Herein, we present a facile synthetic methodology to produce a range of -(CH-aryl/alkyl)-substituted -(pyridin-2-yl)benzamides via palladium-mediated C(sp)-H bond activation. The -methyl--(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide precursor was first reacted with palladium(II) acetate in a stoichiometric manner to obtain the key dinuclear palladacycle intermediates, whose structures were elucidated by mass spectrometric, NMR spectroscopic, and X-ray crystallographic studies in detail. The subsequent C(sp)-H bond functionalizations on the -methyl group of the starting substrate show facile productions of the corresponding -(CH-aryl/alkyl)-substituted -(pyridin-2-yl)benzamides with good functional group tolerance. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on density functional theory calculations in conjunction with kinetic isotope effect experiments. Finally, the synthetic transformation from the prepared -(CH-aryl)--(pyridin-2-yl)benzamides through debenzoylation to -(CH-aryl)-2-aminopyridine was successfully demonstrated.

2-Propargyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds have been carbonylated under oxidative conditions and with the catalysis of the PdI/KI catalytic system to selectively afford previously unreported 2-(4-acylfuran-2-yl)acetamides in fair to good yields (54-81%) over 19 examples. The process takes place under relatively mild conditions and occurs via a mechanistic pathway involving C-H activation by oxidative monoamincarbonylation of the terminal triple bond of the substrates with formation of 2-ynamide intermediates, followed by 5---cyclization (via intramolecular conjugate addition of the in situ formed enolate to the 2-ynamide moiety) and aromative isomerization.

Highly substituted iodobenzenes were efficiently and regioselectively synthesized from readily available 1,6-diynes via two-step process consisting of silver-catalyzed Csp-H iodination and subsequent ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of resultant iododiynes. Some of the obtained iodobenzenes were subjected to palladium-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions such as Mizoroki-Heck reaction, Sonogashira reaction, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, giving highly conjugated molecules.
