<div>A nickel-catalyzed thiolation of aryl nitriles has been developed to access functionalized aryl thioethers. The ligand dcype (1,2 Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) as well as the base KOtBu (potassium tert-butoxide) are essential to achieve this transformation. This scalable and practical process involves both a C–C bond activation and a C–S bond formation. Furthermore, this reaction shows a high functional-group tolerance and enables the late-stage functionalization of important molecules.</div>

<div> <p>A facile one-pot strategy for <sup>13</sup>CN and <sup>14</sup>CN exchange with aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl nitriles using a Ni phosphine catalyst and BPh<sub>3</sub> is described. This late-stage carbon isotope exchange (CIE) strategy employs labeled Zn(CN)<sub>2</sub> to facilitate enrichment using the non-labeled parent compound as the starting material, eliminating <i>de novo</i> synthesis for precursor development. A broad substrate scope encompassing multiple pharmaceuticals is disclosed, including the preparation of [<sup>14</sup>C]<a>belzutifan</a> to illustrate the exceptional functional group tolerance and utility of this labeling approach. Preliminary experimental and computational studies suggest the Lewis acid BPh<sub>3</sub> is not critical for the oxidative addition step and instead plays a role in facilitating CN exchange on Ni. This CIE method dramatically reduces the synthetic steps and radioactive waste involved in preparation of <sup>14</sup>C labeled tracers for clinical development.</p> </div>

Complementary to C–H bond activation, C–C bond activation has emerged over the past few years as an increasingly powerful tool to access and modify complex molecules. Ketones, owing to their versatility and availability, provide a significant platform for C–C bond activating reactions. Herein, we reported a <i>β</i>-carbon elimination strategy for alkene(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(O) bonds to realize the olefination of unstrained enones via a vinyl palladium species, which delivers a series of conjugated polyene compounds. The protocol features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance and can be extended to dba (dibenzylideneacetone) substrates for olefination, alkynylation, arylation and amination, which demonstrates the generality of the approach and affords two valuable products in one pot. Furthermore, the late-stage functionalization of natural products (<i>β</i>-ionone and acetyl cedrene) and synthesis of natural products (piperine, lignarenone, novenone) highlight the potential utility of the reaction.
