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
Transition metal catalyzed C-H bond activation has become one of the most important tools for constructing new chemical bonds. Introducing directing groups to the substrates is the key to a successful reaction, these directing groups can also be further transformed in the reaction. Amidines with their unique structure and reactivity are ideal substrates for transition metal-catalyzed C-H transformations. This review describes the major advances and mechanistic investigations of the C-H activation/annulation tandem reactions of amidines until early 2024, focusing on metal-catalyzed C-H activation of amidines with unsaturated compounds, such as alkynes, ketone, vinylene carbonate, cyclopropanols and their derivatives. Meanwhile this manuscript also explores the reaction of amidines with different carbene precursors, for example diazo compounds, azide, triazoles, pyriodotriazoles, and sulfoxonium ylides as well as their own C-H bond activation/cyclization reactions. A bright outlook is provided at the end of the manuscript.

Abstract
The mechanisms and regio-, chemo-, and stereoselectivity were theoretically investigated in the Rh(III)-catalyzed [5 + 1] annulation of 2-alkenylanilides and 2-alkylphenols with allenyl acetates. Two different reactants, 2-alkenylanilides and 2-alkylphenols, were selected as model systems in the density functional theory calculations. The obtained theoretical results show that both these reactants exhibit similar steps, namely, (1) N-H/O-H deprotonation and C-H activation, (2) allenyl acetate migratory insertion, (3) β-oxygen elimination, (4) intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the nitrogen/oxygen-rhodium bond resulting in [5 + 1]-annulation, and (5) protonation with the formation of the desired product and regeneration of the Rh(III) catalyst. The theoretical evidence suggests that the selectivity is determined at the step of allenyl acetate's migratory insertion. Moreover, the regioselectivity is driven by electronic effects, while the interaction energies (C-H···π and C-H···O interactions) play a more imperative role in controlling the stereoselectivity. The obtained theoretical results not only well rationalize the experimental observations but also provide important mechanistic insights for related types of [5 + 1]-annulation reactions.

Abstract
An efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization protocol for 2-arylbenzoazoles as the directing group and sulfoxonium ylide has been developed. Gratifyingly, concomitant annulation was observed when 3-(benzo[d]azol-2-yl) phenol was used, enabling the construction of benzofuran conjugates. Notably, the utilization of water as the solvent and an energy efficient approach makes the reaction greener, contributing to overall sustainability. This protocol exhibits excellent scalability up to the gram scale with a diverse array of substitutions. Furthermore, the mechanism was examined by ESI-MS, and photophysical studies were also performed.

Abstract
We have found a chameleonic reactivity of imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides. On the one hand, imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides react with electron-deficient reagents, such as alkynyl esters, to lead to the formation of 1,2-dihydro-pyridines. The methyl group attached to the sulfur atom acts as a methylene donor. On the other hand, imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides react with pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates, which leads to the formation of functionalized pyrroles. Both transformations feature mild reaction conditions and good functional group tolerance.

Abstract
Sulfoxonium ylide chelation-assisted C-H allylation of arenes has been accomplished utilizing strained vinyl carbo/heterocycles as the allyl surrogates via sequential C-H and C-C/het bond activation. Broad substrate scope, Co-catalysis, selectivity, and late-stage drug mutation are the important practical features.

Abstract
The first use of sulfoxonium ylides for the synthesis of α-ketoamides is described via a Ru(II)-catalyzed amidation reaction with amines. The same Ru(II)-catalyzed reaction of sulfoxonium ylides with 2-phenylindoles provided indolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines instead of α-ketoamides.
