An efficient copper-catalyzed radical ring-opening halogenation with HX (aq) is described. This protocol features redox-neutral conditions, green halogen sources, and a broad substrate scope, providing practical access to distally chlorinated, brominated and iodinated alkyl ketones and alkyl nitriles with moderate to good yields.

Arylacetic acid equivalents bearing a pyridine group undergo C(sp)-H/C(sp)-H cross coupling with diverse methylarenes in the presence of a copper based catalyst system. The reaction proceeds the formation of α-carbonyl radicals giving access to α,β-diarylpropionic acids. Preliminary study suggests that the catalyst system is capable of transforming arylbenzyl ketones into 1,2,3-triaryl ketones.

Here, we present a three-component successive radical addition strategy for the preparation of complex noncanonical α-amino acids from easily available glycine derivatives, alkenes, and aryl sulfonium salts via a copper-catalyzed photoredox-neutral catalytic cycle. The utility of this method is further demonstrated by its application in late-stage site-selective modifications of glycine residues in short peptides. It is worth noting that only 1 mol % copper catalyst is required in this reaction, demonstrating high catalytic efficiency.

The direct transformation of methane into C oxygenates such as acetic acid selectively using molecular oxygen (O) is a significant challenge due to the chemical inertness of methane, the difficulty of methane C-H bond activation/C-C bond coupling and the thermodynamically favored over-oxidation. In this study, we have successfully developed a porous aluminium metal-organic framework (MOF)-supported single-site mono-copper(ii) hydroxyl catalyst [MIL-53(Al)-Cu(OH)], which is efficient in directly oxidizing methane to acetic acid in water at 175 °C with a remarkable selectivity using only O. This heterogeneous catalyst achieved an exceptional acetic acid productivity of 11 796 mmol mol h in 9.

Herein, we report a Cu-DTBP-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between 1-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)--indole-3-aldehyde and arylalkene, using DMF as the solvent. Under relatively mild reaction conditions, a series of indole compounds were synthesized in moderate yields (up to 73%). This protocol features good functional group tolerance and high atom economy.

The chemical recycling of polystyrene (PS) waste to value-added aromatic compounds is an attractive but formidable challenge due to the inertness of the C-C bonds in the polymer backbone. Here we develop a light-driven, copper-catalyzed protocol to achieve aerobic oxidation of various alkylarenes or real-life PS waste to benzoic acid and oxidized styrene oligomers. The resulting oligomers can be further transformed under heating conditions, thus achieving benzoic acid in up to 65% total yield through an integrated one-pot two-step procedure.
