Summary: A metal-free N-doped carbon catalyst derived from chitosan was synthesized and used for selective reductive formylation of quinoline and nitroarenes. The catalyst prepared at 700 degrees C exhibited the best activity. The excellent catalytic activity was attributed to the basicity of the catalyst and the type of N species.

Summary: A metal-free method for the synthesis of phenols from diaryliodonium salts using N-benzylpyridin-2-one as an organocatalyst was developed. Sterically congested, functionalized, and heterocycle-containing iodonium salts were successfully converted to the desired products, including clofibrate and mecloqualone derivatives, in high yields. The gram-scale experiment using a sterically congested substrate also showed promising results.

Summary: In this study, a green-synthesis produced aluminum-based metal-organic framework (Al-MOF) material CAU-10pydc was used as a catalyst for CO2 formylation reaction. The results showed that CAU-10pydc could effectively catalyze the reaction of CO2 and N-methylaniline to N-methyl-N-phenylformamide under mild conditions. CAU-10pydc maintained its efficient catalytic performance after cyclic catalysis and exhibited stability. The universality of this catalyst was demonstrated through reactions with nine substrates. This work represents the first example of a highly effective Al-MOF catalyzing CO2 formylation reaction under green conditions.

Summary: A practical method for synthesizing N-heteroaryl esters from N-heteroaryl methanols using acyl cyanides via C-C bond cleavage without the use of any transition metal is demonstrated. The use of Na2CO3/15-crown-5 couple allows for high efficiency access to a series of N-heteroaryl esters. This protocol is operationally simple and environmentally friendly, producing only cyanides as byproducts.

Summary: Metal-free pyridine arylations have been achieved using O-triflated pyridine N-oxides and N-alkylated indoles. The reactions proceed through reactive intermediates activated by Tf2O treatment, which allow for the selective installation of various indoles at the nitrogen-adjacent positions of pyridine. This protocol offers mild conditions, short reaction times, and ease of handling, making it an environmentally friendly approach to pyridine arylation.
