Metal-catalyzed reductive coupling processes have emerged as a powerful methodology for the introduction of molecular complexity from simple starting materials. These methods allow for an orthogonal approach to that of redox-neutral strategies for the formation of C–C bonds by enabling cross-coupling of starting materials not applicable to redox-neutral chemistry. This short review summarizes the most recent developments in the area of metal-catalyzed reductive coupling utilizing catalyst turnover by a stoichiometric reductant that becomes incorporated in the final product.1 Introduction2 Ni Catalysis3 Cu Catalysis4 Ru, Rh, and Ir Catalysis4.1 Alkenes4.2 1,3-Dienes4.3 Allenes4.4 Alkynes4.5 Enynes5 Fe, Co, and Mn Catalysis6 Conclusion and Outlook

Considering the important applications of nitrogen-containing compounds in agrochemical materials and biomolecular drug molecules, research on methods for the construction of C–N bonds quickly and efficiently has become an important topic in synthetic chemistry. Carboxylic acids are inexpensive, stable, and non-toxic substances that are widely present in Nature, which makes them appealing as potential coupling partners for C(sp3)–N bond-forming reactions. Moreover, compared with the well-established transition-metal-catalyzed protocols, the rapid development of photoredox catalysis and electrochemical methods in recent years provides options for chemists to design new synthetic routes. In this short review, we concentrate on the decarboxylative C(sp3)–N coupling reactions mediated by visible light or electricity, with special attention on mechanistic insights.1 Introduction2 Photoredox-Mediated Decarboxylative C(sp3)–N Bond Formation2.1 Intramolecular Decarboxylation2.2 Intermolecular Decarboxylation3 Electrochemistry-Induced Decarboxylative C(sp3)–N Bond Formation3.1 Intramolecular Decarboxylation3.2 Intermolecular Decarboxylation4 Conclusions and Outlook

Organozinc species are powerful reagents for performing carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions in the presence of a transition-metal catalyst. However, extended applications of zinc reagents have been hampered by their moderate air- and moisture­-stability. This short review presents our recent developments on the preparation of solid aryl, benzyl, heteroaryl, allyl zinc pivalates and zinc amide enolate reagents with greatly enhanced stability toward to air and moisture.1 Introduction2 Preparation of Organozinc Pivalates2.1 Using Organic Halides as Substrates2.2 Using a Directed Metalation on Functionalized Arenes and Heteroarenes2.3 Preparation of Solid Allylic Zinc Pivalates3 General Reactivity Patterns of Organozinc Pivalates3.1 General Aspects3.2 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings3.3 Other Carbon–Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions Using Organozinc Pivalates3.4 Preparation and Reactions of Solid, Salt-Stabilized Zinc Amide Enolates as New, Convenient Reformatsky Reagents4 Conclusion

The construction of nitrogen-containing molecules remains at the cutting edge of organic synthesis because of its wide application in various areas. Instead of prefunctionalized substrates, using free C–H and N–H bonds in the starting materials can supply a more sustainable avenue to the C–N bond-forming reactions. Compared with the well-developed transition-metal-catalyzed protocols, the strategy of introducing optical or electrical energy into reactions is fantastic and appealing. As a result, visible light or electricity mediated amination transformations have continued to develop over the past several years. In this short review, recent progress of carbon–nitrogen bond-forming reactions based on the oxidative cross coupling between C(sp2, sp3)–H and N–H are summarized.1 Introduction2 C(sp2)–H/N–H Oxidative Cross Coupling2.1 Aryl C(sp2)–H as C Nucleophiles2.1.1 Azoles as N Nucleophiles2.1.2 Sulfonamides or Sulfonimides as N Nucleophiles2.1.3 NH3 as N Nucleophile2.1.4 Morpholine as N Nucleophile2.1.5 Diaryl Amines as N Nucleophiles2.1.6 Primary Amines as N Nucleophiles2.1.7 Imides as N Nucleophiles2.1.8 Imines as N Nucleophiles2.2 Alkenyl C(sp2)–H as C Nucleophiles2.3 Aldehydic C(sp2)–H as C Nucleophiles3 C(sp3)–H/N–H Oxidative Cross Coupling3.1 Benzylic C(sp3)–H as C Nucleophiles3.2 α-C(sp3)–H as C Nucleophiles4 Conclusions and Outlook

AbstractCopper-mediated carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions involving a wide range of substrates have been in the spotlight for many organic chemists. This review highlights developments between 2010 and 2019 in both stoichiometric and catalytic copper-mediated reactions, and also examples of nickel-mediated reactions, under modified Chan–Lam cross-coupling conditions using various nucleophiles; examples include chemo- and regioselective N-arylations or O-arylations. The utilization of various nucleophiles as coupling partners together with reaction optimization (including the choice of copper source, ligands, base, and other additives), limitations, scope, and mechanisms are examined; these have benefitted the development of efficient and milder methods. The synthesis of medicinally valuable or pharmaceutically important nitrogen heterocycles, including isotope-labeled compounds, is also included. Chan–Lam coupling reaction can now form twelve different C–element bonds, making it one of the most diverse and mild reactions known in organic chemistry.1 Introduction2 Construction of C–N and C–O Bonds2.1 C–N Bond Formation2.1.1 Original Discovery via Stoichiometric Copper-Mediated C–N Bond Formation2.1.2 Copper-Catalyzed C–N Bond Formation2.1.3 Coupling with Azides, Sulfoximines, and Sulfonediimines as Nitrogen­ Nucleophiles2.1.4 Coupling with N,N-Dialkylhydroxylamines2.1.5 Enolate Coupling with sp3-Carbon Nucleophiles2.1.6 Nickel-Catalyzed Chan–Lam Coupling2.1.7 Coupling with Amino Acids2.1.8 Coupling with Alkylboron Reagents2.1.9 Coupling with Electron-Deficient Heteroarylamines2.1.10 Selective C–N Bond Formation for the Synthesis of Heterocycle-Containing Compounds2.1.11 Using Sulfonato-imino Copper(II) Complexes2.2 C–O Bond Formation2.2.1 Coupling with (Hetero)arylboron Reagents2.2.2 Coupling with Alkyl- and Alkenylboron Reagents3 C–Element (Element = S, P, C, F, Cl, Br, I, Se, Te, At) Bond Forma tion under Modified Chan–Lam Conditions4 Conclusions
