An oxidant-free three-component synthesis of biologically significant 7-amino-6-benzo[]chromen-6-ones was established involving a Sc(OTf) catalyzed three-component reaction between primary amines, β-ketoesters and 2-hydroxychalcones under green conditions. In this strategy, both the B and C rings of 6-benzo[]chromen-6-ones were constructed simultaneously starting from acyclic precursors by generating four new bonds including two C-C, one C-N and one C-O in a single synthetic operation. The mechanism of this sequential cascade process involves the initial formation of a β-enaminone intermediate followed by Michael addition with 2-hydroxychalcone, intramolecular cyclization, dehydration, lactonization and aromatization steps. Unlike the related literature approaches, this reaction delivered the products without the addition of any external oxidants to achieve the key aromatization step.

An electrochemical three-component reaction involving elemental sulfur is disclosed for achieving a metal-free, oxidant-free synthesis of thioesters in a high atom-economical, step-economical and chemoselective manner. A mechanistic investigation indicates that the use of elemental sulfur to trap acyl radical derived from radical umpolung of α-keto acid with an electrochemical design can efficiently generate a carbonyl thiyl radical, which can further be captured by diazoalkane to afford various thioesters.

A facile and efficient catalyst-/metal-/oxidant-free DBU-promoted deaminative thiolation reaction of 1-benzo[]imidazol-2-amines and benzo[]oxazol-2-amines has been developed at room temperature conditions in a one-pot protocol. This practical three-component strategy represents a novel and environmentally friendly reaction pathway toward the straightforward synthesis of various 2-thio-1-benzo[]imidazoles and 2-thiobenzo[]oxazoles using carbon disulfide as a sulfur source through C-N bond cleavage and C-S bond formation process. Different types of 1-benzo[]imidazol-2-amines, benzo[]oxazol-2-amines, and organic bromides are suitable substrates.

An efficient three-component radical iodosulfonylative cyclization of enynes is described. The visible-light irradiation of iodoform with sulfinates enables sulfonyl radical generation under catalyst- and oxidant-free conditions and triggers the radical addition, cyclization and iodination cascade reactions, giving various vinyl iodide containing sulfones in moderate to good yields.

A metal- and oxidant-free three-component desulfurization and deamination condensation of amidines, isothiocyanates, and hydrazines for the synthesis of structurally diverse fully substituted 1-1,2,4-triazol-3-amines is described. The reaction proceeds without the requirement of any external catalysts, metals, ligands, or oxidants. This [2 + 1 + 2] cyclization strategy involves C-N and C-S bond cleavage and the formation of new C-N bonds in one pot.

A -TsOH-mediated one-pot, three-component methodology has been developed for the synthesis of pyrrolo/indolo[1,2-]quinoxalines substituted with -biphenylester/-arylcarbamate/-arylurea at the C-4 position under open-air heating conditions. The protocol offers a transition-metal-free and external oxidant-free solvent-mediated pathway to afford a library of diversely substituted quinoxalines in moderate to good yields. Various water-miscible aliphatic alcohols and amines participate in the reactions both as solvent as well as reactant.
