Co(OAc)2-Catalyzed Trifluoromethylation and C(3)-Selective Arylation of 2-(Propargylamino)pyridines via a 6-Endo-Dig Cyclization
TL;DR: The study presents the first case of the installation of a trifluoromethyl group into electron-deficient azaarenes and a new 6-endo-dig cyclization involving an unprecedented C(3) selective arylation of the pyridines instead of a commonly observed 5-exo- dig cyclization with "N".

Ligand-free Cu-catalyzed [3 + 2] cyclization for the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines with ambient air as a terminal oxidant
TL;DR: A ligand-free Cu-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of ethyl 2-(quinolin-2-yl)acetates, ethyl 1-yl-1-yl, and ethyl2-(pyridin- 2-yl]acetates with (E)-chalcones for a "one-pot" synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinolines, pyrrollo[2,1

α-Functionalization of 2-Vinylpyridines via a Chiral Phosphine Catalyzed Enantioselective Cross Rauhut–Currier Reaction
TL;DR: Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that two NH protons in the catalyst are critical for the synergistic activation of the substrates and governing the stereoselectivity of this reaction.
