The utilizations of omnipresent, thermodynamically stable amides and aliphatic C(sp3)?H bonds for various functionalizations are ongoing challenges in catalysis. In particular, the direct coupling between the two functional groups has not been realized. Here, we report the synergistic activation of the two challenging bonds, the amide C?N and unactivated aliphatic C(sp3)?H, via metallaphotoredox catalysis to directly acylate aliphatic C?H bonds utilizing amides as stable and readily accessible acyl surrogates. N-acylsuccinimides served as efficient acyl reagents for the streamlined synthesis of synthetically useful ketones from simple C(sp3)?H substrates. Detailed mechanistic investigations using both computational and experimental mechanistic studies were performed to construct a detailed and complete catalytic cycle. The origin of the superior reactivity of the N-acylsuccinimides over other more reactive acyl sources such as acyl chlorides was found to be an uncommon reaction pathway which commences with C?H activation prior to oxidative addition of the acyl substrate.

A π-π interaction in the transition state of the benzylation of 1,3-diphenyl-1-propanone, the monobenzylation product of acetophenone, is proposed according to chemical, kinetic and theoretical approaches. Evidence for the existence of this kind of interaction in a transition state has been provided for the first time. The results obtained cannot be explained solely by the increased acidity but by considering the existence of a π-π interaction.
Direct formation of secondary and tertiary alkylzinc bromides

The direct formation of secondary and tertiary alkylzinc bromides can be accomplished under mild conditions from the direct oxidative addition of Rieke zinc to secondary and tertiary alkyl bromides including remote functionalized halides.
