Five coordination sites of Cu(ii) cluster were found in VNU-18 that showed highly efficient catalytic property for the oxidative C–H activation via N–H bonds.
A transition metal‐free approach was developed to achieve substituted furocoumarins via an iodine‐promoted one‐pot cyclization between 4‐hydroxycoumarins and acetophenones. High yields of furocoumarins were achieved in the presence of NH4OAc as an additive, while neither acidic nor basic additives were effective. The reaction would proceed via a 5‐exo‐tet cyclization but not an O‐alkylation. The fact that commercially available starting materials could be used without the need of a transition metal catalyst could be a significant advantage.
Cu2(OBA)2(BPY) metal–organic framework was utilized as a productive heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3-aroylquinolines via one-pot domino reactions of 2-aminobenzylalcohols with propiophenones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
