Conspectus Metalloles are derivatives of cyclopentadiene in which the methylene unit is
replaced by a heteroatom, such as S, Se, Te, N, P, As, Sb, Bi, Si, Ge, Sn, B, Al, Ga, and so …

Phthalimides, an important class of biologically active N-heterocycles, are not only found in
pharmaceuticals, natural products, agrochemicals, polymers, and dyes, but also serve as …

An electrochemical four‐component reaction cascade Mumm rearrangement was
developed. It is a rare example of in situ generation of O‐acyl isoamides for 1, 3‐(O→ N) …

A three-starting-material four-component reaction strategy is described to construct
thienopyrrolediones (TPDs) from the simplest raw materials, elemental sulfur, aldehydes …

A metal-free strategy for the formation of lactams via selective oxidation of cyclic secondary
and tertiary amines is described. Molecular iodine facilitates both chemoselective and …

Benzimidazoles are common in nature, medicines, and materials. Numerous strategies for
preparing 2-arylbenzimidazoles exist. In this work, 1, 2-disubstituted benzimidazoles were …

Transition-metal-free multicomponent reactions involving arynes and isocyanides with either
CO2 or H2O have been reported. With CO2 as the third component, the reactions resulted in …

The oxidative α-functionalization of 2-aryl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs)
promoted by a versatile heterogeneous nanocatalyst consisting of copper nanoparticles …

N-Alkyl and N-aryl-isoindolinones were prepared by a dioxane-mediated oxidation of
isoindoline precursors. The transformation exhibits unique chemoselectivity for …

An efficient, metal‐free oxidation method of the N‐ortho C (sp3)− H bond of amide via visible‐
light irradiation has been developed. A broad range of imides can be facilely obtained at …
