Herein, we report a synthetic route to obtain aryl sulfides using inexpensive and non-toxic reactants and water as solvent, that avoids the use of catalysts or heating. The photoinduced reaction between soluble substrates and a series of thiols in alkaline aqueous medium produces the corresponding sulfides in moderate to good yields.

A series of heterocycles was synthesized by the reaction of α,β -unsaturated ketones of benzopyrans or coumarins with various nucleophiles in aqueous medium bearing two points of diversity. Compared to an identical library generated by conventional parallel synthesis, a microwaveassisted procedure dramatically decreased reaction times from hours to minutes, and yields of products and intermediates were improved remarkably. This synthetic approach is ecofriendly in nature which features water as solvent, microwave irradiation, and usage of a “green” catalyst (K2CO3).

Ruthenium-catalyzed formation of lactones from diols in aqueous medium has been demonstrated. 1,3,5-Triazaphosphaadamantane (PTA) included water-soluble ruthenium complexes [RuCl2(PPh3)(2,6-Py-(CH2-PTA)2]·2Br and [RuCl2(PPh3)2(2-PyCH2PTA)]·Br in the presence of KOH were found to be efficient for the synthesis of lactones from diols. The reported synthetic protocol is green as it uses water as solvent, avoids the use of any hydrogen acceptor/oxidant, and produces hydrogen as the only side product. Mechanistic studies revealed that lactone formation involved aldehyde intermediate and followed dehydrogenative pathway.

Eosin B (EoB) and eosin Y (EoY), two xanthene dye derivatives with photosensitizing ability were prepared in high purity through an improved synthetic route. The dyes were grafted to a 6-monoamino-β-cyclodextrin scaffold under mild reaction conditions through a stable amide linkage using the coupling agent 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride. The molecular conjugates, well soluble in aqueous medium, were extensively characterized by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Preliminary spectroscopic investigations showed that the β-cyclodextrin–EoY conjugate retains both the fluorescence properties and the capability to photogenerate singlet oxygen of the unbound chromophore. In contrast, the corresponding β-cyclodextrin–EoB conjugate did not show either relevant emission or photosensitizing activity probably due to aggregation in aqueous medium, which precludes any response to light excitation.
