A green, simple, and efficient protocol for the selective methylenation via CuCl2/oxygen-mediated CâH (sp3) oxidation and CâN cleavage using tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) as a carbon source has been developed. The reactions were achieved in green solvent water under atmospheric conditions. The protocol exhibited a broad substrate scope including indoles, anilines, pyrroles and 1,3-dicarbonyls. Furthermore, two key intermediates of the reaction were successfully identified and the mechanism was explored.
A novel, green and efficient method is developed for the synthesis of methylene bridged bis(indolyl)methanes in good to excellent yields. The reaction employs methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as the methylene source and selectfluor as an oxidizing agent. The scope and versatility of the methods have been successfully demonstrated with 48 examples. The metal-free transformation process is suitable for

A mild and efficient protocol for the metal-free C-N bond-cleavage of amides has been developed. The methodology employs iodine as a catalyst to cleave the C(Me)-N bond of dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, providing novel access to methylene-bridged bis-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds instead of enol carbamates in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide.

A degradative dimerisation of Morita-Baylis-Hillmanketones was observed in the presence of a primary diamine. The reaction proceeded swiftly to produce methylene-bridged 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. A brief mechanisticinvestigation alluded to a retro-Mannich reaction as the key step of the transformation.
