efficiently undersolvent-freeconditions. Remarkably, this catalytic system disclosed so far the highest TON of 288000 for the cross coupling of alcohols. Notably, this methodology was successfully applied for the one-pot synthesis of a range of flavan derivatives. A detailed DFT studies and kinetic experiments were performed to understand the reaction mechanism as well as the high reactivity of this

An efficient one-pot synthesis of O-heterocycles or aryl ketones has been achieved using Et3SiH in the presence of InCl3 via a sequential ionic hydrogenation reaction by switching the solvent. This methodology can be used to construct C–O bonds and to prepare conjugate reduction products, including chromans, tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, dihydroisobenzofurans, dihydrochalcones, and 1,4-diones
Tosylhydrazine mediated conjugate reduction of 2-hydroxyl chalcones and sequential reductive coupling cyclization is described. This is an unprecedented protocol and an extremely efficient method for a one-pot domino synthesis of 2-arylchromans in good to excellent yields from commercially available, cheap starting materials. More importantly, the two-step reactions can be easily controlled to afford dihydrochalcones or 2-arylchromans by the mole amounts of tosylhydrazine. Furthermore, the operational simplicity of the process and the high functional group tolerance are remarkable. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
