Summary: A new straightforward approach to synthesizing 1-aryl-2-aminopropanes has been developed using a simple and accessible substrate. This approach involves cascade reactions with arenes and sulfonamide nucleophiles catalyzed by Cu(OTf)(2), resulting in regioselective formation of 1-aryl-2-aminopropanes. The reaction is expected to proceed through a Friedel-Crafts-type allylation of the arene followed by hydroamination.

Summary: The free radical cyclization reaction is a promising strategy for the formation of ring frameworks. In this study, we report a copper-catalyzed tandem radical cyclization strategy for preparing substituted lactam derivatives. This reaction utilizes a radical coupling approach, allowing a wide range of alkenes and being compatible with primary, secondary, and tertiary radicals. Density functional theory calculations were also performed to gain insights into the reaction mechanism.

Summary: We have developed a new iron-catalyzed reaction for converting alkyl iodides into alkylzinc iodides. The reaction exhibits diastereoselective ring closures when a remote double bond is present at position 5. Furthermore, the resulting zinc reagents can be further reacted with various electrophiles under copper or palladium catalysis to provide diverse polyfunctional products.

Summary: This research has achieved a selective palladium-catalyzed reaction sequence, leading to the synthesis of novel 2-iodo-1-aryl-9H-carbazoles. The observed formation of 2-iodocarbazoles in contrast to gold catalysis suggests a metal-controlled cyclization through chemo- and regioselective alkyl migration and iodonium migration.

Summary: This study describes a copper-catalyzed, highly enantioselective alkyl and aryl/azolation of alkenes, where the use of a specific chiral ligand plays a crucial role in the success of the chemistry. Anionic tridentate ligands are employed to enhance the reducibility of copper complexes, facilitating the generation of alkyl/aryl radicals and providing good enantiocontrol in the azolation. The three-component coupling reactions have mild reaction conditions and can tolerate a broad range of functional groups, allowing for the straightforward introduction of valuable azole functionalities into complex molecular systems through direct C-H functionalization.

Summary: A redox-neutral C-H/N-H annulation of anilines with allenes and dienes was achieved using a scandium catalyst with a simple beta-diketiminato ligand. The reaction selectively produced a family of tetrahydroquinolines in high isolated yields, with both allene and diene coupling partners serving as three-carbon building blocks. Mechanistic investigations suggested a reaction pathway involving N-H allylation, Hofmann-Martius rearrangement, and hydroamination cyclization.

Summary: A new catalytic blueprint was reported in this study, merging the modularity of nickel catalysis for bond formation with the ability to enable a rather elusive 1,4-hydride shift at arene sp(2) C-H sites, thus allowing access to ipso/ortho-difunctionalized arenes from readily available aryl halides under mild conditions and exquisite selectivity profile.

Summary: The reaction of GaX3 with the phosphorus-centered trisphenol (2-HO-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)3P affords cage-shaped phosphonium trisphenolates XGa{(2-O-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)3PH} (X = Et, 2; Cl, 3). These new compounds are isostructural with the previously reported aluminum analogs and have longer M-O bonds due to lower Ga-O bond polarity. Compound 2 was further characterized by crystal structure determination. Attempts to alcoholize the Ga-Et group in 2 and to abstract the ethide group with trityl salt or Me3SiOTf were unsuccessful, possibly due to the lower polarity of Ga-C bonds.

Summary: Researching carbon dioxide removal from flue gas and natural gas is crucial. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are commonly used in adsorption due to their high surface area, porosity, and chemical properties. An ultra-microporous MOF CPM-20(Co) with mixed ligand was synthesized using inexpensive ligands. The material exhibited high selectivities and low regenerative energy, making it a promising option for CO2 separation in industries.
