The precise activation of C-H bonds will eventually provide chemists with transformative methods to access complex molecular architectures. Current approaches selective relying on directing groups are effective for the generation five-membered, six-membered and even larger ring metallacycles but show narrow applicability generate three- four-membered rings bearing high strain. Furthermore, identification distinct small intermediates remains unsolved. Here, we developed a strategy control size strained in rhodium-catalysed aza-arenes applied this discovery tunably incorporate alkynes into their azine benzene skeletons. By merging rhodium catalyst bipyridine-type ligand, three-membered metallacycle was obtained catalytic cycle, while utilizing an NHC ligand favours metallacycle. generality method demonstrated range aza-arenes, such as quinoline, benzo[f]quinolone, phenanthridine, 4,7-phenanthroline, 1,7-phenanthroline acridine. Mechanistic studies revealed origin ligand-controlled regiodivergence metallacycles.

Abstract Highly regioselective C−H alkylation reactions of tertiary anilines and alkyl amines with simple alkenes have been achieved by the use imidazolin‐2‐iminato scandium complexes. This protocol provided an efficient atom‐economical route to structurally diverse amine derivatives. The basic ligand, a coordinating THF in catalyst substitution alkene substrates were found switch regioselectivity presumably due generation different types catalytically active species or formation relatively stable intermediates. On basis deuterium labeling experiments KIE experiments, possible catalytical cycles understand reaction mechanism as well regioselectivity.

The reason for the site selectivity previously reported B(C6F5)3-catalyzed C(sp3)–H alkylation of tertiary amines with electron-deficient olefins remains a mystery. appears to be governed by number electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) on olefin: one EWG results in α-alkylation, whereas two EWGs (one each end double bond) result β-alkylation. In this study, we solved mystery and unlocked pathway β-alkylation bearing only EWG. Control experiments density functional theory calculations provided detailed picture reaction mechanism both α- Furthermore, demonstrated broad scope reaction.
