Upon treatment with a combination of HFIP and an organic sulfonic acid, alkenes behave as Brønsted bases and protonate to give carbocations which can be trapped by electron-rich arenes. The reaction constitutes a Friedel-Crafts hydroarylation which proceeds with Markovnikov selectivity and is orthogonal to traditional metal-catalyzed processes. Intermolecular transfer hydrogenation and hydrothiolation under analogous conditions are also demonstrated.

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between organometallic reagents and electrophiles is a potent method for constructing C(sp)-C(sp) bonds. Given the characters of organometallic reagents, cross-reductive coupling is emerging as an alternative strategy. The resurgence of electrochemistry offers an ideal method for electrochemical reductive of cross-coupling electrophiles.

We studied the reaction pathway of our reductive Heck hydroarylation using a palladium catalyst and a hydrosilane. A key question to verify the reaction mechanism was which active species, Ar-Pd-I or Si-Pd-H, first performs migratory insertion into the alkenes. Identifying this step is crucial to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Transition-metal-catalyzed hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes metal hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) is an attractive approach for the construction of C(sp)-C(sp) bonds. However, this kind of reaction focuses mainly on using reductive hydrosilane as a hydrogen donor. Here, a novel photoinduced Co/Ni-cocatalyzed Markovnikov hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes with aryl bromides using protons as a hydrogen source has been developed.

There are only a few examples being reported for the simultaneous control of central chirality and axial chirality because it is more challenging. Herein, we report an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes with heterobiaryls to simultaneously construct axial and central chirality. The reaction showed a broad substrate scope and delivered the products with satisfactory results.

Mn-catalyzed hydroarylation polyaddition of 1-(2-pyrimidinyl)pyrrole (1a) with aromatic diynes is investigated. The use of commercially available MnBr(CO) as a precatalyst under the optimized reaction conditions resulted in a site- and regioselective hydroarylation polyaddition, affording the corresponding poly(arylenevinylene)s (PAVs) with excellent vinylene selectivity. The reaction protocol eliminates the production of stoichiometric amounts of byproducts from the monomers.
