An efficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of new phosphorus–sulfur heterocycles by a one-pot three-component condensation reaction of a four-membered-ring thionation reagent [Lawesson’s reagent or its ferrocene analogue (2,4-diferrocenyl-1,3,2,4-diathiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide)], an alkane- or arenedithiol, and a dihaloalkane at room temperature in the presence of triethylamine. The simple synthesis method with mild conditions (room temperature and normal reactant concentrations) enhances further the application of the multicomponent reaction in the preparation of novel phosphorus–sulfur heterocycles. Six representative X-ray structures confirmed the formation of these macrocycles.

A novel one-pot multicomponent reaction to synthesize substituted imidazopyrazines is described. In brief, 1H-(imidazol-5-yl)-N-substituted methanamines react with aldehydes and isocyanides in methanol at room temperature to give imidazopyrazine derivatives in excellent yields. The imidazole nitrogen atom was able to intercept the nascent nitrilium ion, channeling the reaction toward to the sole formation of imidazopyrazines, suppressing the competitive formation of other possible side products deriving from the reaction with the high-energy nitrilium ion. The number of examples and the variability of the nature of isocyanides, aldehydes, and amine components herein employed, witness the robustness of this novel methodology.

The reduction of the relatively inert carbon–oxygen bonds of CO<sub>2</sub> to access useful CO<sub>2</sub>-derived organic products is one of the most important fundamental challenges in synthetic chemistry. Facilitating this bond-cleavage using earth-abundant, non-toxic main group elements (MGEs) is especially arduous because of the difficulty in achieving strong inner-sphere interactions between CO<sub>2</sub> and the MGE. Herein we report the first successful chemical reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> at room temperature by alkali metals, promoted by a cyclic(alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC). One-electron reduction of CAAC-CO<sub>2</sub> adduct (<b>1</b>) with lithium, sodium or potassium metal yields stable monoanionic radicals clusters [M(CAAC–CO<sub>2</sub>)]<sub>n</sub>(M = Li, Na, K, <b> 2</b>-<b>4</b>) and two-electron alkali metal reduction affords open-shell, dianionic clusters of the general formula [M<sub>2</sub>(CAAC–CO<sub>2</sub>)]<sub>n </sub>(<b>5</b>-<b>8</b>). It is notable that these crystalline clusters of reduced CO<sub>2</sub> may also be isolated via the “one-pot” reaction of free CO<sub>2</sub> with free CAAC followed by the addition of alkali metals – a reductive process which does not occur in the absence of carbene. Each of the products <b>2</b>-<b>8</b> were investigated using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods.<br>
