The reductive Heck hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes has emerged as an essential reaction for regioselective hydroarylation. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed reductive Heck hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes under mild conditions with enhanced functional group tolerance using hydrosilane as the reducing reagent. Under the optimal conditions, the alkylarene yields increased, resulting in minimal undesired products. Mechanistic studies using deuterated reagents indicated the involvement of two competing catalytic cycles.

Securinega alkaloids, known for their unique structures and neuroplasticity-inducing potential, are promising candidates for treating neurodegenerative diseases such as depression and substance use disorders (SUD). Herein, we delineate the total synthesis of two dimeric Rauhut-Currier (RC) reaction-based securinega alkaloids, (-)-flueggenine A and (-)-15'--flueggenine D. The key step involved a novel reductive Heck dimerization strategy, utilizing a silyl-tethered enone coupling partner to ensure the desired reactivity and stereoselectivity.

Postpolymerization modifications are valuable techniques for creating functional polymers that are challenging to synthesize directly. This study presents aliphatic polycarbonates with pendant thiol-reactive groups for disulfide formation with mercaptans. The reductive responsive nature of this reaction allows for reversible postpolymerization modifications on biodegradable scaffolds.

Herein, a nickel-catalyzed divergent reductive-Heck reaction of 1-bromo-2-((2-(aryl/alkyl ethynyl)phenoxy)methyl)benzene and 2-(aryl/alkyl ethynyl)phenyl 2-bromobenzenesulfonate derivatives has been demonstrated through the regulation of reducing agents and solvent systems. This scalable protocol offers regio- and stereoselective access to functionalized dibenzo[,]oxepine and dibenzo[,][1,2]oxathiepine 6,6-dioxide scaffolds in high to excellent yields under a mild set of reaction conditions. This methodology offers a predictable route for the synthesis of medium ring oxygen heterocycles and demonstrates wide substrate scope and outstanding tolerance to various functional groups like hydroxyl and, of course, practical instance via the synthesis of doxepin and nordoxepin molecules.

These alkaloids showcase a unique heterodimeric structure, amalgamating two distinct types of alkaloids: the -hydrodibenzofuran containing tetracyclic galantamine core (6a) and the galanthindole core (7) featuring a biaryl axis. The presence of this biaryl axis, coupled with the substantial galantamine core (6a) at the substituents, imposes constraints on free rotation around the C-C axis, resulting in atropisomerism, an exceedingly rare phenomenon in nature.

Herein, a cobalt-catalyzed intramolecular enantioselective reductive Heck reaction is disclosed. Starting from --iodoaryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides, a plethora of chiral oxindoles bearing trifluoromethylated quaternary stereogenic centers at the C3-position are achieved in moderate to good yields (up to 88% yield) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 94% ee) by employing zinc/silane as reducing agent. Other than the trifluoromethyl group, a number of chiral oxindoles bearing alkyl, aryl, and ester groups at C3-position were also obtained albeit in relatively lower enantioselectivities (68-78% ee).
