Heteroaryl compounds are valuable building blocks in medicinal chemistry and chemical industry. A palladium-catalyzed direct α-C(sp3) heteroarylation of ketones under microwave irradiation is developed and reported in this study. Under optimized conditions, twenty-eight (28) heteroarylated ketones were prepared in this study to demonstrate the substrate scope of this reaction. The ground-state optimized structure of Pd(0) active catalyst with 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos) in toluene, and the products of its reaction with 3-bromopyridine and acetophenone were studied using all-atom density functional theory. This study provided insightful information for palladium catalytic system design to generate heteroaryl compounds.

Pd-catalyzed C4-selective alkynylation of indoles was established by employing glycine as a transient directing group. This reaction exhibits high regioselectivity with the tolerance of a wide scope of functional groups to afford diverse alkynylated indoles in moderate to good yields. Moreover, the readily accessible scale-up synthesis and further decorations to achieve multifunctionalized indoles demonstrate the synthetic potential of this protocol.

The C2- or C3-selective direct C-H arylation of nonsubstituted 1-pyrrole with aryl chlorides/nonaflates was achieved using catalysts derived from palladium and appropriate phosphine ligands. The site selectivity of the arylation can be switched by changing the ligands, and the C3-selective arylation of nonsubstituted 1-pyrrole was realized for the first time. BuOLi played an important role in suppressing N-arylation and accelerating C2- or C3-arylation.

-Alkylation of amines is a vital reaction in the synthesis of numerous bioactive compounds and materials. Among transition metals, palladium has emerged as a particularly effective catalyst for these transformations. The unique advantages of palladium arise from its superior catalytic efficiency, ability to operate under mild conditions, high selectivity and recyclability.

Among the known aromatic -heterocycles, pyrroles are significant and versatile privileged components in pharmacologically relevant molecules. Herein, we demonstrate a protocol for the selective construction of alkynylated pyrroles in a diversity-oriented fashion through divergent C2/C5 site-selective alkynylation of pyrrole derivatives by employing a palladium catalyst with two different solvent systems. In the presence of 1,4-dioxane, the C2-alkynylation process via chelation-assisted palladation is favored.
