A general copper-catalyzed C(sp3)?C(sp2) cross-coupling of (hetero)benzyl bromides with the air- and moisture-stable aryl nucleophiles has been developed, providing a facile access to pharmaceutically useful 1,1-di(hetero)arylalkane and 1-aryl-1-heteroarylalkane scaffolds. Critical to the success is the utilization of a proline-based N,N,P-ligand to enhance the reducing capability of copper, thus easily converting benzyl bromides to the corresponding radical species via a single-electron transfer process under ambient conditions. The reaction features a broad substrate scope, covering (hetero)arylboronate esters, oxadiazoles, and benzo[d]oxazoles, as well as primary and secondary (hetero)benzyl bromides with excellent functional group tolerance.

The first NaBEt3H-catalyzed intermolecular Chichibabin-type alkylation of pyridine and its derivatives with alkenes as the latent nucleophiles is presented with the assistance of BEt3, and a series of branched C4-alkylation pyridines, even highly congested all-carbon quaternary center-containing triarylmethanes can be obtained in a regiospecific manner. Therefore, the conventional reliance on high cost and low availability transition metal catalysts, prior formation of N-activated pyridines, organometallic reagents, and extra oxidation operation for the construction of a C-C bond at the C4-position of the pyridines in previous methods are not required. The corresponding mechanism and the key roles of the organoborane were elaborated by the combination of H/D scrambling experiments, 11B NMR studies, intermediate trapping experiments and computational studies. This straightforward and mechanistically distinct organocatalytic technology not only opens a new door for the classical but still far less well-developed Chichibabin-type reaction, but also sets up a new platform for the development of novel C-C bond-forming methods.

An iron-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of (alkyl)(aryl)azinylmethanes has been developed leading to tertiary alcohols in moderate to good yields. Hock rearrangement was identified as a major side reaction leading to a complex mixture of undesired products. Addition of thiourea sometimes allows inhibiting this side reaction and steers the reaction towards the desired products.
