Multicomponent coupling reactions provide a method to combine several substrates in a single reaction. When coupled with transition-metal catalysis, these reactions can be used to both activate and control the assembly of multiple simple building blocks directly into useful products. This account will describe our work in this area, with a focus on the use of palladium catalysis as a tool to couple imines and CO with other substrates into a range of heterocyclic derivatives in one-step reactions.

Phenols and aryl thiols are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis and final products with interesting biological activities. Over the past decades, substantial progress has been made in transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, which resulted in the emergence of new methods for the synthesis of phenols and aryl thiols. Aryl halides have been extensively studied as substrates for the synthesis of phenols and aryl thiols. In very recent years, C–H activation represents a powerful strategy for the construction of functionalized phenols directly from various arenes. However, the synthesis of aryl thiols through C–H activation has not been reported. In this review, a brief overview is given of the recent advances in synthetic strategies for both phenols and aryl thiols.

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) constitute a powerful synthetic tool to generate a large number of small molecules with high atom economy, which thus can efficiently expand the chemical space with molecular diversity and complexity. Aryne-based MCRs offer versatile possibilities to construct functionalized arenes and benzo-fused heterocycles. Because of their electrophilic nature, arynes couple with a broad range of nucleophiles. Thus, a variety of aryne-based MCRs have been developed, the representative of which are summarized in this account.1 Introduction2 Aryne-Based Multicomponent Reactions2.1 Trapping with Isocyanides2.2 Trapping with Imines2.3 Trapping with Amines2.4 Insertion into π-Bonds2.5 Trapping with Ethers and Thioethers2.6 Trapping with Carbanions2.7 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Approaches3 Strategies Based on Hexadehydro Diels–Alder Reaction3.1 Dihalogenation3.2 Halohydroxylation and Haloacylation3.3 Amides and Imides3.4 Quinazolines3.5 Benzocyclobutene-1,2-diimines and 3H-Indole-3-imines3.6 Other MCRs of Arynes and Isocyanides4 Conclusion

Functionalized cyclic organic carbonates have emerged as valuable building blocks for the construction of interesting and useful molecules upon decarboxylation under transition metal catalysis in recent years. With suitable catalytic system, the development of chemo-, regio-, stereo- and enantioselective methods for the synthesis of useful and interesting compounds has advanced greatly. On the basis of previous research work on this topic, this short review will highlight the synthetic potential of cyclic carbonates under transition metal catalysis in last two years. 1 Introduction 2 Transition metal catalyzed decarboxylation of vinyl cyclic carbonates 3 Zwitterionic enolate chemistry based on transition metal catalysis 4 Decarboxylation of alkynyl cyclic carbonates and dioxazolones 5 Conclusions and perspectives

Arynes are important building blocks for introducing aromatic rings into molecules and they are frequently utilized in syntheses. Historically, arynes were generated under harsh conditions and this limited their use. Arynes can now be generated under milder conditions, e.g. from 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflate, and utilized in transition-metal­ catalyzed reactions such as [2+2+2] reactions, insertion into σ-bonds, cascade cyclizations and C–H activation reactions. This short review focuses on transition-metal-catalyzed reactions relevant to aryne intermediates generated from 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflates and other aryne precursors.1 Introduction2 [2+2+2] Reactions3 Aryne Insertion into a σ-Bond4 Cascade Cyclizations5 C–H Activation6 Multicomponent Reactions (MCRs)7 Conclusion
