Abstract
A palladium(II)-catalyzed norbornene-mediated remote selective meta-C-H silylation of primary benzamides was developed for the synthesis of arylsilanes. Such a conversion provides access to a range of arylsilanes with exclusive selectivity using norbornene (NBE) as the meta-C-H activator. The amide directing group can be detached simultaneously through C-C bond cleavage or undergo a dehydration reaction pathway to form nitriles.

Abstract
The cooperation of two distinct catalytic cycles to activate different reactive centers leading to a chemical transformation has been classified as synergistic catalysis. The synergistic combination of NHC with palladium catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy in the last few years. Merging the ability of NHCs to inverse the polarity of a functional group with the unique reactivity of palladium enables transformations that cannot be accomplished by either of these catalysts alone. Despite the associated challenges, such as quenching of catalysts, reactivity mismatch etc., significant development has been achieved in the field of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis. The recent incorporation of photoredox catalysis with NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis has further advanced this area. This review highlights the developments made in the area of NHC/Pd synergistic catalysis.

Abstract
CH functionalization, a promising frontier in modern organic chemistry, facilitates the direct conversion of inert CH bonds into many valuable functional groups. Despite its merits, traditional homogeneous catalysis, often faces challenges in efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability towards this transformation. In this context, artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs), resulting from the incorporation of a catalytically-competent metal cofactor within an evolvable protein scaffold, bridges the gap between the efficiency of enzymatic transformations and the versatility of transition metal catalysis. Accordingly, ArMs have emerged as attractive tools for various challenging catalytic transformations. Additionally, the coming of age of directed evolution has unlocked unprecedented avenues for optimizing enzymatic catalysis. Taking advantage of their genetically-encoded protein scaffold, ArMs have been evolved to catalyze various CH functionalization reactions. This review delves into the recent developments of ArM-catalyzed CH functionalization reactions, highlighting the benefits of engineering the second coordination sphere around a metal cofactor within a host protein.

Abstract
A novel Pd-catalyzed three-component domino reaction for the stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized allyl cinnamates has been developed. In this protocol, a sequential process of C-C bond activation and intermolecular allylic substitution was well-organized. The key for this transformation is the in situ generated hydrolysis product of cyclopropenone, which triggered a new reaction with vinylethylene carbonates. The reaction mechanism was investigated, demonstrating the high stereoselectivity and excellent atomic economy in this process.

Abstract
A cascade reaction enabling enantio- and diastereoselective construction of strained cyclopropanes is described. This asymmetric (2+1) annulation process uses vinyl methylene carbonate and 2-cyanoacrylate as reaction partners in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 as a precatalyst and an enantioenriched phosphoramidite ligand featuring a morpholine functionality. Mechanistic investigations unveil that the PPh3 derived from the Pd(PPh3)4 and the morpholine-containing phosphoramidite work as cooperative phosphorus and Brønsted base catalysts to promote the reaction.

Abstract
Alcohol groups and β-O-4 (C-C) linkages are widespread in biomass feedstock that are abundant renewable resource for value-added chemicals. The development of sustainable protocols for direct oxidation or oxidative cleavage of feedstock materials in a controlled fashion, using open air as an oxidant is an intellectually stimulating task to produce industrially important value-added carbonyls. Further, the oxidative depolymerization of lignin into fine chemicals has evoked interest in recent times. Herein, we report the first example of a catalyst system that could activate molecular oxygen from atmospheric air for controlled oxidation and oxidative cleavage/depolymerization of feedstock materials such as alcohols, β-O-4 (C-C) linkages and real lignin in water under open air conditions. The selectivity of carbonyl products is controlled by altering the pH between ~7.0 and ~12.0. The current strategy highlights the non-involvement of any external co-catalyst, oxidant, radical additives, and/or destructive organic solvents. The catalyst shows a wide substrate scope and eminent functional group tolerance. The upscaled multigram synthesis using an inexpensive catalyst and easily available oxidant evidences the practical utility of the developed protocol. A plausible mechanism has been proposed with the help of a few controlled experiments, and kinetic and computational studies.

