Abstract
The late-stage fluorescent labeling of structurally complex peptides bears immense potential for molecular imaging. Herein, we report on a manganese(I)-catalyzed peptide C-H alkenylation under exceedingly mild conditions with natural fluorophores as coumarin- and chromone-derivatives. The robustness and efficiency of the manganese(I) catalysis regime was reflected by a broad functional group tolerance and low catalyst loading in a resource- and atom-economical fashion.

Abstract
The assembly of chiral molecules with multiple stereogenic elements is challenging, and, despite of indisputable advances, largely limited to toxic, cost-intensive and precious metal catalysts. In sharp contrast, we herein disclose a versatile C-H alkylation using a non-toxic, low-cost iron catalyst for the synthesis of substituted indoles with two chiral elements. The key for achieving excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity was substitution on a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene ligand providing steric hindrance and extra represented by noncovalent interaction for the concomitant generation of C-N axial chirality and C-stereogenic center. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies have unraveled the origin of the catalytic efficacy and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Catalysed C-H activation has emerged as a transformative platform for molecular synthesis and provides new opportunities in drug discovery by late-stage functionalisation (LSF) of complex molecules. Notably, small aliphatic motifs have gained significant interest in medicinal chemistry for their beneficial properties and applications as sp3-rich functional group bioisosteres. In this context, we disclose a versatile strategy with broad applicability for the ruthenium-catalysed late-stage meta-C(sp2)-H alkylation of pharmaceuticals. This general protocol leverages numerous directing groups inherently part of bioactive scaffolds to selectivity install a variety of medicinally relevant bifunctional alkyl units within drug compounds. Our strategy enables the direct modification of unprotected lead structures to quickly generate an array of pharmaceutically useful analogues without resorting to de novo syntheses. Moreover, productive late-stage modulation of key biological characteristics of drug candidates upon remote C-H alkylation proves viable, highlighting the major benefits of our approach to offer in drug development programmes.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed C-H arylation polymerization (CHAP) is an attractive tool for constructing π-conjugated polymers in a sustainable manner. However, the existing methods primarily rely on palladium catalysis, which usually entails harsh reaction conditions and branching/cross-linking. Here we report the first example of an ambient-temperature ruthenium-catalyzed C-H arylation polymerization induced by visible light irradiation. The present polymerization can produce various meta- and para-linked polymers in excellent yields with high molecular weights. The remarkable feature of our mild reaction platform is represented by high chemoselectivity, leading to polymers that are otherwise inaccessible under conventional reaction conditions at high temperatures.

Abstract
The late-stage functionalization of active pharmaceutical ingredients is a key challenge in medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, N-aryl triazoles and tetrazoles are important structural motifs with the potential to boost the activity of diverse drug molecules. Using easily accessible dibenzothiophenium salts for the ruthenium-catalyzed C-H arylation, these scaffolds were introduced into a variety of bioactive compounds. Our methodology uses cost-efficient ruthenium, KOAc as a mild base and gives access to a plethora of highly decorated triazole and tetrazole containing drug derivatives.

Abstract
The catalytic asymmetric construction of axially chiral C-N atropisomers remains a formidable challenge due to their low rotational barriers and is largely reliant on toxic, cost-intensive, and precious metal catalysts. In sharp contrast, we herein describe the first nickel-catalyzed atroposelective C-H alkylation for the construction of C-N axially chiral compounds with the aid of a chiral heteroatom-substituted secondary phosphine oxide (HASPO)-ligated Ni-Al bimetallic catalyst. A wide range of alkenes, including terminal and internal alkenes, were well compatible with the reaction, providing a variety of benzimidazole derivatives in high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 97:3 e.r.). The key to success was the identification of novel HASPOs as highly effective chiral preligands. Mechanistic studies revealed the catalyst mode of action, and in-depth data science analysis elucidated the key features of the responsible chiral preligands in controlling the enantioselectivity.

