields and the arylation of bioactive molecules is also demonstrated. Key to the success of this methodology is the use of a one-step synthesized S,O-ligand.

Abstract
Despite their utility as directing groups, the C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropanes utilizing hydrazones has not been explored. Herein, Pd-catalyzed C-C bond cleavage reaction of N-cyclopropyl acylhydrazones, followed by cycloisomerization to yield pyrazoles, has been developed. The protocol enables the synthesis of various α-pyrazole carbonyl compounds, which have a potential of biological activity. Control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that β-carbon elimination of a stable 6-membered chelate palladium complex occurs, generating a conjugated azine as a reaction intermediate for the following cycloisomerization.

Abstract
Functionalization of C-H bonds has emerged as a powerful strategy for converting inert, nonfunctional C-H bonds into their reactive counterparts. A wide range of C-H bond functionalization reactions has become possible by the catalysis of metals, typically from the second row of transition metals. First-row transition metals can also catalyze C-H functionalization, and they have the merits of greater earth-abundance, lower cost and better environmental friendliness in comparison to their second-row counterparts. C-H bond alkylation is a particularly important C-H functionalization reaction due to its chemical significance and its applications in natural product synthesis. This review covers Ni-catalyzed C-H bond alkylation reactions using alkyl halides and olefins as alkyl sources.

Abstract
A regioselective coupling of ortho-heteroaryl anilines and 7-oxabenzonorbornadienes has been developed by leveraging free amine-directed redox-neutral Ru(II) catalysis. This protocol facilitates formal C-2 arylation of the indole moiety under mild conditions to offer valuable heterobiaryls in high yields. The reaction displays a broad substrate generality and scalability and retains efficacy in the presence of diverse pharmacophore scaffolds. Moreover, products bearing a free amine group were successfully employed in Mg(NTf2)2-catalyzed double Michael addition cascade, which led to the synthesis of intricate indole- and pyrrole-fused azaheterocycles.

Abstract
Catalysed C-H activation has emerged as a transformative platform for molecular synthesis and provides new opportunities in drug discovery by late-stage functionalisation (LSF) of complex molecules. Notably, small aliphatic motifs have gained significant interest in medicinal chemistry for their beneficial properties and applications as sp3-rich functional group bioisosteres. In this context, we disclose a versatile strategy with broad applicability for the ruthenium-catalysed late-stage meta-C(sp2)-H alkylation of pharmaceuticals. This general protocol leverages numerous directing groups inherently part of bioactive scaffolds to selectivity install a variety of medicinally relevant bifunctional alkyl units within drug compounds. Our strategy enables the direct modification of unprotected lead structures to quickly generate an array of pharmaceutically useful analogues without resorting to de novo syntheses. Moreover, productive late-stage modulation of key biological characteristics of drug candidates upon remote C-H alkylation proves viable, highlighting the major benefits of our approach to offer in drug development programmes.

Abstract
ConspectusThe advent of the twenty-first century marked a golden era in the realm of synthetic chemistry, exemplified by groundbreaking advancements in the field of C-H activation, which is a concept that quickly transitioned from mere academic fascination to an essential element within the synthetic chemist's toolkit. This methodological breakthrough has given rise to a wealth of opportunities spanning a wide range of chemical disciplines. It has facilitated the late-stage diversification of elaborate organic frameworks, encompassing the spectrum from simple methane to complex polymers, thus refining the lead optimization process and easing the production of diverse molecular analogues. Among these strides forward, the development of phosphorus(III)-directed C-H activation stands out as an increasingly significant and inventive approach for the design and synthesis of ligands, substantially redefining the contours of synthetic methodology.Phosphines, renowned for their roles as ligands and organocatalysts, have become fundamentally important in modern organic chemistry. Their efficiency as ligands is significantly affected by coordination with transition metals, which is essential for their involvement in catalytic processes, influencing both the catalytic activity and the selectivity. Historically, the fabrication of phosphines predominantly relied on synthesis employing complex, multistep procedures. Addressing this limitation, our research has delved into ligand design and synthesis through innovative catalytic P(III)-directed C-H activation strategies. In this Account, we have explored a spectrum of procedures, including direct arylation using metal catalysis, and ventured further into domains such as C-H alkylation, alkenylation, aminocarbonylation, alkynylation, borylation, and silylation. These advances have enriched the field by providing efficient methods for the late-stage diversification of biaryl-type monophosphines as well as enabled the C-H activation of triphenylphosphine and its derivatives. Moreover, we have successfully constructed libraries of diverse axially chiral binaphthyl phosphine ligands, showcasing their potency in asymmetric catalysis. Through this Account, we aim to illuminate the exciting possibilities presented by P(III)-directed C-H activation in propelling the boundaries of organic synthesis. By highlighting our pioneering work, we hope to inspire further developments in this promising field of chemistry.