Abstract
In this report, we present the dual activation models for transient directing group-directed and amino-self-directed Pd-catalyzed α-aminophosphonate side-chain C(sp3)-H arylation. Both strategies showed facile, efficient, and single regioselectivity in the reaction between free α-aminophosphonates and aryl iodides. Furthermore, the modification of amino and late-stage functionalization of the C(sp3)-P bond from products indicates potential applications for α-aminophosphonates.

Abstract
A C-H arylation of thiopyran derivatives with aryl halides has been developed. Under the catalysis of Pd(OAc)2/Ag2CO3, the C-H arylation takes place at the α-position of the thiopyran ring. When dibromo-substituted compounds are used as reactants, double C-H arylations may occur on the same thiopyran ring at its α- and β-positions.

Abstract
Ketones are ubiquitous in bioactive natural products, pharmaceuticals, chemical feedstocks, and synthetic intermediates. Hence, deacylative coupling reactions enable the versatile elaboration of a plethora of chemicals to access complex drug candidates and natural products. Here, we present deacylative arylation and alkynylation strategies for the synthesis of a wide range of alkyl-tethered arenes and alkynes from cyclic ketones and methyl ketones under dual nickel/photoredox catalysis. This reaction begins by generating a pre-aromatic intermediate (PAI) through the condensation of the ketone and N'-methylpicolino-hydrazonamide (MPHA), followed by the oxidative cleavage of the PAI α-C─C bond to form an alkyl radical, which is subsequently intercepted by a Ni complex, facilitating the formation of diverse C(sp3)-C(sp2)/C(sp) bonds with remarkable generality. This protocol features a one-pot reaction capability, high regioselectivity and ring-opening efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group compatibility.

Abstract
The advancement of sustainable chemistry and changes in the economy are strongly intertwined. Reaction time, cost savings, moderate temperatures, and generation of the fewest byproducts are frequently achieved by using catalytic processes. Herein, we report the C-H olefination of imidazo[1,2a] pyridine carboxamides with various acrylates in the presence of Pd (OAc)2 with O2 as the oxidant in aqueous ethanol rather than using non-ecofriendly solvents. The C-H activation features most user-friendly reaction conditions, excellent yield as well as plenty substrate scope and applicable for C-H deuteriation of the corresponding heteroarenes with D2O. Experimental mechanistic studies indicate that C-H activation step succeeded after formation of tetra coordinated square planer Pd-substrate adduct.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed annulations of four-membered rings via C-C activation are powerful tools to construct complex fused and bridged ring systems. Despite significant progress in (4+1), (4+2) and (4+4) annulations, the (4+3) annulation remains unexplored. Herein, we develop an asymmetric Rh-catalyzed intramolecular (4+3) annulation of α-arylalkene-tethered benzocyclobutenols for the synthesis of dihydrofuran-annulated dibenzocycloheptanols with two discontinuous chiral carbon centers via a C-C and C-H activation cascade. The reaction features excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities and 100 % atom economy, and is applicable to late-stage modification of complex molecules.

Abstract
We report herein the development of palladium-catalyzed deacylative deuteration of arylketone oxime ethers. This protocol features excellent functional group tolerance, heterocyclic compatibility, and high deuterium incorporation levels. Regioselective deuteration of some biologically important drugs and natural products are showcased via Friedel-Crafts acylation and subsequent deacylative deuteration. Vicinal meta-C-H bond functionalization (including fluorination, arylation, and alkylation) and para-C-H bond deuteration of electro-rich arenes are realized by using the ketone as both directing group and leaving group, which is distinct from aryl halide in conventional dehalogenative deuteration.

Abstract
Herein, we provide eco-friendly and safely operated electrocatalytic methods for the selective oxidation directly or with water, air, light, metal catalyst or other mediators serving as the only oxygen supply. Heavy metals, stoichiometric chemical oxidants, or harsh conditions were drawbacks of earlier oxidative cleavage techniques. It has recently come to light that a crucial stage in the deconstruction of plastic waste and the utilization of biomass is the selective activation of inert C(sp3 )-C/H(sp3 ) bonds, which continues to be a significant obstacle in the chemical upcycling of resistant polyolefin waste. An appealing alternative to chemical oxidations using oxygen and catalysts is direct or indirect electrochemical conversion. An essential transition in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries is the electrochemical oxidation of C-H/C-C bonds. In this review, we discuss cutting-edge approaches to chemically recycle commercial plastics and feasible C-C/C-H bonds oxygenation routes for industrial scale-up.

