A palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization of an external ring of N-acyl 2-aminobiaryl with bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (norbornene) via multiple C-H bond activations was developed. This study is the first report of the formation of bis-norbornene annulated biarylamines isomers ( syn-3a'/ anti-3a' = 36:64) from multiple C-H bond functionalizations. Additionally, nondirected C-H bond functionalization at the C-4' position with alkenes rendered complete C-H functionalization of five C-H bonds that formed a stable hexasubstituted benzene ring.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.

Article Synopsis
- CO hydrogenation has been identified as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to methanol in the side-chain alkylation of 4-methylpyridine (MEPY) using a ZnZrO/CsX tandem catalyst, achieving a conversion rate of 19.6%.
- This new method results in 82% selectivity for 4-ethylpyridine (ETPY) and demonstrates 6.5 times greater activity compared to traditional methanol-mediated processes.
- The success of this catalytic process is attributed to the dual functionality of the catalyst components, facilitating both CO hydrogenation and the activation of C-H and C-C bonds, with CHO* species acting as the crucial intermediate.

Employing electrochemistry for the selective functionalization of liquid alkanes allows for sustainable and efficient production of high-value chemicals. However, the large potentials required for C(sp)-H bond functionalization and low water solubility of such alkanes make it challenging. Here we discover that a Pt/IrO electrocatalyst with optimized Cl binding energy enables selective generation of Cl free radicals for C-H chlorination of alkanes.

An adequate understanding of the NO interacting chemistry is a prerequisite for a smoother transition to carbon-lean and carbon-free fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen. In this regard, this study presents a comprehensive study on the H atom abstraction by NO from C to C alkynes, dienes, and trienes forming 3 HNO isomers (i.e.
