Colloidal Ru nanoparticles (NP) display interesting catalytic properties for the hydrogenation of (hetero)arenes as they proceed efficiently in mild reaction conditions. In this work, a series of Ru based materials was used in order to selectively hydrogenate quinaldine and assess the impact of the stabilizing agent on their catalytic performances. Ru nanoparticles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (AdCOOH) allowed to obtain 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinaldine with a remarkable selectivity in mild reaction conditions by choosing the suitable solvent. The presence of a carboxylate ligand on the surface of the Ru NP led to an increase in the activity when compared to Ru/PVP catalyst. The stabilizing agent had also an impact on the selectivity, as carboxylate ligand modified catalysts promoted the selectivity towards 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinaldine, with bulky carboxylate displaying the highest ones.

A novel photocatalytic method for the synthesis of 1,4-benzoxazepine using 2-alkoxyarylaldehyde as an oxygen source and -arylglycine as a nitrogen source has been reported. This method is mild, efficient, and fast, and the corresponding reaction can be completed within 2 h at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere and light-irradiation conditions. Mechanistic studies have confirmed that this scheme involves the decarboxylation cyclization of -arylglycine and provides a convenient pathway for the preparation of various 2-alkyl--phenyl-substituted 1,4-benzoxazepine.

A synthetic strategy of a palladium-catalyzed cascade annulation reaction followed by aerial oxidation was designed to construct 6-benzo[c]chromene scaffolds. Various 6-benzo[c]chromenes were synthesized under mild reaction conditions using easily accessible -QMs and commercially available -hydroxyarylboronic acids. One of the synthesized chromenes has been ambiguously confirmed by single-crystal XRD analysis.