Abstract
Selective cleavage and subsequent functionalization of C-C single bonds present a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Traditionally, the activation of C-C single bonds has been achieved using stoichiometric transition-metal complexes. Recently, examples of catalytic processes were developed in which use is made of precious metals. However, the use of inexpensive and Earth-abundant group IV metals for catalytic C-C single-bond cleavage is largely underdeveloped. Herein, the zirconium-catalyzed C-C single-bond cleavage and subsequent hydroboration reactions is realized using Cp2ZrCl2 as a catalytic system. A series of structures of various γ-boronated amines are readily obtained, which are otherwise difficult to obtain. Mechanistic studies disclose the formation of a N-ZrIV species, and then a β-carbon elimination route is responsible for C-C single bond activation. Besides zirconium, hafnium exhibits a similar performance for this transformation.

Abstract
A mild photoredox catalyzed construction of sulfides, disulfides, selenides, sulfoxides and sulfones from unstrained ketone precursors is introduced. Combination of this deacylative process with SN 2 or coupling reactions provides novel and convenient modular strategies toward unsymmetrical or symmetric disulfides. Reactivity studies favor a bromine radical that initiates a HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) from the aminal intermediate resulting in expulsion of a C-centered radical that is intercepted to make C-S and C-Se bonds. Gram scale reactions, broad substrate scope and tolerance towards various functional groups render this method appealing for future applications in the synthesis of organosulfur and selenium complexes.

Abstract
A palladium/norbornene (NBE)-catalyzed regioselective C-H silylation of free NH-indoles is reported. This protocol uses Pd(OAc)2 as the catalyst and Cu(OAc)2 as the oxidant, and the reaction relies on the control of NBE as a switch. The reaction tolerates various functional groups, and a series of silicon-containing indoles were directly synthesized in 30%-94% yields.

Abstract
A catalyst-free synthetic route to a new 1,2,4-triazole-pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine hybrid system, 6-acylpyrrolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c]pyrazine, was realized upon sequential exposure of pyrrole-2-carbonitrile-derived substrates to DMF-DMA and acyl hydrazide through which acylated pyrazine and 1,2,4-triazole rings were consecutively formed with the formation of multiple bonds (one C-C bond and three C-N bonds). This annulative functionalization approach towards N-fused polycycles enabled us to install various substituents at specific positions on the core skeleton.

Abstract
The utilization of a single-atom catalyst to break C-C bonds merges the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and presents an intriguing pathway for obtaining high-value-added products. Herein, a mild, selective, and sustainable oxidative cleavage of alkene to form oxime ether or nitrile was achieved by using atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst and hydroxylamine. Diversified substrate patterns, including symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes were demonstrated. The reaction was successfully scaled up and demonstrated good performance in recycling experiments. The hot filtration test, catalyst poisoning and radical scavenger experiment, time kinetics, and studies on the reaction intermediate collectively pointed to a radical mechanism with cobalt/acid/O2 promoted C-C bond cleavage as the key step.

Abstract
Preparation of diverse homologs from lead compounds has been a common and important practice in medicinal chemistry. However, homologation of carboxylic acid derivatives, particularly amides, remains challenging. Here we report a hook-and-slide strategy for homologation of tertiary amides with tunable lengths of the inserted carbon chain. Alkylation at the α-position of the amide (hook) is followed by highly selective branched-to-linear isomerization (slide) to effect amide migration to the end of the newly introduced alkyl chain; thus, the choice of alkylation reagent sets the homologation length. The key step involves a carbon-carbon bond activation process by a carbene-coordinated rhodium complex with assistance from a removable directing group. The approach is demonstrated for introduction of chains as long as 16 carbons and is applicable to derivatized carboxylic acids in complex bioactive molecules.