Abstract
C-oligosaccharides are found in natural products and drug molecules. Despite the considerable progress made during the last decades, modular and stereoselective synthesis of C-oligosaccharides continues to be challenging and underdeveloped compared to the synthesis technology of O-oligosaccharides. Herein, we design a distinct strategy for the stereoselective and efficient synthesis of C-oligosaccharides via palladium-catalyzed nondirected C1-H glycosylation/C2-alkenylation, cyanation, and alkynylation of 2-iodoglycals with glycosyl chloride donors while realizing the difunctionalization of 2-iodoglycals. The catalysis approach tolerates various functional groups, including derivatives of marketed drugs and natural products. Notably, the obtained C-oligosaccharides can be further transformed into various C-glycosides while fully conserving the stereochemistry. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations support oxidative addition mechanism of alkenyl-norbornyl-palladacycle (ANP) intermediate with α-mannofuranose chloride and the high stereoselectivity of glycosylation is due to steric hindrance.

Abstract
In the heart, genetic or acquired mishandling of diastolic [Ca2+] by ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) overactivity correlates with risks of arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Strategies to avoid these risks include decrease of Ca2+ release by drugs modulating RyR2 activity or increase in Ca2+ uptake by drugs modulating SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) activity. Here, we combine these strategies by developing experimental compounds that act simultaneously on both processes. Our screening efforts identified the new 1,4-benzothiazepine derivative GM1869 as a promising compound. Consequently, we comparatively studied the effects of the known RyR2 modulators Dantrolene and S36 together with GM1869 on RyR2 and SERCA2a activity in cardiomyocytes from wild type and arrhythmia-susceptible RyR2R2474S/+ mice by confocal live-cell imaging. All drugs reduced RyR2-mediated Ca2+ spark frequency but only GM1869 accelerated SERCA2a-mediated decay of Ca2+ transients in murine and human cardiomyocytes. Our data indicate that S36 and GM1869 are more suitable than dantrolene to directly modulate RyR2 activity, especially in RyR2R2474S/+ mice. Remarkably, GM1869 may represent a new dual-acting lead compound for maintenance of diastolic [Ca2+].

Abstract
Multicomponent domino reactions via electrochemical annulations have emerged as a robust strategy for the rapid assembly of heterocyclics. Herein, an electrochemical annulation via a [1 + 2 + 1 + 1] four-component domino reaction was accomplished in a user-friendly undivided cell setup to assemble valuable five-membered isoxazole motifs. Our approach is characterized by a high level functional group tolerance and operational simplicity, avoiding the tedious and time-consuming preparation of pre-functionalized substrates. Detailed mechanistic studies were conducted including isotopic labeling, kinetic studies, cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis, and intermediate characterization, providing support for a radical pathway.

Abstract
The electrochemical transition metal-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative reaction has emerged as a promising platform to achieve a sustainable and atom-economic organic synthesis that avoids hazardous oxidants and minimizes undesired byproducts and circuitous functional group operations. However, a poor mechanistic understanding still prevents the widespread adoption of this strategy. In this regard, we herein present an electrochemical palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling strategy to access biaryls in the absence of a stoichiometric chemical oxidant. The robust palladaelectrocatalysis considerably suppresses the occurrence of homocoupling and oxygenation, being compatible even with electron-deficient arenes. Late-stage functionalization and Boscalid precursor synthesis further highlighted the practical importance of our electrolysis. Remarkably, mechanistic studies including the evaluation of the reaction order of each component by variable time normalization analysis (VTNA) and initial rate analysis, H/D exchange experiment, kinetic isotope effect, and stoichiometric organometallic experiments provided strong support for the involvement of transmetalation between two organopalladium complexes in the turnover limiting step. Therefore, matching the concentrations or lifetimes of two distinct organopalladium intermediates is revealed to be a pivot to the success of electrooxidative catalysis. Moreover, the presence of cationic copper(II) seems to contribute to the stabilization of the palladium(0) catalyst instead of playing a role in the oxidation of the catalyst.

