Development of safe, renewable, cheap and versatile solvents is a longstanding challenge in chemistry. We show here that vegetable oils and related systems can become prominent solvents for organic synthesis. Suzuki–Miyaura, Hiyama, Stille, Sonogashira and Heck cross-couplings proceed with quantitative yields in a range of vegetable oils, fish oil, butter and waxes used as solvents. Appropriate methodologies
An efficient arylation of electron-poor arenes has been developed without the addition of external ligands or in the presence of a catalytic monoprotected amino acid which assisted the reaction to proceed under mild conditions. The meta-selectivity was observed under both conditions.
An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of naphthalene derivatives via Fe(III)-catalyzed benzannulation of 2-(2-ozoethyl)-benzaldehydes and alkynes has been developed. The system holds the advantages of cheap catalysts, wide substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions.
