Published: November 2016

Palladium catalyzed selective distal C-H activation with nitrile based templates has been of significant research interest in recent times. In this report, we disclose the distal C-H olefination of biphenyl systems with high regio- and stereo-selectivity and useful synthetic yields. The utility of this method has been demonstrated through its wide olefin scope, its operation at the gram scale and the easy removal/recovery of the directing group.

Chiral heterocyclic alcohols and amines are frequently used building blocks in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report a one-pot photoenzymatic synthesis route for -Boc-3-amino/hydroxy-pyrrolidine and -Boc-4-amino/hydroxy-azepane with up to 90% conversions and >99% enantiomeric excess. The transformation combines a photochemical oxyfunctionalization favored for distal C-H positions with a stereoselective enzymatic transamination or carbonyl reduction step.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the potential benefits of mechanical thrombectomy for ischemic stroke patients with distal medium vessel occlusions, focusing on the role of computed tomography perfusion imaging.
  • The research analyzed data from 140 patients treated at a high-volume stroke center from 2015 to 2023, assessing the relationship between recanalization and functional outcomes using logistic regression analysis.
  • Findings suggest that while recanalization did not universally improve outcomes, significant treatment effects were observed in patients with larger hypoperfusion and penumbral volumes, indicating that penumbral imaging could help guide treatment decisions.

The directing group (DG)-assisted approach has so far been the major route to achieve selective C-H activation at both proximal and distal positions. While rhodium catalysts are highly effective in DG-assisted ortho-C-H arylation, meta-C-H arylation with rhodium has not yet been reported. In this study, we present the first example of Rh-catalyzed meta-C-H arylation of arenes.
