The transition metal-catalyzed C–H bond functionalization of azoles has emerged as one of the most important strategies to decorate these biologically important scaffolds. Despite significant progress in the C–H functionalization of various heteroarenes, the regioselective alkylation and alkenylation of azoles are still arduous transformations in many cases. This review covers recent advances in the direct C–H alkenylation, alkylation and alkynylation of azoles utilizing transition metal-catalysis. Moreover, the limitations of different strategies, chemoselectivity and regioselectivity issues will be discussed in this review.

Compared with the traditional Grignard reaction, direct insertion of polar double bonds to C–H bonds via transition-metal catalysis is ideal from the viewpoint of atom-, step- and cost-economy and the avoidance of the waste emission, as well as of the complex manipulation of sensitive reagents.

Transition-metal-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of electron-deficient heteroarenes, such as pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines and nitroindoles, has become a powerful method for the access of unsaturated heterocycles in recent decades. This short review summarizes nucleophilic dearomatization of electron-deficient heteroarenes with carbon- and heteroatom-based nucleophiles via transition-metal catalysis. A great number of functionalized heterocycles were obtained in this transformation. Importantly, many of these reactions were carried out in an enantioselective manner by means of asymmetric catalysis, providing a unique method for the construction of enantioenriched heterocycles. 1 Introduction 2 Transition-metal-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of heteroarenes via alkynylation 3 Transition-metal-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of heteroarenes via arylation 4 Transition-metal-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization of heteroarenes with other nucleophiles 5 Transition-metal-catalyzed nucleophilic dearomatization with nucleophiles formed in situ 6 Conclusion and outlook

The diverse methodologies to synthesize N-heterocycles through transition-metal-catalyzed cascade addition/cyclization of a nitrile are discussed in this review. Aspects relating to three types of transition-metal-catalyzed addition of a nitrile with subsequent cyclization include (1) a transition-metal acting as a Lewis acid to accelerate the nucleophilic addition of a nitrile, (2) the late-transition-metal-catalyzed 1,2-insertion of a nitrile, and (3) an in situ generated radical by transition-metal catalysis to implement a radical addition/cyclization tandem reaction. Applications for the synthesis of natural alkaloids, their derivatives, and some bioactive compounds are also summarized herein.1 Introduction2 Nucleophilic Addition of a Nitrile Accelerated by a Lewis Acid2.1 Late-Transition-Metal Catalysis2.2 Early-Transition-Metal Catalysis2.3 Lanthanide-Metal Catalysis2.4 Cyclization from N-Arylnitriliums3 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Insertion of a Nitrile4 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Radical Addition of a Nitrile5 Conclusions

AbstractSignificant progress in the functionalization of icosahedral boron clusters has been made in the past years, leading to an increasing number of applications in various fields of research. The direct conversion of B–H bonds to substituted vertices constitutes an attractive strategy to synthesize cage compounds with desired properties. In this report, recent advances in the transition metal-catalyzed B–H activation of neutral and anionic boron clusters are presented.
