Abstract
Addition reactions of molecules with conjugated or non-conjugated multiple unsaturated C-C bonds are very attractive yet challenging due to the versatile issues of chemo-, regio-, and stereo-selectivities. Especially for the readily available conjugated allenyne compounds, the reactivities have not been explored. The first example of copper-catalyzed 2,5-hydrofunctionalization and 2,5-difunctionalization of allenynes, which provides a facile access to versatile conjugated vinylic allenes with a C-B or C-Si bond, has been developed. This mild protocol has a broad substrate scope tolerating many synthetically useful functional groups. Due to the highly functionalized nature of the products, they have been demonstrated as platform molecules for the efficient syntheses of monocyclic products including poly-substituted benzenes, bicyclic compounds, and highly functionalized allene molecules.

Abstract
A well-defined Ru(II)-PNP complex demonstrated high activity in the anti-Markovnikov hydroalkylation of nonpolarized terminal alkenes via hydrazones. Hydrazone served as a carbanion equivalent to combine with the electrophilic alkene substrate upon activation by the ruthenium catalyst, forming a new C-C bond in a concerted pathway with N2 as the only theoretical byproduct. Experimental and computational studies suggested the existence of a push-pull interaction that activated the alkene for hydrazone addition and then deduced the mechanism.

Abstract
A versatile and readily available chiral amide directing group has been developed for the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric C-H activation. Asymmetric C-H activation of the related chiral benzamides with various olefins, aldehydes and propargylic alcohols has been accomplished with high stereoselectivities, affording a series of chiral products including 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins (up to 96 % ee), isocoumarins (up to 92 % ee), phthalides (up to 99 % ee), chiral bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes (>20 : 1 dr), 4-alkylidene-3,4-dihydroisocoumarins (up to 97 % ee) and allenes (>20 : 1 dr). Importantly, our methodologies enabled concise syntheses of many biologically active compounds and natural products (e.g., Montroumarin, Cyclosporone E, Cyclosporone Q, Concentricolide, Chuangxinol, and Eleutherol).

Abstract
Direct and site-selective C-H functionalization of alkenes under environmentally benign conditions represents a useful and attractive yet challenging transformation to access value-added molecules. Herein, a unified protocol for a variety of intermolecular Heck-type functionalizations of Csp2-H bond of alkenes has been developed by thianthrenation. The reaction features metal-free and operationally simple conditions for exclusive cine-selective C-H functionalization of aliphatic and aryl alkenes to forge C-C, C-N, C-P, and C-S bonds at room temperature, providing a general protocol for intermolecular Heck-type reaction of alkenes with nucleophiles (Nu = sulfinates, cyanides, amines, amides). Alkenes undergo cine-sulfonylation, cyanation, amination to afford alkenyl sulfones, alkenyl nitriles and enamines.

Abstract
Initiated by triarylamine radical cation salt (TBPA), the direct C-H bond functionalization of α-N-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline esters was smoothly realized, giving a series of α-hydroxylated derivatives with a quaternary carbon center in good yields. Differently, in the presence of tert-butyl nitrite (TBN), the C-N single bond was cleaved to keto esters. The mechanistic study revealed that these reactions were mediated by a similar mechanism, in which the N-nitrosation might provide a driving force to the C-N bond cleavage.

Abstract
A Pd(II)-catalyzed three-component synthesis of 2,4,6-triarylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidines from β-ketodinitriles, boronic acids, and aldehydes has been developed. The participation of both nitrile (-CN) groups led to the concurrent construction of furo-pyrimidine via the formation of C-C, C═C, C-O, C-N, and C═N bonds. The compounds show excellent photoluminescence properties with absorption maxima ranging from 348 to 387 nm and emission from 468 to 533 nm. The synthetic utility of the protocol was further demonstrated through a few postsynthetic manipulations.

Abstract
An iridium-catalyzed remote site-switchable hydroarylation of alkenes was reported, delivering the products functionalized at the subterminal methylene and terminal methyl positions on an alkyl chain controlled by two different ligands, respectively, in good yields and with good to excellent site-selectivities. The catalytic system showed good functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope, including unactivated and activated alkenes. More importantly, the regioconvergent transformations of mixtures of isomeric alkenes were also successfully realized. The results of the mechanistic studies demonstrate that the reaction undergoes a chain-walking process to give an [Ar-Ir-H] complex of terminal alkene. The subsequent processes proceed through the modified Chalk-Harrod-type mechanism via the migratory insertion of terminal alkene into the Ir-C bond followed by C-H reductive elimination to afford the hydrofunctionalization products site-selectively.

Abstract
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine has attracted much interest in drug development because of its potent medicinal properties, therefore the discovery of novel methods for its synthesis and functionalization continues to be an exciting area of research. Although transition metal catalysis has fuelled the most significant developments, extremely beneficial metal-free approaches have also been identified. Even though pertinent reviews focused on imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine synthesis, properties (physicochemical and medicinal), and functionalization at the C3 position have been published, none of these reviews has focused on the outcomes obtained in the field of global ring functionalization. We wish here to describe a brief synthesis and an overview of all the functionalization reactions at each carbon atom, viz, C2, C3, C5, C6, C7 and C8 of this scaffold, divided into sections based on site-selectivity and the type of functionalization methods used.

