A new, mild and efficient protocol for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl(indolyl)phenylmethanols by the reaction of indoles with a variety of aromatic fluoromethyl ketones in the presence of K2CO3 (15 mol %) and n-Bu4PBr (15 mol %) in water. The desired products were obtained in good to excellent yields without requiring a column chromatographic purification. The reusability of the catalytic system and large-scale synthesis of indolyl(phenyl)methanols, which would further transform into biological active indole-derived compounds, are further advantages of this protocol.

(Z)-Cinnamate derivatives are prevalent in natural bioactive products and in organic synthesis. Herein, we report a practical approach toward the efficient synthesis of (Z)-cinnamate derivatives via visible-light-driven isomerization. When E-isomers of cinnamate derivatives were irradiated with blue light in the presence of 1 mol% Ir2(ppy)4Cl2 (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine), Z-isomers were readily obtained in good yields. This strategy allows the large-scale synthesis of (Z)-cinnamate derivatives with simple purification. This convenient, mild, and green synthetic methodology was subsequently applied to the synthesis of coumarins.

The large scale synthesis of three orthogonally protected monosaccharide scaffolds suitable for use in the solid phase preparation of large diversity libraries is presented. Scaffolds based on 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose, 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-allopyranose, and 2,4-diamino-2,4-dideoxy-d-galactopyranose were prepared in good yield and with minimal chromatographic purification from commercially available methyl 2-azido-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranose and methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranose.

A Pdᴵᴵ-catalyzed, ligand-enabled gamma-C(sp3)–H arylation of free primary aliphatic amines and amino esters without using an exogenous directing group is reported. This reaction is compatible with unhindered free aliphatic amines, and it is also be applicable to the rapid synthesis of biologically and synthetically valuable unnatural α-amino acids. Large scale synthesis is also feasible using this method.<br>

<div>Methods to catalytically introduce deuterium in synthetically useful yields ortho to a carboxylic acid directing group on arenes typically requires D2 or CD3CO2D, which makes using these approaches cost prohibitive for large scale synthesis (equipment and reagent costs respectively). Herein we present a simplified approach using catalytic RhIII and D2O as deuterium source, and show its application to H/D exchange on various acidic substrates.</div>
