An I-promoted, metal-free protocol has been developed for the one-pot synthesis of 6-aroyl-5,6-dihydro-8-quinazolino[4,3-]quinazolin-8-ones from readily accessible substrates. This reaction involves the sp C-H oxidation of aryl methyl ketones to phenylglyoxal, followed by imine formation and intramolecular nucleophilic addition, resulting in the formation of two new C-N bonds. Furthermore, the method is applicable to a wide range of aryl methyl ketones, including heterocycles and drug-derived substrates, yielding the desired products with yields ranging from 62% to 93%. Additionally, the practical utility of this approach was demonstrated through gram-scale synthesis.

The reduction of aryl carboxylates to methyl and allyl arene was attained using a well-defined cobalt catalyst. This catalytic transformation employs only a sub-stoichiometric amount of base, and diethylsilane as a reductant. Catalytic activation of the Si-H bond of the silanes, C-O bond of the ester, and silyl ether intermediates by cobalt is crucial to achieving exhaustive reduction.

Rhodium(III) catalysis has been used for C-H activation of -nitrosoanilines with substituted allyl alcohols. This method provides an efficient synthesis of the functional -nitroso β-aryl aldehydes and ketones with low catalyst loading, high functional group tolerance, and superior reactivity of allyl alcohols toward -nitrosoanilines. We demonstrated that reaction also proceeds through the one-pot synthesis of -nitrosoaniline, followed by subsequent, C-H activation.

Thiyl radicals are important reactive sulfur species and can cause cis to trans isomerization on unsaturated fatty acids. However, biocompatible strategies for the controlled generation of thiyl radicals are still lacking. In this work, we report the study of a series of naphthacyl-derived thioethers as photo-triggered thiyl radical precursors.

From the most prevalent cancers, breast and lung cancers have a meager survival rate for both men and women. These two cancers are related to each other. Breast cancer can possibly spread to the lungs or the region between the lung and the chest wall.
