Oxetanes are under-explored in medicinal chemistry, despite their favorable physicochemical properties, in part, because of the challenges associated with their syntheses. High-throughput experimentation (HTE) enables the rapid screening of reaction variables, accelerating the reaction development process. Herein we report the use of HTE in the optimization of a mild C-H arylation reaction of oxetanes, and other ethers, using -cyanobenzaldehyde as a cheap and effective photoexcited hydrogen-atom transfer catalyst, in conjunction with a Ni catalyst. Our optimized conditions enable the use of a modern, reproducible light source as well as sub-solvent quantity oxetane, while eliminating the need for toxic co-solvents and dangerous sources of UV light.

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.

We reported a palladium/norbornene-catalyzed dual intermolecular C-H arylation/intramolecular cyclization reaction of iodoferrocenes with -bromobenzamides, enabling the formation of arylated isoquinolone-fused ferrocenes in a straightforward and effective manner. This method has a broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility, while the gram-scale reaction demonstrates the practicality of this method.

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.
