A method for the copper-catalyzed borylacylation of activated alkenes is presented. The reaction involves borylcupration of the alkene, followed by capture of the generated alkyl–copper intermediate with an acid chloride. The reactions operated with low catalyst loading and generally occurre within 15 min at room temperature for a range of activated alkenes. In the case of vinyl arenes, enantioselective borylacylation was possible.

A series of novel ruthenium(II) complexes supported by a symmetrical NNN ligand were prepared and fully characterized. These complexes exhibited good performance in transfer hydrogenation to form new C-C bonds using alcohols as the alkylating agents, generating water as the only byproduct. A broad range of substrates, including (hetero)aryl- or alkyl-ketones and alcohols, were well tolerated under the optimized conditions. Notably, α-substituted methylene ketones were also investigated, which afforded α-branched steric hindrance products. A potential application of α-alkylation of methylene acetone to synthesize donepezil was demonstrated, which provided the desired product in 83% yield. Finally, this catalytic system could be applied to a one-pot double alkylation procedure with sequential addition of two different alcohols. The current protocol is featured with several characteristics, including a broad substrate scope, low catalyst (0.50 mol %) loadings, and environmental benignity.
2,3-Diarylindenes and 2,3-diarylindenones: Synthesis, molecular structure, photochemistry, estrogen receptor binding affinity, and comparisons with related triarylethylenes

Two 2,3-diphenylindene and -indenone systems, with potential fluorescent and photofluorogenic properties, were prepared and studied as ligands for the estrogen receptor. The indene systems were prepared by Friedel-Crafts cyclization of appropriate α-benzy
