A novel Fe-catalyzed olefin hydroamination with aryldiazo sulfones for accessing alkylarylazo compounds has been successfully developed. Aryldiazo sulfones are used as radical acceptors, and N–N double bonds will be regenerated when an arene sulfonyl group leaves. The reaction features mild reaction conditions and a broad substrate scope, allowing access to many azo compounds that would be difficult
A protocol for the anti-Markovnikov hydrofunctionalization of alkenes has been developed by the use of a benzylgroup as a traceless redox-active hydrogen donor. Under copper catalysis and in the presence of CF3- or N3-containing hypervalent iodine reagents, a series of homoallylic alcohol derivatives were hydrofunctionalized regioselectivity. A similar principle was also applied to the hydrofunctionalization

A practical method for the intramolecular hydroalkylation of electron-deficient olefins has been developed. The direct transformation of benzylic, tertiary, and sterically hindered secondary sp3 C-H bonds into C-C bonds under the action of a catalytic amount of a variety of Lewis acids is described. The mechanism of these transformations is proposed to involve a tandem hydride transfer/cyclization sequence.
