An efficient, metal-free, and sustainable strategy has been described for the ipso-functionalization of phenylboronic acids using air as an oxidant in an aqueous medium.
Metal free green protocol in aqueous medium. Use of GO nanosheets as exclusive heterogeneous catalyst. Almost intact catalytic activity upto the 5th run. Mild reaction conditions preserve sensitive structural moeities.
A convenient, transition-metal-free access to a series of unprecedented saccharin substituted 2,5-dihydropyrroles is reported. This approach employs a post-Ugi-Smiles 5-endo-dig Conia-ene cyclization sequence in mild conditions while incorporating a series...
Graphene oxide nanosheet catalyzed strategies for construction of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones starting from anthranilamide and an aldehyde/ketone in aqueous medium at room temperature have been realized.
