<p>Despite the widespread applications of C–H functionalization, controlling site selectivity remains a significant challenge. Covalently attached directing group (DG) served as an ancillary ligand to ensure proximal <i>ortho</i>-, distal <i>meta</i>- and <i>para</i>-C-H functionalization over the last two decades. These covalently linked DGs necessitate two extra steps for a single C–H functionalization: introduction of DG prior to C–H activation and removal of DG post-functionalization. We introduce here a transient directing group for distal C(<i>sp<sup>2</sup></i>)-H functionalization <i>via</i> reversible imine formation. By overruling facile proximal C-H bond activation by imine-<i>N</i> atom, a suitably designed pyrimidine-based transient directing group (TDG) successfully delivered selective distal C-C bond formation. Application of this transient directing group strategy for streamlining the synthesis of complex organic molecules without any necessary pre-functionalization at the distal position has been explored.</p>

Background: Among the numerous bond-forming patterns, C–C bond formation is one of the most useful tools for building molecules for the chemical industry as well as life sciences. Recently, one of the most challenging topics is the study of the direct coupling reactions via multiple C–H bond cleavage/activation processes. A number of excellent reviews on modern C–H direct functionalization have been reported by Bergman, Bercaw, Yu and others in recent years. Among the large number of available methodologies, Pdcatalyzed reactions and hypervalent iodine reagent mediated reactions represent the most popular metal and non-metal involved transformations. However, the comprehensive summary of the comparison of metal and non-metal mediated transformations is still not available. Objective: The review focuses on comparing these two types of reactions (Pd-catalyzed reactions and hypervalent iodine reagent mediated reactions) based on the ways of forming new C–C bonds, as well as the scope and limitations on the demonstration of their synthetic applications. Conclusion: Comparing the Pd-catalyzed strategies and hypervalent iodine reagent mediated methodologies for the direct C–C bond formation from activation of C-H bonds, we clearly noticed that both strategies are powerful tools for directly obtaining the corresponding pruducts. On one hand, the hypervalent iodine reagents mediated reactions are normally under mild conditions and give the molecular diversity without the presence of transition-metal, while the Pd-catalyzed approaches have a broader scope for the wide synthetic applications. On the other hand, unlike Pd-catalyzed C-C bond formation reactions, the study towards hypervalent iodine reagent mediated methodology mainly focused on the stoichiometric amount of hypervalent iodine reagent, while few catalytic reactions have been reported. Meanwhile, hypervalent iodine strategy has been proved to be more efficient in intramolecular medium-ring construction, while there are less successful examples on C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation. In summary, we have demonstrated a number of selected approaches for the formation of a new C–C bond under the utilization of Pd-catalyzed reaction conditions or hyperiodine reagents. The direct activations of sp2 or sp3 hybridized C–H bonds are believed to be important strategies for the future molecular design as well as useful chemical entity synthesis.

A metal-free oxidative coupling reaction of trifluoromethyl β-diketones with alcohols for the synthesis of α-keto esters in good to excellent yields has been developed. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that an I2/TBHP promoted sequential iodination, C–C bond cleavage, C–O bond formation and oxidation pathway is involved in this reaction.

Alkyl nitriles are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis because the cyano group can be easily converted into other functional groups. Iminyl-radical-triggered C–C bond cleavage of cycloketone oxime­ derivatives provides a practical route to access distal cyano-substituted alkyl radicals, which has given chemists a new radical reaction platform for the synthesis of diverse alkyl nitriles. This review provides an overview of various types of radical cyanoalkylation via ring opening of cycloketone oxime derivatives.1 Introduction2 C–C Bond Formation2.1 Alkenes as Radical Acceptors2.2 Aromatic Rings as Radical Acceptors2.3 Organometallic Reagents as Radical Acceptors2.4 Cyanoalkyl-Radical-Triggered Cyclization Reactions2.5 Miscellaneous3 C–Heteroatom Bond Formation3.1 C–O Bond Formation3.2 C–N Bond Formation3.3 C–S Bond Formation3.4 C–Halogen Bond Formation3.5 C–B Bond Formation4 Conclusion
