Abstract The first direct aziridination of triaryl‐substituted alkenes was achieved by means of an electrochemical process that could extend to multisubstituted styrenes. Specifically, hexafluoroisopropanol sulfamate was used as a nucleophilic nitrogen source. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this electrochemical process proceeds by stepwise formation of two C−N bonds through reactions between cationic carbon species and the sulfamate.

Abstract Electrochemical organic synthesis has attracted increasing attentions as a sustainable and versatile synthetic platform. Quantitative assessment of the electro‐organic reactions, including reaction thermodynamics, electro‐kinetics, and coupled chemical processes, can lead to effective analytical tool to guide their future design. Herein, we demonstrate that electrochemical parameters such as onset potential, Tafel slope, and effective voltage can be utilized as electro‐descriptors for the evaluation of reaction conditions and prediction of reactivities (yields). An “electro‐descriptor‐diagram” is generated, where reactive and non‐reactive conditions/substances show distinct boundary. Successful predictions of reaction outcomes have been demonstrated using electro‐descriptor diagram, or from machine learning algorithms with experimentally‐derived electro‐descriptors. This method represents a promising tool for data‐acquisition, reaction prediction, mechanistic investigation, and high‐throughput screening for general organic electro‐synthesis.
A highly enantioselective Brønsted acid catalyzed direct synthesis of cyclic aminals from aldehydes has been developed. The methodology has been applied to the first asymmetric synthesis of several antihypertensive aminal drugs including (R)-Thiabutazide.
The first example of constructing a Csp3–Csp bond with substituted Hantzsch ester and Meyer nitrile is reported. When benziodoxole-activated alkyne was applied as the alkynyl donor, products containing Csp3–Csp bonds involving primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon centers were achieved in up to 97% yields. K2S2O8 was the optimum radical initiator in this reaction.
Y2O3:Yb-Er/Bi2S3 composite films with photoactive current generation under NIR light excitation were fabricated by electro-deposition and a simple successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method.
An efficient transition-metal-free cascade reaction has been developed for the facile synthesis of 12H-benzo[4,5]thiazolo[2,3-b]quinazolin-12-one derivatives from commercially available isatins and 2-haloaryl isothiocyanates. A preliminary mechanistic study suggested an interrupted Dimroth rearrangement was the key step for the successful transformation.
