<i>Z</i> ?Selective Fluoroalkenylation of (Hetero)Aromatic Systems by Iodonium Reagents in Palladium?Catalyzed Directed C?H Activation

Preparation and selective reactions of mixed bimetallic aromatic and heteroaromatic boron-magnesium reagents.

Unusual carbamate-directed CH-activation at an annulated ferrocenophane framework.

The tetrahydroazepine-annulated [3]ferrocenophane carbamate (4) was synthesized by two different linear routes starting from the readily available α-dimethylamino[3]ferrocenophane-ortho-carbaldehyde rac-6. The carbamate directed lithiation of 4 resulted in a selective attack at a (Cp)C-H bond at the higher substituted "lower" [3]ferrocenophane Cp-ring to eventually yield the respective ester (1...

Metal-free direct biaryl coupling reaction of heteroaromatic compounds via iodonium intermediate.

Biaryl compounds are versatile building blocks in the synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and π-conjugated organic materials. This review describes a recent progress for the biaryl cross-coupling reaction of heteroaromatic compounds using hypervalent iodine reagent. Our novel biaryl coupling reaction is a unique method for constructing various heteroaromatic b...

Activation of a CH bond in polypyridine systems by acetyl hypofluorite made from F2.

Activation of the relatively inactive polypyridine backbone with strong electrophilic fluorine, originating from acetyl hypofluorite (AcOF) enables attack of the acetoxy moiety at the α position to the heteroatom. Derivatives of bipyridine, phenanthroline and terpyridine systems have been acetoxylated or oxygenated within a few minutes usually in very good yields.
