A weakly coordinating carboxylate directing group assisted C-H activation with maleimides leading to novel and switchable decarboxylative Heck-type and [4 + 1] annulation products catalyzed by Rh(III) has been reported. In these reactions, solvents play a vital role in switching the selectivity. An aprotic solvent, THF, leads to the decarboxylative Heck-type product while the protic solvent, TFE, results in the [4 + 1] annulation product. The methodology shows high functional group tolerance.

Electromagnetic mill (EMM)-promoted solid-state cascade Heck-type cyclization/decarboxylative coupling of propiolic acid with (Z)-1-iodo-1,6-diene derivate was demonstrated. The reaction was realized via palladium catalysis, which is solvent-free and involves no additional heating. The collision between ferromagnetic rods could not only be a favor to the mixing between the solid substrates and the catalyst system, but also the thermogenic action could accelerate this transformation.

A unique Pd-catalyzed approach for asymmetric (4+1) annulations via cascade allylation and transient σ-alkyl-Pd(II) initiated methylene Csp -H activation is reported. The enolate fragment derived from the decarboxylation of vinyl methylene carbonate is crucial to stabilize the key intermediate. These reactions enable the synthesis of various useful dihydrobenzofurans with excellent enantioselectivity, typically >95 : 5 er, and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity.

ConspectusC-C single bonds are ubiquitous in organic compounds. The activation and subsequent functionalization of C-C single bonds provide a unique opportunity to synthesize conventionally inaccessible molecules through the rearrangement of carbon skeletons, often with a favorable atom and step economy. However, the C-C bonds are thermodynamically and kinetically inert.

The self-assembly of styrene-type olefins into the corresponding stilbenes was conveniently performed in the () mixture 1/2 under air and in the absence of hazardous organic co-solvents using a one-pot chemo-biocatalytic route. Here, an enzymatic decarboxylation of -hydroxycinnamic acids sequentially followed by a ruthenium-catalyzed metathesis of olefins has been investigated in . Moreover, and to extend the design of chemoenzymatic processes in , we also coupled the aforementioned enzymatic decarboxylation reaction to now concomitant Pd-catalyzed Heck-type C-C coupling to produce biaryl derivatives under environmentally friendly reaction conditions.
