Base-Promoted Hydrophosphorylation of Enaminones for the Synthesis of Geminal Phosphoryl Amino Ketones

Abstract The direct hydrophosphorylation reaction of NH-enaminones has been achieved by simple base promotion with diaryl phosphine oxides as reaction partners. The synthesis of divergent β-phosphoryl-β-amino ketones has been allowed under mild heating (30 °C) in a green medium o...

Electrochemical Sequential Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling for the Chemoselective Synthesis of Bis(arylthio)-Substituted Biphenyl Diamines

Abstract Controlling C–C and C–S bond formation in one oxidative operation remains challenging because the two coupling modes compete and thiols are prone to overoxidation. Herein, we report an oxidant- and transition-metal-catalyst-free electrochemical strategy for synthesizing...
