- Pd(II)-catalyzed annulation reactions of epoxides with benzamides to synthesize isoquinolones
-
Epoxides as alkylating reagents are unprecedentedly applied in Pd(II)-catalyzed C?H alkylation and oxidative annulation of substituted benzamides to synthesize isoquinolones rather than isochromans, which is accomplished through alerting the previously reported reaction mechanism by the addition of oxidant and TEA. Under these conditions, various isoquinolones have been prepared with yields up to 92%. In addition, this methodology has been successfully employed in the total syntheses of rupreschstyril, siamine, and cassiarin A in an expedient fashion.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Inert C?H Bond Activation and Cyclocarbonylation of Isoquinolones with Carbon Dioxide Leading to Isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-Diones
-
A palladium-catalyzed inert C?H bond activation and cyclocarbonylation of isoquinolones leading to isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-diones under 1 atm of carbon dioxide has been developed. This transformation features high regio- and chemo-selectivity, step-economy, and good functional group tolerance. Most of the corresponding products were obtained in moderate to good yields. It offers an alternative approach for the synthesis of useful diverse isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-dione derivatives. (Figure presented.).

- C-F bond cleavage enabled redox-neutral [4+1] annulation via C-H bond activation
-
Using α,α-difluoromethylene alkyne as a nontraditional one-carbon reaction partner, a synthetically novel method for the construction of isoindolin-1-one derivatives via Rh(III)-catalyzed [4+1] annulation reaction is reported. The 2-fold C-F bond cleavage not only enables the generation of desired product under an overall oxidant-free condition but also results in a net migration of carbon-carbon triple bond. In addition, the present reaction protocol exhibits a tolerance of a wide spectrum of functional groups due to the mild reaction conditions employed.

- Selective mono-alkylation of N-methoxybenzamides
-
We report our latest discovery of norbornene derivative modulated highly mono-selective ortho-C-H activation alkylation reactions on arenes bearing simple mono-dentate coordinating groups. The reaction features the use of readily available benzamides and alkyl halides. During the study, we prepared 30 mono-alkylated aryl amides in good yields with good mono-selectivity. We have also demonstrated that structurally rigid alkenes such as norbornene and its derivatives are a good class of ligand and could be used for future direct C-H functionalizations. The utilization of norbornene type ligands for assistance in C-H activation processes has opened a new window for future molecular design using direct C-H functionalization strategies.

- Solvent-Controlled, Tunable β-OAc and β-H Elimination in Rh(III)-Catalyzed Allyl Acetate and Aryl Amide Coupling via C-H Activation
-
The Heck reaction between arenes and allyl acetate has led to cinnamyl derivatives and allyl products depending on the regioselectivity of β-elimination. The regioselectivity can be controlled by the solvent in the Rh(III)-catalyzed arene-allyl acetate coupling via C-H activation: (1) in THF, cinnamyl derivatives via β-H elimination were generated; (2) in MeOH, allyl products via β-OAc elimination were produced. Both routes have advantages such as excellent γ-selectivity toward allyl acetate, good to excellent yields, and broad substrate scope.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Deaminative Phenanthridinone Synthesis from Aniline via C-H Bond Activation
-
This work reports palladium-catalyzed phenanthridinone synthesis using the coupling of aniline and amide by formation of C-C and C-N bonds in a one-pot fashion via dual C-H bond activation. It involves simultaneous cleavage of four bonds and the formation of two new bonds. The present protocol is ligand-free, takes place under mild reaction conditions, and is environmentally benign as nitrogen gas and water are the only side products. This transformation demonstrates a broad range of aniline and amide substrates with different functional groups and has been scaled up to gram level.

- Rh-Catalyzed annulations of: N -methoxybenzamides with ketenimines: Synthesis of 3-aminoisoindolinones and 3-diarylmethyleneisoindolinones with strong aggregation induced emission properties
-
Rhodium-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation reactions of ketenimines with N-methoxybenzamides furnished 3-aminoisoindolin-1-ones and 3-(diarylmethylene)isoindolin-1-ones. The synthesized 3-(diarylmethylene)isoindolin-1-ones exhibited aggregation induced emissions in aqueous tetrahydrofuran solution and strong green-yellow emissions in solids.

- Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H/C-C activation sequence: Vinylcyclopropanes as versatile synthons in direct C-H allylation reactions
-
Succession of C-H activation and C-C activation was achieved by using a single rhodium(iii) catalyst. Vinylcyclopropanes were used as versatile coupling partners. Mechanistic studies suggest that the olefin insertion step is rate-determining and a facile β-carbon elimination is involved, which represents a novel ring opening mode of vinylcyclopropanes.

- Amides and Ethers as Chemoselective Surrogates for Copper(II)-Catalyzed ortho Benzoyloxylation of 2-Phenylpyridines
-
Chemoselective ortho benzoyloxylation of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives using amides and ethers as novel arylcarboxy sources using a Cu(II)/TBHP catalytic system has been reported. It is a simple protocol for ortho benzoyloxylation using amides and ethers as surrogates. A broad range of amides and ethers was found to be compatible under optimized reaction conditions to provide the corresponding products in good to excellent yield. The reaction proceeds through the cleavage of C-N, C-O, and C-H bonds and the formation of a new C-O bond via C-H functionalization.

- Metal-free iodine(III)-promoted synthesis of isoquinolones
-
A metal-free oxidative cycloaddition reaction of substituted benzamides and alkynes has been developed for the synthesis of isoquinolones by using bis(trifluoracetoxy)iodobenzene (PIFA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Under mild conditions, a wide variety of isoquinolones were conveniently prepared via oxidative annulation of simple N-methoxybenzamide and diarylacetylene or aryl/alkyl acetylene derivatives in yields up to 87%.

- Rh(III)-catalyzed Directed C-H Olefination using an oxidizing directing group: Mild, efficient, and versatile
-
An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative olefination by directed C-H bond activation of N-methoxybenzamides is reported. In this mild, practical, selective, and high-yielding process, the N-O bond acts as an internal oxidant. In addition, simply changing the substituent of the directing/oxidizing group results in the selective formation of valuable tetrahydroisoquinolinone products.
