Tetrahydroquinoline is one of the most important simple nitrogen heterocycles, being
widespread in nature and present in a broad variety of pharmacologically active …

The area of direct asymmetric functionalization of inert C–H bonds has attracted
considerable attention in recent years. To realize this type of challenging but promising …

The formation of C C bonds embodies the core of organic chemistry because of its
fundamental application in generation of molecular diversity and complexity. C C bond …

A highly efficient and selective molecular iodine-promoted oxidative cross-
coupling/annulation between 2-naphthols and methyl ketones has been realized. The …

Iminium ions generated in situ via copper (I) bromide catalyzed oxidation of N-aryl amines
readily undergo [4+ 2] cycloadditions with a range of dienophiles. This method involves the …

In recent years, carbon–carbon (C–C) bond formation, by directly connecting two different C–
H bonds under oxidative conditions, has attracted much attention in academia and …

Despite extensive efforts by many practitioners in the field, methods for the direct α‐C− H
bond functionalization of unprotected alicyclic amines remain rare. A new advance in this …

We have reported herein a catalyst-free 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of C, N-cyclic azomethine
imines and 3-nitroindoles by which a series of five-ring-fused tetrahydroisoquinolines …

A facile oxidative coupling of α-carbonyl radicals to 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyanobenzoquinone
(DDQ) for the synthesis of 2, 3-dicyanofurans and thiophenes starting from readily available …

A simple and facile one-pot reaction has been developed to afford a diverse range of N, N′-
disubstituted benzimidazolones and imidazopyridinones containing two differently …
