An FeCl2-promoted carbomethylation of arylacrylamides by di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is achieved, leading to 3-ethyl-3-substituted indolin-2-one in high yield. The reaction tolerates a series of functional groups, such as cyano, nitro, ethyloxy carbonyl, bromo, chloro, and trifluoromethyl groups. The radical methylation and arylation of the alkenyl group are involved in this reaction.

A novel and direct metal-free nitro-carbocyclization of activatedalkenes leading to valuable nitro-containing oxindoles via cascade C-N and C-C bond formation has been developed. The mechanistic study indicates that the initial NO and NO2 radical addition and the following C-H functionalization processes are involved in this transformation.

A copper-catalyzed hydroxysulfenylation of α,β-unsaturated esters/amides is reported. The method presents a selective and efficient synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing electron-withdrawing groups. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the concise synthesis of the anticancer drug bicalutamide.
We report on the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed Truce–Smiles rearrangement of aniline derivatives, in which an unactivated C(aryl)–N bond is cleaved, leading to the formation of a newC(aryl)–C bond. The key to the success of this reaction is the utilization of a highly nucleophilic NHC, which enables the formation of a highly nucleophilic ylide intermediate that is generated from an α,β-unsaturated

Trifluoromethylation-triggered cyclization of alkenes provides a useful route to CF3-containing cyclic compounds. Current approaches to generate CF3-based initiators from a CF3 source require a catalyst or an activator. This work describes a catalyst-free protocol to innately produce electrophilic CF3 species from PhICF3Cl for trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides. A new domino biscyclization of dienes