Abstract
As an important class of platform molecules, planar chiral ferrocene carbonyl compounds could be transformed into various functional groups offering facile synthesis of chiral ligands and catalysts. However, developing efficient and straightforward methods for accessing enantiopure planar chiral ferrocene carbonyl compounds, especially ferroceneformaldehydes, remains highly challenging. Herein, we report a rhodium(I)/phosphoramidite-catalyzed enantioselective C-H bond arylation of ferroceneformaldehydes. Readily available aryl halides such as aryl iodides, aryl bromides, and even aryl chlorides are suitable coupling partners in this transformation, leading to a series of planar chiral ferroceneformaldehydes in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 83% yield and >99% ee). The aldehyde group could be transformed into diverse functional groups smoothly, and enantiopure Ugi's amine and PPFA analogues could be synthesized efficiently. The latter was found to be a highly efficient ligand in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions. Mechanistic experiments supported the formation of imine intermediates as the key step during the reaction.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed C-H activation strategies provide an efficient approach for synthesis by minimizing atom, step, and redox economy. Developing milder, greener, and more effective protocols for these strategies is always highly desirable to the scientific community. In this study, the utilization of a single rhodium complex enabled the visible-light-induced late-stage C-H activation of biaryl-type phosphines with alkynyl bromides, employing inherent phosphorus atoms as directing groups. This chemistry combines P(III)-directed C-H activation with visible light photocatalysis, under exogenous photosensitizer-free conditions, offering a unique platform for ligand design and preparation. Furthermore, this study also explores the asymmetric catalysis and coordination chemistry of the resulting P-alkyne hybrid ligands with specific transition metals. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations demonstrate the mechanistic intricacies of this transformation.

Abstract
ConspectusC-C single bonds are ubiquitous in organic compounds. The activation and subsequent functionalization of C-C single bonds provide a unique opportunity to synthesize conventionally inaccessible molecules through the rearrangement of carbon skeletons, often with a favorable atom and step economy. However, the C-C bonds are thermodynamically and kinetically inert. Consequently, the activation of C-C bonds is particularly attractive yet challenging in the field of organic chemistry. In the past decade, we sought to develop efficient strategies to carry out transition-metal-catalyzed diverse C-C cleavage/C-C forming reactions and to obtain some insights into the intrinsic reactivities of different C-C bonds. With our efforts, readily available alcohols, carboxylic acids, and ketones served as suitable substrates for the catalytic C-C coupling reactions, which are reviewed in this Account. In 2009, we observed a Ni-catalyzed cross coupling of aryl nitriles with arylboronic esters through C-CN cleavage. Encouraged by these results, we are interested in transition-metal-catalyzed C-C bond activation. Due to their broad availability, we then turned our attention to C-C cleavage of carboxylic acids. Rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative coupling of carboxylic acids with (hetero)arenes was then achieved through oxidative addition of in situ formed, more reactive mixed anhydrides to Rh(I) without the need for oxidants that are commonly required for the decarboxylative coupling of carboxylic acids. Subsequently, the decarbonylation of more challenging unstrained aryl ketones was realized under Rh catalysis assisted by N-containing directing groups. Following this work, a group exchange of aryl ketones with carboxylic acids was achieved through 2-fold C-C bond cleavage. By employing the chelation strategy, Rh-catalyzed C-C bond activation of secondary benzyl alcohols was also accomplished through β-carbon elimination of the rhodium alcoholate intermediates. The competing oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones via β-hydrogen elimination of the same intermediates was suppressed as thermodynamically favorable five-membered rhodacycles are formed after β-carbon elimination. Different types of transformations of alcohols, including the Heck-type reaction with alkenes, cross coupling with arylsilanes, and Grignard-type addition with aldehydes or imines, have been achieved, showing the great potential of secondary alcohols in the formation of C-C bonds. These C-C bond-forming reactions are complementary to traditional cross couplings of aryl halides with organometallic reagents. However, these transformations produce small molecules as byproducts. To improve the atom economy, we then investigated C-C bond transformations of strained-ring cyclic compounds. Ni-catalyzed intermolecular cyclization of benzocyclobutenones with alkynes was recently achieved via the uncommon cleavage of the C1-C8 bond by employing a removable blocking strategy. Rh-catalyzed intramolecular annulation of benzocyclobutenols with alkynes was also achieved. In summary, our developments demonstrate the great potential of transition-metal-catalyzed C-C bond activation for the formation of new C-C bonds. To further expand the synthetic utility of C-C bond activation, more efforts are required to expand the substrate scope and to achieve earth-abundant metal-catalyzed transformations.

