Abstract
A general and novel method for the radical cascade cyclization of aryl isocyanides with AIBN has been described. This strategy provides straightforward access to various 2,4-dicyanoalkylated benzoxazines in moderate to good yields under metal- and additive-free conditions. The reaction can apply to a gram scale and tolerate diverse functional groups. 2,4-Dicyanoalkylated benzoxazine derivatives feature a large Stokes shift and intramolecular charge transfer properties.

Abstract
A new practical method has been developed for the α-heteroarylation of aliphatic nitriles with heteroarenes and azobis(alkylcarbonitriles) using Cu(OAc)2 as an oxidizing agent. This method allows the easy construction of nitrile-, aryl-, and dialkyl-bearing quaternary carbon centers from readily available building blocks, without requiring prefunctionalization steps. This reaction is based on adding cyanodialkyl radicals onto heteroarenes, including benzofurans, furans, pyrroles, and indoles. The resulting α-heteroaryl nitriles are useful synthetic intermediates and pharmacophores in biologically active molecules.

Abstract
While electrochemical ortho‐selective C−H activations are well established, distal C−H activations continue to be underdeveloped. In contrast, we herein describe the electrochemical meta‐C−H functionalization. The remote C−H bromination was accomplished in an undivided cell by RuCl3⋅3 H2O with aqueous HBr. The electrohalogenation proceeded under exogenous ligand‐ and electrolyte‐free conditions. Notably, pyrazolylarenes were meta‐selectively brominated at the benzenoid moiety, rather than on the electron‐rich pyrazole ring for the first time. Mechanistic studies were suggestive of an initial ruthenacycle formation, and a subsequent ligand‐to‐ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) process to liberate the brominated product.

Abstract
AbstractSynthetic transformations of otherwise inert C–H bonds have emerged as a powerful tool for molecular modifications during the last decades, with broad applications towards pharmaceuticals, material sciences, and crop protection. Consistently, a key challenge in C–H activation chemistry is the full control of site-selectivity. In addition to substrate control through steric hindrance or kinetic acidity of C–H bonds, one important approach for the site-selective C–H transformation of arenes is the use of chelation-assistance through directing groups, therefore leading to proximity-induced ortho-C–H metalation. In contrast, more challenging remote C–H activations at the meta- or para-positions continue to be scarce. Within this review, we demonstrate the distinct character of ruthenium catalysis for remote C–H activations until March 2021, highlighting among others late-stage modifications of bio-relevant molecules. Moreover, we discuss important mechanistic insights by experiments and computation, illustrating the key importance of carboxylate-assisted C–H activation with ruthenium(II) complexes.1 Introduction2 Stoichiometric Remote C–H Functionalizations3 meta-C–H Functionalizations4 para-C–H Functionalizations5 meta-/ortho-C–H Difunctionalizations6 Conclusions

Abstract
With pyrimidine as the directing group, we achieved the meta-selective difluoromethylation of phenol derivatives using ruthenium as a catalyst. This synthetic scheme provided an efficient method for the syntheses of fluorine-containing phenol derivatives. A wide variety of phenol derivatives were well-suited, affording the corresponding products in moderate-to-good yields.
