Abstract
Herein, we present the first highly regio- and chemoselective C2 C-H acyloxylation of indole under rhodium catalysis and an N-quinolinyl auxiliary. This strategy accommodates a wide range of indoles and structurally diverse carboxylic acids with good reaction efficiencies to yield functionalized indoles. The utility of this logic was demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the functionalized 2-oxindole derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that catalyst turnover of RhIII-RhIV/V-RhII/III-RhIII might be involved in this catalytic C-H transformation.

Abstract
As a representative scaffold of alkaloids, indoles have been extensively subjected to deuteration, but the regioselective C4 labeling has not been achieved due to its low reactivity. In this work, a Pd-catalyzed deuterium labeling at the indole's C4 position has been developed under the strategy of transient directing, using D2O as a deuterium source. The substituent effect is found to be crucial in facilitating this H/D exchange process, where the reversing C-D bond formation favors an electron-enriched ligation contrary to its C-H halogenation counterpart.

Abstract
Methods for selective deuterium incorporation into drug-like molecules have become extremely valuable due to the commercial, mechanistic, and biological importance of deuterated compounds. Herein, we report a programmable labeling platform that allows access to C2, C3, or C2- and C3-deuterated indoles under mild, user-friendly conditions. The C2-deuterated indoles are accessed using a reverse hydrogen isotope exchange strategy which represents the first non-directed C2-deuteration of indoles.

Abstract
Site-predictable and chemoselective C-H bond functionalization reactions offer synthetically powerful strategies for the step-economic diversification of both feedstock and fine chemicals. Many transition-metal-catalyzed methods have emerged for the selective activation and functionalization of C-H bonds. However, challenges of regio- and chemoselectivity have emerged with application to highly complex molecules bearing significant functional group density and diversity. As molecular complexity increases within molecular structures the risks of catalyst intolerance and limited applicability grow with the number of functional groups and potentially Lewis basic heteroatoms. Given the abundance of C-H bonds within highly complex and already diversified molecules such as pharmaceuticals, natural products, and materials, design and selection of reaction conditions and tolerant catalysts has proved critical for successful direct functionalization. As such, innovations within transition-metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization for the direct formation of carbon-carbon bonds have been discovered and developed to overcome these challenges and limitations. This review highlights progress made for the direct metal-catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions including alkylation, methylation, arylation, and olefination of C-H bonds within complex targets.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysis has contributed immensely to C-C bond formation reactions over the last few decades, and alkylation is no exception. The superiority of such methodologies over traditional alkylation is evident from minimal reaction steps, shorter reaction times, and atom economy while also allowing control over regio- and stereo-selectivity. In particular, hydrocarbonation of alkenes has grabbed increased attention due its fundamental ability to effectively and selectively synthesise a wide range of industrially and pharmaceutically relevant moieties. This review attempts to provide a scientific viewpoint and a systematic analysis of the recent developments in transition-metal-catalyzed alkylation of various C-H bonds using simple and activated olefins. The key features and mechanistic studies involved in these transformations are described briefly.

Abstract
Organic compounds labeled with hydrogen isotopes play a crucial role in numerous areas, from materials science to medicinal chemistry. Indeed, while the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium gives rise to improved absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties in drugs and enables the preparation of internal standards for analytical mass spectrometry, the use of tritium-labeled compounds is a key technique all along drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. For these reasons, the interest in new methodologies for the isotopic enrichment of organic molecules and the extent of their applications are equally rising. In this regard, this Review intends to comprehensively discuss the new developments in this area over the last years (2017-2021). Notably, besides the fundamental hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reactions and the use of isotopically labeled analogues of common organic reagents, a plethora of reductive and dehalogenative deuteration techniques and other transformations with isotope incorporation are emerging and are now part of the labeling toolkit.
