Summary: In this study, a first catalytic protocol for nickel-catalyzed ortho or para position difluoromethylation of various aromatic amines was developed with the assistance of a bidentate phosphine ligand. This method offers an invaluable synthesis means to construct extensive p-difluoromethylated products and difluorooxindole derivatives with significant functional fragments. The gram-scale reaction, broad substrate scope, excellent functional-group compatibility, late-stage difluoromethylation of pesticides, and even formal synthesis of HDAC6 inhibitors further demonstrate the usefulness of this method.

Summary: Here we report a method for the synthesis of pi-expanded coumarin derivatives through selective C-H alkenylation. The use of an anionic thioether ligand is crucial for achieving high reactivity, allowing for low catalyst loadings, mild reaction conditions, and the use of green solvents. This method is applicable to naphthol-based aromatic substrates, regardless of whether they contain electron-donating or electron-withdrawing functional groups.

Summary: Iridium-catalyzed borylations of aromatic C-H bonds allow for the synthesis of a wide variety of ortho-borylated derivatives. A subtle change in the bipyridine ligand, introducing a CF3 substituent at position 5, enables a complete change of regioselectivity in the borylation of aromatic amides. Computational studies suggest that this regio- and chemoselectivity is due to unusual outer-sphere interactions between the amide group of the substrate and the CF3-substituted aryl ring of the bipyridine ligand.

Summary: In this study, oxidative borylation at the distal delta-position of aliphatic amines was achieved using various borylating agents, a palladium catalyst, and a properly tuned ligand in the presence of a cheap oxidant. Furthermore, an organopalladium delta-C(sp(3))-H-activated intermediate was isolated and crystallographically characterized to gain mechanistic insight.

Summary: Herein, we report a tunable meta- and para-selective C-H borylation of aryl sulfonyl compounds enabled by computationally designed ligands and iridium catalyst. This method is capable of accommodating a broad range of substrates under mild reaction conditions and can achieve gram-scale preparation with low iridium catalyst loading. Our method provides a general solution to installing functional groups at either meta- or para-position of aryl sulfones and aryl sulfonamides with good to excellent selectivity.

Summary: The discovery of a ligand scaffold containing a remote amide motif that can form a favorable hydrogen bonding interaction with the aliphatic acid substrate is reported. This ligand scaffold is used in the development of an unprecedented C(sp(3))-H bromination of α-tertiary and α-quaternary free carboxylic acids, which exhibits high mono-selectivity. The geometric relationship between the NHAc hydrogen bond donor and the coordinating quinoline ligand is crucial for the formation of the macrocyclic-like hydrogen bonding interaction, providing a guideline for future catalyst design using secondary interactions.

Summary: The development of C(sp(3))-H functionalizations of free carboxylic acids has provided a wide range of versatile reactions, enabling convenient synthesis of cyclic anhydrides using Mo(CO)(6) as a solid CO source and a bidentate ligand. Succinic anhydride products serve as versatile intermediates for introducing various functional groups at the beta position of parent acids, offering a divergent strategy for synthesizing carboxylic acids inaccessible by previous beta-C-H activation reactions. Furthermore, enantioselective carbonylation of free cyclopropanecarboxylic acids has been achieved using a chiral bidentate thioether ligand.

Summary: Cobalt precatalysts for the meta-selective borylation of fluorinated arenes were developed, achieving high turnover and selectivity under optimized conditions. Deuterium kinetic isotope effects and stoichiometric experiments provided insights into the C-H activation step and the intermediate involved in catalysis. The results support kinetic control of C-H activation as the origin of meta-selectivity.

Summary: The first total synthesis of (-)-kopsifoline A and (+)-kopsifoline E was achieved in this study, featuring a biogenetically inspired regioselective C17-functionalization strategy for a versatile intermediate. The vinylogous urethane substructure of the intermediate allowed for the synthesis of (-)-kopsifoline D via C3-C21 bond formation under Mitsunobu reaction conditions, as well as selective C17-functionalization en route to (-)-kopsifoline A and (+)-kopsifoline E.

Summary: Regioselective and site-selective functionalization of distal C-H bonds has been a challenge due to the impact of covalently attached directing groups. Weak non-covalent interactions have been explored with Ir catalysis, but here we demonstrate a Pd-catalyzed meta-selective C-H functionalization of simple amines using anionic ligand and neutral substrate interactions. The site selectivity is governed by the H-bonding interaction between the anionic donating ligand and neutral motifs.
