A photoredox-catalyzed iminoalkenylation of γ-alkenyl O-acyl oximes has been developed. Readily available alkenylboronic acids serve as alkenylation reagents, leading to densely functionalized pyrrolines. Both (E)- and (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are accessible depending on the reaction solvent. In dichloromethane, (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines are produced through a photoredox-mediated single-electron-transfer process. In tetrahydrofuran, (Z)-cinnamylpyrrolines are generated by photocatalytic contra-thermodynamic E-to-Z isomerization of (E)-cinnamylpyrrolines though an energy-transfer pathway. Two stereocenters are established with complete diastereoselectivity and only one diastereomer is isolated.

Herein, we report the development of a dual catalytic approach for the cross-coupling of nitriles with aryl- and aliphatic-bromides. A titanium(III) catalyst is used to activate nitriles enabling their coupling with organobromides through a nickel catalyst. The Ni/Ti system efficiently prepared unsymmetrical ketones with good chemoselectivity and could selectively couple a bromide in the presence of other functionalizable handles.
Catalytic Multisite-Selective Acetoxylation Reactions at sp2 vs sp3 C-H Bonds in Cyclic Olefins

The first Pd-catalyzed multisite-selective acetoxylation reactions are disclosed at an unactivated alkene sp2 C-H bond versus secondary allylic sp3 C-H bond in cyclic olefins via the modulation of directing groups. The different directing groups overcome the key challenge in differentiating C-H bonds and provide a new controlling approach for site-specific C-H activation. A wide variety of substrates are readily acetoxylated under operationally simple conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that different Pd (IV) intermediates were involved in the multisite-selective acetoxylation reactions.
