An efficient, metal-free oxidative coupling of tetrahydroisoquinolines and 3-fluorooxindoles on water has been developed. Using aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant, Et3N as the base, and water as the sole solvent, a variety of 3-fluorooxindoles fully substituted at the 3-position and containing a tetrahydroisoquinoline fragment has been successfully prepared in yields of up to 93% with an anti/syn stereo­selectivity of up to 99:1 under very mild and safe reaction conditions.

An ammonium iodide catalyzed direct oxidative coupling of silanes with alcohols to give various alkoxysilane derivatives was discovered. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide proved to be an efficient oxidant for this transformation. Attractive features of this protocol include its transition-metal-free nature and the mild reaction conditions.

We present a metal-free method for α-acetoxyarone synthesis by self-intermolecular oxidative coupling of aryl ketones using I2−tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Under the optimum conditions, various aryl ketones gave the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields. A series of control experiments were performed; the results suggest the involvement of radical pathways. Multiple radical intermediates were generated in situ and the overall process involved several different reactions, which proceeded self-sequentially in a single reactor. A labeling experiment using 18O-labeled H2O confirmed that the oxygen in the product was derived from TBHP, not from H2O in the TBHP solvent.

Sonochemical oxidative-coupling of formamides with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the corresponding carbamates by CuO nanoparticles as a catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant has been reported. Various derivatives of enol carbamates were synthesized with good to high yields under the optimized reaction conditions. Compared with conventional methods, the main advantage of this method is mild conditions.
