Facile conversion of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones into highly substituted arenes via a base-mediated, completely regioselective, air-oxidative [3 + 3] benzannulation reaction with readily available 4-sulfonylcrotonates or 1,3-bisphenylsulfonylpropene is reported. The reaction can also be carried out as a one-pot, three-component operation using 4-bromocrotonates, aryl sulfinates, and cinnamaldehyde. This open-flask, metal-free reaction does not require anhydrous solvents, proceeds under mild conditions, and uses atmospheric oxygen as the oxidant to afford high yields of the 3-(arylsulfonyl)benzoic acid esters.

The synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by low energy input has been a long-term target for practical applications yet remains a great challenge. Herein, we developed a low-energy MOF growth strategy at a temperature down to 50 °C by simply introducing seeds into the reaction system. The MOFs are continuously grown on the surface of the seeds at a growth rate dozens of times higher than that of conventional solvothermal synthesis at low temperature, while the resulting MOFs possess high crystallinity, porosity, and stability similar to solvothermal seeds.

As novel promising anticancer candidates, the piano-stool type complexes of ruthenium, [RuCl(η-p-cymene)(N,S-L)]PF, K-, were synthesized from the reaction of the substituted benzo[b]thiophene based thiosemicarbazone ligands (L) with [{RuCl(η-p-cymene)}(μ-Cl)]. All complexes were fully characterized using elemental analysis, and spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR and H NMR. The molecular masses of the complexes were proved by MALDI-TOF analysis.

Part belt oxygen-functionalized pillar[6,10]arenes are synthesized by step cyclization. An oxygen-substituted tetramer and hexamer have been prepared to construct the O3 pillar[6]arene via a hexamer cyclization reaction and the O6 pillar[10]arene through a [4 + 1+4 + 1] cyclization reaction. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that both macrocycles have a large cavity and indicate that the part belt oxygen-functionalized pillar[6,10]arenes have both similar cyclic structures and certain differences in configuration compared to pillararene.

The high potential of non-covalent arene-fluoroarene intermolecular interactions in the design of liquid crystals lies in their ability to strongly promote self-assembly, improve the order and stability of the supramolecular mesophases, and enable tuneability of the optical and electronic properties, which can potentially be exploited for advanced applications in display technologies, photonic devices, sensors, and organic electronics. We recently successfully reported the straightforward synthesis of several mesogens containing four lateral aliphatic chains and derived from the classical triphenylene core self-assembling in columnar mesophases based on this paradigm. These mesogenic compounds were simply obtained in good yields by the nucleophilic substitution (SFAr) of various types of commercially available fluoroarenes with the electrophilic organolithium derivatives 2,2'-dilithio-4,4',5,5'-tetraalkoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (2Li- ).

The palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation is one of the most effective methods for the synthesis of carboxamides having great importance. Replacing fossil-based organic solvents in this routinely used catalytic protocol with biomass-derived media is crucial for developing environmentally safe alternatives and towards sustainability considerations. In this study, the open-chain derivatives of bio-originated substance g-valerolactone i.
