TL;DR: A novel, simple, and efficient radical oxidative decarboxylative coupling with the assistant of the photocatalyst [Ru(phen)3 ]Cl2 is described, and various functional groups are well-tolerated in this reaction and thus provides a new approach to developing advanced methods for aerobic oxidative decarations.

TL;DR: In this article, α-ammonium acetophenones with an oxidizing C-N bond have been designed as substrates for Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation under redox-neutral conditions.

TL;DR: The chemoselective addition of arenes and 1,3-diketones to α-aryldiazoesters was achieved through ligand-controlled gold catalysis, representing a new and efficient approach to form "carbophilic carbocations", which selectively react with carbon nucleophiles.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of Ru-catalyzed arylation, alkylation, and alkenylation of arenes are summarized, and these transformations can be categorized into cross-coupling with electrophiles or oxidative coupling with nucleophiles.

TL;DR: The first enantioselective formal [5+4] cycloaddition is realized under palladium catalysis to deliver benzofuran-fused nine-membered rings in excellent efficiency and stereoselectivity.
