The applications of copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanoparticles, which are based on the earth-
abundant and inexpensive copper metal, have generated a great deal of interest in recent …

The synthesis of heterocycles is an emerging area of chemical research considering their
high importance in pharmaceuticals, material chemistry, and natural product synthesis. The …

The structural uniqueness of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has brought these new
materials great potential for advanced applications. One of the key aspects yet to be …

Transition metal-catalyzed substitution of alcohols by N-nucleophiles (or N-alkylation of
amines and related compounds with alcohols) avoids the use of alkylating agents by means …

Benzothiazole and its derivatives (BTs) are high production volume chemicals that have
been used for several decades in a large number of industrial and consumer products …

The rise of green chemistry has drawn attention to bond construction strategies that promote
atom economy and avoid mutagenic reagents. 1 For example, both goals are achieved by …

The chemistry of amines, amides, and other nitrogencontaining compounds plays a central
role in the organic synthesis. In fact, the first synthesized organic compound was urea. 1 The …

Herein, we present the base-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols
and aromatic diamines to selectively form functionalized 2-substituted benzimidazoles …

Biomass resources have infinite possibilities for introducing nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus
heteroatoms into their structures by virtue of controllable carbon–heteroatom bond …

Oxidation of organic compounds is one of the most fundamental technologies for organic
synthesis. Traditional methods, however, use stoichiometric quantities of toxic heavy metal …
