N-Arylated aliphatic and aromatic amines are important substituents in many biologically active compounds. In the last few years, transition-metal-mediated N -aryl bond formation has become a standard procedure for introduction of into systems. While N-arylation simple halides by works with described methods high yield, reactions may require detailed optimization if applied to synthesis complex molecules additional functional groups, such as natural products or drugs. We discuss compare this...

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are essential in modern organic synthesis, facilitating the rapid creation of complex molecular structures. Traditionally, these rely heavily on conventional bases, with only a few exceptions reported. Recently, we developed adaptive dynamic homogeneous catalysis (AD-HoC), method that enables C(sp2)–S cross-couplings without needing traditional ligands, or additives. Given growing demand for protocols compatible acidic conditions...

Lactam rings are essential structural motifs in organic chemistry, widely present natural products and clinically important drugs, such as antibiotics antiepileptics. Existing methods for synthesizing N‐functionalized lactams often require harsh conditions, toxic reagents, or complex catalytic systems. Here, we report a mild efficient photochemical approach generating N‐centered radicals, enabling straightforward N‐heteroarylation of lactams. This versatile method enables the synthesis range...

Benzoate anions coordinate to cerium ions. Excitation of such complexes by light leads homolytic oxygen-cerium bond cleavage through ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). This process results in the reduction metal ion and oxidation ligand via a single-electron event. The resulting benzoic acid radical can serve as potent hydro-gen atom abstractor, facilitating activation carbon atoms C-H activation. study investigated scope other oxo-anions ligands on cerium(IV) ions that undergo...

We report pyridine N-oxides as neutral ligands in cerium photocatalysis. By using those ligands, photoactive Ce(IV)-species are generated, that show an extensive bathochromic shift compared to previously employed cerium-based complexes. This allows the effective utilization of green light redox-neutral CH-hydrazination small molecules under very mild photocatalytic conditions.

Background and Purpose Anion‐selective Cys‐loop receptors (GABA glycine receptors) provide the main inhibitory drive in CNS. Both types of receptor operate via chloride‐selective ion channels, though with different kinetics, pharmacological profiles, localization. Disequilibrium their function leads to a variety disorders, which are often treated allosteric modulators. The few available GABA channel blockers effectively suppress currents neurons, but systemic administration is highly toxic....