Abstract
Pyridine is a crucial heterocyclic scaffold that is widely found in organic chemistry, medicines, natural products, and functional materials. In spite of the discovery of several methods for the synthesis of functionalized pyridines or their integration into an organic molecule, new methodologies for the direct functionalization of pyridine scaffolds have been developed during the past two decades. In addition, transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization and rare earth metal-catalyzed reactions have flourished over the past two decades in the development of functionalized organic molecules of concern. In this review, we discuss recent achievements in the transition-metal and rare earth metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of pyridine and look into the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Herein, we developed ruthenium(II)-catalyzed oxidative dehydrogenation and hydroarylation of maleimides with phthalazinones. The product selectivity is controlled by the additives, and the hydroarylated product was obtained in water, which is an important highlight of this study. Control experiments were conducted to elucidate a plausible mechanism. These experiments suggest the occurrence of an oxidative dehydrogenation pathway over E2-type elimination - the key step in producing Heck-type products.

Abstract
The iron-catalyzed coupling of alkenes and enones through allylic C(sp3)-H functionalization is reported. This redox-neutral process employs a cyclopentadienyliron(II) dicarbonyl catalyst and simple alkene substrates to generate catalytic allyliron intermediates for 1,4-addition to chalcones and other conjugated enones. The use of 2,4,6-collidine as the base and a combination of triisopropylsilyl triflate and LiNTf2 as Lewis acids was found to facilitate this transformation under mild, functional group-tolerant conditions. Both electronically unactivated alkenes as well as allylbenzene derivatives could be employed as pronucleophilic coupling partners, as could a range of enones bearing electronically varied substituents.

Abstract
Herein, we report visible-light-driven hydroacylation of unactivated alkenes. We employed benzimidazolines as new acyl donors and achieved perfect regioselectivity, high functional-group tolerance, and excellent substrate generality. We also performed mechanistic experiments to elucidate the detailed reaction mechanism. This is the first example of (1) hydroacylation of unactivated alkenes using (2) easily prepared acyl donors under (3) visible-light irradiation. Our findings offer a new strategy to synthesize a wide variety of ketones under mild conditions.

Abstract
A mild and convenient strategy has been developed for the para-selective chalcogenation of anilide scaffolds via C-H bond functionalization. This methodology employs one of the most earth-abundant and inexpensive Cu(II) catalysts and a commercially available simple aryl chalcogen source without any complex directing template, exogenous ligand, acid/base, oxidant, or other additives. The key feature of this methodology is an impressive regioselectivity along with a wide range of functional group tolerance with good to excellent yields under aerobic conditions.

C-H Bond Activation Relay (CHAR) of Proline Ester Derivatives Promoted by In Situ Triarylamine Radical Cation: Selective Synthesis of 4-Bromopyrrole Derivatives. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202203654. [PMID: 36727278 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Using the in situ generated triarylamine radical cation as an initiator, the sp3 C-H bond of proline esters was smoothly oxidized and brominated through C-H activation relay (CHAR), giving a series of 4-bromopyrroles in good yields with high regioselectivity. The mechanistic study revealed that the oxidation of the active C-H bond initiated the followed 1,5-HAT and bromination, which provides a new method to realize the functionalization of the remote C-H bond.

Mechanism and Origin of Site Selectivity and Regioselectivity of Scandium-Catalyzed Benzylic C-H Alkylation of Tertiary Anilines with Alkenes. Inorg Chem 2023; 62:979-988.

Abstract
Benzylic C(sp3)-H alkylation of tertiary anilines with alkenes by an anilido-oxazoline-ligated scandium alkyl catalyst was recently reported with C-H site selectivity and alkene-dependent regioselectivity. Revealing the mechanism and origin of selectivity is undoubtedly of great importance for understanding experimental observations and developing new reactions. Herein, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out on the model reaction of Sc-catalyzed benzylic C(sp3)-H alkylation of N,N-dimethyl-o-toluidine with allylbenzene. The reaction generally undergoes the generation of active species, alkene insertion, and protonation steps. The difference of the distortion energy of the aniline moiety in transition states, which is related to the ring size of the forming metallacycles, accounts for the site selectivity of C-H activation. Benzylic C(sp3)-H activation possessing less strained five-membered metallacycle compared to the ortho-C(sp2)-H and α-methyl C(sp3)-H activation results in benzylic C(sp3)-H alkylation observed experimentally. Both steric and electronic factors are responsible for the 1,2-insertion regioselectivity for alkyl-substituted alkenes, while electronic factors control the 2,1-insertion manner for vinylsilanes. The analysis of original alkene substrates further strengthens the understanding of the alkene-dependent regioselectivity. These results help us to obtain the mechanistic understanding and are expected to be conducive to the development of new C-H functionalization reactions.
