p-Toluenesulfonic acid mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitroolefins with NaN3 for synthesis of 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles.

A p-TsOH-mediated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitroolefins and sodium azide for the synthesis of 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles has been developed. p-TsOH was discovered as a vital additive in this type of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. This novel cycloaddition reaction is a good method for the rapid synthesis of valuable 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles in high yields.

A facile BPO-mediated ortho-hydroxylation and benzoylation of N-alkyl anilines for synthesis of 2-benzamidophenols.

A facile benzoyl peroxide (BPO) mediated ortho-hydroxylation and benzoylation of N-alkyl anilines for the synthesis of 2-benzamidophenols has been developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and is a good method for the straightforward synthesis of valuable 2-benzamidophenols in good yields under mild conditions.

Oxidation of 2-arylindoles for synthesis of 2-arylbenzoxazinones with oxone as the sole oxidant.

A novel and efficient method for the oxidation of 2-arylindoles to synthesize 2-arylbenzoxazinones utilizing oxone as the sole oxidant has been developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and allows quick and atom-economical assembly of a variety of valuable 2-arylbenzoxazinones in high yields.
