A transition-metal-free coupling annulation reaction of arynes, ketones, and alkynoates has been demonstrated. Using this formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, a wide variety of naphthalene derivatives were conveniently constructed in one pot with high efficiency. In addition, this novel and valid annulation has been successfully applied to the synthesis of 1-phenanthrenol derivatives.

A convenient and efficient transition-metal-free method has been developed for the C(sp)-H alkoxylation/aryloxylation of 1,4-quinones by direct cross-dehydrogenative coupling with readily available alcohols and phenols in the presence of TEMPO under simple and mild conditions. The method allowed the installation of a wide range of alkoxy/aryloxy groups, exhibited high functional group tolerance, showed a broad substrate scope, afforded good to excellent yields of products in a simple one-pot operation, and could be performed on a gram scale. Mechanistic investigation indicated the involvement of the radical pathway.

The functionalization of pyridines at positions remote to the N-atom remains an outstanding problem in organic synthesis. The inherent challenges associated with overriding the influence of the embedded N-atom within pyridines was overcome using n-butylsodium, which provided an avenue to deprotonate and functionalize the C4-position over traditionally observed addition products that are formed with organolithium bases. In this work, we show that freshly generated 4-sodiopyrdines could undergo transition metal free alkylation reactions directly with a variety of primary alkyl halides bearing diverse functional groups.

A photocatalytic dearomative hydrosilylation reaction of indole derivatives with silanes has been accomplished for the synthesis of valuable indolinyl silanes through a carbon-silyl radical coupling process with the cooperation of photoredox and hydrogen atom transfer catalytic systems composed of 3DPA2FBN (2,4,6-tris(diphenylamino)-3,5-difluorobenzonitrile), (i-Pr)SiSH, and base additives. This protocol is featured by a broad substrate scope, transition metal-free conditions, high diastereoselectivities and applications in natural product derivatives.

The construction of N-containing aromatic compounds from lignin is of great importance to expanding the boundary of the biorefinery and meeting the demand for value-added biorefinery. However, it remains a huge challenge due to the complex lignin structure and the incompatible catalysis for C-O/C-C bond cleavage and C-N formation. Herein, sustainable synthesis of cinnamonitrile derivatives from lignin β-O-4 model compounds in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (TEMPO), (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (BAIB), and a strong base has been achieved in a one-pot, two-step fashion under transition-metal-free conditions.

An unprecedented, transition metal-free -alkylation of disulfides with alkyl halides is developed for the first time, providing an efficient and green synthesis of thioethers and even thioesters. Notably, this new method allows the full utilization of both sulfur atoms of disulfides under chemical reductant-free conditions and can be easily scaled up in gram scale, showing good practical value. Control experiments suggested that water, unprecedentedly, serves as the terminal reductant of the whole reaction.
