A Ni-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling with 1,1-disubstituted styrenyl aziridines has been developed. This method delivers valuable β-substituted phenethylamines via a challenging reductive elimination that affords a quaternary carbon. A novel electron-deficient olefin ligand, Fro-DO, proved crucial for achieving high rates and chemoselectivity for C-C bond formation over β-H elimination. This ligand
catalytic reactions using transition metals is an important challenge in organic chemistry in which the intermediates are related to those produced in the classical cross-couplingreactions. As part of our research program devoted to the development of metal-catalyzed reactions using indium organometallics, a protocol for the C⁻H activation and C⁻C coupling of 2-arylpyridines with triorganoindium reagents

describe an efficient continuousflowsynthesis of ketones from CO2 and organolithium or Grignard reagents that exhibits significant advantages over conventional batch conditions in suppressing undesired symmetric ketone and tertiary alcohol byproducts. We observed an unprecedented solvent‐dependence of the organolithium reactivity, the key factor in governing selectivity during the flow process. A facile

An unusual aromatic substitution to access indolenines is described. 2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile derivatives are reacted with various alkyl and aryl Li reagents to furnish the corresponding indolenine products, constituents of natural products, and cyanine dyes such as indocyanine green. This new method was used to synthesize 41 indolenines with large functional group tolerance, and selected examples
