We report the synergistic use of Pd(OAc)₂ and Ag₂O for the direct C-H arylation of polyfluoroarenes with aryl iodides in DMF as the solvent. This method is straightforward, can be conducted in air, and does not require additional ligands, yielding fluorinated unsymmetrical biaryl products in up to 99%. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that the formation of [(DMF)2PdII(C6F5)2] in DMF as a coordinating solvent does not inhibit the reaction, as the Pd complex reacts with aryl iodides by oxidative addition upon dissociation of a single DMF ligand to form [(DMF)PdIV(C6F5)2(Ar)(I)] before the desired arylation product is released. This contrasts with our previous report on the nucleophilic coupling between C₆F₅H and aryl-Bpin, in which the formation of [(DMF)₂PdII(C₆F₅)₂] was found to halt the reaction.

Thioethers and their derivatives play important roles in synthetic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. Herein, we report a hemilabile P,N-ligand-assisted gold-catalyzed C-S cross-coupling reaction of organoiodides with disulfides. In this reaction, alkyl or aryl disulfides react smoothly with aryl or vinyl iodides to afford a series of aryl sulfide and vinyl sulfide derivatives in good to excellent yields.

The Cu(II)-catalyzed -heteroannulation reaction of [60]fullerene (C) with aryl sulfonamides and paraformaldehyde has been disclosed for the synthesis of diverse C-fused imidazolidines, of which one or both of the ArSO moieties could be removed selectively. Further transformations into the unexpected bicyclic 1,2,3,4-adduct and C-fused imidazolidinium iodide salt have also been demonstrated. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of control experiments.

Transfer hydrogenation is widely practised across all segments of chemical industry, yet its application to aryl halide reductive cross-coupling is undeveloped because of competing hydrogenolysis. Here, exploiting the distinct reactivity of Pd species, an efficient catalytic system for the reductive cross-coupling of activated aryl bromides with aryl iodides via formate-mediated hydrogen transfer is described. These processes display orthogonality with respect to Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig couplings, as pinacol boronates and anilines are tolerated and, owing to the intervention of chelated intermediates, are effective for challenging 2-pyridyl systems.

A palladium/norbornene (NBE)-catalyzed 2-fold C-H/C-X coupling reaction of aryl iodides is reported. Bromine-substituted benzimidazoles were chosen as electrophilic and termination reagents, and the versatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon products were successfully obtained. The strategy overcomes the challenge of catalyst poisoning by heterocyclic substrates.
