An iridium-catalyzed reductive three-component coupling reaction for the synthesis of medicinally relevant α-amino 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from abundant tertiary amides or lactams, carboxylic acids, and (N-isocyanimino) triphenylphosphorane, is described. Proceeding under mild conditions using (<1 mol%) Vaska’s complex (IrCl(CO)(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) and tetramethyldisiloxane to access the key reactive iminium ion intermediates, a broad range of structurally complex α-amino 1,3,4-oxadiazole architectures were efficiently accessed from diverse carboxylic acid feedstock coupling partners. Extension to α-amino heterodiazole synthesis was readily achieved by exchanging the carboxylic acid coupling partner for C-, S-, or N-centered Brønsted acids, and provided rapid and modular access to these desirable, yet difficult-to-access, heterocycles. Furthermore, the high chemoselectivity of the catalytic reductive activation step allowed the late-stage functionalization of 10 drug molecules, including the synthesis of novel heterodiazole-fused drug-drug conjugates.<br>

We report a three-component olefin reductive dicarbofunctionalization for constructing densely functionalized alkylborates, specifically, nickel-catalyzed reductive dialkylation and alkylarylation of vinyl boronates with a variety of alkyl bromides and aryl iodides. This reaction exhibits good coupling efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility, providing convenient access to the late-stage modification of complex natural products and drug molecules. Combined with versatile alkylborate transformations, this reaction could also find applications in the modular and convergent synthesis of complex, densely functionalized compounds.

<div>The selective manipulation of complex amine architectures has received great attention in recent years with widespread applications including inter alia drug discovery. Inspired by an enzymatic copper amine oxidase process, a synthetic quinone co-factor mediated general platform for the construction of α-fully substituted primary amines from abundant α-branched primary amine starting materials is described. This procedure pivots on the efficient generation of reactive ketimine intermediates in situ which are primed to react with carbon-centered nucleophiles such as organomagnesium and organolithium reagents, and TMSCN. Extension to reverse polarity photoredox catalysis enables reactivity with electrophiles. Subsequent oxidative hydrolysis releases the unprotected α-fully substituted primary amine product. This efficient, broadly applicable and scaleable amine-to-amine synthetic platform was successfully applied to library and API synthesis and in the late stage functionalization of drug molecules.</div>

<i>A quinone-mediated general platform for the construction of primary α-tertiary amines from abundant primary α-branched amine starting materials is described. This procedure pivots on the efficient in situ generation of reactive ketimine intermediates and subsequent reaction with carbon-centered nucleophiles such as organomagnesium and organolithium reagents, and TMSCN, creating quaternary centers. Furthermore, extension to reverse polarity photoredox catalysis enables reactivity with electrophiles.

<p><b>The transition metal-catalyzed Catellani reaction of aryl halides has drawn significant attentions as an efficient and practical tool for the synthesis of substituted arenes. We describe herein the palladium-catalyzed, norbornene (NBE)-mediated synthesis of polysubstituted arenes from aromatic acids via decarbonylative Catellani reaction. A variety of alkenyl, alkyl, aryl and sulfur moieties could be conveniently introduced into the<i> ipso</i>-positions of aromatic thioesters. By merging carboxyl-directed C−H functionalization and the classical Catellani reactions, our protocol allowed the construction of 1,2,3-trisubstituted and 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted arenes from simple aromatic acids. Furthermore, the late-stage functionalization of a series of drug molecules highlights the potential utility of the reaction.</b></p>
