A 1,3‐iodoesterification of 2‐substituted indoles with trihaloacetic acid, iodination reagent, and hypervalent iodine(III) compound was developed as an acid‐promoted C<sub>sp2</sub>–H/C<sub>sp3</sub>–H dual functionalization reaction to furnish 3‐iodo‐2‐trihaloacetoxymethyl indoles. The one‐pot 1,3‐iodoesterification/hydrolysis of the trihaloester group provided 3‐iodo‐2‐pivaloylmethyl indoles via the rearrangement of the pivaloyl group. The reaction proceeded through a trihaloacetic acid‐assisted electrophilic activation of the iodination reagent after the formation of an indolyl(mesityl)iodonium trihaloacetate.

A cascade reaction involving 2‐isocyanophenyl propargylic ester and 4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one has been documented. This reaction leads to the formation of a highly strained cyclopropen‐imine species, thereby offering an efficient route to synthesize quinoline‐fused polycyclic skeletons.

Herein, we disclose a readily available phenothiazine derivative as an oxidizing organic photocatalyst, that serves to induce radical cascade sulfonylation/cyclization reaction of enaminones. A variety of 3-sulfonyl chromones have been obtained with moderate to excellent yields. This catalytic platform proceeds under metal-free conditions with a wide substrate scope and broad functional group compatibility, which unlocks the new reactivity of phenothiazine derivatives and adds significant synthetic values to <i>O</i>-heterocycles.

The amination of aryl halides with palladium catalysts (Buchwald‐Hartwig amination) is a widely used transformation in synthetic and drug discovery chemistry. In this report, we demonstrate that a monometallic 2‐phosphinoimidazole Pd catalyst exhibits comparable or enhanced reactivity when compared to all ligands screened for room temperature amination of aryl chlorides with secondary amines. The di‐tert‐butylphosphine derivative showed extremely high reactivity while the di‐isopropyl variant led to almost complete loss of catalytic activity. Computational and experimental mechanistic and kinetic studies indicate that a monometallic Pd structure rather than a bimetallic Pd structure is key to fast catalysis. The di‐tert‐butylphosphine ligand has fast catalysis because it thermodynamically disfavors the formation of a much less active bimetallic Pd complex. A wide substrate scope is demonstrated for the arylation of secondary amines with aryl chlorides using our new catalyst system.

Herein, an iron-catalyzed protocol for the aromatization-driven deconstruction and decarboxylation of ketone-derived dihydroquinazolinones in reaction with unsaturated carboxylic acids is reported. A diverse range of fluoroacrylic acids and cinnamic acids reacted effectively with dihydroquinazolinones, yielding essential monofluoroalkenes and alkenes with excellent stereoselectivity. Additionally, spiro-dihydroquinazolinones served as suitable substrates, facilitating the synthesis of valuable quinazolin-4(3H)-ones featuring alkene motifs. This protocol is notable for its operational simplicity and versatility, enabling the chemical diversification of active molecules.

Mg(SPh)2 has been found to be a highly active catalyst in photocatalytic alkylation reactions of active methylene compounds with nonactivated alkenes. The desired reactions proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding alkylated products in high yields with low catalyst loadings (0.2-0.3 mol%). This protocol is applicable to a continuous-flow system. Notably, magnesium is an earth-abundant metal, and Mg(SPh)2 exhibits higher catalytic activity than the previously reported LiSPh.

A visible-light-induced intramolecular crossed [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of allene-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes was reported in this paper. The reactions were conducted under mild conditions using Iridium(III) catalyst FirPic as a photosensitizer for energy transfer, affording bridged bicyclic alkenes in moderate to good yields with excellent regioselectivity and stereoselectivity through the regulation of substituents at the olefin’s terminal position. Meanwhile, the computational study explained the special region control assisted by sulfonyl radicals in detail.

Allenes tethered to pyrroles undergo Au(I)-catalyzed hydroarylation leading to tetrahydrodiazepines or tetrahydrodiazonines. The regioselectivity of the reaction is governed by both the substitution pattern of the allene and the nature of the Au(I) ligand. Hence, alkyl-gem-disubstituted allenes preferentially lead to tetrahydrodiazepines via 7-exo- cyclizations, while aryl-substituted allenes preferentially lead to tetrahydrodiazonines via 9-endo cyclization when a phosphite ligand is used. Enantioselective reactions have been developed with the SEGPHOS chiral ligand, leading to chiral heterocycles with high enantioselectivity (up to 96% ee). In addition, DFT calculations have streamlined the regioselectivity (7-exo vs 9-endo) of these gold(I)-catalyzed cyclizations.

Photoinduced catalytic alkylation reactions of active methine compounds with nonactivated alkenes have been developed using an organophotocatalyst, a metal Lewis acid, an arylthiol, and an amine base catalyst system. The alkylation reactions proceeded smoothly under ambient conditions with blue light irradiation, affording the desired products bearing quaternary carbon centers in high yields. Furthermore, enantioselective alkylation with an nonactivated alkene was achieved using a chiral Lewis acid.

Herein, we present the example of iron-catalyzed reductive amination of nitroarenes under the iron/borane system, providing diverse N-heterocycles in moderate to good yields. This transformation has high efficiency, broad substrate scope, and good functional group compatibility. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that hydroxylamines derived from nitrosoarenes may serve as crucial intermediates rather than anilines, and free organic radicals may not participate in the catalytic cycle.
