The (η -pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt(III) (Cp*Co )-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and α,β-unsaturated Weinreb amides was explored. C-H allylation reactions with the use of allyl carbonate and a perfluoroalkene, oxidative alkenylation reactions with the use of ethyl acrylate, iodination reactions with the use of N-iodosuccinimide, and amidation reactions with the use of dioxazolones were catalyzed by Cp*Co(CO)I in the presence of a cationic Ag salt and AgOAc to afford various synthetically useful building blocks. Mechanistic studies of the C-H allylation disclosed that the C-H activation step was rate determining and virtually irreversible.

The grafting of a -(CH)PR moiety on an NHC ligand backbone in the Mn(I) complex [Cp(CO)Mn(IMes)] followed by double deprotonation opens a route to bidentate ligands with extreme electron-donating character. Such remarkable electronic properties can even allow intramolecular sp C-H functionalization in typically inert square-planar Rh(I) dicarbonyl complexes.

Reported herein is the first example of a ruthenium-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation of phenothiazine-3-carbaldehydes to construct structurally diverse pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission characteristics. Novel organic single-molecule white-light materials based on pyrido[3,4-]phenothiazin-3-iums with dual-emission and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics have been developed for the first time herein. Furthermore, the dual-emission molecule could be fabricated as water-dispersed NPs, which could be applied in two-channel emission intensity ratio imaging to observe the intercellular structure and can specifically target the cell membrane.

A Pt(II) aqua complex supported by mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-immobilized sulfonated CNN pincer ligand featuring a rigid SiO tether was prepared. This hybrid material was tested as a catalyst in H/D exchange reactions of C(sp)-H bonds of selected aromatic substrates and DO-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol- (TFE-) mixtures or CDCOD acting as a source of exchangeable deuterium. The catalyst immobilization served as a means to not only enable the catalyst's recyclability but also minimize the coordination of sulfonate groups and the metal centers originating from different catalyst's moieties that would preserve reactive Pt(OH) fragments needed for catalytic C-H bond activation.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

The group 1 alumanyls, [{SiN}AlM] (M = K, Rb, Cs; SiN = {CHSiMeNDipp}), display a variable kinetic facility (K < Rb < Cs) toward oxidative addition of the acidic C-H bond of terminal alkynes to provide the corresponding alkali metal hydrido(alkynyl)aluminate derivatives. Theoretical analysis of the formation of these compounds through density functional theory (DFT) calculations implies that the experimentally observed changes in reaction rate are a consequence of the variable stability of the [{SiN}AlM] dimers, the integrity of which reflects the ability of M to maintain the polyhapto group 1-arene interactions necessary for dimer propagation. These observations highlight that such "on-dimer" reactivity takes place sequentially and also that the ability of each constituent Al(I) center to effect the activation of the organic substrate is kinetically differentiated.
