Herein, we report a reaction that selectively generates 3-arylpyridine and quinoline motifs by inserting aryl carbynyl cation equivalents into pyrrole and indole cores, respectively. By employing α-chlorodiazirines as thermal precursors to the corresponding chlorocarbenes, the traditional haloform-based protocol central to the parent Ciamician-Dennstedt rearrangement can be modified to directly afford 3-(hetero)arylpyridines and quinolines. Chlorodiazirines are conveniently prepared in a single step by oxidation of commercially available amidinium salts. Selectivity as a function of pyrrole substitution pattern was examined, and a predictive model based on steric effects is put forward, with DFT calculations supporting a selectivity-determining cyclopropanation step. Computations surprisingly indicate that the stereochemistry of cyclopropanation is of little consequence to the subsequent electrocyclic ring opening that forges the pyridine core, due to a compensatory homoaromatic stabilization that counterbalances orbital-controlled torquoselectivity effects. The utility of this skeletal transform is further demonstrated through the preparation of quinolinophanes and the skeletal editing of pharmaceutically relevant pyrroles.

Reported herein is an unprecedented base-promoted deborylative alkylation of pyridine N-oxides using 1,1-diborylalkanes as alkyl sources. The reaction proceeds efficiently for a wide range of pyridine N-oxides and 1,1-diborylalkanes with excellent regioselectivity. The utility of the developed method is demonstrated by the sequential C?H arylation and methylation of pyridine N-oxides. The reaction also can be applied for the direct introduction of a methyl group to 9-O-methylquinine N-oxide, thus it can serve as a powerful method for late-stage functionalization.

A ligand-free Pd/Al(OH)3 nano-catalyst which is prepared by one-pot three-component method using Pd(PPh3)4, tetra (ethylene glycol), and aluminum tri-sec-butoxide exhibits excellent catalytic activity in Stille cross-couplings of (Het)aryl chlorides, arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate salts with phenyltributylstannane, respectively, and Kumada couplings of (Het)aryl chlorides with various Grignard reagents. More importantly, these two processes show excellent functional group compatibility with moderate to good yields and they are also versatile with respect to not only (Het)aryl chlorides, but also diazonium salts, and heteroaryl Grignard reagents. The nano-catalyst could also be recycled and reused 5 times without loss of activity and decrease of yield.
