hydroacylative union of aldehydes and o-alkynyl anilines leads to 2-aminophenyl enones, and onward to substituted quinolines. The mild reaction conditions employed in this chemistry result in a process that displays broad functional group tolerance, allowing the preparation of diversely substituted quinolines in high yields. Extension to the use of o-alkynyl nitro arenes as substrates leads to 2-nitrochalcones
functionalized benzaldehydes under mild conditions. This reaction was promoted specifically by a low-cost and simple CrCl2 salt used as a precatalyst, enabling synchronous activations of ortho-C(aryl)–SMe and ortho′-C(aryl)–H bonds to achieve difunctionalization of benzaldimines. This work provided a strategy for accessing arylated, alkylated, and diarylated benzaldehydederivatives as a result of

A Rh(I)-catalyzed method for the efficient functionalization of arenes is reported. Aryl methyl sulfides are combined with terminal alkynes to deliver products of carbothiolation. The overall process results in reincorporation of the original arene functional group, a methyl sulfide, into the products as an alkenyl sulfide. The carbothiolation process can be combined with an initial Rh(I)-catalyzed alkene or alkyne hydroacylation reaction in three-component cascade sequences. The utility of the alkenyl sulfide products is also demonstrated in simple carbo- and heterocycle-forming processes. We also provide mechanistic evidence for the course of this new process.
