Being able to utilize a protecting group to influence remote regiocontrol offers a simple alternative approach to direct late-stage functionalization of complex organic molecules. However, protecting groups that have the ability to influence reaction regioselectivity remote to their local chemical environment are not widely reported in the literature. Herein, we report the development of remote regioselective electrophilic aromatic substitution (SAr) reactions that are enabled via the application of the tetrafluoropyridyl (TFP) phenol-protecting group. We demonstrate that through sequential reactions and protection/deprotection of the TFP group, substitution patterns that do not conform to classical SAr regioselectivity rules can be readily accessed.

Borenium-Catalyzed "Boron Walking" for Remote Site-Selective Hydroboration.
J Am Chem Soc
January 2025
Department of Chemistry, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a new method for remote functionalization that uses a borenium ion as a catalyst instead of traditional transition metals, addressing issues like metal residue and catalyst poisoning.
- The process allows for site-selective modification of molecules by enabling the "walking" of a boron group along a carbon chain, ultimately favoring the formation of α-borylation products.
- This metal-free approach shows compatibility with various functional groups and can facilitate the synthesis of unique compounds, including those helpful in creating bioactive molecules.
Synthesis of γ-Amino Amides by Iridium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydroamination of Internal Alkenes Directed by an Amide.

Catalytic regio- and enantioselective hydroamination of less activated internal alkenes presents a challenge to synthetic chemists due to their low reactivity and the difficulty in simultaneously controlling regio- and enantioselectivities. Here, we report an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroamination of internal alkenes directed by an amide. The amide group on the alkene effectively directs the catalyst to overcome the low reactivity and control the regioselectivity and the enantiotopic face selection.

Remote C4-H functionalization of -naphthoic acids is highly challenging due to the presence of proximally more accessible C-H bonds at the C2 and C8 positions. Herein, we report the first palladium-catalyzed direct C4 arylation of 1-naphthamides with high regioselectivity and excellent functional group compatibility. Diverse aryl couples were found to be compatible with C4 arylation.

The application of rearrangement reactions offers opportunities for the efficient construction of complex molecules that are challenging to obtain through conventional synthetic methods. However, the development of radical-mediated rearrangements has lagged far behind that of ionic-type rearrangements, due to the uncontrollability of radical species. Along with the recent renaissance in radical chemistry, radical-mediated functional group migration (FGM) reactions provide a versatile platform for the selective incorporation of functional groups across different molecular distances, enabling the construction of intricate molecular architectures.

We report a general remote tribromo- and trichloromethylation process using CBr and CBrCl as ready available sources of trihalomethyl radicals. This method operates under mild and metal-free photocatalyzed conditions and enables the access to γ-trihalomethylated enals with complete regioselectivity in up to 71 % isolated yield. Importantly, this protocol is easily adapted to the selective one-pot synthesis of the corresponding γ-dihalomethylidenated enals in up to 49 % overall yield.
