Oxidative Alkylation/Alkynylation of Terminal Alkenes via Alkylaldehyde Decarbonylation and 1,2-Alkynyl Migration

A metal-free oxidative alkene alkylation/alkynylation of 1,4-enyn-3-ols with alkylaldehydes has been achieved, which offers a general access to the challenging quaternary carbon-containing but-3-yn-1-ones. The method features with excellent functional group...

Correction: Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed oxidative alkylation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with cyclopropanols

Correction for ‘Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed oxidative alkylation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with cyclopropanols’ by Jidan Liu et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d0ob02323j.

Photoelectrochemical cross-dehydrogenative coupling of benzothiazoles with strong aliphatic C–H bonds

The merging of decatungstate photocatalysis with electrochemistry enabled the net-oxidative alkylation of benzothiazoles with aliphatic hydrogen donors featuring strong C(sp3)–H bonds.

Rhodium(III)-catalyzed oxidative alkylation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with cyclopropanols

An efficient Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H oxidative alkylation of N-aryl-7-azaindoles with cyclopropanols by merging tandem C-H and C-C cleavage was developed. This transformation features a mild reaction condition, high regioselectivity, and excellent...

Redox-controlled chalcogen-bonding at tellurium: impact on Lewis acidity and chloride anion transport properties

The oxidative alkylation of diorganotellurides enhances the chalcogen-bond donor properties of the tellurium center, an effect manifested in the enhanced chloride anion affinity and transport properties of the resulting telluronium cations.

Oxidative alkylation of alkenes with carbonyl compounds through concomitant 1,2-aryl migration by photoredox catalysis

An efficient protocol for the construction of 1,5-diketones was realized in the presence of organic fluorophore 4CzIPN, diaryliodonium salt, and visible light irradiation.
