Carbocupration of α-heterosubstituted alkynes leads to the formation of stereodefined functionalized vinyl copper species as single isomer. Recent advances in the field show that a simple pre-association of the organometallic derivative with an additional polar functional group in the vicinity of the reaction center may completely change the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. Representative examples are given in this mini-review.

The field of catalytic C-H borylation has grown considerably since its founding, providing a means for the preparation of synthetically versatile organoborane products. While sp2 C-H borylation methods have found widespread and practical use in organic synthesis, the analogous sp3 C-H borylation reaction remains challenging and has seen limited application. Existing catalysts are often hindered by incomplete consumption of the diboron reagent, poor functional group tolerance, harsh reaction conditions, and the need for excess or neat substrate. These challenges acutely affect C-H borylation chemistry of unactivated hydrocarbon substrates, which has lagged in comparison to methods for the C-H borylation of activated compounds. Herein we discuss recent advances in sp3 C-H borylation of undirected substrates in the context of two particular challenges: (1) utilization of the diboron reagent and (2) the need for excess or neat substrate. Our recent work on the application of dipyridylarylmethane ligands in sp3 C-H borylation has allowed us to make contributions in this space and has presented an additional ligand scaffold to supplement traditional phenanthroline ligands.

As a result of a large number of experiments on the Hurtley reaction the following tentative conclusions are drawn: (a) the best and most convenient solvent is ethanol; (b) the reaction succeeds best with aromatic o-bromocarboxylic acids although o-iodo acids can be expected to give low yields; (c) replacement of the carboxyl group by any other functional group prevents the reaction; (d) a copper species, probably copper(l), is an essential catalyst. The reactivity of 8-bromo-1-naphthoic acid, which is almost identical with that of o-bromobenzoic acid, is evidence against the intermediacy of a planar resonance hybrid structure. The geometry of the bromo acid-copper intermediate appears to be of paramount importance.

Recent advances in the metal-catalyzed radical-type transformation of unactivated alkyl halides with C–C bond formation under photoinduced conditions are summarized. Usually, a broad reaction scope is observed including tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl halides, with good functional group compatibility.

This report details the advances in synthetic strategies toward arylene–ethynylene macrocycles (AEMs). After a brief description of traditional methods, we summarize recent advances based on dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) whereby a highly active and functional group tolerant alkyne metathesis catalyst yields scalable quantities of AEMs under thermodynamic controlled reaction conditions.

Biocatalysis offers mild reaction conditions, an environmentally attractive catalyst–solvent system, high activities, and chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities, while the use of enzymes generally circumvents the need for functional group activation and avoids protection/deprotection steps required in traditional organic syntheses. This review, using β-lactam antibiotics as an example, discusses recent advances in biocatalysis research towards the goal of ‘green’ methodologies for the manufacture of (fine) chemicals and the emulation of a cell's enzymatic cascade processes.

Trifluoromethylthiolative difunctionalization of alkenes, a cheap and abundant feedstock, which installs a trifluoromethylthiol (SCF3) group and another unique functional group across the carbon–carbon double bonds, provides an ideal strategy for the preparation of β-functionalized alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfides and has become a hot topic recently.
