We report herein studies on copper-catalyzed aerobic radical C–C bond cleavage of N–H ketimines. Treatment of N–H ketimines having an α-sp3 hybridized carbon under Cu-catalyzed aerobic reaction conditions resulted in a radical fragmentation with C–C bond cleavage to give the corresponding carbonitrile and carbon radical intermediate. This radical process has been applied for the construction of oxaspirocyclohexadienones as well as in the electrophilic cyanation of Grignard reagents with pivalonitrile as a CN source.

<div><p>Here we report a catalytic, light-driven method for the redox-neutral depolymerization of native lignin biomass at ambient temperature. This transformation proceeds via a proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET) activation of an alcohol O–H bond to generate a key alkoxy radical intermediate, which then drives the <i>β</i>-scission of a vicinal C–C bond. Notably, this depolymerization is driven solely by visible light irradiation, requiring no stoichiometric chemical reagents and producing no stoichiometric waste. This method exhibits good efficiency and excellent selectivity for the activation and fragmentation of <i>β</i>-O-4 linkages in the polymer backbone, even in the presence of numerous other PCET-active functional groups. DFT analysis suggests that the key C–C bond cleavage reactions produce non-equilibrium product distributions, driven by excited-state redox events. These results provide further evidence that visible-light photocatalysis can serve as a viable method for the direct conversion of lignin biomass into valuable arene feedstocks.</p></div>

Functionalization of amide bond via the cleavage of a non-carbonyl, C-N σ bond remains under-investigated. In this work, a transition-metal-free single-electron transfer reaction has been developed for the C-N σ bond cleavage of N-acylazetidines using the electride derived from sodium dispersions and 15-crown-5. Of note, less strained cyclic amides and acyclic amides are stable under the reaction conditions, which features the excellent chemoselectivity of the reaction. This method is amenable to a range of unhindered and sterically encumbered azetidinyl amides.

A novel gold(I)/Brønsted acid sequential catalyzed/promoted procedure to synthesize 1-alkyl-3-(2-oxo-2-aryl/alkyl-ethyl)indolin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions is developed. This methodology is realized by relay actions of gold and a Brønsted acid in a one-pot multistep manner. The gold(I)-catalyzed chemoselective C(sp2)-H functionalization of enaminones and Brønsted acid promoted cleavage of the C=C bond are integrated effectively. Based on the results of control experiments and ESI-MS analysis, a possible reaction mechanism is proposed.

In the system 1-sila-2,4-cyclohexadiene (l)/tert-butyllithium/trimethylchlorosilane the following reaction types have been observed: nucleophilic substitution, metallation, addition of tert-butyllithium to the diene fragment, addition of lithium hydride to the diene fragment, silicon-carbon bond cleavage, and transmetallation. The resulting products 2-11 have been characterised by their 1H and 13C NMR data; the compounds 2, 3, 6, 8 and 10 could be isolated in a pure form. The relative quantities obtained of the compounds 2-11 depend on the reaction conditions (solvent, temperature, order of addition).
