Benzofuranone is a sort of important skeleton in many fields, such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, building blocks, antioxidants and dyes. Their efficient synthesis and transformations have attracted great attentions in organic synthesis. They can be synthesized by Friedel−Crafts reaction, intramolecular dehydration ring-closing reaction and transition-metal-catalyzed reaction, etc. And their direct utilization to prepare other functional molecules enhances their further application. Due to their low pKa value and easy enolization ability, the transformation of benzofuranones via C(3)-H bond functionalization is a hot issue in the last ten years. Herein, we highlight the advances on the synthesis of benzofuranones and its transformation via C-H functionalization. Some of other transformations related to benzofuranones are also referred in this review.

Anilines are a vital synthetic core of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products and building blocks. Metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization has emerged as a powerful tool to derivatize biologically relevant molecules. To this end, the derivation of anilines via catalytic C–H functionalization has been the subject of important new synthetic methodology. This review focuses on the tactics used to allow regioselective C–H functionalization of anilines.1 Introduction2 ortho-Selective C–H Functionalization2.1 Palladium2.2 Rhodium2.3 Ruthenium2.4 Nickel3 meta-Selective C–H Functionalization4 para-Selective C–H Functionalization5 Conclusion

Aromatic heterocycles are ubiquitous building blocks in bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Accordingly, the carborane-fused heterocycles would be potential candidates in drug discovery, nanomaterials, metallacarboranes, as well as photoluminescent materials. In recent years, the transition metal catalyzed B-H activation has been proved to be an effective protocol for selective functionalization of B-H bond of o-carboranes, which has been further extended for the synthesis of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via cascade B-H functionalization/annulation process. This article summarizes the recent progress in construction of polyhedral borane cluster-fused heterocycles via B-H activation.

: Recent advances in the metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of alkynes with carboxylic acids are comprehensively reviewed. Both inter- and intramolecular processes, leading respectively to enol esters and lactones, are discussed, as well as the involvement of these transformations in the synthesis of natural products and biologically active molecules, and the assembly of elaborated heterocyclic compounds though cascade processes. Literature published since 2011 is covered.
