Abstract
A Cu2O-catalyzed cascade phosphinylation/cyclization reaction of 2'-aminochalcones and diphenylphosphine oxides to produce hemi-indigo derivatives has been developed. This strategy facilitates the sequential formation of a C-P bonds and a C-N bond in a single reaction step. Notably, the approach features one-pot operation, an earth-abundant copper catalyst, readily available starting materials, a broad substrate scope and high compatibility with functional groups, providing 33 compounds in acceptable yields.

Abstract
Phenols are versatile synthetic intermediates and key structural motifs in many natural products and biologically active compounds. We herein report a visible-light-induced aerobic oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids/pinacol esters using air as oxidant and without using any catalysts and base, etc., additives, providing a green entry to a variety of phenols in a highly efficient and concise fashion. This novel reaction is enabled by photoactivation of an electron donor-acceptor complex, in which THF serves as both the solvent and electron donor. DFT studies indicated that the oxidation process involves a concerted hydrogen abstraction transfer from THF and dehydroxylation of boronic acid undergoing spin crossover from triplet to singlet to produce an active peroxoboronic acid intermidiate. Salient merits of this chemistry include broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, and versatile late-stage functionalizations as well as the use of air, visible light, and catalyst- and additive-free conditions. This strategy introduces a novel photoreaction mode with the aid of a solvent, offering a succinct and environmentally sustainable route for synthesizing phenols. The strong practicability and highly efficient access to modifying complex biorelevant molecules bode well for the potential applications of this chemistry in pharmaceutical chemistry.

Abstract
2,1,3-Benzothiadiazole is widely used as a privileged scaffold in pharmaceuticals and organic functional materials. Nonetheless, many current methods for the functionalization of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole rely on preactivation, transition metal catalysts/promoters, or an elevated reaction temperature. Herein we disclose a transition-metal-free visible-light-induced photocatalytic method for the direct C-H alkylation of 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole using readily accessible carboxylic acid derivatives, i.e., N-hydroxyphthalimide esters (NHPEs), as alkylating reagents under room temperature. This mild and scalable method is highlighted by the late-stage installation of the benzothiadiazole scaffold in drugs and natural products.

Abstract
Acyl radicals have been generated from the decarboxylation of α-oxocarboxylic acids by using a readily accessible organic pyrimidopteridine photoredox catalyst under ultraviolet-A (UV-A) light irradiation. These reactive acyl radicals were smoothly added to olefins such as styrenes and diverse Michael acceptors, with the assistance of H2O/D2O as hydrogen donors, enabling easy access to a diverse range of ketones/β-deuterio ketones. A wide range of α-oxocarboxylic acids are compatible with this reaction, which shows a reliable, atom-economical, and eco-friendly protocol. Furthermore, postsynthetic diversifications and applications are presented.
