Development of methods for the sp C-H transformations of allenes has received much attention, and it presents a powerful tool for the synthesis of complicated allene-containing bioactive molecules. With a copper-catalyzed radical relay, sp allenic C-H arylation and alkynylation were established herein, using various aryl boronic acids and trimethoxysilyl-substituted alkynes as carbon nucleophiles and using electrophilic N-F reagents as nitrogen-centered radical precursors. These methods featured excellent site selectivity to deliver fully substituted allenes efficiently. Moreover, with silyl-substituted allenes as substrates, a subsequent dual sp C-H functionalization process was established as well, which allowed for the divergent synthesis of multifunctionalized allenes, significantly expanding their chemical spaces.

The C-H arylation of 2-quinolinecarboxyamide bearing a C-Br bond at the -aryl moiety is carried out with a palladium catalyst. The reaction proceeds at the C-H bond on the pyridine ring adjacent to the amide group in the presence of 10 mol % Pd(OAc) at 110 °C to afford the cyclized product in 42% yield. The yield is improved to 94% when the reaction is performed with PPh as a ligand of palladium.

Herein, we introduce a mild and efficient method for synthesizing aniline biaryls and unsymmetrical phenol biaryls through iodine-catalyzed coupling of quinone imine ketals (QIKs)/quinonemonoacetals (QMAs) and -naphthols. This approach allows for the unusual formation of ortho-substituted anilines and phenols, valuable in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials but typically difficult to produce. Our method achieves high -selectivity without needing transition metals or external/internal templates.

Functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are essential building blocks for the bottom-up fabrication of structurally uniform nanocarbons. Herein we report a simple and efficient synthetic method toward K-region hydroxy-functionalized PAHs via TEMPO-mediated twofold intramolecular C-H/C-H arylations of 1-biphenyl-2-yl-2-aryl-ethanone derivatives. This method achieves high yields and selectivity, synthesizing a variety of PAH frameworks, including pyrenes, chrysenes, benzo[]phenanthrenes, and benzo[]tetraphenes.
