AbstractAn indium triflate-catalyzed synthesis of primary carbamates from alcohols and urea as an ecofriendly carbonyl source has been developed. Various linear, branched, and cyclic alcohols were converted into the corresponding carbamates in good to excellent yields. This method also provided access to N-substituted ureas by carbamoylation of amines. All the products were obtained by simple filtration or crystallization, without the need for chromatographic purification. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the carbamoylation reaction proceeds through activation of urea by O-coordination with indium, followed by nucleophilic attack by the alcohol or amine on the carbonyl center of urea. The inexpensive and easily available starting materials and catalyst, the short reaction times, and the ease of product isolation highlight the inherent practicality of the developed method.

The Eschenmoser coupling is a useful carbon–carbon bond forming reaction which has been used in various different synthesis strategies. The reaction proceeds smoothly if S-alkylated ternary thioamides or thiolactames are used. In the case of S-alkylated secondary thioamides or thiolactames, the Eschenmoser coupling needs prolonged reaction times and elevated temperatures to deliver valuable yields. We have used a flow chemistry system to promote the Eschenmoser coupling under enhanced reaction conditions in order to convert the demanding precursors such as S-alkylated secondary thioamides and thiolactames in an efficient way. Under pressurized reaction conditions at about 220 °C, the desired Eschenmoser coupling products were obtained within 70 s residence time. The reaction kinetics was investigated and 15 examples of different building block combinations are given.

The theoretical mechanism of the interaction of 1,3-dichloropropene with 1,2- ethanedithiol in the system "hydrazine hydrate-KOH" has been proposed by the method of B3LYP / 6- 311 ++ G (d, p) in the framework of the theory of the electron-density functional according to which the reaction proceeds successively in several stages, including the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom present in the sp3-hybridized carbon atom with a sulfur atom to form a mono-substitution product that undergoes a prototropic allylic rearrangement that migrates the double bond to the sulfur atom, followed by closure in the dithiolane cycle due to the nucleophilic attack of the sulfide anion of the second thiol group of the reagent per carbon atom located in the γ-position with respect to the second chlorine atom.

An electrophilic enantioselective catalytic method for the a-pentafluoroethylation of alkyl 1-indanone-2-carboxylates is described. Under the use of La(OTf)<sub>3</sub> in combination with (<i>S,R</i>)-indanyl-<i>pybox</i> ligand good results in terms of yield and enantioselectivities were achieved (up to 89% <i>ee</i>). The reaction proceeds under mild conditions leading to the formation of enantioenriched quaternary centers. This methodology uses an hypervalent iodine(III)-CF<sub>2</sub>CF<sub>3</sub> reagent and mechanistic investigations are consistent with the involvement of a radical pathway.

Natural dolomitic limestone (NDL) is employed as a heterogeneous green catalyst for the synthesis of medicinally valuable benzimidazoles, dihydropyrimidinones, and highly functionalized pyridines via C–N, C–C, and C–S bond formations in a mixture of ethanol and H2O under ultrasound irradiation. The catalyst is characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and EDAX analysis. The main advantages of this methodology include the wide substrate scope, cleaner reaction profile, short reaction times, and excellent isolated yields. The products do not require chromatographic purification, and the catalyst can be reused seven times. Therefore, the catalyst is a greener alternative for the synthesis of the above N-heterocycles compared to the existing reported catalysts.

Alkynyl sulfonamides undergo sequential 1,4- then 1,2-addition/rearrangement with lithium acetylides to yield enediynes in the absence of any promoters or catalysts. Mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a novel electrophilic carbenoid with distinct reactivity compared to those previously described.

The reaction of primary and secondary amines with 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoroethene (1) in acetonitrile solvent gives first 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoro-1-aminoethene (2) and then 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-aminoethane (3). With excess amine, pseudo-first-order rate constants for the production of 2 were measured, which showed a second-order reaction, together with a catalysed third-order reaction. In addition to the reagent amines, the reaction is also catalysed by tertiary amines and bases such as oxalate and acetate, but not by chloride and perchlorate, nor by ammonium ions. The enthalpy of activation for the reaction of piperidine with 1 in acetonitrile is 3.7 kcalmol−1, but for the catalysed reaction an apparent value of −2.2 kcal mol−1 was obtained. It is concluded that the reaction proceeds via a pre-equilibrium to a zwitterion, followed by another equilibrium giving a carbanion that yields the product (2) by a rate-determining cleavage of the carbon–fluorine bond.

The hydrophosphination of activated alkenes and internal alkynes is reported using a remarkably simple Ge(iv) pre-catalyst. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction proceeds via a redox neutral catalytic cycle.

A simple and economical synthesis of 3-substituted 3-azido-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones has been realized under mild conditions through copper-catalyzed C(sp3)–H azidation of the corresponding 1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-ones with trimethylsilyl azide. The reaction proceeds by an efficient pathway involving the addition of a N3 radical to the enol tautomer and consecutive C(sp3)−N bond formations. The method is valuable because of its mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, and broad substrate scope, and because of the rich biological activity of the resulting 3-substituted 3-azido-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one products.
