One-pot synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted dihydrobenzofurans and benzofurans via rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular C–H insertion reaction
TL;DR: A number of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran and benzofuran derivatives have been obtained in good to excellent yields.

Simple synthesis of neutral and cationic Cu-NHC complexes
TL;DR: A direct and practical synthetic route to N-heterocyclic carbene copper complexes of [(N HC)CuX] (X = halide) and [(NHC)2Cu]PF6 types using commercially available copper powder is described.

TL;DR: In the presence of PhSiH(3) as the hydride donor, catalytic amounts of non-racemic dipyridylphosphine and an easy-to-handle cobalt salt Co(OAc)(2)·4H(2)O formed in situ an effective catalyst system for the asymmetric reduction of a diverse range of aryl alkyl ketones with moderate- to-excellent enantioselectivities.

Application of copper(II)-dipyridylphosphine catalyst in the asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones in air.
TL;DR: A copper(II) salt/chiral dipyridylphosphine/PhSiH(3) system acts as a very effective and practical catalyst for the asymmetric reduction of heteroaromatic and other types of ketones in air with good-to-excellent enantioselectivities, giving many chiral alcohols that are intermediates for physiologically active compounds.

Palladium-Catalyzed Sequential Acylation/Cyanation of Aryl Iodides: A Regiospecific Synthesis of 2-Cyanoaryl Ketones
TL;DR: A palladium-catalyzed, norbornene-mediated acylation/cyanation reaction of iodobenzene was developed by the use of acyl chlorides as acylated reagents and cuprous cyanide.