Abstract
A unique Pd-catalyzed approach for asymmetric (4+1) annulations via cascade allylation and transient σ-alkyl-Pd(II) initiated methylene Csp3 -H activation is reported. The enolate fragment derived from the decarboxylation of vinyl methylene carbonate is crucial to stabilize the key intermediate. These reactions enable the synthesis of various useful dihydrobenzofurans with excellent enantioselectivity, typically >95 : 5 er, and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity. Compared with the well-established annulations via Heck-type C-H activations, this protocol showcases a conceptually new way to generate σ-alkyl-Pd(II) species that could initiate challenging asymmetric Csp3 -H activations.

Abstract
In a metal-catalyzed oxidative addition, an oriented external electric field (EEF) catalyzes the reaction along one direction and inhibits it when applied in the opposite direction. Beyond a threshold value, the inhibitory direction becomes catalyzing by swapping the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) to ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) or vice versa. The change in direction of the charge-transfer mechanism triggers the inversion of the dipole moment along the reaction axis, that results in the resurgence of catalysis. The charge-transfer mechanism in metal-catalyzed oxidative addition is tunable by EEF.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed intermolecular selective C-H silylation of boronic acids is described. The combination of palladium catalyst with copper oxidant enables ortho-selective C-H silylation by employing hexamethyldisilane as the trimethylsilyl source, which relies on the control of NBE derivatives as a switch, thus providing straightforward access to divergent organosilicon compounds.

Abstract
Significant progress has been made in asymmetric synthesis through the use of transition metal catalysts combined with Lewis bases. However, the use of a dual catalytic system involving 4-aminopyridine and transition metal has received little attention. Here we show a metal/Lewis base relay catalytic system featuring silver acetate and a modified chiral pyrrolidinopyridine (PPY). It was successfully applied in the cycloisomerization/(2 + 3) cycloaddition reaction of enynamides. Bispirocyclopentene pyrazolone products could be efficiently synthesized in a stereoselective and economical manner (up to >19:1 dr, 99.5:0.5 er). Transformations of the product could access stereodivergent diastereoisomers and densely functionalized polycyclic derivatives. Mechanistic studies illustrated the relay catalytic model and the origin of the uncommon chemoselectivity. In subsequent bioassays, the products containing a privileged drug-like scaffold exhibited isoform-selective phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) inhibitory activity in vitro. The optimal lead compound displayed a good therapeutic effect for ameliorating pulmonary fibrosis via inhibiting PDE1 in vivo.

Abstract
The activation of Si-H bonds and/or Si-Si bonds in organosilicon compounds by transition-metal species plays a crucial role for the production of functional organosilicon compounds. Although group-10-metal species are frequently used to activate Si-H and/or Si-Si bonds, so far, systematic investigation to clarify the preferences of these metal species with respect to the activation of Si-H and/or Si-Si bonds remain elusive. Here, we report that platinum(0) species that bear isocyanide or N-heterocyclic-carbene (NHC) ligands selectively activates the terminal Si-H bonds of the linear tetrasilane Ph2(H)SiSiPh2SiPh2Si(H)Ph2 in a stepwise manner, whereby the Si-Si bonds remain intact. In contrast, analogous palladium(0) species are preferably inserted into the Si-Si bonds of the same linear tetrasilane, whereby the terminal Si-H bonds remain intact. Substitution of the terminal hydride groups in Ph2(H)SiSiPh2SiPh2Si(H)Ph2 with chloride groups leads to the insertion of platinum(0) isocyanide into all Si-Si bonds to afford an unprecedented zig-zag Pt4 cluster.

