Article Abstract
We have developed an effective photochemical method for site-selective (hetero)arylation of polychlorinated heteroarenes. This approach eliminates the need for transition metal catalysts and photosensitizers by relying on formation of unconventional electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes between two substrates and a basic additive. Our protocol yields chlorine-containing biaryl heterocyclic compounds with high levels of site-selectivity, which are of significant importance in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

The chemistry of site-selective C-H heteroarylation of aliphatic aldehydes is highly valuable, yet it remains inadequately explored. Hence, we demonstrated that aliphatic aldehydes undergo highly selective α-C(sp)-H heteroarylation reactions under electrochemical oxygenation conditions. This transformation took place under environmentally friendly and external oxidant-free conditions, offering a broad and sustainable route to various aldehyde-functionalized pyrazinones.

Transition-metal-catalyzed aminometalation of -alkynylanilines is a promising pathway for the synthesis of C3-functionalized indoles. Herein, we describe the Cu(II)-catalyzed site-selective C3-heteroarylation of indoles from -alkynylanilines and quinoline -oxides. A plausible reaction mechanism involving the aminocupration of -alkynylanilines followed by the nucleophilic addition of Cu(II)-indolyl complexes to quinoline -oxides was proposed.

Complementary methods toward the selective functionalization of indole and oxindole frameworks employing an alternative strategy in heteroaryl C-H functionalizations are presented herein. This work focuses on a catalyst-controlled, site selective C-H activation/functionalization of 3-acyl indoles, wherein an amide serves as a robust and versatile directing group capable of undergoing concomitant 1,2-acyl translocation/C-H functionalization in the presence of a Rh/Ag co-catalysts to provide the cross-coupled adducts in high yields. In contrast, the use of Ir/Ag catalysts subverted the 1,2-acyl migration to afford the corresponding C2-functionalized products in good to excellent yields.

The generation of alkyl radical from C(sp)-H substrates via hydrogen atom abstraction represents a desirable yet underexplored strategy in alkylation reaction since involving common concerns remain adequately unaddressed, such as the harsh reaction conditions, limited substrate scope, and the employment of noble metal- or photo-catalysts and stoichiometric oxidants. Here, we utilize the synergistic strategy of photoredox and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis to accomplish a general and practical functionalization of unactived C(sp)-H centers with broad reaction scope, high functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity. A combination of validation experiments and density functional theory reveals that the N-centered radicals, generated from free N - H bond in a stepwise electron/proton transfer event, are the key intermediates that enable an intramolecular 1,5-HAT or intermolecular HAT process for nucleophilic carbon-centered radicals formation to achieve heteroarylation, alkylation, amination, cyanation, azidation, trifluoromethylthiolation, halogenation and deuteration.

Electron-poor aryl nitriles are promising reagents for bioconjugation due to their high electrophilicity and selectivity for reaction with thiols, albeit generally in a reversible manner. A transient species has previously been observed in such reactions, involving the addition of two thiols to the nitrile functional group, forming a tetrahedral amino dithioacetal (ADTA). In this work, the reaction of heteroaryl nitriles with bis-thiols is explored in an attempt to generate stable ADTAs, which could facilitate new bioconjugation protocols.
