Transition Metal Catalyst Free Cross-Coupling Reaction of Tertiary Propargylic Alcohols with Hetero-Areneboronic Acids

We report a perfluorophenylboronic acid catalyzed cross coupling reaction of tertiary propargylic alcohols and hetero-areneboronic acids for valuable benzo[b]thiophene and cyclopenta[a]indene derivates. This coupling reaction proceeds efficiently with a wide array of substrates scope in up to 89% yield and excellent regioselectivity. A significant advantage of our protocol is the transition metal catalyst free and mild conditions needed. This strategy provides direct and facile access to medicinally important benzo[b]thiophene and cyclopenta[a]indene scaffold containing a quaternary carbon center.

Straightforward synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via visible light-induced condensation cyclization

Visible light was used as a readily available and renewable clean energy source for the green and metal catalyst free synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. High and excellent yields of the desired products were obtained with good functional group tolerance.

Robust direct Z-scheme exciton transfer dynamics by architecting 3D BiOI MF-supported non-stoichiometric Cu0.75In0.25S NC nanocomposite for co-catalyst-free photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Photon-assisted hydrogen evolution over a co-catalyst-free CIS–BOI composite abiding by the direct Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism.

Chemoselective Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones to Allylic Alcohols Under Catalyst-Free Conditions

Chemoselective reductions of α, β-unsaturated ketones to afford the corresponding allylic alcohols have always been challenging. Precious metals and ligands have always been employed in these transformations. Herein, we described...

Room Temperature Synthesis of Polythioamides from Multicomponent Polymerization of Sulfur, Pyridine-activated Alkyne, and Amines

Through the design of pyridine-activated diyne monomer, the catalyst-free multicomponent polymerizations of sulfur, aromatic alkyne, and a group of commercially available primary and secondary diamines were realized at room temperature...
