We disclose the intramolecular synthesis of 3-alkenyl-2<i>H</i>-indazoles from 2-alkynylazobenzenes promoted by a dual catalysis using AuCl3 and a ruthenium photocatalyst under irradiation with visible light. This reaction goes through a hydroamination of the alkynyl fragment. The yields are governed by the electronic factors. Control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that a radical and polar mechanisms are operating in parallel. This transformation goes through first formation and C-N bond and 1,2-hydride shift. Derivatization was also carried out to extend the versatility of this methodology.

This work discloses a strategy for the implementation of ON-ON organometallic catalytic processes using photoresponsive phosphine ligands. The approach leverages on the regiodivergent reactivity of mono- and bimetallic gold complexes that result from π- vs σ,π-activations of alkynyl-substituted urea substrates, for the selective formation of either dihydroquinazolinone or indole-carboxamide products, via intramolecular hydroamidation.

Six-membered endocyclic benzyl/allyl enecarbamates undergo a Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation process to generate endocyclic 1-azaallyl anions and Pd–benzyl/allyl cations. The ion pair then react with each other followed by reduction to ultimately give unprotected -2-(hetero)aryl-3-benzylpiperidines and 2-(hetero)aryl-3-allylpiperidines in 31−91% yields as single cis-diastereomers. These reactions represent a strategy to form unprotected β-substituted piperidines, which generates elusive endocyclic 1-azaallyl anion intermediates by introducing the negative charge from the N-terminal.

Germanium (Ge), a congener of carbon, possesses unique properties that hold extensive potential for applications across multiple domains. Recent years have seen significant progress in the development of carbon-germanium bond formation strategies, particularly those for more challenging C(sp3)-Ge bonds. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in C(sp3)-Ge bond forming methodologies, with particular emphasis on (1) the versatility of transition-metals, including iron, nickel, copper, rhodium and palladium, as catalysts in broadening reaction scope and controlling selectivity; (2) the powerfulness of organic photocatalysis in achieving mild and selective bond formation, and (3) the sustainability of catalytic electrosynthesis in facilitating chemical oxidant-/reductant-free conversions. Additionally, examples of (4) non-catalytic strategies are also discussed. The representative scopes, as well as mechanistic proposals, of these protocols are highlighted. Through an overview on the current state of research, this review aims to offer insights into the catalytic construction of C(sp3)-Ge bonds, and provide perspectives on future research directions to address the current challenges.

An efficient and operationally simple protocol to access N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)amides/propiolamides and acrylamides via direct conversion of easily accessible nitriles (aryl/alkyl/alkynyl/vinyl) and in situ generated CF3CHN2 as trifluoroethylating reagent has been developed. The protocol offers broad functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the conversion of trifluoroethylated propiolamide into its triazole analog via Ru-catalyzed [3+2] cycloadditions using BnN3 clearly indicates its versatility in the synthetic applications.

The front cover features a Tarot-style card titled “THE FLOW”. A sage seated by a cascading stream (symbolizing a flow system) holds deuterium and hydrogen atoms and determines the reaction pathway for ClCF2H molecules in the sky. By varying the addition and mixing sequences within a flow system, ClCF2H gas can undergo an SN2 reaction with heteroatom anions to produce X-CF2H products, or be selectively converted into difluorocarbenes for a carbene-based fragment coupling, yielding X-CF2D products. More details can be found in Communication by Wai Chung Fu and co-workers (H. C. Leung, T. C. Lee, W.-T. Wong, W. C. Fu, Adv. Synth. Catal. 2024, 366, XXXX–XXXX; DOI: 10.1002/adsc.202400826)

Organocatalytic dearomatization of β-naphthols has been achieved via an 1,6-conjugated addition of 2-naphthols to alkynyl 7-methylene-7H-indoles in situ generated from α-(7-indolyl)methanols. In the presence of racemic phosphoric acid, a series of tetrasubstituted allenes was obtained in high yields. Particularly, with the aid of chiral phosphoric acid, asymmetric dearomatization of β-naphthols was investigated, affording axially chiral tetrasubstituted allenes with moderate enantioselectivity.

An asymmetric 1,4-reduction of exocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones leading to the formation of diverse optically active α-substituted tetralones has been realized by chiral SPINOL-derived boro-phosphate. The enantios-elctivity-determining step of the reaction is the protonation of a highly active boron enolates intermediate. The catalytic reduction system composed of chiral SPINOL-derived boro-phosphate and pinacolborane may be widely used in other asymmetric reduction reactions.

The incorporation of carbon-fluorine bonds can profoundly influence the chemical and physical properties of drugs, agrochemicals, and materials. Different methods allow the installation of CF<sub>3</sub>, CF<sub>2</sub>H units and C–F bonds including trifluoro- and difluoromethoxylations, reflecting the limited diversity of reactions available to synthetic chemists. We introduce the trifluoroethoxy group through an electro-oxidative iodination of alkenes as a versatile substituent for fluorine chemists. An iodoarene serves as an unusual iodine source facilitating the 1,2-iodoalkoxylation of a broad range of industrially relevant aliphatic alkenes in high yields (31–98%) showing high Markovnikov regioselectivity.

An expedient strategy for the construction of trifluoromethylselenolated spiro[5.5]trienones/spiro[4.5]trienones through a cascade electrophilic trifluoromethylselenolation cyclization and dearomatization has been developed. This sequential process was induced by N-trifluoromethylselenophthalimide (Phth-SeCF3), which was an efficient electrophilic trifluoromethylselenolation reagent. This approach has the feature of mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and high functional group tolerance.
