Bent N‐Heterocyclic Allenes From a Well‐Defined Titanium Vinylidene Complex
The syntheses and the structures of N‐heterocyclic allenes are reported. Allenes bearing fluorenylidene capping groups show markedly bent C═C═C units, a carbene‐like reactivity, and they can act as potent C‐donor ligands for metal complexes. ABSTRACT Allenes typically display a linear geometry. A notable exception occurs in allenes bearing two electron‐

Iterative Synthesis of Pentacene Derivatives with Continuous Boron–Oxygen Bonds
An iterative synthetic strategy enables the controlled introduction of continuous multiple B–O bonds at the zigzag edge of acenes. A simple two‐step cycle—ipso iodination and Suzuki cross‐coupling/condensation—efficiently constructs BO‐acenes ranging from naphthalene to pentacene.

The use of transition‐metal catalysts and design of chiral ligands have allowed chemists to access highly functionalized benzofused 5‐ and 6‐ membered rings in high yield and enantioselectivity. A common strategy used relies on an intermolecular carbometalation across alkynes and olefins, usually followed by a subsequent intramolecular carbometalation.

Alcohol‐Directed Carboamination of Conjugated Enynes
The first general three‐component intermolecular Pd‐catalyzed carboamination of conjugated enynes enables the coupling of anilines and aryl triflates to produce functionalized allenic amines, utilizing a native alcohol directing group to control regioselectivity.

A five‐membered digermacycle exhibits an unusual 4π electron delocalization enabled by σ*(Ge–C)–π coupling within a nearly planar framework. Combined experimental and theoretical analyses reveal a continuous cyclic delocalization pathway, highlighting σ*–π interactions as a design principle for aromatic stabilization beyond classical π‐conjugated ...
