A zinc(II) triflate-catalyzed cyclocondensation of ortho-alkynylbenzaldehydes with arylamines in the presence of base under an oxygen atmosphere affording isoquinolones in good to high yields has been developed. The advantages of the present catalyst system include the use of an air-stable and cheap commercially available Lewis acid as the catalyst, high atom utilization and easily available starting materials.

Abstract The employment of transition metal catalysts has been a viable route in the degradation and depolymerization of unsaturated polymers. Initially, unsaturated polymers were degraded with a catalytic system containing a transition metal and a Lewis acid cocatalyst (WCl6/SnBu4). Degradation chemistry was effective in reducing the molecular weight of the polymer, however, the classical catalyst system induces side reactions which generates ill-defined products. These side reactions were obviated by using a preformed alkylidene without a Lewis acid cocatalyst, and perfectly difunctional telechelics were synthesized.

We developed a Beckmann rearrangement employing hypervalent iodine reagent under mild conditions. The reaction of ketoxime with hypervalent iodine afforded the corresponding ketone, but premixing of hypervalent iodine and a Lewis acid was effective for promoting Beckmann rearrangement. Aromatic and aliphatic ketoximes were converted into their corresponding amides in good to high yields.

A method for efficient and mild synthesis of diarylmethylamine scaffold, via Lewis acid catalyzed Friedel–Crafts reaction of donor­–acceptor aziridines with N,N-dialkylanilines to afford a biologically important diarylmethylamine derivatives in high yields (up to 88%), is presented. This reaction is suitable for the synthesis of various diarylmethylamine derivatives and has a broad scope for electron-rich arenes, including dimethoxybenzene.

We report the decarbonylation of aldehydes through an aldehydic C–H bond cleavage catalyzed by a cationic iridium/bisphosphine catalyst. The reaction proceeds under relatively mild conditions to give the corresponding hydrocarbon products in moderate to high yields. In addition, this cationic iridium catalyst system can be applied to an asymmetric hydroacylation of ketones.

AbstractWe herein report that supported copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) on commercially available controlled pore glass (CPG), which exhibit high mechanical, thermal and chemical stability as compared to other silica-based materials, serve as a useful heterogeneous catalyst system for 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (“click” reactions) between terminal alkynes and organic azides under green chemistry conditions. The supported CuNPs-CPG catalyst exhibited a broad substrate scope and gave the corresponding triazole products in high yields. The CuNPs-CPG catalyst exhibit recyclability and could be reuced multiple times without contaminating the products with Cu.

A practical Lewis acid-catalyzed Meyer–Schuster rearrangement of fluoroalkylated propargylic alcohols, leading to a series of β-fluoroalkyl-α,β-enones, is developed. The methodology reported herein features moderate to high yields and high stereoselectivity in the synthesis of β-alkyl-β-fluoroalkyl-α,β-enones.

The combination of 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydropyridines with the strong Lewis acid, B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 , generates a stable pyridinium borohydride species in high yields (94%) in as little as 10 min. This use of biologically inspired hydride sources further builds on the recent work of new hydride donors in the formation of borohydrides. When functionalizing the dihydropyridine with an amide or carboxylic acid moiety, a disproportionation reaction composed of a series of protonation/reduction steps is observed upon the addition of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 . As a result, one equivalent of dihydropyridine undergoes net hydrogenation, whereas the other is dehydrogenated yielding the pyridinium counterpart in a transfer hydrogenation-type mechanism. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry’.


Benzoxazole derivatives are one of the compounds with many interesting biological activities. Conventional methods are often performed under complex conditions using strong acids, expensive metal catalysts, requiring high pressure, high temperature, and under microwave irradiation. In this study, we reported a new method of benzoxazole synthesis with redox catalyst using FeCl3.6H2O and sulfur. This is a suitable, efficient, readily available and environmentally friendly catalyst system for redox and condensation reactions in one step at 100 oC. Applying this new method, we have synthesized eight 2-arylbenzoxazole derivatives with high yields (calculated according to 2-nitrophenol). This research is an important step forward in the synthesis of biologically active compounds containing the benzoxazole framework from readily available starting materials in a single reaction.
