<div> <p>The introduction of substituents on bare heterocyclic scaffolds can selectively be achieved by directed C–H functionalisation. However, such methods have only occasionally been used, in an iterative manner, to decorate various positions of a medicinal scaffold to build chemical libraries. We herein report the multiple, site selective, metal-catalyzed C–H functionalisation of a "programmed" 4-hydroxyquinoline. This medicinally privileged template indeed possesses multiple reactive sites for diversity-oriented functionalisation, of which four were targeted. The C-2 and C-8 decorations were directed by an <i>N</i>-oxide, before taking benefit of an O-carbamoyl protection at C-4 to perform a Fries rearrangement and install a carboxamide at C-3. This also released the carbonyl group of 4-quinolones, the ultimate directing group to functionalise position 5. Our study highlights the power of multiple C–H functionalisation to generate diversity in a biologically relevant library, after showing its strong antimalarial potential.</p></div>

Transition metal–catalyzed aryl C−H activation is a powerful synthetic tool as it offers step and atom-economical routes to site-selective functionalization. Compared with proximal ortho-C−H activation, distal (meta- and/or para-) C−H activation remains more challenging due to the inaccessibility of these sites in the formation of energetically favorable organometallic pretransition states. Directing the catalyst toward the distal C−H bonds requires judicious template engineering and catalyst design, as well as prudent choice of ligands. This review aims to summarize the recent elegant discoveries exploiting directing group assistance, transient mediators or traceless directors, noncovalent interactions, and catalyst and/or ligand selection to control distal C−H activation.

Although C–H activation has become a powerful tool in the synthesis of complex molecules from simple precursors, transition metal-catalyzed reactions involving free alkenes often lead to insertion-type reactions. Herein we demonstrate that the addition of carbon dioxide in the form of dry ice allows the C(<i>sp</i><sup>2</sup>)–H arylation of both secondary and primary allylamines in the presence of a Pd<sup>II</sup> catalyst. Notably, the product 3,3’-diarylallylamine motif is prevalent in a variety of biologically-relevant structures, and this method represents the most straightforward synthesis of these targets to date. Key features of the method are the ability to access relatively mild conditions that facilitate a broad substrate scope, as well as direct diarylation of terminal allylamine substrates. In addition, several complex and therapeutically-relevant molecules are included to demonstrate the utility of the transformation.

The significance of site selective functionalization stands upon the superior selectivity, easy synthesis and diverse product utility. In this work we demonstrate the <i>para</i>-selective introduction of versatile nitrile moiety, enabled by detachable and reusable H-bonded auxiliary. The methodology holds its efficiency irrespective of substrate electronic bias. The conspicuous shift in the step energetics was probed by both experimental and computational mechanistic tools heralds the inception of <i>para</i>-deuteration. The synthetic impact of the methodology was highlighted with reusability of directing group and post synthetic modifications

Transition metal-catalyzed selective C–H bond functionalization enabled by transient ligands has become an extremely attractive topic due to its economical and greener characteristics. However, catalytic pathways of this reaction process on unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> carbons of reactants have not been well studied yet. Herein, detailed mechanistic investigation on Pd-catalyzed C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond activation with amino acids as transient ligands has been systematically conducted. The theoretical calculations showed that higher angle distortion of C(sp2)-H bond over C(sp3)-H bond and stronger nucleophilicity of benzylic anion over its aromatic counterpart, leading to higher reactivity of corresponding C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bonds; the angle strain of the directing rings of key intermediates determines the site-selectivity of aliphatic ketone substrates; replacement of glycine with β-alanine as the transient ligand can decrease the angle tension of the directing rings. Synthetic experiments have confirmed that β-alanine is indeed a more efficient transient ligand for arylation of β-secondary carbons of linear aliphatic ketones than its glycine counterpart.<br><br>

The title compound, N-benzo[c][1,2,5]thiazol-4-yl-3-trifluoromethylbenzamide (1) was synthesized by reacting 3-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (4) and 4-aminobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (5). The compound was characterized by various spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, GC-MS) and its composition confirmed by elemental analysis. The importance of this compound lies in its possession of an N,N-bidentate directing group. Such a structural motif is potentially suitable for metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions.
