An intermolecular C-H functionalization method is developed for the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles. Rh(III)-catalyzed N-nitroso-directed C-H addition to ethyl 2-oxoacetate allows subsequent denitrosation-triggered cyclization construction of 3-hydroxy-2-oxindoles. The method features a broad substrate scope and its synthetic utility is demonstrated on the synthesis of target compounds bearing functional groups (hydroxyl, bromo) amenable to further elaboration.

C-H activation is the most direct way of functionalizing organic molecules. Many advances in this field still require specific directing groups to achieve the necessary activity and selectivity. Developing C-H activation reactions directed by native functional groups is essential for their broad application in synthesis.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.

Organic-inorganic hybrid lead halides have been extensively studied due to their outstanding physical properties and diverse compositional elements. However, environmentally benign tin-based hybrids with remarkable flexibility in bandgap engineering have been less investigated. Herein, we report the successful design and synthesis of three tin-based organic-inorganic hybrid compounds through precise molecular modification: [Me(i-Pr)N][SnBr] (), [MeCHCl(i-Pr)N][SnBr] (), and [MeCHBr(i-Pr-Br)N][SnBr] ().

Here, we report the synthesis and self-assembly of a novel chiral 2,3 : 6,7-naphthalenediimide-based triangular macrocycle (NDI-Δ) and its chiroptical properties. The enantiomeric NDI-Δ is synthesized by condensation of (RR) or (SS)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and 2,3,6,7-naphthalenetetracarboxylic 2,3 : 6,7-dianhydride, in which the chirality of the macrocycles is controlled by the diamine. With the rigid outer π-surface, the macrocycle exhibits unique chiroptical properties and self-assembly modes.
