Summary: We report a novel method for the synthesis of olefins from aldehydes and thiols. The process involves the conversion of an unsymmetrical bissulfone intermediate into the corresponding alkene via a transition metal-free protocol. Differently substituted olefins can be synthesized in good yields and with stereoselectivity using basic laboratory chemicals. The choice of solvent determines the kinetic control for the formation of E/Z-products, making this method an interesting addition to olefin syntheses.

Summary: A series of alkoxylated isobenzofuranones were conveniently synthesized through a cascade reaction. The reaction mechanism involves lactonization, aryl migration, and alkoxylation processes, and organocatalytic and chiral reactions were also explored.

Summary: In this study, NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) monolithic catalysts supported by metal foam were synthesized in-situ by a simple one-step hydrothermal method and applied for ozone elimination for the first time. NiFeLDH/IF (Iron Foam, IF) monolithic catalysts were successfully prepared without the use of ammonium fluoride (NH4F), thus avoiding the generation of wastewater containing fluorine. The optimized NiFe-LDH/IF monolithic catalyst exhibited ozone conversion rates of 91.5% and 85% after 6 and 168 hours, respectively, under harsh conditions, demonstrating promising potential for ozone pollution control.
