The ligand-free Lewis acid-mediated regioselective hydroamination and hydroarylation of styrenes have been successfully developed in the presence of isatins or heterocyclic aryl compounds such as benzothiophenes and benzofurans. The reactions tolerate a variety of functional groups and afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Deuterium labeling experiments show that the functionalized hydrogen of styrenes was derived from the nitrogen-hydrogen of the substrates in the hydroamination.

Hydroarylation reactions have emerged as a valuable tool for the direct functionalization of C-H bonds with ideal atom economy. However, common catalytic variants for these transformations largely require harsh reaction conditions, which often translate into reduced selectivites. In contrast, we herein report on a photo-induced hydroarylation of unactivated olefins at room temperature employing a readily available ruthenium(ii) catalyst.

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.

Pyrroles, privileged structural motifs in drug and material science, have been synthesized by indium(III)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of homopropargyl azides. This methodology exhibits a broad substrate scope, providing substituted pyrroles and bispyrroles in good yields. Furthermore, an atom-economical sequential method for the synthesis of benzo[]indoles has been discovered from azido-diynes using InCl as catalyst.

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.
