A CuI-catalyzed coupling reaction of benzofuran-3(2H)-ones with amines has been well established for the direct synthesis of α-ketoamides. This process involves C–O bond cleavage and C=O/C–N bond formation. Mechanism studies...
Deeply understanding the halogen-bond formation mechanism in surface-supported supramolecular assemblies is under explored compared with the existing knowledge of hydrogen bonding. Here we report the self-assembly of regioisomeric bromine substituted...
