Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryltrimethylammonium triflates and amines was carried out under mild conditions. The reaction has a broad scope of substrates and can be performed by a one-pot procedure from an aryldimethylamine.

An efficient and operationally simple synthesis of fluoroalkanes by deoxygenative hydrofluorination of carbonyl compounds via their tosylhydrazone surrogates is reported. The reaction can be carried out in a one-pot procedure directly from carbonyl compounds.

The consecutive radical/ionic reaction consisting of radical formylation of alkyl bromides and nucleophilic addition of a cyanide ion was investigated, which gave moderate to good yields of cyanohydrin derivatives in one-pot.

An efficient three component one-pot method was developed to assemble 2-heteroaryl-2-aryl acetates via VNS(Ar)-S(N)Ar and VNS(Ar)-S(N) reaction by using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as general solvent.

We have developed a practical synthesis of unique nucleoside derivatives via TiCl(4) promoted multicomponent reaction of optically active dihydrofuran, ethyl pyruvate/glyoxylate, and a TMS protected nucleobase in a single-pot operation.

An efficient, simple-to-perform, one-pot reaction cascade to 2-methylenepyrrolidines from p-toluenesulfonyl protected imines and propargylated malonates under a combination of base and copper(I) catalysis is reported.

A facile synthesis of 4-indole benzofurans from the one-pot reaction of 4-alkyl-2-ynylphenols and indoles via a hypervalent iodine-induced oxidative dearomatization, a silver-catalyzed cascade Michael addition-annulation, and an aromatization is reported.

Spring-like superstructures consisting of layered tin(IV) hydrogen phosphate nanodisks can be obtained via a one-pot solvothermal reaction of tin tetrachloride and phosphoric acid in ethanol. These superstructures are active anode materials for the lithium-ion battery.

A one-pot hetero-Diels-Alder/ring contraction cascade is presented from the reaction of 1-boronodienes and arylnitroso derivatives to derive N-arylpyrroles in moderate to good yields (up to 82%).

Unripe grape juice (verjuice) as a natural catalyst was successfully applied to perform the one-pot reaction of aryl aldehydes, malononitrile, hydrazine hydrate and ethyl acetoacetate to synthesize pyranopyrazole derivatives in aqueous ethanol at room temperature in excellent yields. Furthermore, unripe grape juice catalyzed one-pot synthesis of hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives by t...
