A one-pot three-component synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones via a molecular iodine-catalyzed tandem reaction of simple readily available mono-substituted urea, alkylaldehyde, and arylaldehyde has been developed. The reaction proceeds with high chemo- and regioselectivity to give highly diverse dihydropyrimidinones in reasonable yields under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, the first catalytic enantioselective version of this reaction was also realized by using chiral spirocyclic SPINOL-phosphoric acids.

A tandem approach was developed for the efficient synthesis of substituted chromeno[4,3-b]quinolines from arylamines and O-cinnamyloxy salicylaldehydes under metal-catalyst and photosensitizer-free reaction conditions. Our protocol is based on an inexpensive I2/DMSO system in which molecular iodine first acts as a Lewis acid to promote the formation of the corresponding imine bearing the alkene moiety, then, this species fulfills a second role by catalyzing the intramolecular aza-Diels-Alder cycloaddition to generate the respective tetrahydro-chromenoquinolines as an intermediates. Finally, the dual behaviour of DMSO as an oxidant and as a solvent resulted crucial at this stage, allowing the regeneration of I2 and promoting the aromatization of the tetrahydro-chromenoquinoline intermediates to yield the desired 7-aryl-6H-chromeno[4,3-b]quinolines. This protocol features by being mild, easy to perform, high step-economy (tandem process) and for providing a new access to biologically important nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocyclic molecules.

A visible-light photoredox-catalyzed oxidation/[3+2] cycloaddition/oxidative aromatization cascade reaction of [(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)methyl]phosphonates and activated olefins or alkynes for the efficient synthesis of potentially biological active pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-substituted phosphonates was developed. This transformation features mild reaction conditions (i.e., visible light irradiation, room temperature), molecular oxygen (O2) as a green oxidant, simple ‘one-pot’ operation.

The first example of carbon double-bond formation via praseodymium-mediated Barbier type reaction of ketones and allyl halides in the presence of diethyl phosphite is reported. The reaction is highly α-regioselective and conveniently carried out under mild conditions in a one-pot fashion. From a synthetic point of view, a series of conjugated alkenes were obtained in moderate to good yields in this one-pot reaction with practical reaction conditions.

A simple and highly efficient method for the preparation of tetrasubstituted NH-pyrrole from a wide range of chalcones and diethyl iminodiacetates via a Cu(OAc)2-promoted oxidation/[3+2]cycloaddition/aromatization cascade reaction has been developed. This reaction proceeds through dehydrogenations, deamination, and oxidative cyclization, affording the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. This convenient methodology for constructing tetrasubstituted NH-pyrroles has several advantages over existing methods, such as the use of easily accessible chalcones and readily available diethyl iminodiacetates, and mild reaction conditions. A wide range of substrates are tolerated.

A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric Mannich-type reaction of α-diazo esters with in situ generated N-acyl ketimines, derived from 3-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones has been demonstrated. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild reaction conditions.

An efficient palladium-catalyzed Heck-type reaction of secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl bromides has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance, even towards formyl and hydroxy groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a secondary trifluoromethylated alkyl radical is involved in the reaction.

Nanofibre sepiolite catalyzed the rapid, clean, and highly efficient synthesis of 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives by a one-pot, three-component condensation of a series of aldehydes, various enolizable C–H bonds (such as dimedone, α-naphthol, resorcinol, and 4-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one), and malononitrile in a mixture of water/ethanol. The present method offers several advantages such as high to excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, simple procedure, use of inexpensive, non-toxic, and naturally available catalyst, easy isolation of the products, and no need for column chromatography. The catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction mixture and can be reused for many consecutive trials without a significant decline in its reactivity.
