- One-Pot Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed Aerobic Nitrosation of N-Alkylanilines and Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Sequence to Indole and Aniline Derivatives
-
The nitroso group served as a traceless directing group for the C-H functionalization of N-alkylanilines, ultimately removed after functioning either as an internal oxidant or under subsequent reducing conditions. The unique ability of o-NQ catalysts to aerobically oxidize the N-alkylanilines without using solvents and stoichiometric amounts of oxidants has rendered the new opportunity to develop the telescoped catalyst systems without a need for directly handling the hazardous N-nitroso compounds.

- Access to Branched Allylarenes via Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C-H Allylation of (Hetero)arenes with 2-Methylidenetrimethylene Carbonate
-
A rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H allylation of (hetero)arenes by using 2-methylidenetrimethylene carbonate as an efficient allylic source has been developed for the first time. Five different directing groups including oxime, N-nitroso, purine, pyridine, and pyrimidine were compatible, delivering various branched allylarenes bearing an allylic hydroxyl group in moderate to excellent yields.

- Rhodium-catalyzed tandem acylmethylation/annulation ofN-nitrosoanilines with sulfoxonium ylides for the synthesis of substituted indazoleN-oxides
-
An atom-economical protocol for synthesizing indazoleN-oxides from readily availableN-nitrosoanilines and sulfoxonium ylides through the rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H activation and cyclization reaction is described here. This protocol employs nitroso as a traceless directing group. The transformation features powerful reactivity, tolerates various functional groups, and proceeds with moderate to good yields under an ambient atmosphere, providing a straightforward approach to access structurally diverse and valuable indazoleN-oxide derivatives. Importantly, this new annulation process represents a hitherto unobserved reactivity pattern for theN-nitroso group.

- Rh(iii)-catalyzed, hydrazine-directed C-H functionalization with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols: A new strategy for 1: H -indazoles
-
Rh(iii)-catalyzed coupling of phenylhydrazines with 1-alkynylcyclobutanols was realized through a hydrazine-directed C-H functionalization pathway. This [4+1] annulation, based on the cleavage of a Csp-Csp triple bond in alkynylcyclobutanol, provides a new pathway to prepare diverse 1H-indazoles under mild reaction conditions. This journal is

- Cp?Rh(iii) catalyzed: Ortho -halogenation of N -nitrosoanilines by solvent-controlled regioselective C-H functionalization
-
We present a novel, efficient, and regioselective method for the rhodium-catalyzed direct C-H ortho-halogenation of anilines that involves a removable N-nitroso directing group. This method featured mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and satisfactory yields. To maintain the high ortho-regioselectivity and conversion, increasing the steric hindrance of the solvent was critical. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that C-H activation may be involved in the rate-determining step.

- Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Directed C?H Amidation of N-Nitrosoanilines and Subsequent Formation of 1,2-Disubstituted Benzimidazoles
-
An efficient rhodium-catalyzed direct C?H amidation of N-nitrosoanilines with 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as amidating agents has been developed. This method featured mild reaction conditions, a wide substrate scope and satisfactory yields. Besides, the amidated products could be readily converted to pharmaceutically valuable 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles via an HCl-mediated deprotection/cyclization process in one pot.

An efficient and mild protocol for regioselective synthesis of N-Nitroso aryl ketones by palladium-catalyzed direct acylation of arenes using N-Nitroso as directing groups is described. This reaction proceeded smoothly and could tolerate a variety of functional groups. Moreover, this chemistry offers a convenient access to a range of indazoles.

-
A palladium-catalyzed cascade cross-coupling of N-nitroso-anilines and toluene derivatives for the direct synthesis of N-alkyl-2-aminobenzophenones is described. N-nitroso groups in anilines can act as the traceless directing groups while toluene derivatives can serve as effective acyl precursors under mild reaction conditions.

- Rhodium(III)-catalyzed N-nitroso-directed C-H addition to ethyl 2-oxoacetate for cycloaddition/fragmentation synthesis of indazoles
-
RhIII-catalyzed N-nitroso-directed C-H addition to ethyl 2-oxoacetate allows subsequent construction of indazoles, a privileged heterocycle scaffold in synthetic chemistry, through the exploitation of reactivity between the directing group and installed group. The formal [2+2] cycloaddition/fragmentation reaction pathway identified herein, a unique reactivity pattern hitherto elusive for the N-nitroso group, emphasizes the importance of forward reactivity analysis in the development of useful C-H functionalization-based synthetic tools. The synthetic utility of the protocol is demonstrated with the synthesis of a tri-cyclic-fused ring system. The diversity of covalent linkages available for the nitroso group should enable the extension of the genre of reactivity reported herein to the synthesis of other types of heterocycles.

- Traceless directing strategy: Efficient synthesis of N-alkyl indoles via redox-neutral C-H activation
-
A general protocol for the synthesis of N-alkyl indoles has been developed via a redox neutral C-H activation strategy using a traceless nitroso directing group. A broad scope of substituted N-alkyl indoles has been prepared in good to excellent yields using a very simple Rh catalyst system in the absence of an external oxidant or any other additive. Good to excellent regioselectivity has been achieved for asymmetrically disubstituted acetylenes.
