We report a conceptually distinct strategy for the synthesis of 1, 1-diarylalkanes and
triarylalkanes. Key to this approach is the use of light to simultaneously trigger (i) formation …

In the vast majority of top-selling pharmaceutical and industrial products, phenolic structural
motifs are highly prevalent. Non-functionalized simple phenols serve as building blocks in …

Abstract β‐Arylethylamines are prevalent structural motifs in molecules exhibiting biological
activity. Here we report a sequential one‐pot protocol for the 1, 2‐aminoarylation of alkenes …

A Ni-catalyzed reductive dicarbofunctionalization of α-CF3 styrenes with benzyl bromides
has been accomplished. This transformation obviates the commonly facile β-F elimination …

Nitrogen containing compounds, such as anilines, are some of the most widespread and
useful chemical species, although their high and unselective reactivity has prevented their …

Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) stands out as a versatile solvent in synthetic chemists'
repertoire, facilitating a diverse array of intricate chemical reactions. It demonstrates a …

A concise Fe-catalyzed alkylazidation of α-trifluoromethylalkenes via a C–C bond
cleavage/radical addition/azidation cascade is described. This protocol features a broad …

A new class of Michael acceptor, tetrazolyl-trifluoromethyl alkenes, has been discovered.
They readily undergo Michael-type addition instead of addition–elimination reaction with …

A metal-free hexafluoroisopropanol-mediated hydro-phosphorothiolation of styrenes and
donor–acceptor cyclopropanes with S-hydrogen phosphorothioates in a Markovnikov …

We reveal here a catalyst‐free, ring‐opening‐cyclization of donor‐acceptor cyclopropanes
with primary amines to synthesize functionalized dihydropyrroles. This protocol avoids inert …
