Without any metal catalyst, an efficient transformation of a variety of sulfonyl hydrazides into the corresponding thiosulfonates mediated by NBS/DABCO under air is developed. The method utilizes mild reaction conditions, affords moderate to good yields of product, and tolerates a broad substrate scope. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the decomposition of the sulfonyl hydrazides and the construction of S(O2)–S bonds to form thiosulfonates.

A highly efficient, metal-free, chemical oxidation of hydrazines has been implemented using environmentally friendly TCCA as oxidant. This benign protocol provides straightforward access to a wide range of azo compounds in THF in excellent yield. Altogether, 35 azo compounds were obtained in this way and scale-up preparations were performed. Additionally, a plausible mechanism was also proposed. Step-economical process, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, high reaction efficiency, and easy scale-up highlight the practicality of this methodology.

AbstractCross-dehydrogenative coupling reactions provide a method to construct new chemical bonds by direct C–H activation without any pre-functionalization. Compared to functionalization of a C–H bond α- to ether oxygen, α- to carbonyl, or at a benzylic position, functionalization of unactivated hydrocarbons is difficult and often requires high temperatures, a transition-metal catalyst, or a superstoichiometric quantity of volatile, toxic, and explosive tert-butylhydroperoxide. Here, a cross-dehydrogenative C–O coupling reaction of N-hydroxyphthalimide with unactivated alkanes, nitriles, ethers, and thioethers has been realized by using iodobenzene diacetate as the radical initiator. The current protocol enables efficient functionalization of unactivated hydrocarbons and nitriles through inert C(sp3)–H bond activation under mild reaction conditions. O-substituted NHPI derivatives are generated in good yields under metal-free conditions.

: Metal-free organocatalysts are becoming an important tool for the sustainable developments of various bioactive heterocycles. On the other hand, during last two decades, calix[n]arenes have been gaining considerable attention due to their wide range of applicability in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Recently, sulfonic acid functionalized calix[n] arenes are being employed as an efficient alternative catalyst for the synthesis of various bioactive scaffolds. In this review we have summarized the catalytic efficiency of p-sulfonic acid calix[n]arenes for the synthesis of diverse biologically promising scaffolds under various reaction conditions. There is no such review available in the literature showing the catalytic applicability of p-sulfonic acid calix[n]arenes. Therefore, we strongly believe that this review will surely attract those researchers who are interested about this fascinating organocatalyst.

AbstractA concise and modular synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,6]- and [1,8]naphthyridines by a one-pot two-step reaction consisting of electrophilic acylation followed by an alkyne-carbonyl-metathesis reaction as the final cyclization step is reported. This developed synthetic methodology allows the facile synthesis of these heterocyclic core structures in mainly high overall yields under metal-free conditions. Reaction conditions are carefully optimized and display a novel supplement to access these tricyclic heterocyclic compounds.

AbstractAllylation of nucleophiles with highly reactive electrophiles like allyl halides can be conducted without metal catalysts. Less reactive electrophiles, such as allyl esters and carbonates, usually require a transition metal catalyst to facilitate the allylation. Herein, we report a unique transition-metal-free allylation strategy with allyl ether electrophiles. Reaction of a host of allyl ethers with 2-azaallyl anions delivers valuable homoallylic amine derivatives (up to 92%), which are significant in the pharmaceutical industry. Interestingly, no deprotonative isomerization or cyclization of the products were observed. The potential synthetic utility and ease of operation is demonstrated by a gram scale telescoped preparation of a homoallylic amine. In addition, mechanistic studies provide insight into these C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond-forming reactions.

It has been reported previously that treatment of aryl­ketone-derived arylsulfonylhydrazones with NXS/(nBu)4NX affords exclusively vinyl halides. In contrast, we have found that treatment of aryl­aldehyde-derived arylsulfonylhydrazones with N-chlorosuccinimide in the presence of potassium hydroxide affords 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives in good to excellent yields. The present reactions are carried out under metal-free and mild reaction conditions.

Abstract Alkaline cellulose hydrogenolysis on metal catalyst was an effective way to get C2~C3 polyols. The alkaline cellulose was obtained by treating cellulose with 4 wt% NaOH solution. Ionic liquid-stablized Ru nanoparticles were prepared by reducing metal salt in ionic liquid. The SEM results indicate that the amorphous part of alkaline cellulose is helpful for getting the catalyst into the cavities to have a further hydrogenation reaction. When hydrogenolysis of alkaline cellulose over Ru/[Bmim]BF4 nanoparticles was conducted at 433 K, 63.78% of the substrate was converted with glycerol, 1,2-propanediol and ethylene glycol as main products of which selectivity was up to 58.91 %, whereas the conversion rate over Ru/C catalyst of alkaline cellulose was 59.23 % and only 26.11 % C2~C3 polyols were detected. Moreover, if the ionic liquid-stablized Ru nanoparticles were doped with 53.7 % Ni, the selectivity of C2~C3 polyols was promoted to 65.07 %. These results suggested the advantages of the ionic liquid-stablized Ru nanoparticles, especially doping with Ni, have potentials for promotive selectivity to C2~C3 alcohols. Put forward the plausible mechanism finally.
