A one-pot synthesis of epoxides from commercially available benzyl alcohols and aldehydes is described. The reaction proceeds through in situ generation of sulfonium salts from benzyl alcohols and their subsequent deprotonation for use in Corey–Chaykovsky epoxidation of aldehydes. The generality of the method is exemplified by the synthesis of 34 epoxides that were made from an array of electronically and sterically varied alcohols and aldehydes.

A highly selective one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted isoflavanes has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the cycloaddition of methyl styryl ethers, derived from phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals under acidic conditions, with electron-withdrawing ortho-quinone methides generated in situ. When phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals were reacted with salicylaldehydes, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding isoflavanes stereoselectively in high yields and with excellent regioselectivities. The present reaction provides versatile access to functionalized isoflavanes, and constitutes a useful tool for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.

An efficient and odourless procedure for a one-pot synthesis of thioesters by the reaction of benzoic anhydrides, thiourea and various organic halides (primary, allylic, and benzylic) or structurally diverse, electron-deficient alkenes (ketones, esters, and nitriles) in the presence of Et3N has been developed. In this method, thiobenzoic acids were in situ generated from the reaction of thiourea with benzoic anhydrides, which were subjected to conjugate addition with electron-deficient alkenes or a nucleophilic displacement reaction with alkyl halides.

A synthetically simple and convenient approach to tetrasubstituted thiophenes with rare combination of the alkoxy, amino, and cyano groups has been developed. The assembly of polyfunctionalized thiophene ring is implemented in one preparative step by sequential addition of isothiocyanate and 2-bromoacetonitrile to the lithiated (with n-BuLi) alkoxyallene. The reaction proceeds through in situ formation and intramolecular cyclization of cyanomethyl 2-alkoxy-N-buta-2,3-dienimidothioate (1-aza-1,3,4-triene).
