Alessandro Palmieri of the University of Camerino developed (Synlett 2010, 2468) the condensation of a nitro acrylate 1 with a 1,3-dicarbonyl partner 2 to give the furan 3. Chaozhong Li of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3678) that an alkenyl halide 4 could be cyclized to the furan 5. Ayhan S. Demir of Middle East Technical University established (Chem. Commun. 2010, 46, 8032) that a Au catalyst could catalyze the addition of an amine 7 to a cyanoester 6 to give the pyrrole 8 . Bruce A. Arndtsen of McGill University effected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4916) the net three-component coupling of an imine 9, an acid chloride 10, and an alkyne 11 to deliver the pyrrole 12. Bernard Delpech of CNRS Gif-sur-Yvette prepared (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4760) the pyridine 15 by combining the diene 13 with the incipient carbocation 14. Max Malacria, Vincent Gandon, and Corinne Aubert of UPMC Paris optimized (Synlett 2010, 2314) the internal Co-mediated cyclization of a nitrile alkyne 5 to the tetrasubstituted pyridine 17. Yoshiaki Nakao of Kyoto University and Tamejiro Hiyama, now at Chuo University, effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 13666) selective substitution of a preformed pyridine 18 at the C-4 position by coupling with an alkene 19. We showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 5737) that the anion from deprotonation of a pyridine 21 could be added in a conjugate sense to 22 to give 23. Other particularly useful strategies for further substitution of preformed pyridines have been described by Olafs Daugulis of the University of Houston (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4277), by Phil S. Baran of Scripps/La Jolla (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 13194), and by Robert G. Bergmann of the University of California, Berkeley, and Jonathan A. Ellman of Yale University (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7863). K. C. Majumdar of the University of Kalyani developed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3807) the oxidative Pd-catalyzed cylization of 24 to the indole 25. Nan Zheng of the University of Arkansas showed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3736) that Fe could be used to catalyze the rearrangement of the azirine 26 to the indole 27.

Kiyotomi Kaneda of Osaka University devised (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 5545) gold nanoparticles that efficiently deoxygenated an epoxide 1 to the alkene 2. Robert G. Bergman of the University of California, Berkeley, and Jonathan A. Ellman, now of Yale University, reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11408) a related protocol for deoxygenating 1,2-diols. Dennis A. Dougherty of Caltech established (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 3990) that an acid chloride 3 could be reduced to the phosphonate 4. Pei-Qiang Huang of Xiamen University effected (Synlett 2010, 1829) reduction of an amide 5 by activation with Tf2O followed by reduction with NaBH4. André B. Charette of the Université de Montreal described (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 12817) parallel results with Tf2O/Et3SiH. David Milstein of the Weizmann Institute of Science devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 16756) a Ru catalyst for the alternative reduction of an amide 7 to the amine 8 and the alcohol 9. Shi-Kai Tian of the University of Science and Technology of China effected (Chem. Commun. 2010, 46, 6180) reduction of a benzylic sulfonamide 10 to the hydrocarbon 11. Thirty years ago, S. Yamamura of Nagoya University reported (Chem. Commun. 1967, 1049) the efficient reduction of a ketone to the corresponding methylene with Zn/HCl. Hirokazu Arimoto of Tohoku University established (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4534) that a modified Zn/TMSCl protocol could be used following ozonolysis to effect conversion of an alkene 12 to the methylene 13. José Barluenga and Carlos Valdés of the Universidad de Oviedo effected (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 4993) reduction of a ketone to the ether 16 by way of the tosylhydrazone 14. Kyoko Nozaki and Makoto Yamashita of the University of Tokyo and Dennis P. Curran of the University of Pittsburgh found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11449) that the hydride 18 (actually a complex dimer) could effect the direct reduction of a halide 17 and also function as the hydrogen atom donor for free radical reduction and as the hydride donor for the Pd-mediated reduction of an aryl halide.

Matthew J. Kotchen of Yale University reviews “Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future” by Matthew E. Kahn. The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Explores how cities will adapt to the challenges of climate change, focusing on how geographical and socioeconomic factors will affect the quality of urban life in a hotter world. Discusses too much gas; what we've done when our cities have blown up; king of the hill; the case of Los Angeles; whether Manhattan will flood; whether China's cities will go green; effects and adaptations in developing countries; seize the day--opportunities from our hotter future; and the future of cities. Kahn is Professor with the Institute of the Environment, the Department of Economics, and the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles. Index.”