Abstract
Herein, we report the C-H cyanation of indoles via a palladium-catalyzed directed C-CN activation reaction using aryl nitrile as a cyano source. The employment of the phenoxy-oriented group is the key to the cleavage of the C-CN bond. This protocol features a broad substrate scope, good efficiency, and high regioselectivity. Furthermore, the practical application of this protocol was showcased in the late-stage functionalization and synthesis of indole derivatives, which were derived from drugs and natural products, through the process of cyanation.

Abstract
An enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed C(sp3 )-H alkenylation of thioamides with but-2-ynoate ester coupling partners employing thioamide directing groups is presented. The method is operationally simple and requires only mild reaction conditions, while providing alkenylated products as single regioisomers in excellent yields (up to 85 %) and high enantiomeric excess [up to 91 : 9 enantiomeric ratio (er), or up to >99 : 1 er after a single recrystallization]. Diverse downstream derivatizations of the products are demonstrated, delivering a range of enantioenriched constructs. Extensive computational studies using density functional theory provide insight into the detailed reaction mechanism, origin of enantiocontrol, and the unusual regioselectivity of the alkenylation reaction.

Unravelling hidden threats of water disinfection: Toxicity evaluation and toxic products identification during diclofenac degradation. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 345:123424. [PMID: 38278408 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF) is a widely-used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is routinely found in surface water bodies. While ozonation and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are commonly employed as disinfection methods in water treatment processes, the degradation of DCF in these processes occurs due to the strong oxidizing activity of the reactive oxygen species produced during both ozonation and UV radiation. Despite extensive studies reporting the removal and transformation of DCF through ozone and UV treatments, the potential hidden hazards of toxicity arising from these processes as well as the identification of the toxic transformation products have often been overlooked. In this study, various toxicities including microtoxicity, genotoxicity and antiestrogenicity were evaluated using multiple in-vitro bioassays. The transformation products were identified via ultra-performance liquid chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Correlation analysis was employed to gain deeper insight into the contributions of degradation products to overall toxicity. The results revealed that DCF possessed significant genotoxic and antiestrogenic effects, but displayed minimal microtoxicity. Microtoxic products such as those containing carbazole were generated during DCF degradation with ozone, UVA and UVC. Antiestrogenic products with dichloroaniline structures were observed in DCF ozonation but not in photodegradation by UVA and UVC. These findings highlighted the hidden risks associated with the disinfection of water containing micropollutants such as DCF.

Abstract
Monodentate chelation-assisted direct ortho-C-H sulfonylation of (hetero)arenes using TosMIC as the novel sulfonylating reagent has been developed. A broad range of substrates, including indolines, indoles, 2-phenylpyridines, and others were well tolerated to afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies revealed that the sulfonyl radical might be involved. Inspired by the above discovery, preliminary para-C-H sulfonylation of naphthalene substrate was also successfully realized. The current protocol featured with cheap metal catalysis, good functional group compatibility, and operational convenience.

Abstract
Herein, the Ru-catalyzed chemo- and regioselective formation of four novel organoselenium compounds is established. Mono- and dialkenylated selanes were formed by the Se-directed o-C-H activation of benzyl(phenyl)selanes with alkynes. Unprecedented debenzylative/dearylative hydroselenations of alkynes were performed by slightly varying the amount of catalyst and temperature. Catalyst-driven direct formation of novel isoselenochromenes is also recorded. Altogether, 45 new organoseleno compounds were synthesized in good amounts with varieties of alkynes and selanes. This is the first report of its kind to deal with the synthesis of novel, challenging, and unusual organoseleno compounds in one reaction.

Abstract
In the last few decades, directed C-H bond functionalization has had enormous applicability in academia and industry. The development of a novel, readily accessible, and scalable directing group with modifiable ability is highly desirable in C-H functionalization. Herein, we report the 1,2,3-thiadiazole as a modifiable directing group for C-H amidation and alkynylation with dioxazolones, p-toluenesulfonyl azide, and bromoalkynes in high yield. The densely functionalized 1,2,3-thiadiazole products are modified into thioamide, multisubstituted furan, γ-thiapyrone, thiazole, and various alkynyl sulfides through simple and one-step reactions. The competition experiments reveal that the directing ability of 1,2,3-thiadiazole is slightly weaker than pyridine and bidentate amide but stronger than the widely used carboxylate.

