Abstract
A metal-free inactive C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of thioethers with styrenes using TBHP as an initiator and DBU as a base has been developed. This transformation has broken through the low activity of thioethers and realized moderate yields. Herein extended experiments were conducted to confirm the radical relay process, reaction energy and intermediate transformations.

Abstract
Brominated compounds are important, but they are usually prepared in organic solvents. Here, efficient amphiphilic indole-based phase-transfer organocatalysts were developed for environmentally benign bromination reactions in water. As test reactions, hydroxybromination of olefins and aromatic bromination could be conducted in a greener and more sustainable manner compared with methods using organic solvents, producing the corresponding bromides in good yields. Some pure products could be obtained without column chromatography.

Abstract
Described here is a general and highly efficient method for the synthesis of 1H- and 3H-indoles. In the presence of CBr4 and a suitable base, the cyclization of N-aryl enamines proceeds with high efficiency. Unlike previous intramolecular cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of the same substrates, this process does not require the use of either a transition metal or a stoichiometric amount of oxidant. This method also features operational simplicity, easy scalability and good substrate tolerability. Control experiments indicate the reactions may proceed in a tandem sequence of bromination and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation in a simple one-pot procedure.

Abstract
Bromofunctionalizations of olefins are an important class of chemical transformations. N-Bromoimide reagents are commonly used in these reactions but catalysts and chlorinated solvents are often employed to achieve a reasonable reaction rate. In this report, we present a solvent and catalyst-free bromofunctionalization of olefins using mechanical force. Efficient bromofunctionalization of olefins including bromolactonization, bromocycloetherification, and intermolecular bromoesterification were achieved under solvent and catalyst-free conditions using a mechanochemical approach.![]()

Abstract
Intermolecular haloesterification is an important class of transformations. The resulting products are valuable building blocks. However, it is often necessary to use super-stoichiometric amount of acid in order to compensate the low reactivity. Herein, we report a zwitterion-catalyzed intermolecular bromoesterification using acid and olefin in an equimolar ratio. Mechanistic study revealed that the charge pair in the zwitterion works synergistically in activating both NBS and carboxylic acid.
