Abstract
C-O bond formation via C-H alkoxylation remains a challenge, especially coupling with a secondary alcohol, due to its low activity and sterically encumbered property. Here, we report a general and effective cobalt-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of benzamides with secondary alcohols via C-H alkoxylation reaction under solvothermal conditions, enabled by a salicylaldehyde/cobalt complex. The protocol features easy operation without additives, broad substrate scope, and excellent functional tolerance. The applicability is proven by the gram-scale synthesis and modification of natural products.

Abstract
A straight and efficient protocol for the synthesis of hindered indole-ethers via C-H alkoxylation of indoles was developed by a cobalt-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction with secondary alcohols. The selection of the salicylaldehyde-Co(II) catalyst enables the reaction to proceed under conditions without acid or base addition in the presence of limited alcohols. The protocol has broad substrate scope for both indole and secondary alcohols and exhibits good functional tolerance. The synthetic applications are proven by gram-scale reaction and further diversification of the product. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that the activation of C-H bonds is not the rate-determining step of the reaction.

Abstract
A rhodaelectro-catalyzed C2-H selectively decarboxylative alkenylation of 3-carboxy-1H-indoles employing electricity as the traceless terminal oxidant has been accomplished. The weakly coordinating carboxyl group serves as the traceless directing groups. External oxidant-free in an undivided cell with constant current in aqueous solution ensures the decarboxylative C-H alkenylation to be viable and sustainable.

Abstract
The activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds is considered as one of the most attractive techniques in synthetic organic chemistry because it bears the potential to shorten synthetic routes as well as to produce complementary product scopes compared to traditional synthetic strategies. However, many current methods employ silver salts as additives, leading to stoichiometric metal waste and thereby preventing the full potential of C-H activation to be exploited. Therefore, the development of silver-free protocols has recently received increasing attention. Mechanistically, silver can serve various roles in C-H activation and thus, avoiding the use of silver requires different approaches based on the role it serves in a given process. In this Review, we present the comparison of silver-based and silver-free methods. Focusing on the strategic approaches to develop silver-free C-H activation, we provide the reader with the means to develop sustainable methods for C-H activation.

Abstract
A visible-light-induced persulfate-promoted cascade phosphorylation/cyclization reaction to access various phosphorylated pyrrolo[1,2-a]indolediones under mild conditions was developed. Notably, the transformation was carried out with diethyl carbonate/H2O as a green medium at room temperature. More impressively, traditional metal catalysts and photocatalysts could be effectively avoided. The reactions are simple to operate, easy to scale up, and have good functional group tolerance.
