The polyketide natural product cryptocaryol A is prepared in 8 steps via iridium catalyzed enantioselective diol double C-H allylation, which directly generates an acetate-based triketide stereodiad. In 4 previously reported total syntheses, 17-28 steps were required.

A scalable and sustainable electrochemical protocol for allylic C-H aerobic oxidation has been developed, enabling the formation of enones without the use of stoichiometric toxic oxidants or metal catalysts and offering an environmentally benign alternative to traditional chemical oxidation techniques. The process has been successfully applied to selectively oxidize a series of natural products and drug molecules, underscoring its potential for widespread adoption in both academic and industrial contexts.

Rhodium(III) catalysis has been used for C-H activation of -nitrosoanilines with substituted allyl alcohols. This method provides an efficient synthesis of the functional -nitroso β-aryl aldehydes and ketones with low catalyst loading, high functional group tolerance, and superior reactivity of allyl alcohols toward -nitrosoanilines. We demonstrated that reaction also proceeds through the one-pot synthesis of -nitrosoaniline, followed by subsequent, C-H activation.

The direct enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds in organic molecules could fundamentally transform the synthesis of chiral molecules. In particular, the enantioselective oxidation of these bonds would dramatically change the production methods of chiral alcohols and esters, which are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Remarkable advances have been made in the enantioselective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through the C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

The fundamental challenge observed here is the competition between the desired C-H activation the vulnerable β-C-H bond activation of amines and fine-tuning of a suitable oxidant which avoids the oxidation of the β-C-H bond and ferrocene. Herein, the potential of an axially chiral NOBINAc ligand is revealed to implement the enantioselective Pd-catalyzed C-H activation process of ferrocenyl amines.

Isotopic labeling is a powerful technique extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry. By tracking isotope-labeled molecules, researchers gain unique and invaluable insights into the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new drug candidates. Hydrogen isotope labeling is particularly important as hydrogen is ubiquitous in organic molecules in biological systems, and it can be introduced effectively through late-stage hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE).
