An efficient protocol for the synthesis of O-aroyl-N,N-dimethylhydroxylamines, which are important electrophilic amination reagents, is described. The reaction between carboxylic acids and N,N-dimethylformamide is mediated by hypervalent iodine and occurs under mild conditions at room temperature to give the desired products in good yields. The process shows good functional group compatibility and air and moisture tolerance.

A facile method for the construction of esters through dehydrative coupling of carboxylic acids with alcohols is developed. The reactions are mediated by sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) at room temperature and proceed with high efficiency. The method has several advantages including broad substrate scope, mild conditions, excellent functional group compatibility and affords high yields, even on gram scale.

<b>Catalytic reactions occur readily at sites of starting materials that are both innately reactive and sterically accessible or that are predisposed by a functional group amenable to direct a catalyst. However, selective reactions at unbiased sites of substrates remain challenging and typically require additional pre-activation steps or the use of highly reactive reagents. Herein, we report dual-catalytic transition metal systems that merge a reversible activation cycle with a functionalization cycle, together enabling functionalization of substrates at their inherently unreactive sites. By engaging the Ru- or Fe-catalyzed equilibrium between an alcohol and an aldehyde, Pd-catalyzed <i>b</i>-arylation of aliphatic alcohols and Rh-catalyzed <i>g</i>-hydroarylation of allylic alcohols were developed. The mild conditions, functional group tolerance and broad scope of the methodologies (81 examples) demonstrate the synthetic applicability of the dual-catalytic systems. In a broader context, this work highlights the potential of the multi-catalytic approach to address challenging transformations to circumvent the multi-step procedures and the use of highly reactive reagents in organic synthesis.</b>

AbstractChiral-auxiliary-mediated synthesis represents the most frequently used synthetic tool for the induction of chirality on α-position of γ-lactams in organic synthesis. However, the general strategy requires the stoichiometric use of chiral reagents with multiple manipulation steps. Transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric alkene dicarbofunctionalization using readily available substrates under mild conditions allows the simultaneous construction of two vicinal chemical bonds and a chiral carbon center, hence, gain expedient access to chiral heterocycles. Herein, we disclose a Ni-catalyzed enantioselective reaction of 3-butenyl carbamoyl chloride and primary alkyl iodide enabled by a newly designed chiral 8-quinoline imidazoline ligand (8-Quinim). This protocol features broad functional group tolerance and high enantioselectivities, achieving unprecedented synthesis of chiral nonaromatic heterocycles via catalytic reductive protocol.1 Introduction2 Development of 8-Quinim Ligand3 Nickel/8-Quinim-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral α-Alkylated γ-Lactam4 Conclusion and Outlook
