Article Abstract
An electrochemical Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of arylcarboxylic esters with alkylpyridinium salts has been developed. Various aryl alkyl ketones are obtained in good to excellent yields (up to 86% yield). The reaction tolerated a variety of primary alkylpyridinium salts, including substrates with protic functional groups and derivatives of bioactive molecules. This method exhibits several synthetic advantages, including high efficiency (reaction time of 1.5 h), the use of easily available alkylpyridinium salts (dual roles as the alkyl source and electrolyte), a convenient procedure (undivided cell), and a wide substrate scope (47 examples). This route provides a novel and efficient method for the synthesis of aryl ketones.

Divergent synthesis of structurally different products from the same kinds of starting materials is highly synthetically useful but very challenging. Herein, we reported a base-mediated chemodivergent [4 + 1] and [2 + 1] cycloaddition of -alkylpyridinium and enone under mild conditions, leading to furan-fused bicycles with high diastereoselectivity and spirobicycles, respectively, from moderate to high yields. -Alkylpyridinium salts were modular nucleophilic transfer reagents and C1 synthons, which underwent tandem Michael addition to the α,β-unsaturated ketones and cyclization under the base conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Eight new compounds were discovered, including four zwitterionic alkylpyridinium salts (hippospondines A-D) and four 3-alkylpyridine alkaloids, along with one known alkaloid.
- The new compounds were analyzed using advanced techniques, and while compound 3 showed a slight boost in T lymphocyte proliferation, the overall findings highlight their unique chemical structures and potential for pharmacological applications.

An electrochemical, nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of alkylpyridinium salts and aryl halides is reported. High-throughput experimentation (HTE) was employed for rapid reaction optimization and evaluation of a broad scope of pharmaceutically relevant structurally diverse aryl halides, including complex drug-like substrates. In addition, the transformation is compatible with both primary and secondary alkylpyridinium salts with distinct conditions.

Article Synopsis
- An iodine-mediated process was developed to synthesize 6-alkylthio-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamines using -alkylpyridinium salts and NHSCN in air.
- A total of 27 different compounds were successfully produced under these standard reaction conditions.
- Pyridinium salts facilitate the formation of the C-S bond, which is essential for building the triazine structure, and a proposed mechanism is outlined based on experiments and existing literature.
