We describe a strategy to chlorinate stereocomplementary acyclic aliphatic 1,3-diols using a mixture of triphosgene and pyridine. While 1,3-anti diols readily led to 1,3-anti dichlorides, 1,3-syn diols must be converted to 1,3-syn diol monosilylethers to access the corresponding 1,3-syn dichlorides. These dichlorination protocols were operationally simple, very mild, and readily tolerated by advanced synthetic intermediates.

Herein, we report a formal C-C bond azidation and cyanation of unactivated aliphatic ketones using commercially available tosyl azide and cyanide, respectively. A visible-light-mediated organophotocatalyst enables radical azidation and cyanation of ketone-derived pro-aromatic dihydroquinazolinones (under mostly redox-neutral conditions) as supported by preliminary mechanistic studies. These metal-free and scalable protocols can be used to synthesize tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl azides and nitriles with good functional group tolerance and postsynthetic diversification of the azide group, including bioconjugation.

Herein we present photoinduced cobaloxime-catalyzed selective remote desaturation of aliphatic alcohols. This transformation, which proceeds efficiently at room temperature, facilitates the synthesis of valuable cyclic and acyclic allylic and homoallylic alcohols from readily available saturated aliphatic alcohols. Remarkably, this method obviates the need for external oxidants, noble metal catalysts, and phosphine ligands.

Article Synopsis
- - Ketone-to-alkene transformations are important in organic chemistry, and recent nickel-catalyzed reductive alkenylation reactions show promise for creating a variety of alkenes using different functional groups.
- - The authors' research started with coupling α-chloroboronates, then expanded to include a range of radical-inactive compounds, leading to the development of new strategies for cross-selectivity in various chemical reactions.
- - These advancements enable efficient synthesis of valuable products, including functionalized cycloalkenes and diverse alkenes, by broadening the types of enol derivatives used in the reactions, making the approach more accessible and practical.

DNA is commonly known as the "molecule of life" because it holds the genetic instructions for all living organisms on Earth. The utilization of modified nucleosides holds the potential to transform the management of a wide range of human illnesses. Modified nucleosides and their role directly led to the 2023 Nobel prize.

A general and practical approach for -alkylation of heteroaromatic amines with heteroaromatic alcohols is always challenging and rarely reported. Here, we designed and synthesized phosphine-free, robust, and efficient N,N-bidentate-Co(II) complexes for a universal -alkylation of amines strategy. This present catalytic methodology can be applied to a wide range of substrates by varying alcohols, including aryl, aliphatic, acyclic, and cyclic groups, with heteroaromatic amines such as aminopyridine, 2-aminopyrimidine, and aminoquinoline to provide diverse monoalkylated organonitrogen compounds in good to excellent yields (108 examples).
