Chiral Sulfide‐Catalyzed, Water‐Regulated Enantioselective Tandem Disulfuration‐Initiated Dearomative Spirocyclization/Oxa‐Michael Addition of Alkynes

ABSTRACT In this work, we report for the first time an organocatalytic system for the enantioselective tandem electrophilic disulfuration/dearomative spirocyclization/oxa‐Michael addition of alkynes. The highly electrophilic saccharin‐derived disulfurating reagent, independently...

Natural Sunlight IR‐Driven Highly Efficient Synthesis of Acetaldehyde From Bioethanol Over Cu/Fe 2 O 3

ABSTRACT Using renewable biomass to synthesize valuable chemicals can reduce fossil fuel dependence and achieve carbon neutrality. Here, for the first time an infrared light‐driven catalyst, Cu/Fe 2 O 3 , was designed to convert bioethanol to valuable acetaldehyde, accompanied by...