Abstract
ConspectusTo improve the resource economy of molecular syntheses, researchers have developed strategies to directly activate otherwise inert C-H bonds, thus avoiding cumbersome and costly substrate prefunctionalizations. During the past two decades, remarkable progress in coordination chemistry has set the stage for developing increasingly viable metal catalysts for C-H activations. Despite remarkable advances, C-H activations are largely dominated by precious 4d and 5d transition metal catalysts based primarily on palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium, thus decreasing the inherent sustainable nature of the C-H activation approach. Therefore, advancing catalytic reactions based on Earth-abundant and less toxic 3d transition metals, especially nontoxic and inexpensive iron, represents a desirable and attractive alternative. While research had previously focused on 8-aminoquinoline directing groups in C-H activations, we have devised easily accessible, tunable, and clickable triazoles, which feature widespread applications in bioactive compounds and drugs, among others, as peptide isosteres. Thus, in contrast to other directing groups, the triazole group is a highly desirable structural motif and functions as a bioisostere in medicine and biology, where it is exploited to mimic amide bonds.This Account summarizes the evolution of chelation-assisted iron-catalyzed C-H activations via C-H, C-H/N-H, and C-H/N-H/C-C bond cleavages, with a topical focus on the most recent contributions of our team. Thus, the triazole-enabled iron catalysis has surfaced as a transformative platform for a large variety of C-H transformations, including arylations, alkylations, alkenylations, allylations, annulations, and alkynylations, achieved through C-H activations with organometallic reagents, organohalides, alkynes, alkenes, allenes, and bicyclopropylidenes among others. Consequently, we developed widely applicable methods for the versatile preparation of decorated arenes and heteroarenes, providing access to benzamides, isoquinolones, pyrrolones, pyridones, phenones, indoles, and isoindolinones, among others. Most of these reactions employed 1,2-dichloroisobutane (DCIB) as an oxidant. Notably, chemical-oxidant-free strategies were also developed, with the major breakthroughs being the use of internal oxidants in oxidative annulations, the use of resource-economic electrocatalysis, and the development of well-defined iron(0)-mediated catalysis. In addition, a highly enantioselective inner-sphere C-H alkylation of (aza)indoles was developed by designing novel remotely decorated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with dispersion energy donors. In addition, detailed mechanistic experiments including kinetic analyses, intermediate isolation, Mößbauer spectroscopy, and computation provided strong support for the mode of catalysis operation, enabling unprecedented C-H activations. Thereby, low-valent iron catalysts paved the way toward weakly coordinating ketones and enantioselective iron-catalyzed C-H activations through organometallic intermediates.

Abstract
This report describes the use of a simple Pd/NBE catalytic system to achieve ortho C-H oxylation and phosphonylation and other functionalizations of aryl iodide through templated conversion reactions. Dimethylamine is introduced in the ortho-site of aryl iodide through C-H amination, and aryl dimethylamine is quickly converted to methyl quaternary ammonium salt precipitation. Methyl quaternary ammonium salt avoids Hofmann elimination in subsequent functionalization. This method solves various ortho functionalization reactions of aryl iodide that have not been achieved for a long time in the field of Pd/NBE chemistry indirectly.

Abstract
Introducing amide functional groups under mild conditions has growing importance owing to the prevalence of such moiety in biologically active molecules. Herein, we disclose a mild protocol for the directed ruthenium-catalyzed C-H aminocarbonylation with isocyanates as the amidating agents developed through high-throughput experimentation (HTE). The redox-neutral and base-free reaction is guided by weakly Lewis basic functional groups, including anilides, lactams and carbamates to access anthranilamide derivatives. The synthetic utility of this transformation is reflected by large-scale synthesis and late-stage functionalization.

Abstract
During the last few years, photoelectrocatalysis has evolved as an increasingly viable tool for molecular synthesis. Despite several recent reports on the undirected C-H functionalization of arenes, thus far, a detailed comparison of different catalysts is still missing. To address this, more than a dozen different mediators were employed in the trifluoromethylation of (hetero-)arenes to compare them in their efficacies.

Abstract
Late-stage functionalization (LSF) constitutes a powerful strategy for the assembly or diversification of novel molecular entities with improved physicochemical or biological activities. LSF can thus greatly accelerate the development of medicinally relevant compounds, crop protecting agents, and functional materials. Electrochemical molecular synthesis has emerged as an environmentally friendly platform for the transformation of organic compounds. Over the past decade, electrochemical late-stage functionalization (eLSF) has gained major momentum, which is summarized herein up to February 2023.

