A series of symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted buta-1,3-diynes is prepared with excellent yields (up to 95%) through homocoupling of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a copper salt under solvent-free conditions. This method provides an environmentally friendly process to prepare 1,3-diynes in short reaction times under mild conditions. Furthermore, the method is suitable for a wide substrate scope and has excellent functional group compatibility. The reaction can also be scaled up to gram level.

A simple efficient, atom-economical procedure was developed for the cobalt-catalyzed C–H bond annulation of benzamides with isonitriles under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates a variety of functional group including heterocycles. Diverse 3-(alkylimino)-2-quinolin-8-yl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-ones were synthesized using isonitriles as the C1 source through C–H and N–H bond annulation via C–H bond activation in a ‘green’ solvent. Vinylamides were also used similarly with tert-butyl isonitrile to give 3-(tert-butylimino)-1-quinolin-8-yl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones.

<div>A nickel-catalyzed thiolation of aryl nitriles has been developed to access functionalized aryl thioethers. The ligand dcype (1,2 Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane) as well as the base KOtBu (potassium tert-butoxide) are essential to achieve this transformation. This scalable and practical process involves both a C–C bond activation and a C–S bond formation. Furthermore, this reaction shows a high functional-group tolerance and enables the late-stage functionalization of important molecules.</div>

<div> <p>A facile one-pot strategy for <sup>13</sup>CN and <sup>14</sup>CN exchange with aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl nitriles using a Ni phosphine catalyst and BPh<sub>3</sub> is described. This late-stage carbon isotope exchange (CIE) strategy employs labeled Zn(CN)<sub>2</sub> to facilitate enrichment using the non-labeled parent compound as the starting material, eliminating <i>de novo</i> synthesis for precursor development. A broad substrate scope encompassing multiple pharmaceuticals is disclosed, including the preparation of [<sup>14</sup>C]<a>belzutifan</a> to illustrate the exceptional functional group tolerance and utility of this labeling approach. Preliminary experimental and computational studies suggest the Lewis acid BPh<sub>3</sub> is not critical for the oxidative addition step and instead plays a role in facilitating CN exchange on Ni. This CIE method dramatically reduces the synthetic steps and radioactive waste involved in preparation of <sup>14</sup>C labeled tracers for clinical development.</p> </div>

In this work, N-Cbz hydrazone has been employed as a rarely explored directing group for the synthesis of isoquinolines by annulation with internal alkynes via C–H/N–N activation using Ru catalyst. Additive as well as external oxidant-free rapid protocol has been established for the synthesis of isoquinolines using microwave strategy. Use of non-volatile and biodegradable PEG as a green solvent with lower catalyst loading makes the proposed protocol environmentally benign. Further, higher functional group tolerance and wide substrate scope has been observed under the stated methodology with higher yields.

Complementary to C–H bond activation, C–C bond activation has emerged over the past few years as an increasingly powerful tool to access and modify complex molecules. Ketones, owing to their versatility and availability, provide a significant platform for C–C bond activating reactions. Herein, we reported a <i>β</i>-carbon elimination strategy for alkene(sp<sup>2</sup>)–C(O) bonds to realize the olefination of unstrained enones via a vinyl palladium species, which delivers a series of conjugated polyene compounds. The protocol features broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance and can be extended to dba (dibenzylideneacetone) substrates for olefination, alkynylation, arylation and amination, which demonstrates the generality of the approach and affords two valuable products in one pot. Furthermore, the late-stage functionalization of natural products (<i>β</i>-ionone and acetyl cedrene) and synthesis of natural products (piperine, lignarenone, novenone) highlight the potential utility of the reaction.
