AbstractCatalytic anti-Markovnikov (AM) oxidation of terminal alkenes can provide terminally oxyfunctionalized organic compounds. This short review mainly summarizes our recent progress on the Pd-catalyzed AM oxidations of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkenes to give terminal acetals (oxidative acetalization) and aldehydes (Wacker-type oxidation), along with related reports. These reactions demonstrate the efficacy of the PdCl2(MeCN)2/CuCl/electron-deficient cyclic alkenes/O2 catalytic system. Notably, electron-deficient cyclic alkenes such as p-benzoquinones (BQs) and maleimides are key additives that facilitate nucleophilic attack of oxygen nucleophiles on coordinated terminal alkenes and enhance the AM selectivity. BQs also function to oxidize Pd(0) depending on the reaction conditions. Several other factors that improve the AM selectivity, such as the steric demand of the nucleo­philes, slow substrate addition, and halogen-directing groups, are also discussed.1 Introduction2 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aromatic Alkenes to Terminal Acetals­3 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aromatic Alkenes to Aldehydes4 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes to Terminal Acetals­5 Anti-Markovnikov Oxidation of Aliphatic Alkenes to Aldehydes6 Conclusion

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the development of novel synthetic methods and new reagents for the synthesis of difluoromethylated compounds. Dozens of studies have been published on this topic each year over the past few years. These studies are focused on direct and indirect difluoromethylation of various organic functionalities via nucleophilic-, electrophilic-, radical-, carbene- or metal-mediated mechanisms. The present short review covers the very recent studies, published between mid-2017 and early 2019, on the synthesis of compounds containing a CF2H group. A brief summary of the physicochemical properties and medicinal applications of difluoromethylated compounds is also included.1 Introduction2 Nucleophilic Difluoromethylation2.1 Metal-Mediated Nucleophilic Difluoromethylation2.2 Non-Metal Difluoromethyl Nucleophiles3 Radical Difluoromethylation3.1 Metal-Induced Radical Difluoromethylation3.2 Non-Metal-Induced Radical Difluoromethylation3.3 Electrochemically Induced Radical Difluoromethylation4 Carbene-Based Difluoromethylation4.1 Metal-Induced Carbene Difluoromethylation4.2 Non-Metal-Induced Difluoromethyl Carbenes5 Cross-Coupling Difluoromethylation5.1 Palladium-Catalyzed Difluoromethylation5.2 Nickel-Catalyzed Difluoromethylation5.3 Copper-Mediated Difluoromethylation5.4 Iron-Catalyzed Difluoromethylation5.5 Gold-Mediated Difluoromethylation6 Electrophilic Difluoromethylation7 Other Examples7.1 A Difluoromethyl-Borane Complex7.2 A Tellurium Difluoromethyl Derivative8 Summary

Palladium is probably the most versatile and exploited transition metal in catalysis due to its capability to promote a myriad of organic transformations both at laboratory and industrial scales (alkylation, arylation, cyclization, hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerization, cross-coupling, cascade, radical reactions, etc [...]

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are nowadays essential in organic synthesis for the construction of C–C, C–N, C–O, and other C-heteroatom bonds. The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki was awarded for the discovery of these reactions. These great advances for organic chemists stimulated intense research efforts worldwide dedicated to studying these reactions. Among them, the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling (SMC) reaction, which usually involves an organoboron reagent and an organic halide or triflate in the presence of a base and a palladium catalyst, has become, in the last few decades, one of the most popular tools for the creation of C–C bonds. In this review, we present recent progress concerning the SMC reaction with the original use of nitroarenes as electrophilic coupling partners reacting with the organoboron reagent.

AbstractTransition-metal-catalyzed C–H bond addition to nitriles has emerged as a powerful synthetic approach for the construction of C–C bonds in organic synthesis. Due to the merits of atom- and step-economy, as well the easy availability of the starting materials, these transformations not only deliver acyclic aryl ketone products with nitriles­ as C-building blocks, but can also be utilized for the highly efficient­ assembly of azaheterocyclic skeletons using nitriles as C–N building blocks. This short review summarizes recent progress on transition-metal-catalyzed C–C bond-forming reactions based on C(sp2)–H and C(sp3)–H additions to nitriles.1 Introduction2 Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Addition to Nitriles2.1 Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Addition to Nitriles for the Preparation of Ketone (Imine) Products2.2 Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Addition to Nitriles for the Preparation of Azaheterocycles2.3 Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Addition to Nitriles/1,2-Rearangement3 Other Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Additions to Nitriles4 Summary and Outlook

This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art procedures in terms of the preparation of N-arylindoles. After a short introduction, the transition-metal-free procedures available for the N-arylation of indoles are briefly discussed. Then, the nickel-catalyzed and palladium-catalyzed N-arylation of indoles are both discussed. In the next section, copper-catalyzed procedures for the N-arylation of indoles are described. The final section focuses on recent findings in the field of biologically active N-arylindoles.
