Abstract
ConspectusDuring the past few years, the interest among organic synthesis practitioners in the use of sulfonium salts has exponentially growth. This can arguably be attributed to a series of specific factors: (a) The recent development of more direct and efficient protocols for the synthesis of these species, which make sulfonium reagents of a wide structural variety easily available in multigram scale. (b) The recognition that the reactivity of these salts resembles that of hypervalent iodine compounds, and therefore, they can be used as effective replacement of such species in most of their applications. (c) Their intrinsic thermal stability and tolerance to air and moisture, which clearly surpass that of I(III)-reagents of analogue reactivity, and facilitate their purification, isolation as well-defined species, storage, and safely handling on larger scale. (d) Finally, the possibility to further functionalize sulfonium salts once the sulfur-containing platform has been incorporated. Specifically, this last synthetic approach is not trivial when working with hypervalent I(III)-species and facilitates the access to sulfonium salts with no counterpart in the I(III) realm.This renewed interest in sulfonium salts has led to the improvement of already existing transformations as well as to the discovery of unprecedented ones; in particular, by the development of protocols that incorporate sulfonium salts as partners in traditional cross-coupling and C-H activation steps or combine them with more modern technologies such as photocatalysis or electrosynthesis. In this Account, the reactivity of a series of sulfonium salts originally prepared in our laboratory will be outlined and compared to their I(III)-counterparts. Some of these reagents are now commercially available, and their use has started to spread widely across the synthetic chemistry community, helping to speed the process of identification of potentially bioactive products or new functionaliced materials. However, challenges still remain. The development of sulfonium reagents characterized by an optimal balance between reactivity and site-selectivity, or showing broader compatibility toward sensitive functional groups is still a need. In addition, the intrinsic stability of sulfonium salts often makes necessary the use of (sophisticated) catalysts that activate the latent reactivity hidden in their structures. Although a priori one can see this fact as a disadvantage, it might actually be decisive to harvest the full synthetic potential of sulfonium salts because their thermal stability will surely facilitate the preparation of operational reagents with no counterpart in the context of I(III)-chemistry. If this becomes true, sulfonium salts may contribute to the expediting of retrosynthetic disconnections that, to date, are impossible.

Abstract
Introduction The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens necessitates the urgent development of new antibacterial agents. Concurrently, synthetic chemistry is moving towards more sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact. This study aims to synthesize 3-aryl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-one derivatives, including the natural product cephalandole A, using a sustainable approach that avoids metal catalysts. Methods We employed nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) under microwave-assisted conditions to facilitate the synthesis of the targeted compounds. This metal-free carbon-carbon coupling reaction was optimized for efficiency, yielding good results with reduced reaction times. The synthesized derivatives were then subjected to an in silico molecular docking study to predict their antibacterial potential against key bacterial targets, focusing on the binding affinity and interaction profiles. Results The microwave-assisted SNAr method provided good yields of 55% to 82% and significantly reduced reaction times ranging from 7 to 12 minutes, simplifying the overall workup process. Among the synthesized compounds, 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-6-methyl-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-one (6b) emerged as a promising candidate, demonstrating favorable binding interactions in the molecular docking studies. Discussion The integration of sustainable synthetic methodologies with in silico screening offers a novel and effective strategy for drug discovery. Our findings highlight the potential of the synthesized compounds as antibacterial agents and emphasize the importance of adopting eco-friendly approaches in pharmaceutical chemistry. This research contributes to the global effort to combat antibiotic resistance by providing new compounds for further biological evaluation.

Abstract
Herein, a versatile highly regioselective three-component annulation of simple aromatic ketones and methylamines using a hypervalent iodine reagent for polyarylated 1-pyrrolines has been described in good to excellent yields. Meanwhile, unsymmetrical 1-pyrroline isomers could be realized and synthesized. Such an intriguing one-pot two-step tandem assembly strategy with green conditions and high regioselectivity shows predictable inspiration in related annulation reactions.

Abstract
Iodine-containing molecules, especially hypervalent iodine compounds, have gained significant attention in organic synthesis. They are valuable and sustainable reagents, leading to a remarkable surge in their use for chemical transformations. One such hypervalent iodine compound, phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate)/bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene, commonly referred to as PIFA, has emerged as a prominent candidate due to its attributes of facile manipulation, moderate reactivity, low toxicity, and ready availability. PIFA presents an auspicious prospect as a substitute for costly organometallic catalysts and environmentally hazardous oxidants containing heavy metals. PIFA exhibits remarkable catalytic activity, facilitating an array of consequential organic reactions, including sulfenylation, alkylarylation, oxidative coupling, cascade reactions, amination, amidation, ring-rearrangement, carboxylation, and numerous others. Over the past decade, the application of PIFA in synthetic chemistry has witnessed substantial growth, necessitating an updated exploration of this field. In this discourse, we present a concise overview of PIFA's applications as a 'green' reagent in the domain of synthetic organic chemistry. A primary objective of this article is to bring to the forefront the scientific community's awareness of the merits associated with adopting PIFA as an environmentally conscientious alternative to heavy metals.
