New Friedel-Crafts strategy for preparing 3-acylindoles

A selective Friedel-Crafts acylation of indoles via an unusual cleavage of the amide C-N bond was achieved by triflic anhydride activation. This method offers rapid efficient access to high-biological-value 3-acylindoles, performs a series of scrupulous mechanistic studies and offers a strong courage that amide synthons can form new C-C bonds under transition-metal-free conditions.

Iodine promoted α-hydroxylation of ketones

A novel method for α-hydroxylation of ketones using substoichiometric amount of iodine under metal-free conditions is described. This method has been successfully employed in synthesizing a variety of heterocyclic compounds, which are useful precursors. α-Hydroxylation of diketones and triketones are illustrated. This strategy provides a novel, efficient, mild and inexpensive method for α-hydroxylation of aryl ketones using a sub-stoichiometric amount of molecular iodine.

Di- and triheteroarylalkanes via self-condensation and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts type reaction of heteroaryl alcohols

An efficient synthetic approach to diheteroarylmethanes and 1,3-diheteroarylpropenes has been developed via Yb(iii)-catalyzed sequential self-condensation of 2-furfuryl (or 2-thienyl or 3-indolyl) alcohols followed by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts type re
