Summary: A highly chemo- and regioselective decarboxylative Heck-type coupling of carboxylic acids and terminal olefins was achieved using a catalytic system composed of Pd(OAc)(2) in the presence of phosphine-sulfonamido ligands. The bulky ligand L1 favored the formation of 1,1-disubstituted branched olefins with high selectivity, while the less bulky ligand L2 resulted in the formation of 1,2-disubstituted linear products in high yield. Detailed mechanistic investigation revealed that the aryl substituent at the sulfonamide group of ligand L1 favored 1,2-insertion, while the less bulky ligand L2 favored 2,1-insertion.

Summary: Here, an efficient and green paired electrolysis strategy for decarboxylative coupling of alkenyl acids with diazo compounds is reported, providing a wide range of beta,gamma-alkenyl esters and amides. The method exhibits high stereoselectivity and avoids the use of transition metals and chemical redox regents. Additionally, the protocol allows for the easy synthesis of dideuterated products with a high deuterium incorporation level (93-99% D-inc.) by directly utilizing D2O, highlighting its significant value.

Summary: In the presence of [p-cymene)RuCl2](2), (E)-configured alkenyl bromides coupled with aromatic carboxylates to form orthovinylbenzoic acids in high yields, showing excellent functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies revealed that the selectivity of this reaction is due to (E)-configured alkenyl bromides undergoing smooth coupling while the (Z)-isomers are rapidly eliminated to form alkynes.

Summary: Describes the synthesis and fluorescent properties of benzotriazole-derived alpha-amino acids that mimic L-tryptophan. Alkynyl-substituted analogues were prepared using nucleophilic aromatic substitution, benzotriazole formation via diazotization and cyclization, and a Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. E-Alkenyl-substituted benzotriazoles were accessed by hydrogenation of alkynes. The alkynyl analogues showed higher quantum yields, stronger brightness, and solvatochromic sensitivity to polarity.

Summary: In this study, we developed an electrophotochemical metal-catalyzed protocol for direct asymmetric decarboxylative cyanation of aliphatic carboxylic acids. By utilizing the synergistic merging of electrophotochemical cerium catalysis and asymmetric electrochemical copper catalysis, mild reaction conditions were achieved for the formation and utilization of carbon-centered radicals. This environmentally benign method smoothly converts a diverse array of arylacetic acids into the corresponding alkyl nitriles in good yields and enantioselectivities without using chemical oxidants or pre-functionalization of the acid substrates and can be readily scaled up.

Summary: In this study, a dual photo/nickel catalytic manifold was described, which includes a complementary sequence involving free radical generation, radical sorting via selective binding to a Ni(II) center, and bimolecular homolytic substitution (S(H)2) at a high-valent nickel-alkyl complex. This catalytic manifold enables the elusive cross-coupling of diverse aliphatic carboxylic acids to generate valuable C(sp(3))-C(sp(3))-products. The discovery provides important insights for addressing the long-standing challenge in fragment coupling chemistry.

Summary: The synthesis of (deuterated) 1,1-disubstituted alkenes via Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative hydroarylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids with arylboronic acids has been developed. The reaction features excellent regioselectivity, a broad substrate scope and gram-scale synthetic ability and offers a general synthetic method to synthesize 1,1-dideuterio olefins. Preliminary mechanism investigations indicate that 1,1-disubstituted alkenes are formed by hydroarylation of terminal alkynes generated by in situ decarboxylation of alkynyl carboxylic acids.

Summary: Nickel-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling of indole-3-acetic acids with aryl bromides was achieved using convergent paired electrolysis in an undivided cell. This protocol exhibits good functional group tolerance and does not require chemical redox agents or sacrificial electrodes. Mechanistic studies indicate that the base is essential for decarboxylation and that a Ni-I/Ni-III catalytic cycle is involved in this transformation.
