Abstract
We report an approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted heterocyclic aziridines. A Brønsted acid-catalyzed conjugate addition of anilines to trisubstituted heterocyclic chloroalkenes provides an intermediate 1,2-chloroamine. Diastereocontrol was found to vary significantly with solvent selection, with computational modelling confirming selective, spontaneous fragmentation in the presence of trace acids, proceeding through a pseudo-cyclic, protonated intermediate and transition state. These chloroamines can then be converted to the aziridine by treatment with LiHMDS with high stereochemical fidelity. This solvent-induced stereochemical enrichment thereby enables an efficient route to rare cis-aziridines with high dr. The scope, limitations, and mechanistic origins of selectivity are also presented.

Abstract
This study presents a green and practical visible-light-induced photosensitizer-free decarbonylative Minisci-type reaction using aldehydes as alkyl radical precursors. The photocatalytic system exhibits a broad substrate scope and synthetically useful yields. Mechanistic experiments revealed that alkyl radicals could be generated through auto-oxidation of aldehydes under irradiation, which is a mild and effective method for achieving late-stage functionalization of N-heteroarenes. Some biologically active N-heteroarenes could be alkylated using this photocatalytic system smoothly.

Abstract
Herein, a visible-light-triggered photocatalyst-free radical cascade Minisci reaction of heteroarenes, alkenes, and water/alcohols to obtain diverse β-C(sp3) heteroarylated alcohols/ethers has been developed. Achieved under mild and simple conditions, this protocol is scalable and features broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the heteroarene can be served as a photocatalyst to engage single-electron transfer with persulfate.

Abstract
Fused heterocycles with nitrogen incorporation are of particular bioactive use and high importance in many research fields, especially isoquinoline-based [6/6/5] tricycles. Here, we report a unique strategy to access multifunctional N-fused tricycles from α,β-unsaturated isoquinoline ketone and sulfonamide under mild reaction conditions. The methodology features wide substrate tolerance, and a set of N-fused heteroarenes including quinoline, phthalazine, quinazoline, quinoxaline, and benzothiazole cores are furnished efficiently. Moreover, the protocol is easy to scale up to synthesize lamellarin analogues, and the amide group of the product is also easy to transfer to other functional groups.

Abstract
An operably simple microwave-assisted BF3-mediated acetylation reaction of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and a plausible mechanism based on density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations for this transformation are reported. Remarkably, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the direct acetylation for the functional pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (PP) core. The synthesis of this essential building block is reported in high yields using mild reaction conditions, inexpensive reagents, and even substrates with electron-deficient or highly hindered groups. In addition, one of the new methyl ketones was successfully used as a substrate for producing novel and valuable bis-electrophilic compounds with yields of up to 90%. Notably, the discovered acetylation method was successfully applied in other π-excedent (N-hetero)aromatic substrates.

Abstract
A metal-free method for the formylation/acylation of indoles and β-carbolines with (NH4)2S2O8 via direct decarboxylative cross-coupling of α-oxo/ketoacids in moderate to good yields is described. The reaction occurs between ambient temperature and 40 °C under mild reaction conditions with commercially available starting materials. This methodology can be expanded to some biologically active indole alkaloids like pityriacitrins, eudistomins Y1 and Y3, and marinacarbolines A-D.

Abstract
A sustainable and cost-effective manner for the photocatalytic annulation reaction of N-sulfonyl ketimines with N-arylglycines to synthesize imidazolidine-fused sulfamidates (31 examples) by employing CsPbBr3 as a heterogeneous photocatalyst has been developed. The catalyst CsPbBr3 can be simply recovered from the reaction mixture and reused at least five times without an obvious reduction in its photocatalytic reactivity, exhibiting a high catalyst economic feature.
