The first directing-group-mediated C-H alkenylation with alkenyl-λ-iodanes as electrophilic alkene-transfer reagents has been developed. The application of free aromatic amines as challenging but synthetically valuable directing groups in combination with an Ir catalyst enabled the synthesis of highly desirable 1,3-dienes in excellent yields of up to 98% with high to perfect (Z,E) stereoselectivity. A broad substrate scope and further synthetic modifications are demonstrated.

Direct functionalization of native (N-H) indoles via C-H activation remains a challenge. Herein, we report a salicylaldehyde-promoted cobalt-catalyzed selective C2-H Heck reaction of native (N-H) indoles with both active and unactivated olefins in the presence of free N-H bonds. A series of structurally diverse C2-alkenylated native (N-H) indoles including natural product and drug derivatives were prepared directly and effectively without additional preprotection and deprotection procedures.

Article Synopsis
- A new method for the oxidative C-H alkenylation of benzoic acid using [Ru(η-CH)Cl] catalyst has been developed, operating efficiently in water at mild temperatures (60 °C).
- The reaction shows regioselectivity, producing mono-olefinated products when using activated alkenes like acrylates, while both mono and diolefinated products emerge from unactivated alkenes such as styrene.
- A novel five-membered cyclic compound was formed from vinylferrocene as a coupling partner, indicating a unique reactivity profile compared to other alkenes.

A ligand-promoted oxidative dehydrogenation C-H alkenylation of indoles and olefins was achieved using commercial and low-cost Co(NO)·6HO as a catalyst and Mn(OAc) as an oxidant. The design and selection of electrically unique methyl-substituted salicylaldehyde as a ligand is the key to achieve this transformation. This protocol can introduce an indole backbone into diverse bioactive molecules such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and Estrol for late-stage synthetic modification, which has potential applications in the discovery of drug molecules containing an indole motif.

An unprecedented Pd-catalyzed cascade alkyne insertion/Heck/C-H activation reaction of -iodophenyl alkenyl ethers and diarylacetylenes has been developed. Diversified tetracyclic-fused dihydroindeno[2,1-]chromenes bearing a quaternary center were constructed in an efficient, straightforward, and atom-economic way with good to excellent yields. The protocol features high bonding efficiency, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and easy scale-up.

Under iridium-catalyzed conditions, 2-aza-aryl-substituted secondary alcohols undergo C(sp)-H addition reactions to alkynes to provide alkenylated tertiary alcohols. The processes occur with very high regio- and enantioselectivity. An analogous addition to styrene is shown to provide a prototype C(sp)-H alkylation process.
