A series of benzofuran and benzo[]thiophen derivatives was synthesized via a transition-metal-free one-pot process at room temperature. This one-pot protocol enables the synthesis of compounds with high reaction efficiency, mild conditions, simple methods, and a wide-ranging substrate scope. Regioselective five-membered heterocycles were constructed in good-to-excellent yields.

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 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.

Rongalite-mediated one-pot aminomethylation of heteroarenes using secondary amines/anilines has been developed. This transition-metal-free and mild reaction offers an efficient way to synthesize aminomethylated heteroaromatic compounds with high yields and broad functional group tolerance. Here, Rongalite plays a key role in generating the C1 unit source , which triggers the aminomethylation process.

A convenient and practical method has been developed for synthesizing various -aryl pyrazoles from vinyl sulfoxonium ylides and diazonium salts. When using 1,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides, the reaction selectively yields 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. On the other hand, employing 2,3-disubstituted vinyl sulfoxonium ylides results in the formation of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrazoles.

Regioselective reactions of biologically significant quinones are challenging. An unprecedented advancement in quinone monoacetal (QMA) chemistry is proposed for constructing regioselective and less explored α-alkylated QMAs through the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction. Electrophilic QMAs were transformed to nucleophilic umpolung reagents for aldol-type condensation with several electrophiles.
