Aliphatic allylic acetates were reduced to alkenes with hexacarbonylmolybdenum(0) in refluxing dioxane under nitrogen atmosphere. These reactions were accelerated by the addition of H2O. 1-Aryl- or 3-arylallyl acetates caused deacetoxylative allylic homocoupling under the same conditions.

benzoxazolone moieties are important scaffolds in a variety of pharmaceutical molecules. These bicyclic heterocycles are usually prepared from a benzene derivative through the construction of an additional five‐membered heterocyclic ring. We report herein a method that enables the efficient synthesis of highly substituted benzimidazolone and benzoxazolone derivatives by building both the benzene and the heterocyclic
An efficient metal-free MizorokiâHeck type reaction of di- and tri-substituted alkenes with 2-chloro-dithiane has been developed under ambient pressure of air or using a relatively low loading of BF3·Et2O. This study represents a new environmentally friendly method for the syntheses of dithianyl-substituted alkene derivatives via a radical oxidative coupling process.
Trifluoromethylation of aromatic alkenes by visible-light-driven photoredox catalysis: Direct conversion of alkenes to 3-trifluoromethyl-1-propenyl and 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-propenyl derivatives
irradiation has been developed. A Ru photocatalyst, [Ru(bpy)3](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), is useful for the present trifluoromethylation and preferable formation of 3-trifluoromethyl-1-propenyl derivatives is observed. Use of an excess amount of Umemoto's reagent readily induces double trifluoromethylation of electron-rich alkenes, resulting in 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1-propenyl skeleton.
Introducing flexiblealkylenebridges to distyrylbenzene can realize monomericemission in the solid state without any requirement for bulky substituents and has many potential applications, diversifying crystalstructure design and fabrication strategies.
