Something functional: The title reaction proceeds in the presence of azide and water to deliver amides in high yields, and it can be used in a ring‐expansion strategy to generate lactams. A mechanism is proposed based on experimental results. This reaction offers a new approach to functionalizing simple and readily available hydrocarbons. DDQ=2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone.

From simple beginnings: A novel Cu‐promoted direct incorporation of nitrogen into simple hydrocarbon molecules under mild and neutral reaction conditions is described. 1,5‐Disubstituted tetrazoles are efficiently constructed by two CH and one CCbondcleavages (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl). This protocol provides a new and unique strategy to functionalize simple and readily available hydrocarbon

Palladium-catalyzed selective Heck-type diarylation of allylic esters with arylhalides has been developed. Allylic esters are reacted with aryl iodides to provide the corresponding 1,3-diaryl propenes through a β-OAc elimination process. It is noteworthy that the methodology can be applied in constructing the indole and benzofuran skeletons.
