A facile catalyst-free regioselective 1,6-aza-Michael addition of -quinone methides with tetrazoles was efficiently developed using water as a green solvent. This process exhibited broad substrate compatibility, including benzotriazole, pyrazole, and indazole, yielding the corresponding -substituted azoles with excellent efficiency and regioselectivity. To demonstrate the practicality of this methodology, gram-scale reactions were successfully conducted. The possible mechanistic pathway is elucidated based on the preliminary results from control experiments as well as discrete fourier transform (DFT) calculations, which reveal that the solvent water plays a crucial role in facilitating the reaction by forming hydrogen bonds with the substrate, thereby enhancing the reaction progress.

A solvent- and catalyst-free protocol for the selective reductive deoxygenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with pinacolborane (HBpin) has been developed. -OH/NH groups efficiently direct the transformation, affording 2-allylphenols and 2-allylanilines under mild conditions with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate a boron-assisted hydride transfer and carbocation pathway.

An efficient electrochemical method for the regioselective difluoroethylation of various (hetero)arenes was smoothly accomplished. Without metal catalysts and external oxidants involved, this method leads to the easy accessibility of valuable CFMe-substituted architectures. Notably, this electrochemical protocol successfully enabled the other valuable fluoroalkylation of heteroarenes.

We report the first successful realization of sulfenylation/phosphorylation of unactivated alkenes via thianthrenation. This strategy achieves regioselective C-S/C-P bond formation in one pot by reacting alkenylsulfonium salts with diaryl disulfides and P(O)-H reagents under basic conditions. The transition-metal- and catalyst-free protocol features mild reaction conditions and broad substrate compatibility, affording a new approach for the selective construction of sulfur- and phosphorus-embedded molecular architectures.

The catalyst-free reaction between 4-hydroxydithiocoumarin and isocyanide was investigated, yielding substituted ()-3-aminomethylene-2-thioxothiochroman-4-one derivatives () regioselectively at the C-3 position of 4-hydroxydithiocoumarin. Cycloaddition of product with acetylene-1,4-dicarboxylate ester afforded adduct regioselectively in good yields. Substrates and reacted with propargyl bromide () in the presence of potassium carbonate in acetone, giving the unusual products and .
