We have developed efficacious routes toward the selective synthesis of two classes of compounds such as C-3 amino-methylated indoles and 4-indol-3-yl-methylanilines from the same precursors, namely, indoles and 1,3,5-triazinanes. It is reported that the controlled cleavage of 1,3,5-triazinanes can be effected by heat for the generation of aryl imine motifs, and we observed that the presence of Lewis acid influences the course of these transformations toward different products. The reaction toward indol-3-yl-methylanilines proceeds via a nucleophilic attack of indole to the aryl imine generated from the 1,3,5-triazinanes to form an amino-methylated product which undergoes a Lewis acid mediated Hofmann-Martius-type rearrangement.

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are an emerging class of amorphous organic porous materials with solution processability, which are widely used in a multitude of fields such as gas separation, ion conduction, nanofiltration, etc. PIMs have adjustable pore structure and functional pore wall, so it can achieve selective sieving for specific substances. In order to meet the functional requirements of PIMs, two principal methods are used to synthesize functional PIMs, namely, post-modification of PIMs precursors and functionalization of monomers.

In this study, we present the HOAc-catalyzed selective cleavage of the C=C double bond of enaminones, enabling the formation of a new C-N bond and a new C=N bond for the one-pot synthesis of 2-substituted 3,4-dihydroquinazolines directly from ynones and 2-(aminomethyl)anilines. This method operates in ethanol under transition-metal-free and oxidant-free conditions, offering a sustainable and efficient approach for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinazolines with broad functional group tolerance.

Sesamol is a significant lignan in sesame oil, which can be converted from sesamolin under acid-catalyzed conditions. The effects of several factors on the conversion of sesamolin to sesamol under acid-catalyzed conditions were investigated. The conversion kinetics were studied and the relevant conversion mechanism was revealed by density functional theory (DFT).
