A facile method for the construction of esters through dehydrative coupling of carboxylic acids with alcohols is developed. The reactions are mediated by sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) at room temperature and proceed with high efficiency. The method has several advantages including broad substrate scope, mild conditions, excellent functional group compatibility and affords high yields, even on gram scale.

An efficient protocol for the synthesis of O-aroyl-N,N-dimethylhydroxylamines, which are important electrophilic amination reagents, is described. The reaction between carboxylic acids and N,N-dimethylformamide is mediated by hypervalent iodine and occurs under mild conditions at room temperature to give the desired products in good yields. The process shows good functional group compatibility and air and moisture tolerance.

A novel SO2F2-promoted thiocyanation method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates through C–O bond cleavage of readily available alcohols with ammonium thiocyanate as the thiocyanating agent was developed. The method avoids the use of additional catalyst, and a variety of (hetero)arene, alkene and aliphatic alcohols reacted with high efficiency in ethyl acetate under mild conditions to afford the corresponding thiocyanates in excellent to quantitative yields with broad functional-group compatibility.

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.

A novel decarboxylative N-arylation of indole-2-carboxylic acids with aryl halides is developed. The reaction proceeds efficiently in the presence of Cu2O as the catalyst to give the corresponding N-aryl indoles in high yields. This synthetic method shows good functional group tolerance and offers an alternative route to construct N-aryl indoles.

Diverse dithioic acid copper complexes exhibit a high catalytic activity in the copper-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition using several solvents under different temperatures, showing a high efficiency with only 0.005 mmol catalyst/mmol alkyne or less. A dithioic acid copper complex derived from acetophenone was selected and used as the catalyst in the preparation of a library of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. This process occurred in high yields and good functional group tolerance.
