Abstract
An unprecedented Ir(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/amination/annulation of 2-phenyloxazoles with anthranils for the highly selective preparation of acridone derivatives in one-pot under controlled conditions is reported. This protocol is characterized by atom economy and high regioselectivity. A wide range of anthranils with 2-phenyloxazoles were well tolerated and afforded the desired products in moderate to good yields, in which the anthranil serves as a convenient amination reagent.

Abstract
Exploitation of noncovalent interactions for recognition of an organic substrate has received much attention for the design of metal catalysts in organic synthesis. The CH-π interaction is especially of interest for molecular recognition because both the C-H bonds and the π electrons are fundamental properties of organic molecules. However, because of their weak nature, these interactions have been less utilized for the control of organic reactions. We show here that the CH-π interaction can be used to kinetically accelerate catalytic C-H activation of arenes by directly recognizing the π-electrons of the arene substrates with a spirobipyridine ligand. Computation and a ligand kinetic isotope effect study provide evidence for the CH-π interaction between the ligand backbone and the arene substrate. The rational exploitation of weak noncovalent interactions between the ligand and the substrate will open new avenues for ligand design in catalysis.

Abstract
An ideal approach for the construction of aryl boron compounds is to selectively replace a C-H bond in arenes with a C-B bond, and controlling regioselectivity is one of the most challenging aspects of these transformations. Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed trialkoxysilane protecting group-assisted regioselective C-H borylation of arenes, including derivatives of benzaldehydes, acetophenones, benzoic acids, benzyl alcohols, phenols, aryl silanes, benzyl silanes, and multi-functionalized aromatic rings are all well tolerated and gave the para -selective C-H borylation products in a short time without the requirement of inert gases atmosphere. The site-selective C-H borylation can be adjustable by installing the developed trialkoxysilane protecting group on different functional groups on one aromatic ring. Importantly, the preparation process of the trialkoxychlorosilane is efficient and scalable. Mechanistic and computational studies reveal that the steric hindrance of the trialkoxysilane protecting group plays a key role in dictating the para-selectivity.

Abstract
This research article uses density functional theory (DFT) to study photoinduced borylation. This work examined the electron donor-acceptor complex (EDA) of bis(catecholato)diboron with different redox-active leaving groups and bis(pinacol)diboron with aryl N-hydroxyphthalimide. The results of these DFT studies show the complex ratio of B2 cat2 and N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) should be 1 : 2 which is consistent with the experimental results in the literature. We further proposed a reaction mechanism and calculated the energies associated with each step.

Abstract
The functionalization of C-H bonds in organic molecules containing functional groups has been one of the holy grails of catalysis. One synthetically important approach to the diverse functionalization of C-H bonds is the catalytic silylation or borylation of C-H bonds, which enables a broad array of downstream transformations to afford diverse structures. Advances in both undirected and directed methods for the transition-metal-catalyzed silylation and borylation of C-H bonds have led to their rapid adoption in early-, mid-, and late-stage of the synthesis of complex molecules. In this Review, we review the application of the transition-metal-catalyzed silylation and borylation of C-H bonds to the synthesis of bioactive molecules, organic materials, and ligands. Overall, we aim to provide a picture of the state of art of the silylation and borylation of C-H bonds as applied to the synthesis and modification of diverse architectures that will spur further application and development of these reactions.

Abstract
Rendering a common ligand scaffold anionic and then pairing it with a chiral cation represents an alternative strategy for developing enantioselective versions of challenging transformations, as has been recently demonstrated in the enantioselective borylation of arenes using a quinine-derived chiral cation. A significant barrier to the further generalization of this approach is the lack of understanding of the specific interactions involved between the cation, ligand, and substrate, given the complexity of the system. We have embarked on a detailed computational study probing the mechanism, the key noncovalent interactions involved, and potential origin of selectivity for the desymmetrizing borylation of two distinct classes of substrate. We describe a deconstructive, stepwise approach to tackling this complex challenge, which involves building up a detailed understanding of the pairwise components of the nominally three component system before combining together into the full 263-atom reactive complex. This approach has revealed substantial differences in the noncovalent interactions occurring at the stereodetermining transition state for C-H oxidative addition to iridium for the two substrate classes. Each substrate engages in a unique mixture of diverse interactions, a testament to the rich and privileged structure of the cinchona alkaloid-derived chiral cations. Throughout the study, experimental support is provided, and this culminates in the discovery that prochiral phosphine oxide substrates, lacking hydrogen bond donor functionality, can also give very encouraging levels of enantioselectivity, potentially through direct interactions with the chiral cation. We envisage that the findings in this study will spur further developments in using chiral cations as controllers in asymmetric transition-metal catalysis.

Abstract
C-H borylation is one of the powerful C-H bond functionalization reactions. In this context, a metal-free C-H borylation of benzophenones using hydrazone as the traceless directing group has been reported. The dibromoboron intermediates can be obtained in excellent yields, and the corresponding arylboronic esters are generated in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the borylated compounds can be transformed in a one-pot method, avoiding the loss of overall yield caused by the separation of the arylboronic esters.

Abstract
Preorganized ligands such as bis-lactam-1,10-phenanthroline (BLPhen) show unique selectivity trends across the lanthanide series, indicating the synergistic effects of both N and O donors in complexing with lanthanides. We hypothesize that by replacing amide functional groups with an N-oxide functionality would open the door to new ligand architectures with improved selectivities. To test this idea, we computationally examined mixed N,O-donor ligands containing pyridinic N and N-oxide groups and evaluated their relative aqueous La(iii)/Ln(iii) selectivity by computing free energy changes for the exchange reaction between the designed ligands and a reference ligand. Three novel ligands show promise as excellent extractant agents in selectively separating trivalent lanthanides. The extent of conjugation (and hyperconjugation), the complex geometry, and the electron accumulations on the two O-donors of the N-oxide groups are found to be important factors in dictating the selectivity trends.
