The selective hydrogenation of quinolines is a valuable transformation for accessing functionalized N-heterocycles, but achieving control over the degree of reduction under mild and sustainable condit...

This study reports the first cobalt-catalysed C–H functionalization of furfural derivatives, demonstrating distinct reactivities based on the substrate. Furfurylimines enable selective C5–H alkenylati...

Limonene undergoes a regioselective Pd(II)-catalyzed C(sp2)–H/C(sp2)–H coupling with acrylic acid esters and amides, α,β-unsaturated ketones, styrenes, and allyl acetate, affording novel 1,3-dienes. DFT computations gave results in accord with the experimental results and allowed for the formulation of a plausible mechanism. The postfunctionalization of one of the coupled products was achieved via a large-scale Sonogashira reaction conducted under micellar catalysis.
