The synthetic control of atropoisomerism along C-N bonds is a major challenge, and methods that allow C-N atroposelective bond formation are rare. This is a problem because each atropoisomer can feature starkly differentiated biological properties. Yet, among the three most practical and applicable classical amination methods available: 1) the Cu-catalyzed Ullmann-Goldberg reaction, 2) the Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, and 3) the Cu-catalyzed Chan-Evans-Lam reaction, none has truly been rendered atroposelective at the newly formed C-N bond.

In the past decade, compounds bearing a stereogenic C-N axis have gained significant attention in fields ranging from ligand to drug design. Yet, the atroposelective synthesis of these molecules remains a considerable challenge. In contrast to recent methods using more advanced chiral catalysts, a very simply accessed Jacobsen-type chromium(III)-salen complex was used here as a chiral enantiopure Lewis acid catalyst for a highly atroposelective Nenitzescu indole synthesis.

The late stage photochemical hydroxylation of biaryl sulfonium salts was enabled with a TEMPO derivative as a simple oxygen source, in metal free conditions. The scope and mechanism of this exceptionally simple synthetic method, which constructs important arylated phenols from aromatic C-H bonds, are herein discussed.

Heavy-atom-modified chalcogen-fused triarylamine organic materials are becoming increasingly important in the photochemical sciences. In this context, the general and direct dehydrogenative C-H phenochalcogenazination of phenols with the heavier chalcogens selenium and tellurium is herein described. The latter dehydrogenative C-N bond-forming processes operate under simple reaction conditions with highly sustainable O serving as the terminal oxidant.
