Dimeric cyclophosphazanes [{P(μ-NR)}2(μ-NR)]2 [R = (t)Bu ( 1) and iPr ( 3)] were oxidized with elemental selenium. During these reactions an unexpected C–N bond cleavage and N–H bond formation occurred. Compound 1 produced P4(μ-N(t)Bu)3(μ-NH)3Se4 ( 2) where three tBu groups were lost in the form of isobutylene. In contrast, during the oxidation of the less sterically hindered 3, the resulting product, P4(μ-N(i)Pr)5(μ-NH)Se4 ( 4), showed only one substituent loss. Theoretical studies confirmed the steric nature of the driving force underlying the different outcomes.

The cycloaddition of aziridines with unsaturated compounds is a valuable method for synthesizing nitrogen heterocycles. However, this process is predominantly substrate-controlled, posing significant challenges in regulating the regioselectivity of the C-N bond cleavage. In this study, we report a nickel-catalyzed dynamic kinetic activation strategy that enables catalyst-controlled activation of aziridines.

The mechanistic understanding of how alkylamines impact Ni-metallophotoredox C-N coupling to form diarylamines remains unclear. In this study, 12-alkylamines were evaluated as additives to determine their effects on the synthesis of diarylamines in a flow photochemical system. Notably, -hexylamine demonstrated the most significant promotional effect.

The isoquinoline core is present in one of the largest subsets of bioactive natural products. The multifunctional isoquinoline core exerts diverse bioactivity, resulting in the development of numerous isoquinoline-based drugs and molecules that are currently under clinical trials. We developed a new approach for phosphite-mediated [1,2] alkyl migration for an overall -C-H alkylation -alkylation of isoquinoline.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

This study investigates possible pathways arising from the reaction of anionic K[Pt(C^N)(-MeCH)(CN)] complexes, C^N = 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy) and 7,8-benzo[h]quinolate (bzq), with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which has been employed in both experimental and computational approaches. Experimental studies clarify that the products of the protonolysis reaction can vary in the K[Pt(C^N)(-MeCH)(CN)] complex depending on the type of the cyclometalated ligand. In the cyclometalated complex with ppy, only one product was observed, resulting from the cleavage of the Pt-C bond of the cyclometalated ligand.
