The novel palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions of 2-picolinic acid with aryl and heteroaryl bromides including benzenes, naphthalenes, pyridines and quinolines for C-C bond formation have been successfully achieved.

An efficient three component one-pot method was developed to assemble 2-heteroaryl-2-aryl acetates via VNS(Ar)-S(N)Ar and VNS(Ar)-S(N) reaction by using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as general solvent.

A new Buchwald-type diphosphine ligand has been developed for applications in Pd-catalyzed amination reactions towards the preparation of triarylamines. The catalyst can be used to perform the amination of a diverse array of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides.

An eco-friendly "on-water" protocol for efficient catalyst-free synthesis of the Hantzsch dihydropyridines from aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and vinylogous aldehydes has been developed with minimum auxiliary substances, toxic reagents, organic solvents, and disposal problems.

The title complexes [mu-(E)-4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)dipyridine-kappa(2)N:N']bis[halotris(4-methylphenyl)tin(IV)], [Sn(2)(C(7)H(7))(6)X(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2))], where halo is chloro (X = Cl) and bromo (X = Br) are isostructural. In both crystals, the molecules lie on inversion centers, and there are voids of ca 80 A(3) that could, but apparently do not, accommodate water molecules. The corresponding i...

A photoredox-catalyzed C–H functionalization of heteroarenes using a variety of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyltrifluoroborates is reported. Using Fukuzumi's organophotocatalyst and a mild oxidant, conditions amenable for functionalizing complex heteroaromatics are described, providing a valuable tool for late-stage derivatization. The reported method addresses the three major limitation...

This paper describes the photophysical properties of a series seven selected examples 5-(alkyl/aryl/heteroaryl)-2-methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines (3), which contain alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl substituents attached to scaffolds 3. Given electron-donor groups -withdrawing groups, optical absorption emission in solid state solution showed interesting results. Absorption UV–Vi...

We describe the functionalization of α-amino C-H bonds with aryl halides using a combination of nickel and photoredox catalysis. This direct C-H, C-X coupling uses inexpensive and readily available starting materials to generate benzylic amines, an important class of bioactive molecules. Mechanistically, this method features the direct arylation of α-amino radicals mediated by a nickel catalyst...
