The α-3-(1,2,4-triazine)-α-cyanoacetate derivatives exhibit a unique and well-defined dearomatized structure undergoing efficient organocatalytic aromatization-alkylation sequences with Michael acceptors in order to construct an all-carbon tetrasubstituted stereocenter with high ee values. These new players in the field of enantioselective catalytic benzylic C-H functionalization afford versatile molecular platforms toward the construction of valuable 3D-heterocycles.

The Mislow-Braverman-Evans rearrangement, the reversible [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of allylic sulfoxides to allylic sulfenate esters, finds widespread applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. However, the products of this powerful strategy have primarily been limited to derivatives of allylic alcohols. In contrast, access to structurally similar benzylic alcohols has not yet been established.

Polystyrene (PS) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer, but its very low recycling rate has motivated consideration of chemical conversion strategies to convert waste PS into value-added products. Oxidation methods have been widely studied, but they typically generate benzoic acid, a product with a relatively low market demand. Phenol is a higher volume chemical that would be an appealing target, but no methods currently exist for the conversion of PS into phenol.

Marvelous natures of alkali and alkaline earth metal hydrides in catalyzing chemical transformations are being discovered. However, the synthesis of (sub)nanostructured metal hydrides, critically important to enhance their catalytic performances, is yet a very challenging task. Herein, we develop a highly reactive heterogeneous catalyst comprising atomically dispersed barium hydrides on MgO support with an ultrahigh barium loading of up to 20 wt% via a convenient preparation method involving liquid-ammonia impregnation followed by hydrogenation.

Pd-catalyzed carboxylate-directed C-H alkenylation and alkylation of benzoic acids has been achieved by switching the MBH alcohol used as the coupling partner. The alkenylation results in the formation of aryl acrylaldehydes, whereas the alkylation furnishes the formation of α-benzyl β-ketoesters.

Benzylic C-H functionalization is a valuable tool to make complex aromatic molecules from simple, readily available alkylbenzenes. While methods that involve benzylic radicals or cations generated by hydrogen atom transfer or oxidation have been well demonstrated, they often require oxidative conditions. In contrast, deprotonation methods offer a complementary approach to transform benzylic C-H bonds through a benzylic carbanion generated by deprotonation.