Abstract
In this study, a modular approach toward cyclic sulfoximines and sulfondiimines via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H/C-C activation reactions was reported. Various 1,2-benzothiazines including bicyclic, tricyclic, highly fused ones, ones of the seven-membered ring, along with 1,2-benzothiazine 1-imines were accessed in good yields. KIE experiment demonstrated that the C-H bond cleavage at the position ortho to the sulfoximine group is not the rate-determining step in the coupling reaction.

Abstract
Modular and regio-/stereoselective syntheses of all-carbon tetrasubstituted olefins from simple alkene materials remain a challenging project. Here, we demonstrate that a remote-carbonyl-directed palladium-catalyzed Heck/isomerization/C(sp2)-H arylation sequence enables unactivated 1,1-disubstituted alkenes to undergo stereoselective terminal diarylation with aryl iodides, thus offering a concise approach to construct stereodefined tetrasubstituted olefins in generally good yields under mild conditions; diverse carbonyl groups are allowed to act as directing groups, and various aryl groups can be introduced at the desired position simply by changing aryl iodides. The stereocontrol of the protocol stems from the compatibility between the E/Z isomerization and the alkenyl C(sp2)-H arylation, where the vicinal group-directed C(sp2)-H arylation of the Z-type intermediate product thermodynamically drives the reversible E to Z isomerization. Besides, the carbonyl group not only promotes the Pd-catalyzed sequential transformations of unactivated alkenes by weak coordination, but also avoids byproducts caused by other possible β-H elimination.

Abstract
Arene-tethered diols constitute a valuable class of structural motifs of drug and bioactive natural product molecules. In this study, a regioselective protocol for olefination and arylation of arene-tethered 1,2-diols and 1,3-diols has been developed using easily foldable acetal structures for attaching pyridine and nitrile directing groups. The method overcomes the steric hindrance effect of the short-chain diols and affords products in high yield and regioselectivity. This efficient cascaded catalysis has been successfully utilized in the syntheses of natural products such as peucedanol, decursinol, and marmesin.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the regioselective functionalization of unsymmetrical ketones using imine directing groups, Cu, and H2O2. The C-H hydroxylation of the substrate-ligands derived from 2-substituted benzophenones occurred exclusively at the γ-position of the unsubstituted ring due to the formation of only one imine stereoisomer. Conversely, the imines derived from 4-substituted benzophenones produced E/Z mixtures that upon reacting with Cu and H2O2 led to two γ-C-H hydroxylation products. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, the ratio of the hydroxylation products did not depend on the ratio of the E/Z isomers but on the electrophilicity of the reactive [LCuOOH]1+. A detailed mechanistic analysis suggests a fast isomerization of the imine substrate-ligand binding the CuOOH core before the rate-determining electrophilic aromatic hydroxylation. Varying the benzophenone substituents and/or introducing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the 4-position of pyridine of the directing group allowed for fine-tuning of the electrophilicity of the mononuclear [LCuOOH]1+ to reach remarkable regioselectivities (up to 91:9 favoring the hydroxylation of the electron-rich arene ring). Lastly, we performed the C-H hydroxylation of alkyl aryl ketones, and like in the unsymmetrical benzophenones, the regioselectivity of the transformations (sp3 vs sp2) could be controlled by varying the electronics of the substrate and/or the directing group.

Abstract
A versatile Ir(iii)-catalyzed C-H amidation of arenes by employing readily available and stable OH-free hydroxyamides as a novel amidation source. The reaction occurred with high efficiency and tolerance of a range of functional groups. A wide scope of aryl OH-free hydroxyzamides, including conjugated and challenging non-conjugated OH-free hydroxyzamides, were capable of this transformation and no addition of an external oxidant is required. This protocol provided a simple, straightforward and economic method to a variety N-(2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)alkyl)amide derivates with good to excellent yield. Mechanistic study demonstrated that reversible C-H bond functionalisation might be involved in this reaction.

