The first synthesis of substituted fluorenones directly frombenzaldehydes and aryl iodides via a Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)-H functionalization cascade is reported. Featuring anthranilic acid as an inexpensive transient directing group, the process is compatible with a variety of benzaldehydes and aryl iodides. A three-step synthesis of the antiviral drug Tilorone was completed in an excellent overall
the dehydrogenation. The catalyst [Ir(Fmpbo)2dtbppy]PF6 played a dual role as both the photoredox catalyst to initiate the benzoyl radical reaction and the TM catalyst to finish the aromatization and the hydrogen evolution. The photoredox/TM dual catalytic role of the Ir catalyst was proposed firstly. The reactions provide good to excellent yields of the products under mild and economic conditions.

Supertwisted Chiral Gyroid Mesophase in Chiral Rod‐Like Compounds
Among the intriguing bicontinuous self‐assembled structures, the gyroid cubic is the most ubiquitous. It is found in block and star polymers, surfactants with or without solvent, in thermotropic liquid crystals with end‐ or side‐chains, and in biosystems providing structural color and modelling cell mitosis. It contains two interpenetrating networks of opposite chirality and is thus achiral if, as usual, the content of the two nets is the same. But we now find that this is not the case for strongly chiral compounds. While achiral molecules follow the opposite twists of nets 1 and 2, molecules with a chiral center in their rod‐like core fail to follow the 70° twist between junctions in net 2 and instead wind against it by ‐110° to still match the junction orientation. The metastable chiral gyroid is a high‐entropy high‐heat‐capacity mesophase. The homochirality of its nets makes the CD signal of the thienofluorenone compounds close to that in the stable I23 phase with 3 isochiral nets.
