A visible-light-mediated synthesis of valuable polycyclic indolizine heterocycles from easily accessed brominated pyridine and enol carbamate derivatives has been developed. This process, which operates at room temperature under irradiation from readily available light sources, does not require the addition of an external photocatalyst. Instead, an investigation into the reaction mechanism indicates that the indolizine products themselves may be in some way involved in mediating and accelerating their own formation. Preliminary studies also show that these simple heterocyclic compounds may be capable of facilitating other visible-light-mediated transformations.

RhIII-catalyzed C-H activation with allenes produces highly unsaturated conjugated olefins. The reaction is applicable to both olefin and arene C(sp2)-H and is compatible with a variety of functional groups. The products can be further transformed into ot

Due to the strong potential of C-H activation in many areas of organic chemistry, the use of a pre-existing carbonyl group for the installation of a directing group to enable selective and predictable α-alkenylation with activated olefins as coupling partners is described. This Heck-type reaction would then lead either to β,γ-unsaturated ketones or to variously substituted 1,4-butadienes depending on the conditions used for the cleavage of the directing group.
