Summary: A novel Pd-0-catalyzed [2+2+1] annulation was proposed for the rapid assembly of tricyclic indoles in a single-step transformation. Experimental results showed that large tert-butyl and benzyl groups were selectively cleaved via an S(N)1 pathway in the presence of smaller alkyl groups.

Summary: A novel Pd-catalyzed reaction has been developed for selective alkynylallylation of specific C-C sigma bonds in cyclopropenes, providing an efficient approach to highly functionalized dienynes. The reaction features fascinating atom and step economy and can produce gram-scale products using a simple, neutral, and low-cost catalytic system with high TONs. DFT calculations suggest that the success of the reaction relies on the selective insertion of cyclopropene double bonds into the C-Pd bond of ambidentate Pd complex and subsequent nonclassical beta-C elimination.

Summary: A novel radical cross-coupling/cyclization method has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of structurally diverse methylthio-substituted indolizine compounds. In this process, sulfoxonium ylides undergo disproportionation to produce a new type of indolizine derivative, revealing that DMSO does not drop off from sulfoxonium ylides.

Summary: The rhodium-catalyzed dealkenylative arylation of alkenes with arylboronic compounds provides an unconventional access to bi(hetero)aryls with excellent chemoselectivity. This method enables the cleavage of C(aryl)-C(alkenyl) and C(alkenyl)-C(alkenyl) bonds in various alkenes and 1,3-dienes, leading to the efficient construction of novel organic fluorescent molecules with excellent photophysical properties.

Summary: Cellular DNA consists of four canonical nucleosides and 5-methylcytosine, with stem cells' genome containing three additional dC derivatives formed through oxidation reactions. These derivatives are believed to undergo a cycle of methylation, oxidation, and conversion back to dC within the genome.

Summary: In this study, a point-to-axial chirality transfer reaction of optical dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols was reported for the synthesis of axially chiral diketones. Two sets of conditions, basic tBuOK/air atmosphere and acidic NaClO/n-Bu4NHSO4, were developed to achieve oxidative cleavage of the C-C bond, leading to the formation of axially chiral biaryl diketones. Finally, the synthetic applications of the obtained chiral aryl diketones were demonstrated briefly.

Summary: A method for allylic amination using photoredox activation and Cu(II)-mediated radical-polar crossover is described. This strategy allows the synthesis of a range of structurally varied allylic amines. The regioselectivity of this process complements that of conventional methods for allylic amination.

Summary: In this study, a palladium-catalyzed 'on-water' methodology for the synthesis of biaryl and m-teraryl derivatives of aryl carboxamides by selective mono and bis C-H bond functionalization is reported. The reaction was carried out using 8-aminoquinoline and 2-thiomethylaniline as directing groups and water as the solvent, resulting in high yields of the functionalized products. The insoluble nature of the products in water allowed for the reusability of the solvent and catalyst.

Summary: In this study, two newly synthesized salen-type ligands were investigated for their metal mediated non-innocence chemistry. Ligand H2L1 showed C-S bond cleavage upon metallation and formed a stable metal complex, while ligand H4L2 underwent slow oxidation via C-H bond activation under aerobic conditions. The results provide insights into the reactivity of these ligands and their potential applications.

Summary: A [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of indanone-derived nitrones and alkynes under mild conditions was developed for facile synthesis of spirocyclic indenyl isoxazolines with structural diversity. The sequential generation of in situ ketonitrone from unsaturated ketones and N-alkylhydroxylamines achieved the desired products with moderate to good diastereoselectivity. Additionally, the spirocyclic product could be conveniently transformed into indenyl-based allylic alcohol and enamide.

Summary: A ligand-free Cu-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of polysubstituted quinolines via the oxidative cyclization of oxime acetates with 2-aminobenzyl alcohols has been developed at room temperature. This method provides good functional group tolerance under mild conditions and can be applied for the preparation of quinolines on a gram scale. Oxime acetates serve as internal oxidants in the reactions, making this method very attractive.
