Using DFT and ab initio calculations, we demonstrate that noncyclic formamidines can undergo thermal rearrangement into their isomeric aminocarbenes under rather mild conditions. We synthesized the silylformamidine, for which the lowest activation energy in this process was predicted. Experimental studies proved it to serve as a very reactive nucleophilic carbene. The reactions with acetylenes, benzenes, and trifluoromethane proceeded via insertion into sp, sp2, and spCH bonds. The carbene also reacted with the functional groups, such as CHO, COR, and CN at double or triple bonds, displaying high mobility of the trimethylsilyl group. The obtained silylformamidine can be considered as a latent nucleophilic carbene. It can be prepared in bulk quantities, stored, and used when the need arises. Calculation results predict similar behavior for some other silylated formamidines and related compounds.

The direct, Pd-catalyzed ortho C-H methylation and fluorination of benzaldehydes have been accomplished using commercially available orthanilic acids as transient directing groups. In these reactions, the 1-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium salts can be either a bystanding F+ oxidant or an electrophilic fluorinating reagent. An X-ray crystal structure of a benzaldehyde ortho C-H palladation intermediate was obtained using triphenylphosphine as the stabilizing ligand.

Instead of traditional N,N-bidentate ligands, N-functionlized amino acids were used as powerful N,O-bidentate ligands in aerobic copper/TEMPO-catalyzed system for promoting oxidation of benzylic alcohols. Under the optimized reaction conditions, a wide range of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols have been efficiently converted into aldehydes and ketones with good to excellent yields in water.
