Reported here is an efficient Friedel–Crafts-type reaction followed by electrocyclization
cascade under an air atmosphere, employing readily available building blocks as starting …

α-(3-Indolyl) ketones are essential building blocks for the generation of biologically active
molecules. We described a new method for the direct assembly of α-(3-indolyl) ketones …

Iodine-catalyzed selective C-3 benzylation of indoles with benzylic alcohols is developed.
The reaction proceeds with molecular iodine as the catalyst under ligand-, metal-, and base …

A silver-catalyzed phosphorylation/cyclization cascade of N-allyl anilines was developed,
allowing direct access to 3-phosphonoalkyl indolines, which were previously obtainable …

Phosphomolybdic acid (H3PMo12O40) was found to be a bifunctional catalyst for C─ C
bond formation via the dehydrative reaction of diarylmethanols with various nucleophiles …

An iron‐catalyzed cyanoalkylation using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) is reported. With
unactivated double bond as the radical acceptor, N‐allyl anilines underwent …

With an unactivated double bond as the radical acceptor, allyl amines underwent a metal-
free trifluoromethylation/cyclization cascade with CF3SO2Na (Langlois' reagent), affording …

A Brønsted acid catalyzed, operationally simple, scalable route to several functionalized α‐
(3‐indolyl) ketones has been developed and the long‐standing regioisomeric issue has …

A straightforward and efficient synthesis of the two less explored types of indolocarbazoles
has been developed. Two different processes for the carbazole nucleus preparation, a gold …

The direct C (sp3)–H functionalization reactions enable the development of green and
streamlined synthetic routes for structurally complex molecules by circumventing the pre …
