Direct dehydrogenative coupling between the linear ter- and quaternaphthalenes and substituted benzenes was achieved under the Kita conditions using the hypervalent PIFA/BF3 reagent. Products resulting from either the double arylation of the naphthalenic substrate or the formal dimerizative arylation have been prepared. For example, in the latter mode, ternaphthalene was converted into a series of linear octiarenes (counting the capping Ar). The process represents an alternative to the cross-coupling methodologies employed in related syntheses and proceeds via a selective functionalization of six relatively inert aromatic CH bonds.

Sulfur functional groups are ubiquitous in molecules used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and within these collections sulfones hold a prominent position. The double aza-analogues of sulfones, sulfondiimines, offer significant potential in discovery chemistry but to date their applications have been limited by the lack of convenient synthetic routes. The existing methods mainly rely on imination of low-valent-sulfur intermediates, or the combination of pre-formed organometallic reagents and electrophilic S(VI)-functionalities.

2-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)malonates, readily prepared by SAr-arylation of diethyl malonate with -fluoronitrobenzenes, followed by S2-alkylatioin of the resulting products with -nitrobenzyl bromides, undergo a tandem Fe/AcOH-promoted nitro-reduction and double lactamization sequence to afford spiro[indoline-3,3'-quinoline]-2,2'-diones in high overall yields. The method is operationally simple, economical, and has a broad substrate scope. The synthetic practicality of this methodology was illustrated by performing the reaction on a gram scale with the same efficiency.

With the combination of the -heterocyclic carbene-PdCl-1-methylimidazole complex and CuO, we succeeded in the first example of double direct C-H bond arylation reactions between thiophenes and aryl chlorides, giving the desired 2,5-diarylated thiophenes in moderate to high yields under suitable conditions, consistent with the density functional theory calculations.

Isomerisation reactions provide streamlined routes to organic compounds which are otherwise hard to directly synthesise. The most common forms are positional, geometrical or stereochemical isomerisations which involve the relocation of a double bond or a change in relative location of groups in space. In contrast, far fewer examples of structural (or constitutional) isomerisation exist where the connectivity between atoms is altered.

Anthracenylidene is an intriguing structural unit with potential in various fields. The study presents a novel approach to introducing axial chirality into this all-carbon core skeleton through a remotely controlled desymmetrization strategy. A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective Heck arylation of exocyclic double bond of anthracene with two distinct substituents at the C10 position is harnessed to realize such a transformation.
