<p>A new method for the direct functionalization of diamondoids has been developed using photoredox and H-atom transfer catalysis. This C–H alkylation reaction has excellent chemoselectivity for the strong 3º C–H bonds of adamantanes in polyfunctional molecules. In substrate competition reactions, a reversal in selectivity is observed for the new H-atom transfer catalyst reported here when compared to six known photochemical systems. Derivatization of a broad scope of diamondoids and adamantane-containing drugs highlights the versatility and functional group tolerance of this C–H functionalization strategy.</p>

A catalytic synthesis of cyclic guanidines, which are found in many biologically active compounds and natu-ral products, was developed, wherein transition-metal hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover were employed. This mild and functional-group tolerant process enabled the cyclization of alkenyl guanidines bearing common protective groups, such as Cbz and Boc. This powerful method not only provided the common 5- and 6-membered rings but also an unusual 7-membered ring. The derivatization of the products afforded various heterocycles. We also investigated the se-lective cyclization of mono-protected or hetero-protected (TFA and Boc) alkenyl guanidines and their further derivatiza-tions.

A new method to access alpha-arylated benzamides has been enabled by metallaphotoredox catalysis. This system allows for non-directed C–H functionalization of N-alkyl benzamides using a dual nickel/iridium catalytic system to form tertiary stereocenters in good enantiomeric excess and moderate yields. This reaction shows excellent functional group compatibility and can be performed using a number of sterically and electronically different aryl bromides and secondary benzamides.

Photocatalysis is a rapidly evolving area of research in modern organic synthesis. Among the traditional photocatalysts, metal-complexes based on ruthenium or iridium are the most common. Herein, we present the synthesis of two photoactive, ruthenium-based complexes bearing pyridine-quinoline or terpyridine ligands with extended aromatic conjugation. Our complexes were utilized in the atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) of haloalkanes to olefins, using bromoacetonitrile or bromotrichloromethane as the source of the alkyl group. The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions. These photocatalytic atom transfer protocols can be expanded into a broad scope of olefins. In both protocols, the photocatalytic reactions led to products in good to excellent isolated yields.

An efficient approach for the amination of vinyl azides with N,N-dialkylacylamides has been developed. By using this protocol, structurally important α-ketoamides can be easily synthesized. The key to success is not only the introduction of a Cu(I)/oxygen catalytic system but also the utilization of t-BuOCl and benzoic acid as additives. The reaction is operationally simple, scalable, and displays broad scope and functional group tolerance. A possible mechanism involving copper-catalyzed oxidative generation of peroxide radicals is proposed.

A new method based on a palladium-catalyzed tandem reaction for the fast construction of a dianthraceno[a,e]pentalene (DAP) framework is developed, which gave a series of dianthraceno[a,e]pentalenes with good functional group tolerance, and it should be highlighted that five C–C bonds were formed in one reaction.
