The (HSA)Pd(OAc)2 complex (where HSA = 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-sulfonic acid) is a highly active catalyst for the oxidation of a range of secondary alcohols in 4–6 hours at a low loading of 0.5 mol%. The crystal structure has been obtained and the influence of reaction conditions on catalyst degradation was also examined.

Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide with methanol as an additive was found to be a highly active catalyst for the cleavage of 4-aryl-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ols. The reaction was performed at 55–75 °C and gave terminal arylacetylenes in good to excellent yields within several minutes. Compared with the usual reaction conditions (normally >110 °C, several hours), this novel catalyst system can dramatically decrease the reaction time under much milder conditions.

Thanks to a highly active catalyst, the scope of the (cyclopentadienone)iron complex-promoted ‘hydrogen-borrowing’ (HB) amination has been expanded to secondary alcohols, which had previously been reported to react only in the presence of large amounts of co-catalysts. A range of cyclic and acyclic secondary alcohols were reacted with aromatic and aliphatic amines giving fair to excellent yields of the substitution products. The catalyst was also able to promote the cyclization of diols bearing a secondary alcohol group with primary amines to generate saturated N-heterocycles.

Herein we report the 3,5bistrifluoromethylphenyl urea-catalyzed functionalization of unactivated C–H bonds. In this system, the urea catalyst mediates the formation of high-energy vinyl carbocations that undergo facile C–H insertion and Friedel–Crafts reactions. We introduce a new paradigm for these privileged scaffolds where the combination of hydrogen bonding motifs and strong bases affords highly active Lewis acid catalysts capable of ionizing strong C–O bonds. Despite the highly Lewis acidic nature of these catalysts that enables triflate abstraction from sp<sup>2</sup> carbons, these newly found reaction conditions allow for the formation of heterocycles and tolerate highly Lewis basic heteroaromatic substrates. This strategy showcases the potential utility of dicoordinated vinyl carbocations in organic synthesis.<br>