Abstract
Transition-metal catalyzed C-H activation reactions have been proven to be useful methodologies for the assembly of synthetically meaningful molecules. This approach bears intrinsic peculiarities that are important to be studied and comprehended in order to achieve its best performance. One example is the use of additives for the in situ generation of catalytically active species. This strategy varies according to the type of additive and the nature of the pre-catalyst that is being used. Thus, silver(I)-salts have proven to play an important role, due to the resulting high reactivity derived from the pre-catalysts of the main transition metals used so far. While being powerful and versatile, the use of silver-based additives can raise concerns, since superstoichiometric amounts of silver(I)-salts are typically required. Therefore, it is crucial to first understand the role of silver(I) salts as additives, in order to wisely overcome this barrier and shift towards silver-free systems.

Abstract
While electrocatalyzed alkyne annulations of arenes represent a powerful strategy for the assembly of heteroaromatic motives, electrochemical C(sp2)-H activations of alkenes remain scarce. Herein, a strategy for the rhodaelectro-catalyzed functionalization of enamides is presented for the efficient construction of pyrroles using electricity as a sustainable oxidant. Moreover, the tuning of the solvent system allowed a fascinating switch in chemoselectivity, which is not possible with traditionally used chemical oxidants, giving rise to lactone architectures. The rhoda-electrocatalysis features a broad scope as well as high regio- and chemoselectivities.

Abstract
The chemical up-cycling of polymers into value-added materials offers a unique opportunity to place plastic waste in a new value chain towards a circular economy. Herein, we report the selective up-cycling of polystyrenes and polyolefins to C(sp3)-H azidated materials under electrocatalytic conditions. The functionalized polymers were obtained with high retention of mass average molecular mass and high functionalization through chemo-selective mangana-electrocatalysis. Our strategy proved to be broadly applicable to a variety of homo- and copolymers. Polyethylene, polypropylene as well as post-consumer polystyrene materials were functionalized by this approach, thereby avoiding the use of hypervalent-iodine reagents in stoichiometric quantities by means of electrocatalysis. This study, hence, represents a chemical oxidant-free polymer functionalization by electro-oxidation. The electrocatalysis proved to be scalable, which highlights its unique feature for a green hydrogen economy by means of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Abstract
The 3d metallaelectro-catalyzed C-H activation has been identified as an increasingly viable strategy to access valuable organic molecules in a resource-economic fashion under exceedingly mild reaction conditions. However, the development of enantioselective 3d metallaelectro-catalyzed C-H activation is very challenging and in its infancy. Here, we disclose the merger of cobaltaelectro-catalyzed C-H activation with asymmetric catalysis for the highly enantioselective annulation of allenes. A broad range of C-N axially chiral and P-stereogenic compounds were thereby obtained in good yields of up to 98% with high enantioselectivities of up to >99% ee. The practicality of this approach was demonstrated by the diversification of complex bioactive compounds and drug molecules as well as decagram scale enantioselective electrocatalysis in continuous flow.

Abstract
Electrooxidation has emerged as an increasingly viable platform in molecular syntheses that can avoid stoichiometric chemical redox agents. Despite major progress in electrochemical C-H activations, these arene functionalizations generally require directing groups to enable the C-H activation. The installation and removal of these directing groups call for additional synthesis steps, which jeopardizes the inherent efficacy of the electrochemical C-H activation approach, leading to undesired waste with reduced step and atom economy. In sharp contrast, herein we present palladium-electrochemical C-H olefinations of simple arenes devoid of exogenous directing groups. The robust electrocatalysis protocol proved amenable to a wide range of both electron-rich and electron-deficient arenes under exceedingly mild reaction conditions, avoiding chemical oxidants. This study points to an interesting approach of two electrochemical transformations for the success of outstanding levels of position-selectivities in direct olefinations of electron-rich anisoles. A physical organic parameter-based machine learning model was developed to predict position-selectivity in electrochemical C-H olefinations. Furthermore, late-stage functionalizations set the stage for the direct C-H olefinations of structurally complex pharmaceutically relevant compounds, thereby avoiding protection and directing group manipulations.

Abstract
Challenging enantio- and diastereoselective cobalt-catalyzed C-H alkylation has been realized by an innovative data-driven knowledge transfer strategy. Harnessing the statistics of a related transformation as the knowledge source, the designed machine learning (ML) model took advantage of delta learning and enabled accurate and extrapolative enantioselectivity predictions. Powered by the knowledge transfer model, the virtual screening of a broad scope of 360 chiral carboxylic acids led to the discovery of a new catalyst featuring an intriguing furyl moiety. Further experiments verified that the predicted chiral carboxylic acid can achieve excellent stereochemical control for the target C-H alkylation, which supported the expedient synthesis for a large library of substituted indoles with C-central and C-N axial chirality. The reported machine learning approach provides a powerful data engine to accelerate the discovery of molecular catalysis by harnessing the hidden value of the available structure-performance statistics.

