Superseding Substrate Control with Catalyst Control to Improve Regioselectivity in Aryne Annulations [PDF]
The utility of reactions using unsymmetrically substituted aryne intermediates is negatively impacted by issues with regioselectivity. There have been numerous reports about how to enhance or reverse this regioselectivity in metal-free aryne reactions by

Can we predict ambident regioselectivity using the chemical hardness? [PDF]
The hard/soft acid/base (HSAB) principle is a cornerstone in our understanding of chemical reactivity preferences. Motivated by the success of the original (e.g., "global") version of this rule, a "local" counterpart was readily proposed to account for ...

Reverse Regioselectivity in Reductive Ring Opening of Epoxide Enabled by Zirconocene and Photoredox Catalysis [PDF]
A ring opening of epoxide with zirconocene and photoredox catalysis has been developed. Compared to the ring opening methods with titanocene, the present protocol exhibited reverse regioselectivity to afford more-substituted alcohols via putative less ...

Understanding a substrate's product regioselectivity in a family of enzymes: a case study of acetaminophen binding in cytochrome P450s. [PDF]
Product regioselectivity as influenced by molecular recognition is a key aspect of enzyme catalysis. We applied large-scale two-dimensional (2D) umbrella sampling (USP) simulations to characterize acetaminophen (APAP) binding in the active sites of the ...

Reactivity, Regioselectivity, and Synthetic Application of 2-Pyrenyl Units in Scholl Reactions [PDF]
We herein report the reactivity and regioselectivity of 2-pyrenyl as a coupling unit in Scholl reactions. On the basis of the Scholl reactions of hexaarylbenzene substrates, we have found that pyrenyl units are preferably oxidized over naphthyl and ...

Reversal of Regioselectivity in Reactions of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Eelectrophilic Olefins [PDF]
Cyclopropanes bearing donor and acceptor groups at the opposite ends of the C-C bond should react with both nucleophiles and electrophiles. Their reactivity towards nucleophiles is well explored while only few specific electrophilic reagents give desired

Photochemical Regiodivergent Functionalization of Quinolines with Aryl Ketones [PDF]
A photocatalytic system‐controlled approach enables regiodivergent C2‐ and C4‐functionalization of quinolines with aryl ketones by optimizing aryl thiol photocatalysts and formate reductants. Using ortho‐(isopropoxycarbonyl)thiophenol with excess formate facilitates C4‐dearomatization, yielding bridged 1,3‐oxazepanes. In contrast, meta‐(methoxycarbonyl)
