Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many
methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated …

This review delves into recent advances and significant breakthroughs in the field of the
catalytic Friedel–Crafts alkylation of targeted arenes or heteroarenes. Though a few earlier …

Functionalized arenes and arenols have diverse applications in chemical synthesis and
material chemistry. Selective functionalization of arenols is a topic of prime interest. In …

A hexafluoroisopropanol-promoted highly regioselective Friedel–Crafts alkylation of arenes
has been developed in this study. Various arenes, including anilides, anisoles, and phenols …

Manipulating carbon-centered radicals to add to electron-deficient systems is a well-
precedented process. By coupling the Fe (II)-mediated Fenton reaction with the Fe (III) …

An efficient synergistic trityl cation ([Ph3C][B (C6F5) 4])/triflic anhydride (Tf2O) catalyzed
alkylation of phenols with alcohols is reported. Benefiting from the formation of the triflate in …

Chemoselective α-C–H functionalization of β-naphthol is achieved with inexpensive and
readily available alcohols using a well-defined, air-stable, and easy-to-prepare Ru (II) …

We report on the use of heterogeneous metal organic framework (MOF) catalysts for the
Friedländer synthesis of 2‐aminoaryl ketone with α‐methylene carbonyl derivatives, a …

A multiple-component oxidative cyclization of easily available 2-naphthols, anilines, and
ethyl glyoxylate is successfully achieved using only molecular oxygen. The reaction enables …

Titanocene dichloride-catalyzed reaction of aniline derivatives with trialkyl orthoformates/
aldehydes has been developed, enabling the synthesis of 59 N-heterocyclic compounds …
