Bromination is one of the most important transformations in organic synthesis and can be
carried out using bromine and many other bromo compounds. Use of molecular bromine in …

The existence of a peroxygen acid of sulfur was recognized nearly one and half centuries
ago, 1, 2 but it was not until 1898 that Caro 3 demonstrated the existence of two such acids …

Transformations that selectively functionalize aliphatic C–H bonds hold significant promise
to streamline complex molecule synthesis. Despite the potential for site-selective C–H …

Visible-light-driven organic photochemical reactions have attracted substantial attention
from the synthetic community. Typically, catalytic quantities of photosensitizers, such as …

The storage of solar energy is one of the main challenges in the near future. A rather
unexploited way to fulfil this goal is the solar light induced formation of new chemical bonds …

Several aryl substituted ketones, cyclic ketones, 1, 3-diketones and a β-ketoamide were
halogenated with N-halosuccinimides under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) at …

Indane-1, 3-dione is a versatile building block used in numerous applications ranging from
biosensing, bioactivity, bioimaging to electronics or photopolymerization. In this review, an …

A metal-free one-pot strategy has been developed for the first time to synthesize
pharmaceutically important α-amino ketones from readily available benzylic secondary …

α-Haloketones play an essential role in the synthesis of complex N-, S-, O-heterocycles; of
which some exhibit a remarkable biological activity. Research further illustrated that α-bromo …

A highly efficient, environmentally safe and economic method for selective α-
monobromination of aralkyl, cyclic, acyclic, 1, 3-diketones and β-keto esters and α, α …