Abstract
Ligand-controlled nickel-catalyzed selective cleavage of the C1-C2 or C1-C8 bond of benzocyclobutenones (BCBs) is reported. The delicate selection of dpppe or PMe3 as the ligand led to predictably divergent synthesis of a wide range of 1-naphthols and 2-naphthols without C2 and C3 substituents, respectively, from BCBs and potassium alkynyltrifluoroborate, and the increase in the amount of PMe3 resulted in tandem reaction of 2 equiv of BCB with the borate to afford 3,4,5-trisubstituted 2-naphthols. The fabulous ligand effect resulted in the facile and unique construction of multisubstituted naphthols with well-controlled regioselectivity and a high degree of structural diversity.

Abstract
Herein we report the development of deacylative thiolation of diverse methyl ketones. The reaction is redox-neutral, and heavy-metal-free, which provides a new way to introduce thioether groups site-specifically to unactivated aliphatic positions. It also features excellent functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope, thus allowing late-stage derivatization. The process benefits from efficient condensation between the activation reagent and ketone substrates, which triggers aromatization-driven C-C fragmentation and rapid radical coupling with thiosulfonates. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of a radical chain pathway.

Abstract
An efficient and straightforward strategy for the synthesis of isoquinolones through [4 + 2]-annulation of N-chlorobenzamides with vinyl acetate in the presence of CoCp*(III) catalyst in a regioselective manner is described. Furthermore, the annulation reaction was diversified by using vinyl ketones. By utilizing this strategy, biologically valuable isoquinolone derivatives were prepared in good yields. Subsequently, isoquinolone derivatives were further transformed into 1-chloroisoquinolines in the presence of POCl3. Furthermore, mechanistic investigations such as deuterium labeling study and competition experiment were performed to support the proposed reaction mechanism.

Abstract
This work reports an intramolecular C(sp3)-H annulation of functionalized 2,6-lutidines catalyzed by an organocalcium hydride [{(DIPPnacnac)CaH(thf)}2] (DIPPnacnac = CH{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2-C6H3N)}2). This reaction constitutes a streamlined approach for producing a new family of tetrahydro-1,5-naphthyridines and hexahydropyrido[3,2-b]azocines derivatives in good to excellent yields with high atom efficiency and broad substrates scope. A calcium alkyl complex was isolated from the stoichiometric reaction between calcium hydride and the substrate through deprotonation, which was structurally characterized and confirmed as the catalytic intermediate.

Abstract
Activating the strong C-C σ-bond is a central problem in organic synthesis. Directly generating activated C centers by metalation of structures containing strained four-membered rings is one maneuver often employed in multistep syntheses. This usually requires high temperatures and/or precious transition metals. In this paper, we report an unprecedented C-C σ-bond activation at room temperature on Cu(111). By using bond-resolving scanning probe microscopy, we show the breaking of one of the C-C σ-bonds of a biphenylene derivative, followed by insertion of Cu from the substrate. Chemical characterization of the generated species was complemented by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy, and their reactivity was explained by density functional theory calculations. To gain further insight into this unique reactivity on other coinage metals, the reaction pathway on Ag(111) was also investigated and the results were compared with those on Cu(111). This study offers new synthetic routes that may be employed in the in situ generation of activated species for the on-surface synthesis of novel C-based nanostructures.

[PMID: 36479789 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202214584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Hemilabile ligands have been applied extensively in transition metal catalysis, but preparations of these molecules typically require multistep synthesis. Here, modular assembly of diverse phosphine-amide ligands, including related axially chiral compounds, is first reported through ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation of phosphines with isocyanate directed by phosphorus(III) atoms. High reactivity and regioselectivity can be obtained by using a Ru3 (CO)12 catalyst with a mono-N-protected amino acid ligand. This transformation significantly expands the pool of phosphine-amide ligands, some of which have shown excellent efficiency for asymmetric catalysis. More broadly, the discovery constitutes a proof of principle for facile construction of hemilabile ligands directly from the parent monodentate phosphines by C-H activation with ideal atom, step and redox economy. Several dinuclear ruthenium complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealing the key mechanistic features of this transformation.

