Article Abstract
A new and efficient synthesis of 8H-benzo[e]phenanthro[1,10-bc]silines from 2-((2-(arylethynyl)aryl)silyl)aryl triflates under palladium catalysis has been developed. The reaction mechanism was experimentally investigated and a catalytic cycle involving C-H/C-H coupling through a new mode of 1,4-palladium migration with concomitant alkene stereoisomerization is proposed.

A Cu-promoted highly chemoselective dimerization of 5-aminopyrazoles to produce pyrazole-fused pyridazines and pyrazines is reported. The protocol generates switchable products via the direct coupling of C-H/N-H, C-H/C-H and N-H/N-H bonds, with the merits of broad substrate scope and high functional group compatibility. Gram-scale experiments demonstrated the potential applications of this reaction.

We report the first regioselective C2-C7 oxidative coupling of indoles using a palladium catalyst upon the strategic installation of -pyridinyl and C3-carbonyl, which delivers 2,7-biindoles with a broad scope (25 examples; up to 93% yield). Isolation of the catalytic intermediate reveals the initial activation of the C(7)-H bond, followed by the C(2)-H bond in indoles, and the reaction proceeds a Pd(II)/Pd(0) pathway.

Oxidative cross-dehydrogenative C-H/C-H functionalizations represent an exemplary approach for synthesizing carbonyl compounds via α-heteroarylation. Here we present the development of a direct anodic oxidative coupling process between 2-acylimidazoles and divergent heterocyclic systems including indole, pyrrole, and furan, facilitated by ferrocene-assisted asymmetric nickel electrocatalysis with high levels of enantioselectivity. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction initially involves the formation of a chiral Ni-bound α-carbonyl radical, which is then captured by the heteroarene radical cation via intermolecular stereoselective radical/radical cation coupling.

2,3'-Bisindoles with C-C linkages have attracted interest in medicinal chemistry, yet their synthesis is intricate with many steps. Notably, direct C-H/C-H cross-coupling of non-directed heteroaromatics remains challenging, often requiring precious metals and oxidants to enhance coupling efficiency. Herein, we present a copper-catalyzed C-H/C-H cross-coupling method for N-substituted indoles without directing groups, facilitated by molecular oxygen under gentle conditions.

We herein disclose a highly efficient one-pot synthetic strategy for dihydrobenzo[]fluorenes via cascade rhodium(III)-catalyzed -C-H activation/annulation of thiobenzamides with aryl ethynyl ketones and subsequently copper(II)-promoted intramolecular C-H/C-H cross-coupling reactions. Mechanistic investigations suggest that Cu(II) plays two crucial roles by serving as a sulfide scavenger to regenerate the Rh(III) catalyst and promoting the intramolecular C-H/C-H cross-coupling reaction. This protocol greatly streamlines accesses to a variety of appealing tetracyclic benzo[]fluorene skeletons, which may have potential biological activity and medicinal properties.
