(NHC)(arene)Ru(II) complexes with bidentate LX-type NHC-carboxylate ligands were efficiently synthesized and fully characterized including solid-state structures. The strong coordination of the NHC carboxylate ligand and the labile character of the arene ligand are highlighted. These unprecedented Ru(II) complexes demonstrated efficient catalytic activities in the selective P(III)-directed C-H borylation at the position of arylphosphines, representing the first report of the use of a ruthenium-NHC based catalyst in C-H borylation.

The in-depth research on the charge transport properties of BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAHs) still lags far behind studies of their emitting properties. Herein, we report the successfully synthesis of novel ladder-type BN-PAHs (BCNL1 and BCNL2) featuring a highly ordered BC3N2 acene unit, achieved via a nitrogen-directed tandem C-H borylation. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis unambiguously revealed their unique and compact herringbone packing structures.

Arene borylation reactions provide direct access to aryl organoboranes, including aryl boronic esters. Precious metals, namely Ir, Rh, Pt, remain the go-to for metal-catalysed borylation reactions, however, significant efforts have been expended in developing Earth-abundant metal alternatives.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

NHC boryl radical mediated halogen atom transfer (XAT) is useful in organic synthesis. Yet, most of the reaction ends only with reducing the halogen to hydrogen, that is, the C-X to C-H. This is especially dominant for electron-deficient alkyl halides, where the formed electrophilic radical reacts rapidly with NHC boranes.

Article Synopsis
- A new method has been developed for Pd-catalyzed C-H borylation using maleimide to activate C-H bonds in aryl iodides.
- This reaction allows for the alkylation of -positions and borylation of -C-H bonds, leading to the synthesis of functionalized 3-aryl succinimides, which are important in various organic compounds.
- The boronate group created in this process can be further modified, showcasing the practical applications and potential of this C-H activation strategy for difunctionalizing aryl halides.
