Abstract
Visible light-induced aza-6π electrocyclization was developed for the synthesis of aza-arenes from nitroarenes with diverse aldehydes. This protocol allows the reduction of nitroarenes by B2nep2 and subsequent 6π-electrocyclization of the in situ formed imine under visible light. An array of 6- and multi-substituted phenanthridines were constructed in moderate to good yields under purple LEDs at room temperature. A wide scope of substrates with diverse functional groups were well tolerated. In addition, the synthetic utility of this methodology was further demonstrated in the late-stage functionalization of celecoxib.

Abstract
The super organoreductant CBZ6-catalyzed tandem transalkylation-cyclization using amines as traceless radical donors and stabilizer is reported. The later-stage breaking of an N-C bond enables the transalkylation with a secondary amine as the leaving moiety. A wide range of tertiary amines were used as alkyl radical donors for the C1-C8 alkyls. This traceless stabilizer also enabled the transalkylation with methyl radical, which is normally not possible because of the instability of methyl radical.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids via a synergistic combination of C-C bond formation and a cycloaromatization reaction is described. Aryl nitrones react with 7-azabenzonorbornadienes in the presence of a Rh(III) catalyst, providing pharmaceutically useful benzo[c]phenanthridine derivatives in good to moderate yields. Using this methodology, highly useful alkaloids such as norfagaronine, norchelerythrine, decarine, norsanguinarine, and nornitidine were prepared in a single step.

Abstract
The first electrochemical rhodium-catalyzed C-H cyclodimerization of alkynes for the direct construction of functionalized naphthalenes was reported. The practicality and synthetic value of this strategy were demonstrated by the readily accessible scale-up synthesis and transformation of the products. Detailed mechanistic studies evidenced that electricity played an important role during the electrochemical disproportionation (ECD) process to generate and maintain the catalytically active RhIV/V and RhI species, which conducted the direct C-H activation.

Abstract
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic species, transfer protons, and engage in a range of other intermolecular interactions. The use of this solvent has exponentially increased in the past decade and has become a solvent of choice in some areas, such as C-H functionalization chemistry. In this review, following a brief history of HFIP in organic synthesis and an overview of its physical properties, literature examples of organic reactions using HFIP as a solvent or an additive are presented, emphasizing the effect of solvent of each reaction.

Abstract
A benzene-free synthesis of multisubstituted catechol via an oxidative dearomatic reorganization is reported. This reaction tolerated a wide spectrum of functionalities, which could be applied in the synthesis of an electron-deficient arene-conjugated catechol that is difficult to access via biomimetic oxidative coupling. In addition, a diversification-oriented transformation that leveraged the versatile catechol afforded a series of functionality-rich products.

Abstract
A metal-free C-H [5 + 1] annulation reaction of 2-arylanilines with diazo compounds has been achieved, giving rise to two types of prevalent phenanthridines via highly selective C-C cleavage. Compared to the simple N-H insertion manipulation of diazo, this method elegantly accomplishes a tandem N-H insertion/SEAr/C-C cleavage/aromatization reaction, and the synthetic utility of this new transformation is exemplified by the succinct syntheses of trisphaeridine and bicolorine alkaloids.

Abstract
The use of pre-installed directing groups has become a popular and powerful strategy to control site selectivity in transition metal catalysed C-H functionalisation reactions. However, the necessity for directing group installation and removal reduces the efficiency of a directed C-H functionalisation method. To overcome this limitation, taking inspiration from organocatalytic methodologies, the use of transient directing groups has arisen. These methods allow for a transient ligand to be used, potentially in catalytic quantities, without the need for discrete installation or removal steps, enabling the discovery of more efficient, and mechanistically intriguing, dual catalytic methods. This review summarises recent developments in this fast moving field covering >70 new methodologies, highlighting new directing group designs and advances in mechanistic understanding. It covers progress since 2018, providing an update to our previous review of the field.

Abstract
Phenanthridine and its derivatives are important structural motifs that exist in natural products, biologically active compounds, and functional materials. Here, we report a mild, one-pot synthesis of 6-arylphenanthridine derivatives by a sequential cascade Pictet-Spengler-dehydrogenative aromatization reaction mediated by oxovanadium(V) complexes under aerobic conditions. The reaction of 2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)aniline with a range of commercially available aryl aldehydes provided the desired phenanthridine derivatives in up to 96% yield. The ability of vanadium(V) complexes to function as efficient redox and Lewis acid catalysts enables the sequential reaction to occur under mild conditions.
