Utilizing molecular conformation as a controlling factor, epoxide-containing 2-aryl-piperidines can be ring-opened with the reagent combination of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) and potassium bifluoride (KHF2) in a regioselective and divergent fashion. Four different types of hydroxylated fluoro-piperidines, valuable building blocks in drug development, were readily synthesized using this method. The basic nature of the reagent combination allowed a one-pot deprotection/ring opening process, which increased the efficacy of this transformation.

BN-fused aromatic compounds have garnered significant attention due to their unique electronic structures and exceptional photophysical properties, positioning them as highly promising candidates for applications in organic optoelectronics. However, the regioselective synthesis of BN isomers remains a formidable challenge, primarily stemming from the difficulty in precisely controlling reaction sites, limiting structural diversity and property tunability. Herein, we propose a regioselective synthetic strategy that employs 2,1-BN-naphthalene derivatives, wherein selective activation of N-H and C-H bonds is achieved in conjunction with -halogenated phenylboronic acids.

Herein, we report a regioselective [4 + 2] benzannulation strategy for the efficient synthesis of -terphenyls and naphthalenes from vinyl sulfoxonium ylides, thiophenols, and electron-deficient alkynes. The selectivity of the benzannulation is governed by the nature of the ylide's stabilizing group. This modular approach features a broad substrate scope and enables streamlined access to highly substituted arenes with significant synthetic versatility.

Amidst nature's repertoire of small molecule architectures, indole alkaloid-derived privileged scaffolds continuously support innovation in bioactive compound discovery and propel fragment-based drug design. Herein, we realized a metal-free, site-selective, and chemo- and regioselective cross-nucleophile coupling cascade of pluripotent indole-enamine-aniline intermediates by use of λ-iodane-mediated umpolung chemistry. The protocol is applicable toward the divergent synthesis of valuable benzo[]indolo[3,2-][2,6]naphthyridines and azepino[4,5-]indoles, which are very important privileged scaffolds in communesin-, peroforamidine-, and iboga-type alkaloids.

We present, for the first time, a highly regio- and stereoselective ligand-divergent hydrosilylation reaction. The methodology produces diverse amido-vinyl silanes from readily available propynamides. Employing platinum catalysis utilizing commercially available ligands, silyl-α,β-unsaturated amides are produced in synthetically useful yields (up to 91%).

The selective modification of carbohydrates to achieve structural complexity has emerged as a crucial strategy in carbohydrate-based drug development. However, the intricate stereochemistry and densely packed functional groups of carbohydrates pose significant challenges for precise stereoselectivity and regioselectivity control. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed, stereospecific, and ligand-controlled regiodivergent glycosyl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 3-boryl-glycals, establishing a robust platform for glycoside diversification with versatile C1 and C3 modification.
