Photoredox-catalyzed allylation of α--difluorinated organohalides with allyl sulfones proceeded smoothly under visible light irradiation to give 4,4-difluoroalkenes in good yields. In the presence of catalytic Ru(bpy)Cl, Hantzsch ester, and diisopropylethylamine, the reaction was complete within 2 h. Using the same methodology, three-component cascade reactions to give 6,6-difluoroalkenes were carried out successfully.

Ferrocenyl amines as directing groups for C-H activation have limitations as they are prone to undergo oxidation, allylic deamination, and β-hydride elimination. The fundamental challenge observed here is the competition between the desired C-H activation the vulnerable β-C-H bond activation of amines and fine-tuning of a suitable oxidant which avoids the oxidation of the β-C-H bond and ferrocene. Herein, the potential of an axially chiral NOBINAc ligand is revealed to implement the enantioselective Pd-catalyzed C-H activation process of ferrocenyl amines.

Precise control of selective alkene functionalization is a continuing challenge in the chemical community. In this study, we develop a substitution-controlled regiodivergent thioetherification of di- or trisubstituted alkenes using 10 mol % tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(CF)] as a catalyst and N-thiosuccinimide as a sulfenylating reagent. This metal-free borane catalyzed C-S bond forming method is utilized for a Csp-H sulfenylation reaction to synthesize an array of diphenylvinylsulfide derivatives with good to excellent yields (25 examples, up to 91 % yield).

Catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is a challenging issue due to the difficulties in achieving high catalytic efficiency and controlling the enantioselectivity. Herein, by using a copper(I)-()-DTBM-SEGPHOS complex as a catalyst and 2-acylimidazoles as pronucleophiles, a general method for the catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is accomplished. Various alkyl electrophiles, including allyl bromides, benzyl bromides, propargyl bromide, and unactivated alkyl sulfonates, serve as efficient alkylation reagents.

A novel carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) graft copolymer (CMC-g-PSMAS) was successfully synthesized by grafting sodium methacrylate sulfonate (SMAS) onto CMC. The resulting CMC-g-PSMAS was used to absorb 1-allyl-3-methylimidazole chloride ([Amim]Cl) ionic liquid. The effects of different experimental factors such as monomer dosage, temperature and time on the grafting yield were systematically studied.
