The generation of carbon-centered radicals from air-sensitive organoboron compounds via nucleohomolytic substitution at boron is one of the most general methods to generate non-functionalized and functionalized radicals. Due to their reduced Lewis acidity, the very popular, air-stable, and readily available alkylboronic pinacol esters are not suitable substrates for this process. Herein, is reported their <i>in situ</i> conversion to alkylboronic catechol esters by boron-transesterification with a substoichiometric amount of catechol methyl borate (MeO–Bcat) telescoped onto a wide array of radical chain processes. This simple one-pot, radical-chain, deboronative protocol allows for the conversion of pinacol boronic esters into iodides, bromides, chlorides, and thioethers. The process is also suitable the formation of nitriles and allylated compounds via C–C bond formation using sulfonyl radical traps. Finally, a particularly mild protocol for the protodeboronation of pinacol boronic esters is given. The power of combining radical and classical boron chemistry, is illustrated with a highly modular 5-membered ring formation using a combination of a three-component coupling reaction and a protodeboronative cyclization.

A one-pot approach towards β-methylstyrenes is reported. The transformation involves a Stille cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with allyltributylstannane, followed by an in situ Pd-catalyzed double bond conjugative migration.

A simple and efficient method for α-brominating lactones that affords α-bromolactones under mild conditions using tetraalkylammonium hydroxide (R4N+OH−) as a base was developed. Lactones are ring-opened with Br2 and a substoichiometric amount of PBr3, leading to good yields of the corresponding α-bromocarboxylic acids. Subsequent intramolecular cyclization over 1 h using a two-phase system (H2O/CHCl3) containing R4N+OH− afforded α-bromo lactones in good yields. This method can be applied at the 10 mmol scale using simple operations. α-Bromo-δ-valerolactone, which is extremely reactive and difficult to isolate, could be isolated and stored in a freezer for about one week using the developed method. Optimizing the solvent for environmentally friendly large-scale syntheses revealed that methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was as effective. In addition, in situ-generated α-bromo-δ-valerolactone was directly converted into a sulfur-substituted functional lactone without difficulty by reacting it with a sulfur nucleophile in one pot without isolation. This new bromination system is expected to facilitate the industrial use of α-bromolactones as important intermediates.

Starting from simple anilines and ester arylpropiolates, an efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-arylindole-3-carboxylate derivatives has been developed through copper-mediated sequential hydroamination and cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction. The initial hydroamination of anilines to ester arylpropiolates in benzene can proceed in a stereoselective manner to give ester (Z)-3-(arylamino)acrylates in the presence of CuCl2/phenanthroline, KMnO4, and KHCO3 at 120 °C. Sequentially, these in situ functionalized adducts can undergo direct intramolecular oxidative alkenylation of aromatic C–H bond in mixed solvents (benzene/DMSO 1:1) at 130 °C affording multi-substituted­ indoles in good to high yields.

Graphdiyne (GDY) is a new type of two-dimensional (2D) carbon materials, in which two benzene rings are chained by diacetylenic linkages (-C≡C-C≡C-). γ-GDY is the most studied GDY due to its stable configuration and was experimentally obtained in 2010 through cross coupling reaction by using hexaethynylbenzene as precursor. Hydrogen substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) was obtained using 1, 3, 5-triethynylbenzene as precursor in a similar process. Hereinto, a copper cluster doped hydrogen substituted graphdiyne nanofibers (Cu-HsGDY) were prepared through a facile one-pot in-situ synthetic approach in a good reproductive manner. Through simply removing the copper foil, the obtained robust Cu-HsGDY can be transferred onto arbitrary substrates, especially flexible substrates, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which can be used as flexible electronics as future materials.

Various substituted bis-(aryl)manganese species were prepared from aryl bromides by one-pot insertion of magnesium turnings in the presence of LiCl and in situ trans-metalation with MnCl2 in THF at −5 °C within 2 h. These bis-(aryl)manganese reagents undergo smooth iron-catalyzed cross-couplings using 10 mol% Fe(acac)3 with various functionalized alkenyl iodides and bromides in 1 h at 25 °C. The aryl-alkenyl cross-coupling reaction mechanism was thoroughly investigated through paramagnetic 1H-NMR, which identified the key role of tris-coordinated ate-iron(II) species in the catalytic process.

Carbon–carbon couplings are among the most important strategies for constructing functional molecules in organic synthetic chemistry, and cheap, diverse, and readily available coupling partners are crucial to these diverse reactions. In this contribution, we report the first palladium-catalyzed C–C cross-coupling reaction of two kinds of organic halide, a gem-dibromoalkene and a halobenzene, as the starting materials. Terminal alkynes were generated in situ through a tandem elimination–hydrodebromination process, and the internal alkyne final products were synthesized in one pot. The reaction proceeded under simple, facile, and classic copper-free Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions in good to excellent yields.

By using an iron-based catalyst, access to enantioenriched 1,1-diarylakanes was enabled through an enantioselective Suzuki-Miyaura crosscoupling reaction. The combination of a chiral cyanobis(oxazoline) ligand framework and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene additive were essential to afford high yields and enantioselectivities in cross-coupling reactions between unactivated aryl boronic esters and a variety of benzylic chlorides, including challenging ortho-substituted benzylic chloride substrates. Mechanistic investigations implicate a stereoconvergent pathway involving carbon-centered radical intermediates.
