Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies of a Versatile Heteroaryl Thioether Directing Group for Pd(II) Catalysis. [PDF]
A weakly coordinating monodentate heteroaryl thioether directing group has been developed for use in Pd(II) catalysis to orchestrate key elementary steps in the catalytic cycle that require conformational flexibility in a manner that is difficult to ...

Directing-Group-Enabled Cycloaddition of Azides and Alkynes toward Functionalized Triazoles.
Herein, we report a directing-group-enabled Huisgen cycloaddition of azides and alkynes for the synthesis of functionalized triazoles in which the triazene group could act as a directing group to enable this regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition and ...

Methylene-selective C-H functionalization is a significant hurdle that remains to be addressed in the field of Pd(II) catalysis. We report a Pd(II)-catalyzed synthesis of benzocyclobutenes by methylene-selective C(sp3)-H arylation of ketones.

Directing-Group-Assisted Manganese-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation of Indoles.
The first manganese-catalyzed cyclopropanation of indoles is reported in moderate to excellent yield with methyl-2-diazo-2-arylacetates. This new strategy involved acetyl (COCH3) as the directing group and exhibited exceptional functional group tolerance.

Stereospecific syn-dichlorination of allylic amines enabled by identification of a superior stereo-directing group [PDF]
Alteration of a well-established reaction mechanism for access to different molecular structures is an inherently intriguing research subject. In that context, syn-stereospecific alkene dihalogenation draws attention as a long-standing problem in ...

When is an Imine Directing Group a Transient Imine Directing Group in C-H Functionalization?
'Transient' C-H functionalization has emerged in recent years to describe the use of a dynamic linkage, often an imine, to direct cyclometalation and subsequent functionalization.

Directing-Group-Free Arene C(sp2)-H Amination Using Bulky Aminium Radicals and DFT Analysis of Regioselectivity. [PDF]
A hydroxylamine-derived electrophilic aminating reagent produces a transient and bulky aminium radical intermediate upon in situ activation by either TMSOTf or TFA and a subsequent electron transfer from an iron(II) catalyst.
