An efficient carbon–sulfur bond formation reaction has been developed under microwave irradiation. This reaction affords a novel and rapid synthesis of thioacetals and sulfides under mild conditions. This method is particularly noteworthy given its experimental simplicity and high generality, and no transition-metal catalysts were needed under our conditions.Key words: microwave, sulfide, thiol, nucleophilic substitution.

A fast and green protocol for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from azides and arylacetaldehydes at room temperature was developed using [bmim]PF6/KOH as the reaction medium. It was found that the in situ-generated carbene from [bmim]PF6/KOH acted as the catalyst. In the absence of a transition-metal catalyst and organic solvent, this azide–arylacetaldehyde [3 + 2] cycloaddition proceeds efficiently, with high levels of regioselectivity, broad range of substrates, excellent yields and simple operation under mild conditions.

The diphenyl diselenide catalyzed oxidative degradation of benzoin to benzoic acid is reported. As this reaction can convert the malodorous compound into an odorless and innocuous product under mild conditions, it might be useful for pollutant disposal. The reaction does not require a transition-metal catalyst or a chemical oxidant, so that it can be performed at low cost and without generation of wastes. This is believed to be the first example of the use of organoselenium catalysis technology in pollutant destruction, thereby expanding its range of applications.

Abstract The 1,2-diamine motif is widely present in natural products, pharmaceutical compounds, and catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis. The simultaneous introduction of two amino groups across an alkene feedstock is an appealing yet challenging approach for the synthesis of 1,2-diamines, primarily due to the inhibitory effect of the diamine products to transition metal catalysts and the difficulty in controlling reaction diastereoselectivity and regioselectivity. Herein we report a scalable electrocatalytic 1,2-diamination reaction that can be used to convert stable, easily available aryl alkenes and sulfamides to 1,2-diamines with excellent diastereoselectivity. Monosubstituted sulfamides react in a regioselective manner to afford 1,2-diamines bearing different substituents on the two amino groups. The combination of an organic redox catalyst and electricity not only obviates the use of any transition metal catalyst and oxidizing reagent, but also ensures broad reaction compatibility with a variety of electronically and sterically diverse substrates.
