- One-Pot Tandem ortho-Naphthoquinone-Catalyzed Aerobic Nitrosation of N-Alkylanilines and Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Sequence to Indole and Aniline Derivatives
-
The nitroso group served as a traceless directing group for the C-H functionalization of N-alkylanilines, ultimately removed after functioning either as an internal oxidant or under subsequent reducing conditions. The unique ability of o-NQ catalysts to aerobically oxidize the N-alkylanilines without using solvents and stoichiometric amounts of oxidants has rendered the new opportunity to develop the telescoped catalyst systems without a need for directly handling the hazardous N-nitroso compounds.

- Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed indole synthesis at room temperature using the transient oxidizing directing group strategy
-
Rh-catalyzed reactions of N-alkyl anilines with internal alkynes at room temperature have been developed using an in situ generated N-nitroso group as a transient oxidizing directing group. Due to mild reaction conditions, this method enabled synthesis of a broad range of N-alkyl indoles, including even two indole-based medicinal compounds. Our work disclosed the feasibility of the transient oxidizing directing group strategy in C-H functionalization reactions, which possesses the potential to enhance overall step-economy and impart new reactivity patterns to substrates.

- Cp?Rh(iii) catalyzed: Ortho -halogenation of N -nitrosoanilines by solvent-controlled regioselective C-H functionalization
-
We present a novel, efficient, and regioselective method for the rhodium-catalyzed direct C-H ortho-halogenation of anilines that involves a removable N-nitroso directing group. This method featured mild reaction conditions, wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and satisfactory yields. To maintain the high ortho-regioselectivity and conversion, increasing the steric hindrance of the solvent was critical. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that C-H activation may be involved in the rate-determining step.

- Rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling of aniline with heteroarene: N-nitroso group enabled mild conditions
-
The development of transition metal-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling between two (hetero)arenes to forge aryl-heteroaryl motifs under mild conditions is an appealing yet challenging task. Herein, we disclose a rhodium-catalyzed oxidative C-H/C-H cross-coupling reaction of an N-nitrosoaniline with a heteroarene under mild conditions. The judicious choice of the N-nitroso group as a directing group enables heightened reactivity. The coupled products could be transformed expediently to (2-aminophenyl)heteroaryl skeletons.

- Highly selective sp3 C-N bond activation of tertiary anilines modulated by steric and thermodynamic factors
-
A highly selective sp3 C-N cleavage of tertiary anilines was achieved using the TBN/TEMPO catalyst system. When N,N-diaklylanilines (alkyl, benzyl) were employed, the N-CH3 bond was selectively cleaved via radical C-H activation. Moreover, when the allyl group was installed, totally reverse selectivity was observed. It is worth noting that the solvent effect is also crucial to obtain high reaction efficiency and selectivity.

- Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Directed C?H Amidation of N-Nitrosoanilines and Subsequent Formation of 1,2-Disubstituted Benzimidazoles
-
An efficient rhodium-catalyzed direct C?H amidation of N-nitrosoanilines with 1,4,2-dioxazol-5-ones as amidating agents has been developed. This method featured mild reaction conditions, a wide substrate scope and satisfactory yields. Besides, the amidated products could be readily converted to pharmaceutically valuable 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazoles via an HCl-mediated deprotection/cyclization process in one pot.

-
An efficient and mild protocol for regioselective synthesis of N-Nitroso aryl ketones by palladium-catalyzed direct acylation of arenes using N-Nitroso as directing groups is described. This reaction proceeded smoothly and could tolerate a variety of functional groups. Moreover, this chemistry offers a convenient access to a range of indazoles.

- Palladium-catalyzed oxidative C-H bond acylation of N-nitrosoanilines with toluene derivatives: A traceless approach to synthesize N-alkyl-2-aminobenzophenones
-
A palladium-catalyzed cascade cross-coupling of N-nitroso-anilines and toluene derivatives for the direct synthesis of N-alkyl-2-aminobenzophenones is described. N-nitroso groups in anilines can act as the traceless directing groups while toluene derivatives can serve as effective acyl precursors under mild reaction conditions.
