A strategy is reported in which traceless directing groups (TDGs) are used to promote the redox-neutral Mn -catalyzed regioselective synthesis of N-heterocycles. Alkyne coupling partners bearing a traceless directing group, which serves as both the chelator and internal oxidant, were used to control the regioselectivity of the annulation reactions. This operationally simple approach is highly effective with previously challenging unsymmetrical alkyne systems, including unbiased dialkyl alkynes, with perfect regioselectivity. The simple conditions and the ability to carry out synthesis on a gram scale underscore the usefulness of this method. The application of this strategy in the concise synthesis of the bioactive compound PK11209 and the pharmaceutical moxaverine is also described.

1-Isochromene scaffolds are ubiquitous in natural products and significant bioactive molecules. Although several methods for these molecular syntheses have been developed, reports on the efficient construction of iminated isochromenes are still rather limited. Herein, we report a new Cu(II)-catalyzed annulation and sulfonylimination cascade of α-carbonyl-γ-alkynyl sulfoxonium ylides with sulfamides, enabling direct C-C σ-bond elimination to furnish iminated ()-1-isochromenes in 51-97% yields.

Palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization has attracted considerable attention as a pathway to late-stage modification of peptides. Herein, we report the Pd-catalyzed C(sp)-H arylation of peptides directed by an amidoxime ether, which can be easily incorporated into peptides at any amide bond. Site- and stereoselective arylation of peptides has been achieved, including unprecedented functionalization of internal residues of native peptides.

Inspired by natural cryptic halogenation in -bond formation, this study developed a synthetic approach combining biocatalytic bromination with transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling. Using the cyanobacterial VHPO, a robust and sustainable bromination-arylation cascade was created. Genetic modifications allowed enzyme immobilization, enhancing the compatibility between biocatalysis and chemocatalysis.

Developing asymmetric transformations using electroredox and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed radical pathways is still desirable and challenging. Herein, we report an iodide-promoted β-carbon activation (LUMO-lowering process) of enals via electroredox carbene catalysis coupled with a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This strategy offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable route for rapidly assembling synthetically useful chiral naphthopyran-3-one in good to excellent yield and enantioselectivity using traceless electrons as inexpensive and greener oxidants.

While selective defunctionalizations are valuable in organic synthesis, hydrodeamination of primary amines poses challenges. Deuterodeamination, analogous to hydrodeamination, presents even greater difficulties due to its frequently slower deuteration rate, interference by hydrogenation and constraints in deuterated sources. This study introduces a reliable, robust, and scalable hydro- and deuterodeamination method capable of handling various primary amines.
