59. Reductive Lithiation in the Absence of Aromatic Electron Carriers. A Steric Effect Manifested on the Surface of Lithium Metal Leads to a Difference in Relative Reactivity Depending on Whether the Aromatic Electron Carrier Is Present or Absent
One of the most widely used methods of preparation of organolithium compounds is by the reductive lithiation of alkyl phenyl thioethers or, usually less conveniently, alkyl halides with either aromatic radical-anions of lithium or lithium metal in...

57. Computational Study of Rh-Catalyzed Carboacylation of Olefins: Ligand-Promoted Rhodacycle Isomerization Enables Regioselective C–C Bond Functionalization of Benzocyclobutenones
The mechanism, reactivity, regio- and enantioselectivity of the Rh-catalyzed carboacylation of benzocyclobutenones are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculations indicate that the selective activation of the ...

55. Mechanism and Origins of Selectivities in the Copper-Catalyzed Dearomatization-Induced ortho C–H Cyanation of Vinylarenes
The mechanism of the copper-catalyzed regioselective ortho C–H cyanation of vinylarenes has been investigated using density functional theory calculations. This C–H cyanation is composed of two discrete catalytic cycles (the copper-catalyzed elect...

58. Catalytic asymmetric hydroamination of unactivated internal olefins to aliphatic amines
Catalytic assembly of enantiopure aliphatic amines from abundant and readily available precursors has long been recognized as a paramount challenge in synthetic chemistry. Here, we describe a mild and general copper-catalyzed hydroamination that e...
