We report a visible light-assisted one-pot method for the synthesis of polynitrophenols through radical tandem hydroxylation and nitration of arylboronic acids by utilizing copper(II) nitrate tri­hydrate as the nitro source. This method features mild conditions, a simple procedure, and good functional group tolerance. Compared to conventional methods, this work provides a straightforward approach for the polynitration of aromatic compounds.

Bromotrifluoromethane (CF3Br) is a simple, inexpensive and abundant industrial material employed as a trifluoromethylating reagent. However, only limited strategies using CF3Br as a fluorine source are reported. Herein, we describe a visible-light-induced hydrotrifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes with CF3Br. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance, providing a new route for the application of BrCF3 in organic synthesis.

AbstractAlkynes are amongst the most valuable functional groups in organic chemistry and widely used in chemical biology, pharmacy, and materials science. However, the preparation of alkyl-substituted alkynes still remains elusive. Here, we show a nickel-catalyzed deaminative Sonogashira coupling of alkylpyridinium salts. Key to the success of this coupling is the development of an easily accessible and bench-stable amide-type pincer ligand. This ligand allows naturally abundant alkyl amines as alkylating agents in Sonogashira reactions, and produces diverse alkynes in excellent yields under mild conditions. Salient merits of this chemistry include broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, one-pot transformation, versatile late-stage derivatizations as well as the use of inexpensive pre-catalyst and readily available substrates. The high efficiency and strong practicability bode well for the widespread applications of this strategy in constructing functional molecules, materials, and fine chemicals.

Alum (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) performs as a novel catalyst for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles and 2-arylbenzoxazole from o-aminothiophenol and o-aminophenol with various substituted aldehydes in good to excellent isolated yields (85–95%) using water as a solvent at ambient temperature. Several solvents were examined for this reaction; however, in terms of reaction yield and time, water was found to be the optimum solvent. The remarkable advantages offered by this method are an inexpensive and easily available catalyst, a simple procedure, mild conditions, much faster (60–90 min) reactions, and good to excellent yields of products.

A copper-catalyzed expedient, practical, and straightforward approach for the one-pot three-component modular synthesis of multisubstituted imidazoles has been described by using arylacetic acids, N-arylbenzamidines, and nitroalkanes. The reaction involves simultaneous activation of C–H and N–H bonds of arylacetic acids and N-arylbenzamidines, respectively. The use of inexpensive copper sulfate as a catalyst, readily available starting materials, and Celite-free workup makes this protocol economically viable. Multisubstituted imidazoles were obtained in moderate to good yields with significant functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity.

An efficient Fe(III), l-valine, and 4-OH-TEMPO catalytic system was found for the oxidation of alcohols followed by condensation with sulfinamide or sulfonamide in one pot for the synthesis of N-sulfinyl- and N-sulfonylimines compounds under mild conditions. This transformation accommodates a variety of substrates, shows high functional-group tolerance, and affords the corresponding products in good to excellent yields.

A sequential multistep reaction toward 5-thio- or 5-selenotriazoles has been established by generation of both copper(I) triazolides and sulfenylating or selenylating agents in situ, starting from elemental sulfur or selenium. This reaction features mild conditions, readily available and broad-scope substrates, good functional group compatibility, high efficiency and regioselectivity, easy operation, and ligand-free CuI.

A one-pot direct synthesis of a wide range of biologically active benzimidazoles through coupling of phenylenediamines and aldehydes catalyzed by a highly recyclable nonnoble cobalt nanocomposite was developed. A broad set of benzimidazoles can be efficiently synthesized in high yields and with good functional-group tolerance under additive- and oxidant-free mild conditions. The catalyst can be easily recycled for successive uses, and the process permits gram-scale syntheses of benzimidazoles.
