Bringing “N” into the game: The direct chemoselective nitrogenation of unactivated alkenes can be achieved through oxidative selenium catalysis (see scheme). This method provides a broad variety of allylic imides in yields of up to 89 % using N‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the terminal oxidant and nitrogen source. Furthermore, an unprecedented selenium‐catalyzed vinylic C(sp2)–H nitrogenation
palladium-catalyzed highly regio- and diastereoselective arylboration of alkenylarenes has been developed. This chemistry afforded the benzylic boronic esters with a broad substrate scope, which are valuable synthetic intermediates for organic synthesis. The chiral anion phase-transfer strategy was designed for this transformation to realize the regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective control of this reaction
