In the presence of carbon monoxide, the palladium/phenanthroline system catalyzes the intramolecular amination of thiophene rings following the reduction of a nitroalkene moiety directly attached to the S-heterocyclic ring. Optimization of the ligand and reaction conditions allowed the synthesis of a series of thienopyrroles aryl/alkyl-substituted at either the 2- or 3-position of the pyrrole ring. By using low pressures of carbon monoxide (5 bars), high yields of fused bicyclic compounds have been obtained (up to 98 % yield).
4,7-Dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline: An excellent ligand for the Cu-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazoles

4,7-Dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline (L) was found to be an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed N-arylation of imidazole with aryl iodides and bromides under mild conditions. A variety of hindered and functionalized imidazoles and aryl halides were transformed in good to excellent yields.