Abstract
Late-stage diversification of structurally complex amino acids and peptides provides tremendous potential for drug discovery and molecular imaging. Specifically, labeling peptides with fluorescent tags is one of the most important methods for visualizing their mode of operation. Despite major recent advances in the field, direct molecular peptide labeling by C-H activation is largely limited to dyes with relatively short emission wavelengths, leading to high background signals and poor signal-to-noise ratios. In sharp contrast, here we report on the fluorescent labeling of peptides catalyzed by non-toxic manganese(i) via C(sp2)-H alkenylation in chemo- and site-selective manners, providing modular access to novel near-infrared (NIR) nitrobenzodiazole-based peptide fluorogenic probes.

Abstract
Twofold distal C-H functionalization was accomplished by difunctionalization of nonactivated alkenes to provide rapid access to multifunctionalized molecules. We, hence, report the multicomponent ruthenium-catalyzed remote 1,n-difunctionalization (n = 6,7) of nonactivated alkenes with fluoroalkyl halides and heteroarenes in a modular manner. The meta-C(sp2)-H/C-6(sp3)-H distal functionalization featured mild conditions, unique selectivity, and broad substrate scope with a domino process for twofold remote C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H activation of the sequential formation of three different carbon-centered radicals. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on detailed experimental and computational studies.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have surfaced as increasingly viable components in optoelectronics and material sciences. The development of highly efficient and atom-economic tools to prepare PAHs under exceedingly mild conditions constitutes a long-term goal. Traditional syntheses of PAHs have largely relied on multistep approaches or the conventional Scholl reaction. However, Scholl reactions are largely inefficient with electron-deficient substrates, require stoichiometric chemical oxidants, and typically occur in the presence of strong acid. In sharp contrast, electrochemistry has gained considerable momentum during the past decade as an alternative for the facile and straightforward PAHs assembly, generally via electro-oxidative dehydrogenative annulation, releasing molecular hydrogen as the sole stoichiometric byproduct by the hydrogen evolution reaction. This review provides an overview on the recent and significant advances in the field of electrochemical syntheses of various PAHs until January 2023.

Abstract
Enantioselective redox transformations typically rely on costly transition metals as catalysts and often stoichiometric amounts of chemical redox agents as well. Electrocatalysis represents a more sustainable alternative, in particular through the use of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in place of a chemical oxidant. In this work, we describe strategies for HER-coupled enantioselective aryl carbon-hydrogen bond (C-H) activation reactions using cobalt in place of a precious metal catalyst for the asymmetric oxidation. Thus, highly enantioselective carbon-hydrogen and nitrogen-hydrogen (C-H and N-H) annulations of carboxylic amides were achieved, which gave access to point and axially chiral compounds. Furthermore, the cobalt-mediated electrocatalysis enabled the preparation of various phosphorus (P)-stereogenic compounds by selective desymmetrization through dehydrogenative C-H activation reactions.

Abstract
Radical additions onto olefines have surfaced as an increasingly powerful strategy for the synthesis of difunctionalized scaffolds. However, despite of major advances, known approaches continue to be largely limited to two manifolds, namely 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes and remote difunctionalization via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Herein, we describe a mechanistically distinct approach by photo-induced carbon-carbon (C-C) activation/ring-opening to access γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes from methylenecyclobutanols and sulfonyl chlorides by strain release. Remarkably, the sulfonyl motif on the products was easily removed by another photocatalytic process, which enabled the concise assembly of the natural product alatanone A. The synthetic utility of our approach was reflected by versatile functional group tolerance, ample substrate scope, and scalability. The photocatalysis represents a conceptually distinct alternative to existing approaches for remote 1,4-diversifications, with a double bond remaining in the thus obtained products.

