2,1,3-Benzothiadiazole is widely used as a privileged scaffold in pharmaceuticals and organic functional materials. Nonetheless, many current methods for the functionalization of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole rely on preactivation, transition metal catalysts/promoters, or an elevated reaction temperature. Herein we disclose a transition-metal-free visible-light-induced photocatalytic method for the direct C-H alkylation of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole using readily accessible carboxylic acid derivatives, i.e., -hydroxyphthalimide esters (NHPEs), as alkylating reagents under room temperature. This mild and scalable method is highlighted by the late-stage installation of the benzothiadiazole scaffold in drugs and natural products.

Even though α-arylation of ketones is attractive for direct C-H functionalization of organic substrates, the method largely relies on phosphine-ligated palladium complexes. Only recently, efforts have focused on developing nitrogen-based ligands as a more sustainable alternative to phosphines, with pyridine-functionalized pyridinium amidate (pyr-PYA) ,'-bidentate ligands displaying good selectivity and activity. Here, we report on a second generation set of catalyst precursors that feature a 5-membered N-heterocycle instead of a pyridine as chelating unit of the PYA ligand to provide less steric congestion for the rate-limiting transmetalation of the enolate.

C-H activation is the most direct way of functionalizing organic molecules. Many advances in this field still require specific directing groups to achieve the necessary activity and selectivity. Developing C-H activation reactions directed by native functional groups is essential for their broad application in synthesis.

2-Hydroxyl/acetoxy-3-nitroindoles are directly and efficiently prepared in good to excellent yields from diazo(nitro)acetanilides under the catalysis of Cu(MeCN)PF in DCM through an intramolecular aromatic C-H insertion or followed by acetylation. 2-Hydroxyl-3-nitroindoles can be further transformed to 3-halo-3-nitroindolin-2-ones and 3-alkanamidoindolin-2-ones readily. All of them are important synthetic building blocks for construction of indole derivatives.

Direct functionalization of native (N-H) indoles via C-H activation remains a challenge. Herein, we report a salicylaldehyde-promoted cobalt-catalyzed selective C2-H Heck reaction of native (N-H) indoles with both active and unactivated olefins in the presence of free N-H bonds. A series of structurally diverse C2-alkenylated native (N-H) indoles including natural product and drug derivatives were prepared directly and effectively without additional preprotection and deprotection procedures.

Palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization has attracted considerable attention as a pathway to late-stage modification of peptides. Herein, we report the Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation of peptides directed by an amidoxime ether, which can be easily incorporated into peptides at any amide bond. Site- and stereoselective arylation of peptides has been achieved, including an unprecedented example of C-H arylation of an internal residue.
