TL;DR: Investigations into the regioselectivity and reactivity of several tetrafluoro- and trifluoronitrobenzene derivatives provides further evidence for the highly nucleophilic character of the oxidative addition step in contrast to the concerted mechanism of more conventional Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions involving aryl iodides and bromides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the predictive power of using the CF bond as a tool in influencing the conformation of amides and peptides, and demonstrate that it is possible to predict solid state conformation for amides.

TL;DR: The potential of the polyfluorinated ring fused pyridine system as a scaffold for the synthesis of previously inaccessible poly-substituted pyridopyrazine derivatives is demonstrated, in which low molecular weight, polyfunctional heterocyclic derivatives are playing an increasingly important role.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step synthesis of a variety of macrocyclic systems bearing pyridine sub-units was described by X-ray crystallography, and it was shown that complexation of either cations and anions is possible depending on the structure of the macrocycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the first σ-bond analogue of the aromatic [n]helicenes, (M)-1, has been shown to have a remarkably high specific rotation, even at 589 nm, and it has no chromophore that would lead to significant absorption above 200 nm.
