The ligand-free palladium-catalyzed C3-cyanation of indoles via direct C–H functionalization was achieved. This protocol, utilizing CH3CN as a green and readily available cyanide source, produced the desired products in moderate to good yields through transition-metal-catalyzed C–CN bond cleavage.
Organoboron compounds are essential reagents in modern C−C coupling reactions. Their synthesis via catalytic C−H borylation by main group elements is emerging as a powerful tool alternative to transition metal based catalysis. Herein, a straightforward metal‐free synthesis of aryldifluoroboranes from BF3 and heteroarenes is reported. The reaction is assisted by sterically hindered amines and catalytic
phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) is a potential drug target because of its role in the development of Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. The selective DYRK1A inhibitor 10-iodo-11H-indolo[3,2-c]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid (KuFal194), a large, flat and lipophilic molecule, suffers from poor water solubility, limiting its use as chemical probe in cellular assays and animal models. Based on the structure

An effective and practical strategy has been established for the direct and site‐selective arylation of indoles at the C4 and C5 positions with the aid of a readily accessible, cheap, and removable pivaloyl directing group at the C3 position. This transformation shows good functional‐group tolerance and could serve as a powerful synthetic tool for the synthesis of medicinally relevant compounds. This

manipulated for tuning the catalysis process. In parallel to well‐developed crown ether‐based cation‐binding catalysis, a macrocycle‐enabled counteranion trapping strategy is presented for boosting highly efficient and enantioselective catalysis. A set of bis‐diarylthiourea macrocycles containing two BINOL moieties were designed and synthesized. They possess a well‐confined chiral cavity and strong binding
