A one-pot and clean synthesis of 2-arylbenzothiazoles via the ambient temperature reaction of 2-aminothiophenols and aromatic aldehydes without catalyst in glycerol as a green solvent has been reported.

In this communication, we report the fabrication of silica nanospheres with a double mesoporous core-shell structure by a one-templating step two-pot synthesis route using an anionic surfactant.

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 one-pot synthesis of 4-nitro-3-phenylisoxazole has been carried out by treatment of cinnamyl alcohol dissolved in acetic acid with sodium nitrite; in addition, 4-phenyl-3-furoxanmethanol was obtained in 40% yield.

Singlet oxygen (1O2) proves to be a powerful tool in mediating the one-pot synthesis of a salinomycin-type [6,6,5]-bis-spiroketal unit starting from a suitably substituted furan nucleus.

A facile synthesis of 2,3-dihydropyrrole derivatives has been achieved through the one-pot, three-component tandem reaction of diazo compounds with anilines and beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-ketoesters in moderate to good yields.

[bmim][OTf] can promote regio- and chemo-selective glycosylation reactions at room temperature. Furthermore, the applicability to ambient three-component reactivity-based one-pot glycosylation reactions is demonstrated for the synthesis of several trisaccharides.

A one-pot indole synthesis consisting of a highly regioselective TiCl(4)-catalyzed hydroamination and a 5-endo Heck cyclization starting from 2-chloroaniline is described, using an in-situ generated, sterically hindered imidazol-2-ylidene palladium complex.

A novel and synthetically efficient Cu(II) catalyzed oxidation-dipolar cycloaddition-aromatization cascade reaction has been developed for a "one-pot" synthesis of biologically important pyrrolo [2, 1-a] isoquinolines.

We achieved highly enantioselective synthesis of cyclic 1,2-sulfamidates and -sulfamides via rhodium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation, and also revealed one-pot preparation of cyclic N-sulfonylimines from α-hydroxy ketones.
