A reaction of bromo- and iododifluoromethyl-substituted silanes with electron-deficient alkenes in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene borane complex is described. The reaction is performed under irradiation with light-emitting diodes and proceeds via a radical chain mechanism. The resulting products, the functionalized silicon reagents, can undergo chemoselective transformations involving either the silyldifluoromethyl fragment or the functional group.

In this study, an iridium-catalyzed selective 1,4-reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is realized, with water as a solvent and formic acid as a hydride donor. The new efficient iridium catalyst features a 2-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)quinoline ligand. The chemoselectivity and catalyst efficiency are highly dependent on the electronic and steric properties of the substrates.

We report a Ni-catalyzed vicinal alkylarylation of unactivated alkenes in γ,δ- and δ,ε-alkenylamines with aryl halides and alkylzinc reagents. The reaction is enabled by amine coordination and can use all primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. The reaction constructs two new C(sp)-C(sp) and C(sp)-C(sp) bonds and produces δ- and ε-arylamines with C(sp)-branching at the γ- and δ-positions.

A selective green-light-induced hydroselenation of alkenes with diselenides using Hantzsch ester as the hydrogen donor has been developed. In the case of electron-neutral diaryl diselenides and diacyl ones, alkenes undergo anti-Markovnikov-selective hydroselenation. When switching to electron-deficient diaryl diselenides and dialkyl ones, Markovnikov-selective hydroselenation occurs.

NHC boryl radical mediated halogen atom transfer (XAT) is useful in organic synthesis. Yet, most of the reaction ends only with reducing the halogen to hydrogen, that is, the C-X to C-H. This is especially dominant for electron-deficient alkyl halides, where the formed electrophilic radical reacts rapidly with NHC boranes.

Article Synopsis
- - P2-Bu, a phosphazene base, effectively catalyzes a three-component reaction that combines diethyl phosphite, cinnamonitrile derivatives, and -Boc imines to create β-aminophosphonates.
- - This reaction is notable for producing compounds with a tetrasubstituted carbon while maintaining high levels of diastereoselectivity.
- - It introduces a new approach for a rare reaction type called 1,1-difunctionalization of an electron-deficient alkene, expanding the methods available for reactions catalyzed by Brønsted bases.
