The access of heterocyclic compounds via direct amination of C-H bonds are of vital interest because of their role in pharmaceutical and natural products. The combination of molecular iodine and electricity activates benzylic C-H bond and facilitates the amination process via intramolecular C-N bond formation. Iodine works as a mediator for the formation of C-N bond via activation of a distance C-H bond through intermediate N-I bond under electrochemical conditions, so iodine can be called electrocatalyst. Under both batch & flow electrochemistry conditions, similar results were obtained in cyclization product with 77 & 78% yields respectively. However, in case of annulation reaction higher yield was obtained with 99% conversion under flow electrochemical conditions using our design of home-made flow microreactor. In both electrochemical transformations, cyclization as well as annulation reaction, no photocatalyst was used. Notably, flow reactions work under safe & environmentally friendly conditions, and continuous products are obtained.

: Hypervalent iodine reagents are a class of non-metallic oxidants have been widely used in the construction of several sorts of bond formations. This surging interest in hypervalent iodine reagents is essentially due to their very useful oxidizing properties, combined with their benign environmental character and commercial availability from the past few decades ago. Furthermore, these hypervalent iodine reagents have been used in the construction of many significant building blocks and privileged scaffolds of bioactive natural products. The purpose of writing this review article is to explore all the transformations in which carbon-oxygen bond formation occurred by using hypervalent iodine reagents under metal-free conditions

: For several decades, biotransformational studies on steroidal compounds have gained a lot of attention because it is an efficient approach for the structural modification of complicated natural or synthetic compounds with high regio-, chemo- and stereoselectivity at environmentally friendly conditions. This review summarizes the use of different strains of Cunninghamella blakesleeana for the biotransformation of sixteen steroids 1-16 into a variety of transformed products. The transformed products may be important as a drug or precursor for the production of important pharmaceuticals. The types of reactions performed by C. blakesleeana include hydroxylation, epoxidation, reduction, demethylation, oxidation, glycosidation, double bond formation, side-chain degradation, isomerisation and opening of an isoxazol ring, which would be difficult to produce by traditional synthesis.

Amine compounds are widely found in natural products, pharmaceuticals and fine chemical products. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop methods for synthesizing amine compounds. Therefore, in recent years, a new method of synthesizing amines has been developed, namely "hydrogen borrowing reaction". This article reviews the alkylation of primary alcohols and amines, the cyclization of amino alcohols to form N-heterocyclic compounds, the reaction of diols and amines to form N-heterocyclic compounds, the reaction of alcohols and sulfonamides, and the reaction of alcohols and amines containing N heteroatoms , Alcohol and ammonia gas and ammonia to produce amine by hydrogen reaction research progress.

An efficient method for N-acylation of amides is described using a pyridine ring as the internal nucleophilic catalyst to give imides in moderate to excellent yields. The methodology provides a facile, air insensitive, and environmentally friendly route to form diversified imide scaffolds, which exist widely in natural products and biologically active materials.