Abstract
Ruthenium-catalyzed σ-bond activation-assisted meta-C-H functionalization has emerged as a useful tool to forge distal C-C bonds. However, given the limited number of mechanistic studies, a clear understanding of the origin of the site-selectivity and the complete reaction pattern is not available. Here, we present systematic computational studies on ruthenium-catalyzed C-H functionalization with primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl bromides and aryl bromides. The C-H scission and the C-C formation were carefully examined. Monocyclometalated ruthenium(II) complexes were identified as the active species, which then underwent inner-sphere single electron transfer (ISET) to activate the organic bromides. The site-selectivity results from the competition between the close-shell reductive elimination and the open-shell radical coupling. Based on this mechanistic understanding, a multilinear regression model was built to predict the site-selectivity, which was further validated by experiments.

Abstract
An electrochemical strategy for the dual functionalizations of unactivated alkenes through an intramolecular migration process was realized in the absence of sacrificial chemical oxidants and noble-metal catalysts under mild reaction conditions. The electrochemistry enabled a (hetero)aryl migration, while providing access to alkenyl/alkynyl-migration products. Thus, electricity was employed for the formation of functionalized fluoroalkyl radicals through activation of C-H/C-Br bonds from fluorinated esters via a distal radical migration process. Thereby, we obtained a variety of di and mono-fluorinated alkyl products with good functional group tolerance as well as chemo, and regioselectivities. Likewise, defluorinative allylation of α-carbonyl alkyl bromides proved viable. The reaction mechanism was established by experiments and computation.

Abstract
Glycosyl anomeric radical addition reactions have been well-explored and proved efficient for the C-alkyl glycosides synthesis, but multicomponent Domino transformations for the rapid and controllable construction of structurally diversified C-alkyl glycosides in a single step are still rare. In contrast, we, herein, report a ruthenium(II)-catalyzed Domino meta-C-H ethyl glycosylation, enabling the construction of challenging meta-C-alkyl glycosides. Our ruthenium(II) catalysis was reflected by the mild reaction condition, exclusive meta-site selectivity and high levels of anomeric selectivity. In addition, the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed Domino meta-C-H glycosylation allowed for the synthesis of versatile 1,2-trans-C-alkyl glycosides with commercially available vinyl arenes, acrylates and easily accessible glycosyl bromides.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal late-stage diversification of structurally complex peptides bears enormous potential for drug discovery and molecular imaging, among other applications. Herein, we report on a palladium-catalyzed C-H arylation of tryptophan-containing peptides with readily accessible and modular arylthianthrenium salts. Under exceedingly mild reaction conditions, the late-stage diversification of structurally complex peptides was accomplished. The tunability and ease of preparation of arylthianthrenium salts allowed the expedient stitching of tryptophan-containing peptides with drug, natural product, and peptidic scaffolds by forging sterically congested biaryl linkages. The robustness of the palladium catalysis regime was reflected by the full tolerance of a plethora of sensitive and coordinating functional groups. Hence, our manifold enabled efficient access to highly decorated, labelled, conjugated, and ligated linear and cyclic peptides.

Abstract
Iron-catalysed C-H alkylations with alkenes were achieved on benzamides by N-triazole assistance. A notable switch of the regioselectivity from linear to branched was observed depending on the nature of the olefin employed. The approach allowed for the synthesis of a family of decorated benzamides with ample scope and high levels of chemo-, regio- and site-selectivity.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a boom of machine learning (ML) applications in chemistry, which reveals the potential of data-driven prediction of synthesis performance. Digitalization and ML modelling are the key strategies to fully exploit the unique potential within the synergistic interplay between experimental data and the robust prediction of performance and selectivity. A series of exciting studies have demonstrated the importance of chemical knowledge implementation in ML, which improves the model's capability for making predictions that are challenging and often go beyond the abilities of human beings. This Minireview summarizes the cutting-edge embedding techniques and model designs in synthetic performance prediction, elaborating how chemical knowledge can be incorporated into machine learning until June 2022. By merging organic synthesis tactics and chemical informatics, we hope this Review can provide a guide map and intrigue chemists to revisit the digitalization and computerization of organic chemistry principles.

