We have realized the photocatalytic radical cascade cyclization reaction, enabling the one‐step synthesis of rare trifluoroethyl benzopyran derivatives with a wide variety of structures and excellent yields. Furthermore, the approach exhibits low catalyst load, strong regional control and wide applicability under mild conditions. The selectivity of this transformation is influenced by the length of the carbon chain of the benzaldehyde, as demonstrated by the density functional theory calculations. Additionally, scaling up the photocatalytic process can be easily accomplished.

An efficient organoiodine-catalysed intramolecular direct C–N bond oxidative coupling reaction is presented. Structurally diverse 3-(mono)substituted oxindoles were rapidly obtained in a complex oxidative system in up to 87% yield. Various N-alkoxy-2-phenylpropanamides were well-tolerated. This study showed that the electronic effects on the aromatic ring of reactants have a crucial effect on the selectivity (C−N/C−O) of cyclisation products. In addition, gram-scale synthesis and late-stage modification of 3-(mono)substituted oxindole derivatives revealed the practical application of this transformation.

Dinitroaromatics are valuable organic compounds. However, the high value of these compounds is accompanied by significant risks and formidable challenges. Herein, we report a safe and highly efficient method for the dinitration of various aromatic compounds, using KNO3 as nitrating agent, polyphosphoric acid as solvent and catalyst. This approach provides a safer and more efficient alternative to the traditional mixed acid system, making it suitable for a range of substrates, especially highly deactivated arenes.

Herein, we report a metal and additive-free unprecedented reactivity of β-ketothioamides with sulfonyl chlorides for the synthesis of previously unreported 2-sulfonyl-3-oxo-N,3-diarylpropanamides via in situ thioamide to amide conversion followed by dehydrohalogenative C-S cross-coupling at room temperature under an open air for the first time. The protocol demonstrates not only its operational simplicity, efficiency, mild condition, and scalability, but also easy to get the diverse α-sulfonyl-β-ketoamides in good to high yields. Additionally, the DFT and photophysical studies supported the proposed mechanism, and revealed unique excitation-dependent emission coupled with ESPT for the synthesized sulfones.

A simple base mediated, highly regioselective 1,4-hydroamidation of β-CF3-1,3-enynamides with secondary amides for synthesis of tri-substituted γ-CF3-allenamides compounds was developed. N-alkyl sulfonamides are generally good candidates for the present transformation. γ-CF3-allenamides could be employed for synthesis of potential value-added compounds such as fluorinated halogenated pyrrole, tetrahydroquinoline and 2-CF3-putrescine derivatives.

The direct asymmetric vinylogous allylic alkylation is an efficient method to construct chiral 1,5-diene compounds. In this work, acyclic unsaturated amides are used as a nucleophile for enantioselective vinylogous allylic alkylation. With 10 mol% of chiral tertiary amine C11, the enantioselective vinylogous allylic alkylation between β,γ-unsaturated pyrazoleamides and Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates is achieved, affording optically active multifunctional chiral 1,5-dienes in moderate to excellent yields (74-99%) with good-to-excellent enantioselectivities (67-94% ee).

This work reports a Cu-catalyzed coupling technique for synthesizing (E)-dienyl sulfones and β-chlorosulfones from 1-arylbutadienes and styrenes, respectively. By employing easily available and inexpensive reagents, this method enables the synthesis of a diverse array of dienyl sulfones and β-chlorosulfones with excellent functional group tolerance under base- and oxidant-free conditions. It also proves versatile for the late-stage functionalization of drug molecules and the scale-up reactions. The method showcases notable selectivity, gentle reaction conditions, and compatibility with various functional groups as demonstrated through 66 examples with excellent display of regioselectivity.
