d Catellani-type ortho-C–H-acylation/ipso-cyanation of iodoarenes is developed via a three-component approach using safe and low-toxic sodium carboxylates as the acyl sources and CuCN as the CN source, affording the desired products in yields of 50–94%. Without introducing a directing group on the substrate, a catalytic amount of norbornene and palladium can regioselectively activate the ortho-C–H
A waterproof material is disclosed herein which is obtainable by laminating many sheets of a photo-setting type fiber reinforced thermosetting resin composition comprising a resin composition containing a thermosetting resin, a photopolymerization initiator and a thickener, and a fiber reinforced material, or by laminating plural sheets of a synthetic polymer, and a waterproof application method using the waterproof material is also disclosed herein. According to the present invention, the waterproof layer can be formed on the surface of a civil engineering works or a building in a short time of about 30 minutes by a few steps without polluting a working environment. Furthermore, the waterproof layer, needless to say, has water resistance, weathering resistance, anticorrosion and substrate adhesion. In addition, it is further excellent in follow-up properties to cracks of the substrate, and walking on the waterproof layer is possible.
