A one-pot reaction sequence is described in which the addition of one compound allowed switching between simultaneously occurring oxidation and reduction reactions.

We herein report a simple and convenient one-pot synthesis of highly substituted 2-imidazolines in a regiocontrolled and stereospecific matter through the ring expansion reaction of an imidoyl chloride with an aziridine, analogous to the Heine reaction.

A gold(I)-catalysed reaction of allylic alcohols and phenols produces chromans regioselectively via a one-pot Friedel-Crafts allylation/intramolecular hydroalkoxylation sequence. The reaction is mild, practical and tolerant of a wide variety of substituents on the phenol.

This article describes one-pot synthesis of new fluorinated hexahydroquinoline derivatives via unsymmetric Hantzsch reaction involving 5-trifluoromethyl-1,3cyclohexanedione, aldehydes, acetoacetate ester, and ammonium acetate in trifluoroethanol (TFE). The reaction is simple and rapid with high yield.

We describe the first one-pot orthogonal strategy to prepare well-defined cyclopeptide-based heteroglycoclusters (hGCs) from glycosyl thiols. Both thiol-chloroactetyl coupling (TCC) and thiol-ene coupling (TEC) have been used to decorate cyclopeptides regioselectively with diverse combination of sugars. We demonstrate that the reaction sequence starting with TCC can be performed one-pot whereas...

A one-pot synthesis of pyrrole derivatives via reaction between activated carbonyl compounds, primary amines and 1,3-dicarbonyls under solvent-free conditions is described‎.

An efficient, scalable and operationally simple one-pot, 2-step strategy for the nucleophilic formylation of trifluoromethyl ketones is presented. The key step is an unprecedented diaza-carbonyl-ene reaction of formaldehyde tert-butyl hydrazone and trifluoromethyl ketones under solvent-free conditions. This reaction proved to be very fast, clean and high-yielding, affording densely functionalis...

A facile and efficient one-pot, multicomponent synthesis of 4H-chromenes is reported, through the reaction of arylglyoxalmonohydrates with 1,3-diketones and malononitrile in eTEMPthanol in the presence of L-proline as a catalyst.

A one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids in a phosphate buffer has been achieved, and a reaction mechanism proposed. The utilisation of mild reaction conditions readily afforded a range of isoquinolines, including norcoclaurine.
