AbstractFew methods have been reported for intermolecular arylamination of alkenes, which could provide direct access to important arylethylamine scaffolds. Herein, we report an intermolecular syn-1,2-arylamination of unactivated alkenes with arylboronic acids and O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophiles with Ni(II) catalyst. The cleavable bidentate picolinamide directing group facilitates formation of stabilized 4-, 5- or 6-membered nickelacycles and enables the difunctionalization of diverse alkenyl amines with high levels of regio-, chemo- and diastereocontrol. This general and practical protocol is compatible with broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. The utility of this method is further demonstrated by the site-selective modification of pharmaceutical agents.

Abstract An intermolecular syn-1,2-arylamination of unactivated alkenes with arylboronic acids and O-benzoylhydroxylamine electrophiles has been developed with Ni(II) catalyst. The cleavable bidentate picolinamide directing group facilitated formation of stabilized 4-, 5- or 6-membered nickelacycles and enabled the difunctionalization of diverse alkenyl amines with high levels of regio-, chemo- and diastereocontrol. This general and practical protocol was compatible with broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. The utility of this method was further demonstrated by the site-selective late-stage modification of pharmaceutical agents.

The vicinal fluorofunctionalization of alkenes represents an expedient strategy for converting feedstock olefins into valuable fluorinated molecules and as such has garnered significant attention from the synthetic community; however, current methods remain limited in terms of scope and selectivity. Here we report the site-selective palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of alkenylbenzaldehydes, arylboronic acids, and <i>N</i>-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate facilitated by a transient directing group. The synthetically enabling methodology constructs vicinal stereocenters with excellent regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivities, forging products that map onto bioactive compounds.

The significance of site selective functionalization stands upon the superior selectivity, easy synthesis and diverse product utility. In this work we demonstrate the <i>para</i>-selective introduction of versatile nitrile moiety, enabled by detachable and reusable H-bonded auxiliary. The methodology holds its efficiency irrespective of substrate electronic bias. The conspicuous shift in the step energetics was probed by both experimental and computational mechanistic tools heralds the inception of <i>para</i>-deuteration. The synthetic impact of the methodology was highlighted with reusability of directing group and post synthetic modifications

<p>Site-selective functionalizations of C–H bonds will ultimately afford chemists transformative tools for editing and constructing complex molecular architectures<sup>1-4</sup>. Towards this goal, developing strategies to activate C–H bonds that are distal from a functional group is essential<sup>4-6</sup>. In this context, distinguishing remote C–H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms is an extraordinary challenge due to the lack of electronic or steric bias between the two positions. Herein, we report the design of a catalytic system leveraging a remote directing template and a transient norbornene mediator to selectively activate a previously inaccessible remote C–H bond that is one bond further away. The generality of this approach has been demonstrated with a range of heterocycles, including a complex anti-leukemia agent, and hydrocinnamic acid substrates.</p>

AbstractDespite the widespread applications of 2-(hetero)aryl N-heteroarenes in numerous fields of science and technology, universal access to such compounds is hampered due to the lack of a general method for their synthesis. Herein, by a H2O-mediated H2-evolution cross-coupling strategy, we report an iridium(III)-catalyzed facile method to direct α-arylation of N-heteroarenes with both aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids, proceeding with broad substrate scope and excellent functional compatibility, oxidant and reductant-free conditions, operational simplicity, easy scalability, and no need for prefunctionalization of N-heteroarenes. This method is applicable for structural modification of biomedical molecules, and offers a practical route for direct access to 2-(hetero)aryl N-heteroarenes, a class of potential cyclometalated C^N ligands and N^N bidentate ligands that are difficult to prepare with the existing α-C-H arylation methods, thus filling an important gap in the capabilities of synthetic organic chemistry.

We report a visible light-assisted one-pot method for the synthesis of polynitrophenols through radical tandem hydroxylation and nitration of arylboronic acids by utilizing copper(II) nitrate tri­hydrate as the nitro source. This method features mild conditions, a simple procedure, and good functional group tolerance. Compared to conventional methods, this work provides a straightforward approach for the polynitration of aromatic compounds.
