An oxidation system to synthesize pyridine derivatives has been developed by oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines and polyhydroquinoline derivatives in good yields.
Porous organic polymers (POPs), and especially covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs), are being developed as the next generation of metal‐free heterogeneous photocatalysts. However, many of the current synthetic routes to obtain these photoactive POPs require expensive monomers and rely on precious metal catalysts, thus hindering their widespread implementation. In this work, a range of POPs was synthesized from simple unfunctionalized aromatic building blocks, through Lewis acid‐catalyzed polymerization. The obtained materials were applied, for the first time, as heterogeneous photocatalysts for the aromatization of
