- Photocatalyst-free visible light promoted: E → Z isomerization of alkenes
-
A simple and green method of visible light driven photocatalytic E to Z isomerization of alkenes has been developed. A variety of (Z)-alkenes can be prepared in the presence of visible light, without any additional photocatalyst. This protocol features photocatalyst-free conditions, which are mild, tolerant, and operationally simple, and is easy to implement.

- Zinc-mediated facile synthesis of α,β-unsaturated primary amides
-
A general method for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated primary amides was achieved by an one-pot, triphenylphosphine-and zinc powder-promoted Wittig reaction of bromoacetamide and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions.

- Synthesis of Enamides
-
(Z)-3-Arylprop-2-enoic acids can be converted by the Curtius procedure, through the acyl azides, into (Z)-2-arylethenyl isocyanates, which with methanol give methyl (Z)-N-(2-arylethenyl)carbamates.Acylation of the (Z)-enecarbamates, through their anions, leads to methyl (Z)-N-acyl-N-(2-arylethenyl)carbamates, which on treatment with lithium iodide in boiling N,N-dimethylformamide or acetonitrile undergo demethoxycarbonylation to give (Z)-enamides.The stereospecific route to enamides can also be used in the E-series.Treatment of (Z)- or (E)-2-arylethenyl isocyanates with trifluoroacetic acid gives (E)-N-(2-arylethenyl)trifluoroacetamides,the anions of which, with acylating agents, give (E)-enamides directly.
