Abstract
Hydride transfer (HT) is a fundamental step in a wide range of reaction pathways, including those mediated by dihydropyridinates (DHP-s). Coordination of ions directly to the pyridine ring or functional groups stemming therefrom, provides a powerful approach for influencing the electronic structure and in turn HT chemistry. Much of the work in this area is inspired by the chemistry of bioinorganic systems including NADH. Coordination of metal ions to pyridines lowers the electron density in the pyridine ring and lowers the reduction potential: lower-energy reactions and enhanced selectivity are two outcomes from these modifications. Herein, we discuss approaches for the preparation of DHP-metal complexes and selected examples of their reactivity. We suggest further areas in which these metallated DHP-s could be developed and applied in synthesis and catalysis.

Abstract
In this work, kinetic studies on HEH2, 2-benzylmalononitrile, 2-benzyl-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione, 5-benzyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione, 5-benzyl-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, 2-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)malononitrile, ethyl 2-cyano-2-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)acetate, diethyl 2-(9H-fluoren-9-yl)malonate, and the derivatives (28 XH2) releasing two hydrogen atoms were carried out. The thermokinetic parameters ΔG ⧧° of 28 dihydrogen donors (XH2) and the corresponding hydrogen atom acceptors (XH•) in acetonitrile at 298 K were determined. The abilities of releasing two hydrogen atoms for these organic dihydrogen donors were researched using their thermokinetic parameters ΔG ⧧°(XH2), which can be used not only to compare the H-donating ability of different XH2 qualitatively and quantitatively but also to predict the rates of HAT reactions. Predictions of rate constants for 12 HAT reactions using thermokinetic parameters were determined, and the reliabilities of the predicted results were also examined.

Abstract
Achieving C3-selective pyridine functionalization is a longstanding challenge in organic chemistry. The existing methods, including electrophilic aromatic substitution and C-H activation, often require harsh reaction conditions and excess pyridine and generate multiple regioisomers. Herein, we report a method for borane-catalyzed tandem reactions that result in exclusively C3-selective alkylation of pyridines. These tandem reactions consist of pyridine hydroboration, nucleophilic addition of the resulting dihydropyridine to an imine, an aldehyde, or a ketone, and subsequent oxidative aromatization. Because the pyridine is the limiting reactant and the reaction conditions are mild, this method constitutes a practical tool for late-stage functionalization of structurally complex pharmaceuticals bearing a pyridine moiety.

Abstract
In this work, thermodynamic driving forces on 20 possible elementary steps of Hantzsch ester (HEH2), benzothiazoline (BTH2), and dihydrophenanthridine (PDH2) releasing two hydrogen atoms or ions were measured or derived from the related thermodynamic data using Hess' law in acetonitrile. Furthermore, thermodynamic network cards of HEH2, BTH2, and PDH2 releasing two hydrogen atoms or ions on 20 elementary steps were first established. Based on the thermodynamic network cards, hydride-donating, hydrogen-atom-donating, and electron-donating abilities of XH2 and XH-, and two hydrogen-atom(ion)-donating abilities of XH2 are discussed in detail. Obviously, the thermodynamic network cards of HEH2, BTH2, and PDH2 not only offer rational data guidance for organic synthetic chemists to properly choose an appropriate reducer among the three reducing agents to hydrogenate various unsaturated compounds but also strongly promote elucidatation of the detailed hydrogenation mechanisms.

Abstract
Recently, a variety of 4-substituted Hantzsch esters (XRH) with different structures have been widely researched as alkylation reagents in chemical reactions, and the key step of the chemical process is the elementary step of XRH˙+ releasing R˙. The purpose of this work is to investigate the essential factors which determine whether or not an XRH is a great alkylation reagent using density functional theory (DFT). This study shows that the ability of an XRH acting as an alkylation reagent can be reasonably estimated by its ΔG≠RD(XRH˙+) value, which can be conveniently obtained through DFT computations. Moreover, the data also show that ΔG≠RD(XRH˙+) has no simple correlation with the structural features of XRH, including the electronegativity of the R substituent group and the magnitude of steric resistance; therefore, it is difficult to judge whether an XRH can provide R˙ solely by experience. Thus, these results are helpful for chemists to design 4-substituted Hantzsch esters (XRH) with novel structures and to guide the application of XRH as a free radical precursor in organic synthesis. This work presents a convenient computation method to estimate whether a 4-substituted Hantzsch ester can be a good alkyl radical donor.![]()
