Disclosed herein is a cross-dehydrogenative-coupling reaction of -heterocycles including 1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2, 4)-diones and quinoxaline-2(1)-ones with -methylanilines to form C(sp)-C(sp) under visible-light illumination and ambient air at room temperature. In this process, easily available Ru(bpy)Cl·6HO serves as the catalyst, and air acts as the green oxidant. This method features high atom economy, environmental friendliness, and convenient operation and provides an efficient and practical access to aminomethyl-substituted -heterocycles with extensive functional group compatibility in 40-86% yields.

Alkyl phosphonates are important motifs in medicinal chemistry, yet their efficient synthesis by direct C(sp)-H functionalization remains a challenge. Here, we report straightforward access to benzylic phosphonates by direct C(sp)-H functionalization in a cross-dehydrogenative-coupling reaction between non-specialized alkylarenes and unfunctionalized phosphites. Notably, the C-H substrates are used as the limiting reagents.

An efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of C3-hydroxytrifluoroalkylated indoles and pyrroles was described in this paper. The copper-catalyst-free site-specific cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of various indoles and pyrroles with hexafluoroisopropanol proceeded smoothly by using MnO as oxidant to furnish a hydroxytrifluoroalkylated electron-rich -heterocycle in satisfactory to excellent yields. Various groups, including the synthetically useful functional groups Cl, NO, and CN, were tolerated well.

A novel and straightforward method for the iron-catalyzed regioselective cross-dehydrogenative coupling of -quinone methides (-QMs) with formamides has been developed, facilitated by the activation of the C(sp)-H bonds of the formyl and alkenyl substituents via a radical strategy. This method does not require the preactivation of the substrates, and it can accommodate a wide range of -QMs and formamides under the optimized reaction conditions, resulting in the formation of the expected C-7 acetamides-functionalized -quinone methides with moderate to good yields. The control experiments revealed that the reaction follows the fundamental equation of second-order kinetics.

An efficient synthesis of α-carbonyl-α'-sulfenyl sulfoxonium ylides through a KIO-promoted cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of aryl thiols and α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides in an aqueous medium at room temperature has been described. The α-carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides and aryl thiols adorned with various functional groups were well-tolerated and afforded moderate to high yields of α-carbonyl-α-sulfenyl sulfoxonium ylide derivatives. Finally, by converting synthesized ylide into other valuable compounds, we demonstrated the practicality of this synthetic method.

In a new approach, a series of 3-aroylimidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives were prepared in high yields. This approach revealed the direct Fe-catalyzed functionalization of imidazo[1,2-]pyridine derivatives with aryl aldehydes an aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling process. This transformation occurred in the presence of air, and FeBr served as a homogeneous Lewis catalyst.
