Hot Paper: Dual Ligand-Enabled Nondirected C−H Olefination of Arenes

Hao Chen, Philipp Wedi, Tim Meyer, Dr. Ghazal Tavakoli and Dr. Manuel van Gemmeren

Dual Ligand-Enabled Nondirected C−H Olefination of Arenes

How many ligands does it take to change a bond? The Pd-catalyzed C−H olefination of arenes as the limiting reagents is reported. The combined action of two ligands, N-acetylglycine and a pyridine, enables this Fujiwara–Moritani reaction under steric/electronic control; traditionally this reaction required use of arenes as (co)solvents or of directing groups on the substrate.

A method for converting sp3 C-H to C-Br bonds using an N-methyl sulfamate directing group is described. For all sulfamates examined, bromination occurs with high selectivity at the [gamma]-carbon, affording a predictable method for C-H bond halogenation.

Oxyfunctionalization of the Remote C−H Bonds of Aliphatic Amines by Decatungstate Photocatalysis

Oxyfunctionalization of the Remote C−H Bonds of Aliphatic Amines by Decatungstate Photocatalysis

Going with the floW: Decatungstate anion, a UV absorbing photocatalyst, was utilized in the conversion of unprotected aliphatic amines, into products containing a ketone functionality at a remote position, by using either H2O2 or O2 as the terminal oxidant. NMR studies employing LED-irradiated samples aided in the identification of a key reaction intermediate, and ultimately allowed the transformation to be translated into flow.

2017 National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year Contest (15 photos)

National Geographic Magazine has opened its annual photo contest for 2017, with the deadline for submissions coming up on November 17. The Grand Prize Winner will receive $10,000, publication in National Geographic Magazine and a feature on National Geographic’s Instagram account. The folks at National Geographic were, once more, kind enough to let me choose among the contest entries so far for display here. The captions below were written by the individual photographers, and lightly edited for style.

Meta-Selective C−H Borylation of Benzylamine, Phenethylamine and Phenylpropylamine-Derived Amides Enabled by a Single Anionic Ligand

Meta‐Selective C−H Borylation of Benzylamine, Phenethylamine and Phenylpropylamine‐Derived Amides Enabled by a Single Anionic Ligand

Clever positioning: A bipyridine ligand incorporating a remote anionic sulfonate group directs iridium-catalyzed borylation to the meta-position on a range of amide-containing arenes. It is proposed that this selectivity is a result of a hydrogen bonding interaction to correctly position the iridium metal centre in the crucial C−H activation.
