A facile and efficient catalyst-/metal-/oxidant-free DBU-promoted deaminative thiolation reaction of 1-benzo[]imidazol-2-amines and benzo[]oxazol-2-amines has been developed at room temperature conditions in a one-pot protocol. This practical three-component strategy represents a novel and environmentally friendly reaction pathway toward the straightforward synthesis of various 2-thio-1-benzo[]imidazoles and 2-thiobenzo[]oxazoles using carbon disulfide as a sulfur source through C-N bond cleavage and C-S bond formation process. Different types of 1-benzo[]imidazol-2-amines, benzo[]oxazol-2-amines, and organic bromides are suitable substrates.

An efficient copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction for the synthesis of multisubstituted phosphorylhydrazides from ,-disubstituted hydrazines and hydrogen phosphoryl compounds is accomplished. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions without the addition of any external oxidants and bases. This work reported here represents a direct P(═O)-N-N bond formation with the advantages of being operationally simple, good functional group tolerance, and high atom and step economy.

A metal- and oxidant-free three-component desulfurization and deamination condensation of amidines, isothiocyanates, and hydrazines for the synthesis of structurally diverse fully substituted 1-1,2,4-triazol-3-amines is described. The reaction proceeds without the requirement of any external catalysts, metals, ligands, or oxidants. This [2 + 1 + 2] cyclization strategy involves C-N and C-S bond cleavage and the formation of new C-N bonds in one pot.

A new photocatalyst-free visible-light-enhanced strategy for the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-][1,3,5]triazine-2,4-diamines via the formation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes is reported. The generated pyrazolthiourea intermediates from 1-pyrazol-3-amines and isothiocyanates undergo formal [4 + 2] annulation with 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidines (TMG) to deliver the corresponding products involved in three C-N bond formations in a one-pot protocol. The formation of EDA complex from pyrazolthiourea and TMG is confirmed by UV-vis spectroscopy and H NMR experiments.

Background And Aims: Numerous studies have shown that people who have Internet addiction (IA) are more likely to experience poor sleep quality than people who do not. However, few studies have explored mechanisms underlying the relation between IA and poor sleep quality. As a first attempt to address this knowledge gap, a cross-sectional design was applied, and structural equation modeling was used to explore the direct relationship between IA and poor sleep quality, as well as the potential mediating roles of rumination and bedtime procrastination.

The photodriven direct C-C/C-N bond formation initiated by electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes for the synthesis of indoles has been accomplished via [3+2] annulations of secondary arylamines with alkynes using ICF as oxidants in the absence of any photocatalysts and metals. This green transformation exhibits the advantages of operational simplicity, good functional tolerances, and mild reaction conditions. The in situ generated EDA complexes derived from arylamines with alkynes were characterized by UV-vis absorption spectrometry and NMR titration experiments.
