TL;DR: The utility of the sulphide-selective fluorescent probes for the selective detection of sulphides, and the capacity of the probes to monitor enzymatic H(2)S biogenesis and image free sulphide in living cells are shown.

TL;DR: Efficient methods have been developed to synthesize azetidine, pyrrolidine, and indoline compounds via palladium-catalyzed intramolecular amination of C-H bonds at the γ and δ positions of picolinamide (PA) protected amine substrates, highlighting the use of unactivated C- H bond, especially the C(sp(3))-H bond of methyl groups, as functional groups in organic synthesis.

TL;DR: Seven kinds of sp(3)α-C-H activation/C-C formation reactions of alcohols and ethers have been reviewed in this tutorial review, from the viewpoint of both methodology and synthetic application, towards the efficiency, chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity, catalytic system, substrate scope and mechanistic study.

TL;DR: These reactions provide a convenient and straightforward method for the preparation of high-value N-containing products from readily available amine and alkyl iodide precursors.

TL;DR: The efficient synthesis of alkyl ethers is reported by the functionalization of unactivated sp(3)- and sp(2)-hybridized C-H bonds, particularly the C(sp(3))-H bond of methyl groups, as functional groups in organic synthesis.
