Abstract: A natural driving force is always working behind the synthetic organic chemists towards the development of ‘green’ synthetic methodologies for the synthesis of useful classes of organic molecules having potential applications. The majority of the essential classes of organic transformations, including C-C and C-X (X = heteroatom) bond-forming crosscoupling reactions, cross dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) mostly rely on the requirement of transition-metal catalysts and hazardous organic solvents. Hence, the scope in developing green synthetic strategies by avoiding the use of transitionmetal catalysts and hazardous organic solvents for those important and useful classes of organic transformations is very high. Hence, several attempts are made so far. Water being the most abundant, cheap, and green solvent in the world; numerous synthetic methods have been developed in an aqueous medium. In this review, the development of transitionmetal- free green synthetic strategies for various important classes of organic transformations such as C-C and C-X bondforming cross-coupling, cross dehydrogenative-coupling, and oxidative-coupling in an aqueous media is discussed.

Transition metal complexes are known to be efficient catalyst for many organic transformations. Encapsulation of metal complexes in zeolite cage brings many significant modifications in the structure of the metal complexes, which are very interesting from the catalytic point of view. This study aims in a comparative evaluation of the influence of structure of neat and encapsulated complexes in their catalytic activity. Phenol is one of the major industrial pollutants. Heterogenizing transition metal Schiff bases by encapsulation inside the zeolite would help to minimize the reuse problem of transition metal complexes. This article deals with the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 3-hydroxyquinoxaline-2-carboxaldehyde with ethylenediamine (L1) and an o-phenylene diamine (L2).

Photochemistry, the use of light to promote organic transformations, has been known for more than a century but only recently has revolutionized the way modern chemists are thinking. Except from transition metal-based complexes, small organic molecules have been introduced as catalysts or initiators. In this review, we summarize the potential that (aromatic or aliphatic) aldehydes have as photoinitiators. The photophysical properties and photoreactivity of benzaldehyde are initially provided, followed by applications of aldehydes as initiators for polymerization reactions. Finally, the applications to date regarding aldehydes as photoinitiators in organic synthesis are presented.