Abstract
Planar chiral ferrocenyl phosphines have been employed as highly valuable ligands in metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. However, their preparation remains a formidable challenge due to the requirement for intricate, multistep synthetic sequences. In addressing this issue, we have developed a groundbreaking enantioselective C-H activation strategy facilitated by P(III) directing groups, enabling the efficient construction of planar chiral ferrocenyl phosphines in a single step. Our innovative approach entails the combination of a palladium catalyst, a parent ferrocenyl phosphine, and a chiral phosphoramidite ligand, leading to exceptional reactivity and enantioselectivity. Remarkably, these novel ligands exhibit remarkable efficacy in silver-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. We carried out a combination of experimental and computational studies to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the reaction pathway and the factors contributing to enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Chemical transformations involving the pyrenylglycine motif (an unnatural amino acid) and practical methods toward it are seldom known. This work aimed at developing a method for synthesizing novel pyrenylglycine (pyrene-based glycine) unnatural amino acid derivatives. To realize this, initially, a new pyrenylglycine substrate possessing the picolinamide moiety was assembled via the Ugi multicomponent reaction. The picolinamide moiety linked to amine substrates is a well-known bidentate directing group for accomplishing the site-selective γ-C-H functionalization of amines. Subsequently, it was aimed at using a Pd(II)-catalyzed bidentate directing group-aided γ-C-H arylation strategy for generating a wide range of unprecedented examples of C(2)-H arylated pyrenylglycines. Accordingly, pyrenylglycine possessing the picolinamide moiety was subjected to Pd(II)-catalyzed C(2)-H arylation in the non-K-region to afford a library of C(2)-arylated pyrenylglycines (π-extended pyrenes). Additionally, pyrenylglycine-based small peptides were assembled using C(2)-arylated pyrenylglycines. The X-ray structure of a representative compound was obtained, which corroborated the structure of pyrenylglycine and the regioselectivity of C(2)-H arylation of the pyrene in the non-K-region.

Abstract
Transition metal (TM)-catalyzed direct amination of C-H bonds on free or fused pyridine (Py) rings with free amines still remains scarce because amines and the Py ring tend to adopt a nonproductive N-bound coordination with many TMs, leading to a significant decrease of catalytic reactivity. We herein disclose a nickel-catalyzed and a sacrificial N-oxide group directed oxidative coupling of (iso)quinolyl C-H bonds and alicyclic amines, which furnishes bioimportant amino(iso)quinolines efficiently and selectively in a single step. Noteworthy, this protocol avoids the use of aggressive reactants and very strong bases usually required when aminating on nonoxidized Py rings.

Abstract
Halogenated aryl amines are a widely used chemical feedstock in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Achieving a single regioselective product from the para-selective halogenation of the aryl ring is significantly challenging because of the presence of several C-H bonds with similar reactivities. In this study, single para-halogenated aniline derivatives were prepared by the cascade para-selective halogenation (Cl, Br) and reduction of nitrobenzene derivatives using a mixture of SnCl2/SnCl4 salts. The mechanistic study confirmed that the noncovalent interactions between the chalcogen bond and Sn salt were pivotal for achieving regioselectivity. This synthetic method was applied for the development of potent and highly selective positron emission tomography molecular probes for serotonin transporters.

Abstract
Copper-mediated radiofluorination (CMRF) of organoboronic precursors is the method of choice for late-stage radiofluorination of aromatic compounds as positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. However, CMRF generally requires harsh reaction conditions, a large amount of substrates, and harsh solvents (e.g., DMA) to proceed, affording variable radiochemical yields (RCYs). Using [18F]tosyl fluoride as the source of [18F]fluoride, we have found a highly efficient CMRF of organoboronic precursors, assisted by a directing group (DG) at the ortho position. The reaction can be carried out under mild conditions (even at room temperature) in acetonitrile and results in high RCYs, providing a novel strategy for the radiofluorination of aromatic compounds. The exploration of this strategy also provided more information about side reactions in CMRF. Using this strategy, [18F]olaparib has been radiosynthesized in high RCYs, with high molar activity and high chemical and radiochemical purities, demonstrating the great potential of DG-assisted CMRF in the preparation of 18F-labeled PET radiotracers.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions that involve the direct functionalization of insert C-H bond represent one of the most efficient strategies for forming carbon-carbon bonds. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H bond arylation of triaryl phosphates is reported to access seven-membered cyclic biarylphosphonate targets. The reaction is achieved via a unique eight-membered palladacyclic intermediate and shows good functional group compatibility. Meanwhile, the product can be readily converted into other valuable phosphate compounds.
