Article Abstract
The synthesis of a small library of -Boc- or -Fmoc-protected l-phenylalanines carrying methyl groups at positions 2 and 6 and diverse functionalities at position 4 has been achieved. The approach, which took advantage of a Pd-catalyzed directed C-H dimethylation of picolinamide derivatives, allowed the electronic and steric properties of the resulting amino acid derivatives to be altered by appending a variety of electron-withdrawing, electron-donating, or bulky groups.

Iron(III)-Mediated C-H Alkylation: One-Electron Differentiation Increases Activity and Chemoselectivity.

The C-H functionalization of arenes mediated by well-defined bis(phosphine)-supported organometallic iron(III) complexes is described. One-electron oxidation of -(depe)Fe(CH) (depe = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) generated the corresponding isolable iron(III) dimethyl derivative that was unstable toward Fe-CH homolysis. Oxidation of the corresponding iron(II) bis(aryl) complex -(depe)Fe(tolyl) resulted in rapid reductive elimination of the biaryl with formation of iron(I).

In this study, we introduce a protocol for the methylation of the C-H bond at the C position in imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds, employing magnetic def./Cu-MOF for the activation of C(sp2)-H bonds. The term 'def' refers to strategically induced defects in the Metal-Organic Framework (MOF), which are designed to improve its catalytic efficiency.

Conformers can interconvert when the transition state lies sufficiently low in energy. Nevertheless, the transition-state geometry is minimally populated or intrinsically unpopulated in solution, making its isolation in the solid state extremely challenging. A tetraaza derivative of anthraquinodimethane bearing vicinal dimethyl groups exhibits high conformational flexibility.

Glycerol can be efficiently converted to dihydroxyacetone using organometallic Pd catalysts. However, the entire catalytic cycle and reaction mechanism have not been comprehensively studied. In this work, we performed detailed theoretical calculations of the mechanism of glycerol conversion to dihydroxyacetone catalyzed by the Pd/2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline complex.

Herein, we report a visible-light-induced -selective C-H hydroxylation of benzils, which exhibits good functional group tolerance and excellent regioselectivity. This method is scalable, as demonstrated by gram-scale experiments, and is further applied in the synthesis of rotenoids. Control experiments reveal the involvement of singlet oxygen in the reaction mechanism.