Abstract
Directing groups are a common strategy to target traditionally inert bonds, with an easily removable directing group being ideal. Herein we disclose our method for rhodium-catalyzed C-O bond functionalization of N-pyridylimidates using a recyclable and traceless amine directing group. In addition to the substrate scope, we discuss the behavior of this class of compounds and how that behavior affects their reactivity.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed the emergence of innovative synthetic tools for the synthesis of fluorinated molecules. Among these approaches, the transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of various scaffolds with a panel of fluorinated groups (XRF, X = S, Se, O) offered straightforward access to high value-added compounds. This review will highlight the main advances made in the field with the transition-metal-catalyzed functionalization of C(sp2) and C(sp3) centers with SCF3, SeCF3, or OCH2CF3 groups among others, by C-H bond activation. The scope and limitations of these transformations are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Chiral primary α-amino amides, consisting of an adjacent enamine bonding site (Bronsted base site), a hydrogen bonding site (Bronsted acid site), and flexible bulky substituent groups to modify the steric factor, are proving to be extremely valuable bifunctional organocatalysts for a wide range of asymmetric organic transformations. Primary α-amino amides are less expensive alternatives to other primary amino organocatalysts, such as chiral diamines and cinchona-alkaloid-derived primary amines, as they are easy to synthesize, air-stable, and allow for the incorporation of a variety of functional groups. In recent years, we have demonstrated the catalytic use of simple primary α-amino amides and their derivatives as organocatalysts for the aldol reaction, Strecker reaction, Michael tandem reaction, allylation of aldehydes, reduction of N-Aryl mines, opening of epoxides, hydrosilylation, asymmetric hydrogen transfer, and N-specific nitrosobenzene reaction with aldehydes.

Abstract
A density functional theory study of copper-mediated dehydroacylation of 4-phenyl-2-butanone to the corresponding olefin reveals a flexible N-H transfer process and a metal-independent C-C cleavage mechanism. When N'-methylpicolinohydrazonamide (MPHA) acts as the activating reagent, N-H cleavage can easily take place via stepwise proton transfer/electron transfer (PT/ET) and the rate-determining step is C-C homolysis with a total free energy barrier of 22.6 kcal mol-1, which is consistent with experimental observation of no kinetic isotope effects (KIE) at β-H. Besides, copper is found to have little influence on C-C cleavage, but is responsible for triggering single electron oxidation of the pre-aromatic intermediate (PAI). When replacing MPHA with picolinohydrazonamide (PHA), the second N-H transfer is 2.7 kcal mol-1 more favorable than C-C cleavage and dominates the pathway to aromatization, which explains there being no C-C cleavage product well. When N'-methylbenzohydrazonamide (MBHA) is adopted, the lack of pyridine coordination significantly reduces the stability of CuII and N-H transfer proceeds via a much more difficult proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway, thus making N-H cleavage a rate-determining step with a total free energy barrier of up to 28.1 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
Electrochemical C-H functionalizations are attractive transformations, as they are capable of avoiding the use of transition metals, pre-oxidized precursors, or suprastoichiometric amounts of terminal oxidants. Herein an electrochemically tunable method was developed that enabled the divergent formation of cyclic amines or imines by applying different reaction potentials. Detailed cyclic voltammetry analyses, coupled with chronopotentiometry experiments, were carried out to provide insight into the mechanism, while atom economy was assessed through a paired electrolysis. Selective C-H amidations and imidations were achieved to afford five- to seven-membered sulfonamide motifs that could be employed for late-stage modifications.

Abstract
Given the emerging demand to "escape from flatland" for drug discovery, synthetic methods that can efficiently construct complex three-dimensional structures with multi-stereocenters become increasingly valuable. Here, we describe the development of Rh(I)-catalyzed intramolecular annulations between cyclobutanones and 1,5-enyne groups to construct complex C(sp3)-rich scaffolds. Divergent reactivities are realized with different catalysts, and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity have been achieved. The use of (R)-H8-binap as the ligand favors forming the bis-bicyclic scaffolds with multiple quaternary stereocenters, while the (R)-segphos ligand prefers to generate the tetrahydro-azapinone products. Owing to the versatile reactivity of ketone moieties, these C(sp3)-rich scaffolds can be further functionalized. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies support a reaction pathway involving enyne-cyclometallation, 1,2-carbonyl addition, and then β-carbon elimination; the divergent reactivities are dictated by a product-determining Rh-alkyl migratory insertion step.
