Article Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective functionalization of ubiquitous C-H bonds has proven to be promising field as it offers the construction of chiral molecular complexity in a step- and atom-economical manner. In recent years, gold has emerged as an attractive contender for catalyzing such reactions. The unique reactivities and selectivities offered by gold catalysts have been exploited to access numerous asymmetric transformations based on gold-catalyzed C-H functionalization processes. Herein, this review critically highlights the major advances and discoveries made in the enantioselective C-H functionalization under gold catalysis which is accompanied by mechanistic insights at appropriate places.

Electrochemical Copper Catalysis: A Triple Catalytic System for Transient C(sp)-H Functionalization through Mediated Electrolysis.

The development of copper-catalyzed C-H functionalization processes is challenging due to the inefficiency of conventional chemical oxidants in regenerating the copper catalyst. This study details the development of a mediated electrosynthetic approach involving triple catalytic cycles in transient C-H functionalization to achieve efficient copper-catalyzed C-(sp)-H sulfonylation of benzylamines with sodium sulfinate salts. The triple catalytic system consists of a copper organometallic cycle for C-H functionalization, an aldehyde transient directing group (TDG) as an organocatalyst for imine formation, and a ferrocenium salt as an electrocatalyst.

We describe a photomediated protocol for the trifluoromethoxylation of benzylic, aldehydic, and non-activated C-H bonds, using bis(trifluoromethyl)peroxide (BTMP, (FCO)) as the key reagent. Under catalyst-free conditions in acetone, this reaction proceeds with selective functionalization of benzylic methylene groups. Furthermore, by using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate as a photocatalyst, the scope extends to include both non-activated methylene C(sp)-H and formyl C(sp)-H bonds.

A simple yet efficient method involving a visible-light-induced direct, regioselective chalcogenation of indoloquinoxaline derivatives has been developed. Thiols, disulfides and diselenides were found to be efficient as chalcogenating agents in the presence of Rose Bengal as a photosensitizer. This photoinduced C-H functionalization a cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) protocol was carried out at ambient temperature under an open-air atmosphere.

[2,1]-Azaboranaphthalenes represent unique boron-nitrogen (BN) isosteres of naphthalenes, attracting interest for the development of molecules with enhanced therapeutic potency. The existing synthetic strategies are generally two-component reactions with harsh conditions. Here we report an organocatalysed three-component modular synthesis of ring-fused BN isosteres and BN-2,1-azaboranaphthalenes following ring expansion of unstrained cyclic ketones (n = 4-8) via Wolff-type rearrangement.
