<p><a>We showed for the first time, the fundamental role<b> </b>of CH<sub>3</sub>CN associated to TMSCl/NaI combination to deprotect S,S-ethylene- and S,S-propylene-ketals into ketones. Indeed, if the TMSCl/NaI association leads to the reduction of dithioketals in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, we have demonstrated that this association can be used to deprotect a large variety of various dithioketals into ketones in CH<sub>3</sub>CN. Otherwise, under mild experimental conditions, O,O-acetals as well as O,S-oxathianes were cleanly deprotected with high yields. It is also possible to easily regenerate the carbonyl function of various hydrazones and imines using this novel protocol. We believe that this metal-free process is a good alternative to other known methodologies used to deprotect dithioketals into ketones.<b></b></a></p><table></table><br>

Dehydrative cyclization of diols to O-heterocycles is attractive, but acid and/or metal-based catalysts are generally required. Here, we present a hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor cooperative catalysis strategy for the synthesis of O-heterocycles from diols in ionic liquids [ILs; e.g., 1-hydroxyethyl-3-methyl imidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([HO-EtMIm][OTf])] under metal-free, acid-free, and mild conditions. [HO-EtMIm][OTf] is tolerant to a wide diol scope, shows performance even better than H2SO4, and affords a series of O-heterocycles including tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, morpholines, dioxanes, and thioxane in high yields. Mechanism investigation indicates that the IL cation and anion serve as hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor, respectively, to activate the C─O and O─H bonds of alcohol via hydrogen bonds, which synergistically catalyze dehydrative cyclization of diols to O-heterocycles. Notably, the products could be spontaneously separated after reaction because of their immiscibility with the IL, and the IL could be recycled. This green strategy has great potential for application in industry.

The metal-free reduction of nitro compounds to amines mediated by trichlorosilane was successfully performed for the first time under continuous-flow conditions. Aromatic as well as aliphatic nitro derivatives were converted to the corresponding primary amines in high yields and very short reaction times with no need for purification. The methodology was also extended to the synthesis of two synthetically relevant intermediates (precursors of baclofen and boscalid).

A Piers-type hydrosilylation of chromones and flavones has been successfully realized for the first time using 0.1 mol % of borane catalyst generated in situ by hydroboration of pentafluorostyrene with HB(C6F5)2 to afford a variety of chromanones and flavanones in 60–99% yields. An attempt for the asymmetric transformation with chiral diyne and HB(C6F5)2 gave chromanones and flavanones in high yields with up to 32% ee.

: An efficient and facial one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrobenzo[g]quinoline- 2,5,10(1H)-triones was developed for the first time. The process proceeded via the three-component cyclocondensation of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone with Meldrum’s acid and substituted benzaldehydes under green conditions. The fused 3,4-dihydropyridin-2(1H)- one-ring naphthoquinones have been synthesized with good to high yields in refluxing ethanol as a green reaction medium. This protocol is simple and effective as well as does not involve the assistance of the catalyst, additive, or hazardous solvents.
