Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation is found to be compatible with Boc protecting groups. Thus, pyrroles, indoles, and azaindoles can be selectively functionalized at C-H positions beta to N. The Boc group can be removed on thermolysis or left intact during subsequent transformations.

Electrochemistry-enabled Ir-catalyzed C-H/N-N bond activation facilitates [3+2] annulation of phenidones with propiolates.

A mild and efficient [3+2] annulation of phenidones with propiolates has been developed to access -substituted indole alkylamides, enabled by merging electrochemistry with iridium catalysis using an undivided cell at room temperature. The mechanistic studies have confirmed that the electrochemically mediated catalytic cycle of Ir-Ir-Ir exhibits enhanced efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and unconventional selectivity.

Iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons assisted by a directing group was theoretically investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed both Ir-catalyzed C(sp)-H and C(sp)-H borylations via an Ir/Ir catalytic cycle, where the tetra-coordinated (C, N)Ir(Bpin) complex with two vacant sites is an active species. Dramatically, the orientation of cyclometalation for C(sp)-H bond activation assisted by a directing group is different from the C(sp)-H one.

Direct borylation of C-H bonds is a privileged strategy to access versatile building blocks and valuable derivatives of complex molecules (late-stage functionalization, metabolite synthesis). This perspective aims to provide an overview and classification of the catalytic systems developed in this fast-growing area of research. Unexpected selectivity differences between two established directed-borylation systems have been discovered using high-throughput experimentation highlighting the importance of classical control experiments in catalysis research.

The indole moiety is ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. C-H borylation of the benzenoid moiety of indoles is a challenging task, especially at the C5 position. We have combined computational and experimental studies to introduce multiple noncovalent interactions, especially dispersion, between the substrate and catalytic ligand to realize C5-borylation of indoles with high reactivity and selectivity.

Article Synopsis
- The total synthesis of tanshinone IIA, a bioactive diterpene from a Chinese plant, was achieved using a common tetralin building block.
- Key methods in the synthesis included creating a 3,4-disubstituted furan and employing regioselective C-H functionalization reactions, like Pd-catalyzed iodination and Ir-catalyzed borylation.
- An intramolecular stanna-Brook type reaction was utilized to build the quinone ring structure of the target compound.
