A novel Ni(0) -catalyzed carboxylation of aryl tosylates with carbon dioxide has been achieved under moderate temperatures and atmospheric pressure. In this procedure, the active Ni(0) species is generated in situ by simply mixing the Ni(0) precatalyst [NiBr2 (bipy)] with an excess of manganese metal. This approach requires neither a glove-box nor the tedious preparation of sophisticated intermediate organometallic derivatives. This mild, convenient, and user-friendly process is successfully applied to the valorization of carbon dioxide and the synthesis of versatile reactants with broad tolerance of substituents.

Amino alcohols are vital in natural products, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and as key building blocks for various applications. Traditional synthesis methods often rely on polar bond retrosynthetic analysis, requiring extensive protecting group manipulations that complicate direct access. Here we show a streamlined approach using a serine-derived chiral carboxylic acid in stereoselective electrocatalytic decarboxylative transformations, enabling efficient access to enantiopure amino alcohols.

The reduction of aryl carboxylates to methyl and allyl arene was attained using a well-defined cobalt catalyst. This catalytic transformation employs only a sub-stoichiometric amount of base, and diethylsilane as a reductant. Catalytic activation of the Si-H bond of the silanes, C-O bond of the ester, and silyl ether intermediates by cobalt is crucial to achieving exhaustive reduction.

An efficient synthesis of continuously substituted quinoline derivatives palladium-catalyzed intramolecular 6- imidoylative cyclization of -alkenyl aryl isocyanides with (hetero)aryl halides or vinylic triflates has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) mechanism by activation of a vinyl C-H bond with imidoylpalladium assisted by the carboxylate.

A convenient electrochemical oxidative cascade cyclization of alkenes equipped with pendant alcohols with general nucleophiles was developed. Using readily available diarylmethanimine and carboxylic acids as nucleophilic sources, a broad range of internal alkene and terminal alkene substrates could produce RCO- and ArCN-functionalized -heterocycles in moderate to high yields without the requirement for external oxidants and metals. These resulting products can subsequently be hydrolyzed to yield valuable NH- and OH-functionalized tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyranes under mild conditions.
