Abstract
A diastereoselective dearomative carboiodination reaction is reported. We report a novel metal-catalyzed approach to install reactive secondary benzylic iodides. Utilizing the unique reactivity of nickel, we have expanded the carboiodination reaction to non-activated aromatic double bonds forming a previously unattainable class of iodides. We also report a broadly applicable method to avoid the use of a metallic reducing agent by utilizing an alkyl phosphite as the ligand. The reaction is thought to proceed through a syn intramolecular carbonickelation across a 2-substituted indole followed by a diastereoretentive reductive elimination of the carbon-iodine bond. The complex iodinated indolines generated in the reaction were obtained in moderate to good yields and good to excellent diastereoselectivity. The products were easily functionalized by a variety of synthetic methods.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
