TL;DR: The results demonstrated this methodology was highly chemoselective to favor mono-N-alkylation over dialkylation, offering wide applications in peptidomimetic syntheses.
Abstract: A novel method for the mono-N-alkylation of primary amines, diamines, and polyamines was developed using cesium bases in order to prepare secondary amines efficiently. A cesium base not only promoted alkylation of primary amines but also suppressed overalkylations of the produced secondary amines. Various amines, alkyl bromides, and alkyl sulfonates were examined, and the results demonstrated this methodology was highly chemoselective to favor mono-N-alkylation over dialkylation. In particular, use of either sterically demanding substrates or amino acid derivatives afforded the secondary amines exclusively, offering wide applications in peptidomimetic syntheses.

TL;DR: A mild and efficient Pd(II) catalysis was reported, leading to the formation of carbon-carbon bonds between a broad spectrum of organoboron compounds and alkenes, and molecular oxygen was employed to reoxidize the resultant PD(0) species back to Pd (II) during catalytic cycles.

TL;DR: This Review provides an overview of C-H bond functionalization strategies for the rapid synthesis of biologically active compounds such as natural products and pharmaceutical targets.
Abstract: The direct functionalization of C-H bonds in organic compounds has recently emerged as a powerful and ideal method for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. This Review provides an overview of C-H bond functionalization strategies for the rapid synthesis of biologically active compounds such as natural products and pharmaceutical targets.
