A palladium-catalyzed domino C–N coupling/Cacchi reaction is reported. Design of
photoluminescent bis-heterocycles, aided by density functional theory calculations, was …

Carbocatalysis is a heterogeneous metal-free catalytic technique of high potential for current
and future synthetic processes. Carbocatalysts entail heterogeneous materials based on sp …

A one-pot, three-component synthesis of indole-benzofuran bis-heterocycles from terminal
alkynes, salicylaldehydes, and indoles has been developed via copper-catalyzed tandem …

Oxidized active carbon (oAC) catalyses the formation of polysubstituted quinolines from o‐
vinyl anilines and aldehydes. The reaction proceeds in a cascade manner through …

Activated carbons obtained from organosolv lignin by chemical activation with KOH and
oxidized with diluted HNO3 were studied as catalysts for aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation …

A simple “reagent-free” thermal air treatment turns active carbon into a mildly oxidized
material with increased quinoidic content that catalytically dehydrogenates saturated N …

A novel and highly efficient Pd-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of bis-heterocycles
featuring both isoxazoline and methyleneindole motifs is demonstrated. The in situ formation …

Activated carbons (ACs) are known to be able to catalyze oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH)
reactions by utilizing O2 as terminal oxidant. Organosolv lignin was chosen as starting …

Comment: The right preparation of the oxidized activated carbon is critical for success. In
some cases, nitric acid treatment was better, but in others, thermal oxidation in air was …
