A transition-metal-free etherification protocol that is capable of synthesizing deuterated ethers is described. A wide range of aryl alkyl ethers and thioethers were suitable for this transformation owing to the mild reaction conditions. Besides, a series of sterically bulky deuterated alcohols were successfully incorporated into cyano-substituted arenes. The results of mechanistic studies suggested this reaction might take place via nucleophilic aromatic substitution pathway.

A novel PhI(OAc)2-mediated cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction of α-C(sp3)–H bonds adjacent to a hetero atom with various azoles has been developed, which provides an alternative method for constructing C–N bonds with high atom efficiency. This new protocol requires no metal catalyst and it provides ready access to a wide range of N-alkylated azole derivatives in moderate to excellent yields by using commercially available PhI(OAc)2 as the sole oxidant. Furthermore, the method is effective on a gram scale, which highlights the practicality of this transformation. The result of radical-captured experiments indicated that the transformation might involve a free-radical pathway.

The regioselective synthesis of pinacol arylboronate has been achieved from 1,3-disubstituted benzene through directed ortho-metallation (DoM)–borylation sequence. A wide range of substituents and borylating reagents were investigated. In situ lithiation and subsequent boronation predominantly occurred at the ortho-position to afford the desired products in moderate yields.

An efficient and transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of (Z)-N-arylnitrones from the direct coupling of N-nosylhydrazones with nitrosoarenes under mild conditions is described. The protocol is compatible with a wide range of functional groups placed on both the reagents and provided the corresponding nitrones in good to excellent yields by simple recrystallization process. The use of these 1,3-dipoles for the synthesis of substituted indoles is elaborated for 2,3-diphenyl-1H-indole.

A novel and transition-metal-free strategy has been developed for the synthesis of aryl esters starting from corresponding benzylic primary alcohols as the exclusive substrates using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a terminal oxidant in the presence of catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) and imidazole, where the aliphatic alcohols remained unaffected. These reactions are highly chemoselective and associated with high yield and wide applicability accommodating a wide range of substituents. Excellent chemoselectivity has also been demonstrated through intramolecular competition experiments. This protocol can be considered as an important analogue of Tishchenko reaction using benzylic alcohols as the substrates instead of benzaldehydes.
