Article Abstract
The highly regioselective iron-catalyzed formal hydrofunctionalization of styrene derivatives with a diverse range of electrophiles has been developed using a single, operationally simple hydromagnesiation procedure and only commercially available, bench-stable reagents. Using just 0.5 mol % FeCl2·4H2O and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, hydromagnesiation and electrophilic trapping have been used to form new carbon-carbon bonds (13 examples) and carbon-heteroatom bonds (5 examples) including the products of formal cross-coupling reactions, hydroboration, hydroamination, hydrosilylation, and hydrofluorination.

Herein, we describe a photocatalytic strategy for decyanative hydrofunctionalization of styrenes with α-heteroatom-substituted acetonitriles. This strategy facilitates the generation of α-heteroatom methyl radicals from acetonitriles through cyano group transfer (CGT) enabled by amine-ligated boryl radicals. The broad applicability of this method is demonstrated by its successful application in late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds.

Redox-active quinoline-containing [Ni(2PyN2Q) (HO)] complex () has been developed for the electrocatalytic () hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the presence of organic acids and water and for the hydrogen-atom-transfer (HAT) reaction with styrene in the presence of acids. Complex shows promising e-HER performance in water up to pH 9. It exhibits a stepwise (E)ECEC mechanism with AcOH, while a potential-dependent bimolecular homolytic pathway and CEEC mechanism is operative with -toluene sulfonic acid during the e-HER.

The electrochemical generation of radical anions from feedstock olefins offers a selective and efficient route for synthesizing commodity chemicals and pharmaceutical precursors via hydrofunctionalization. Traditional methods for electrochemical olefin hydrofunctionalization, for example, hydrocarboxylation, rely on anion intermediates and follow an electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical-chemical (ECEC) mechanism involving olefin reduction, carboxylation, further reduction, and protonation. Enhancing terminal carboxylate selectivity often requires a proton source, reducing functional group tolerance and favoring proton reduction over olefin reduction.

The ligand-free Lewis acid-mediated regioselective hydroamination and hydroarylation of styrenes have been successfully developed in the presence of isatins or heterocyclic aryl compounds such as benzothiophenes and benzofurans. The reactions tolerate a variety of functional groups and afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Deuterium labeling experiments show that the functionalized hydrogen of styrenes was derived from the nitrogen-hydrogen of the substrates in the hydroamination.

Porous materials-based heterogeneous photocatalysts, performing selective organic transformations, are increasing the applicability of photocatalytic reactions due to their ability to merge traditional photocatalysis with structured pores densely decorated with catalytic moiety for efficient mass and charge transfer, as well as added recyclability. We herein disclose a porous crystalline covalent triazine framework (CTF)-based heterogeneous photocatalyst that exhibits excellent photoredox properties for different hydrofunctionalization reactions such as hydrocarboxylations, hydroamination and hydroazidations. The high oxidizing property of this CTF enables the activation of styrenes, followed by regioselective C-N and C-O bond formation at ambient conditions.