Abstract
AbstractDuring the past few years, electrochemical oxidative reactions through radical intermediates have emerged as an environmentally-benign, powerful platform for the facile formation of C–E (E = C, N, S, Se, O and Hal) bonds through single-electron-transfer (SET) processes at the electrodes. Functionalized unsaturated molecules and unusual structural motifs can, for instance, be directly constructed under exceedingly mild reaction conditions through initial radical attack onto alkynes. This minireview highlights the recent advances in electrooxidation in radical reactions until June 2022, with a particular focus on radical additions onto alkynes.

Abstract
Enantioselective C-H activation has surfaced as a transformative toolbox for the efficient assembly of chiral molecules. However, despite of major advances in rhodium and palladium catalysis, ruthenium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation has thus far largely proven elusive. In contrast, we herein report on a ruthenium(II)-catalyzed highly regio-, diastereo- and enantioselective C-H alkylation. The key to success was represented by the identification of novel C2-symmetric chiral imidazolidine carboxylic acids (CICAs), which are easily accessible in a one-pot fashion, as highly effective chiral ligands. This ruthenium/CICA system enabled the efficient installation of central and axial chirality, and featured excellent branched to linear ratios with generally >20 : 1 dr and up to 98 : 2 er. Mechanistic studies by experiment and computation were carried out to understand the catalyst mode of action.

Abstract
Electrochemical fluorinations of C(sp3 )-H bonds with a nucleophilic fluoride source have been accomplished in a chemo- and site-selective fashion, avoiding the use of electrophilic F+ sources and stoichiometric oxidants. The introduced metal-free strategy exhibits high functional group tolerance, setting the stage for late-stage fluorinations of biorelevant motifs. The synthetic utility of the C(sp3 )-H fluorination was reflected by subsequent one-pot arylation of the generated benzylic fluorides.

Abstract
The prevalence of C-aryl glycosides in biologically active natural products and approved drugs has long motivated the development of efficient strategies for their selective synthesis. Cross-couplings have been frequently used, but largely relied on palladium catalyst with prefunctionalized substrates, while ruthenium-catalyzed C-aryl glycoside preparation has thus far proven elusive. Herein, we disclose a versatile ruthenium(II)-catalyzed meta-C-H glycosylation to access meta-C-aryl glycosides from readily available glycosyl halide donors. The robustness of the ruthenium catalysis was reflected by mild reaction conditions, outstanding levels of anomeric selectivity and exclusive meta-site-selectivity.

Abstract
The continuous, worldwide spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) endanger the World Health Organization’s (WHO) goal to end the global TB pandemic by the year 2035. During the past 50 years, very few new drugs have been approved by medical agencies to treat drug-resistant TB. Therefore, the development of novel antimycobacterial drug candidates to combat the threat of drug-resistant TB is urgent. In this work, we developed and optimized a total synthesis of the antimycobacterial natural flavonoid chlorflavonin by selective ruthenium(II)-catalyzed ortho-C(sp2)-H-hydroxylation of a substituted 3′-methoxyflavonoid skeleton. We extended our methodology to synthesize a small compound library of 14 structural analogs. The new analogs were tested for their antimycobacterial in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and their cytotoxicity against various human cell lines. The most promising new analog bromflavonin exhibited improved antimycobacterial in vitro activity against the virulent H37Rv strain of Mtb (Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC90) = 0.78 μm). In addition, we determined the chemical and metabolic stability as well as the pKa values of chlorflavonin and bromflavonin. Furthermore, we established a quantitative structure–activity relationship model using a thermodynamic integration approach. Our computations may be used for suggesting further structural changes to develop improved derivatives.

Abstract
Distal C(sp2 )-H and C(sp3 )-H functionalizations have recently emerged as step-economical tools for molecular synthesis. However, while the C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) construction is of fundamental importance, its formation through double remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H activation has proven elusive. By merging the ruthenium-catalyzed meta-C(sp2 )-H functionalization with an aliphatic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process, we, herein, describe the catalyzed twofold remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H functionalizations via photo-induced ruthenium-mediated radical relay. Thus, meta-C(sp2 )-H arene bonds and remote C(sp3 )-H alkane bonds were activated by a single catalyst in a single operation. This process was accomplished at room temperature by visible light-notably without exogenous photocatalysts. Experimental and computational theory studies uncovered a manifold comprising ortho-C-H activation, single-electron-transfer (SET), 1,n-HAT (n=5-7) and σ-activation by means of a single ruthenium(II) catalyst.
