1. INTRODUCTION Fluorine is the most abundant halogen in the Earth, s crust. 1 However,
only a dozen fluorinated organic compounds have been identified in nature. 2 Most of the …

In the past decades, DMSO has been widely used not only as a common solvent but also as
an environmentally benign oxidant in various organic transformations. Most strikingly, DMSO …

An auxiliary-assisted, copper catalyzed or promoted sulfenylation of benzoic acid derivative
β-C–H bonds and benzylamine derivative γ-C–H bonds has been developed. The method …

Mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C3N4) has been developed as a non-metal,
heterogeneous photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with O2 at …

Nanometre-sized metal oxides are promising species for the development of visible-light-
responsive photocatalysts for the selective transformation of organic functional groups. In …

Metal-and additive-free oxidation of a series of sulfides/thioketones has been achieved
using cyclic diacyl peroxides as mild oxygen sources. This protocol features simple …

A highly mono-selective ortho-methylthiolation of benzamides was achieved via Co-
catalyzed coupling of benzamides with DMSO. The reaction employs an 8-aminoquinoline …

Molybdenum (VI) dichloride dioxide (MoO 2 Cl 2), and its addition complexes [MoO 2 Cl 2
(L) n; L= neutral ligand], are commercially or easily available and inexpensive transition …

Inspired by the reactivity of (per) chlorate reducing molybdoenzymes and encouraged by the
lack of molybdenum-containing functional models thereof, two molybdenum (VI) complexes …

An unprecedented reaction pathway for the borylation of SCF3‐containing arenes using [Rh
(Bpin)(PEt3) 3](pin= pinacolato) is reported. Catalytic processes were developed and the …
