TL;DR: An efficient, atom-economical, and regioselective insertion of indoles into terminal alkynes has been realized via cobalt(III)-catalyzed C-H activation under mild conditions, leading to efficient synthesis of α-gem-vinylindoles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Ni-catalyzed migratory Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling featuring high benzylic or allylic selectivity has been developed, which can serve as a platform for the synthesis of terminal, partially deuterium-labeled molecules from readily accessible starting materials.

TL;DR: A selective palladium-catalyzed trifluoroethylation reaction of indoles has been developed in this article, where the C-H bond activation process, using CF3CH2I as the fluoroalkyl source, can be employed to prepare a variety of 2-CF3CH 2 substituted indoles.

TL;DR: A novel palladium-catalyzed intermolecular ditrifluoromethoxylation of unactivated alkenes has been developed, using a new electrophilic reagent, SelectfluorCN, as a strong oxidant, and AgOCF3 as a trifluaromethoxide source.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a catalyst-controlled divergent access to three classes of medium-sized bicyclic compounds in high efficiency and stereoselectivity, by palladium-catalysed cycloadditions of tropones with γ-methylidene-δ-valerolactones.
