A new type of intermolecular alkylative olefination of unactivated olefins and alkyl halides has been realized for the first time. This copper-promoted Heck-type reaction employs a directing-group strategy to efficiently produce the coupled alkyl olefin products with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. A broad substrate scope including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl bromides and various nonactivated alkenes could be well tolerated. DFT calculations disclosed a dimethyl sulfoxide assisted concerted H-Br elimination process of a conformationally strained Cu(III) cyclic transition state.

An operationally simple and robust method for the direct arylation and ring closure of benzofurans is reported. Besides the mild conditions and good reaction yields, the methodology is applicable for a wide range of derivatives using commercially available aryl iodides with complete C regioselectivity. The reaction is proposed to follow a Heck-type oxyarylation mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new method to synthesize 9 core-functionalised naphthalene diimide (c-NDI) compounds using a three-step, solvent-free process that activates chemicals mechanically.
- They achieved selective dibromination of naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride in a vibratory ball mill, producing a key intermediate (2,6-dibromonaphthalenediimide) quickly and efficiently within 5 hours, significantly faster than traditional methods.
- The study also successfully executed rapid Heck-type cross coupling reactions with various styrene residues, resulting in good yields of c-NDIs without the need for extra heating or solvents, making the process robust against environmental conditions.

A palladium-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation of -arylimidoyl chlorides with β-keto esters has been developed. In the presence of Pd(OAc), PCy, and KPO, a variety of fluoalkyl-containing -arylimidoyl chlorides smoothly underwent the cascade C-H imidoylation/deacylative Heck-type reactions to afford biologically important 2-fluoroalkyl indoles in moderate to good yields.

A nucleopalladation-triggered cascade transformation of internal alkynes bearing an amino nucleophile and an electrophilic enone was investigated under unconventional microwave-assisted conditions. Among the three possible pathways, the chloropalladation-triggered domino process proceeded selectively to furnish 3-chloro-1-indenes in good to excellent yields. The reactions under microwave irradiation were completed in 30 min, and the conventional heating required 3-5 h for completion.

The copper-catalyzed strategy employing the 8-aminoquinoline directing group has proven to be a highly advantageous approach for functionalizing C-H bonds. In this study, we present the successful application of this strategy to accomplish Heck-type coupling reactions and construct β-lactam skeletons, simultaneously introducing a unique cyano functional group. The resulting Heck-type coupling products demonstrate good stereo- and region-selectivity.
