Abstract
Efficient valorization of lignin, a sustainable source of functionalized aromatic products, would reduce dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks. Oxidative depolymerization is frequently applied to lignin to generate phenolic monomers. However, due to the instability of phenolic intermediates, repolymerization and dearylation reactions lead to low selectivity and product yields. Here, a highly efficient strategy to extract the aromatic monomers from lignin affording functionalized diaryl ethers using oxidative cross-coupling reactions is described, which overcomes the limitations of oxidative methods and affords high-value specialty chemicals. Reaction of phenylboronic acids with lignin converts the reactive phenolic intermediates into stable diaryl ether products in near-theoretical maximum yields (92% for beech lignin and 95% for poplar lignin based on the content of β-O-4 linkages). This strategy suppresses side reactions typically encountered in oxidative depolymerization reactions of lignin and provides a new approach for the direct transformation of lignin into valuable functionalized diaryl ethers, including key intermediates in pharmaceutical and natural product synthesis.

Abstract
Intramolecular C-H activation/C-O coupling, dearomatization, and [4+2] cycloaddition of BINOL units have been well developed in a one-pot approach with maleimide derivatives as the dienophiles. This tandem catalytic system generates a variety of functionalized bridged polycyclic products in a step-economical manner, which greatly enriches the modification methods and strategies for the BINOL skeletons.

Abstract
Herein, we report a bioinspired approach to the synthesis of 1,4-benzothiazines by drawing inspiration from the biosynthesis of pheomelanin pigments (pheomelanogenesis). In this context, general conditions for the regioselective coupling reaction between ortho-quinones and thiols were developed. The mild conditions proved amenable to a wide scope of both thiol and ortho-quinone coupling partners while simultaneously suppressing redox-exchange. The utility of this methodology was demonstrated by a synthesis of 1,4-benzothiazines, following a biomimetic, oxidative cyclization.

Abstract
Persistent radicals, which are generated from 2-oxindole or benzofuranone dimers, are useful tools for designing the radical-based cross-coupling reaction to provide molecules containing a quaternary carbon. The persistent radical is accessible from both the dimer and monomer; however, the reactivity difference between these substrates for the oxidative cross-coupling reaction is not fully understood, most likely because of the mechanistic complexity. Here, we present details of an aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction using various monomers and catechols. UV-Vis analysis and mechanistic control experiments showed that the monomer is less reactive than the dimer under aerobic conditions. Our Pd(II)-BINAP-μ-hydroxo complex significantly improved the reactivity of the monomers for the aerobic CDC reaction with catechols, yielding results comparable to those of the corresponding dimer. The procedure, which enables the generation of the persistent radical in situ, is particularly useful when employing the monomer that is not readily converted to the corresponding dimer.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrated the oxidative cross-dehydrogenative coupling between amidines and chalcones catalyzed by flavin and iodine. The riboflavin-iodine catalytic system played multiple roles in substrate- and O2-activation, enabling the facile and atom-economical synthesis of tetra-substituted imidazoles in good yields (60-87%). This metal-free reaction consumed only 1 equiv of molecular oxygen and generated 2 equiv of environmentally benign H2O as the only byproduct.

Abstract
Flammulina Velutipes (F. velutipes) is widely planted all over the world and is rich in nutrients, which is of great benefit to the human body. However, the research on the aroma of F. velutipes is relatively rare, which limits the application of F. velutipes in deep processing, resulting in a single product and edible method of F. velutipes. The purpose of this study was to find out the aroma compounds contributing to the sensory properties of F. velutipes to promote the application of different varieties of F. velutipes in deep processing. Aromas of 7 species of F. velutipes were described and evaluated by sensory evaluation experiment. The volatile compounds in seven kinds of F. velutipes were detected by headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 74 volatile compounds were found, including 23 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 2 phenols, 1 acid, 16 esters, 7 ketones, 1 ether, 13 hydrocarbons, 1 sulfide, 1 acyl compound, and 4 heterocyclic compounds. It was also found that the sensory evaluation results of sample F, C, and E had a high correlation with the content of compound, and the correlation between sample B and sample A was also high. A lexicon for describing aroma attributes of F. velutipes was developed and they could be grouped into categories, such as fruity (apple-like, banana-like, cucumber-like, citrus-like and berry-like), alcoholic (whisky-like, fermented fruit-like), milky (creamy-like), floral (hyacinth-like, phoenix-like, iris-like and mint-like), sulfurous (onion-like), and musty (mud-like). This research will provide a theoretical basis for the future study of F. velutipes aroma and the development and application of F. velutipes products.

Abstract
A Cu-catalyzed straightforward synthesis of benzoxazoles from free phenols and cyclic oxime esters is reported. The mild reaction conditions tolerate various electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functional groups on both substrates, affording benzoxazoles in moderate to good yields. With this protocol, large-scale syntheses of Ezutromid and Flunoxaprofe in one or two steps are demonstrated. A catalytic mechanism, which includes Cu-catalyzed amination via inner-sphere electron transfer and consequent annulation, is proposed.

Abstract
We developed a Cr-catalyzed strategy for the regioselective formation of Csp2-Csp3 bonds through the direct and efficient ortho-aminomethylation of N,N-dimethylanilines with phenols. The approach showed excellent site selectivity at the ortho-position of phenols and accommodated broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility for both N,N-dimethylanilines and phenols. Mechanistic studies revealed that the direct ortho-aminomethylation between N,N-dimethylanilines and phenols occurred via an ionic mechanism.

Abstract
An aerobic copper-catalyzed cascade oxidative isomerization/[4+4] cyclization of 2,2'-disubstituted stilbenes is described. Under the mild CuCl/DBED/air catalytic system, various 5,10-heteroatom-containing tetrahydroindeno[2,1-a]indenes were efficiently prepared through the difunctionalizations of alkenes in a highly atom economic manner. Mechanistic investigations suggested the bicyclic product was likely formed through a sequence of rapid single-electron oxidation/[4+4] cyclization from 2,2'-disubstituted stilbene. The antarafacial manner of the thermally allowed [4+4] cyclization was further proven by series of control experiments and density functional theory calculations. Our findings provide an important addition to the aerobic copper-catalyzed oxidative cyclization.

Abstract
An efficient and atom-economical palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has been developed for the construction of highly π-conjugated benzimidazo[1,2-a]quinoline-fused isoxazole scaffolds using molecular oxygen as sole oxidant. The approach portrayed wide substrate scope with good functional group tolerance and depicted a useful tool for the generation of fluorescence active compounds with high quantum yield. Synthetic versatility of the method via Fe-catalyzed reductive isoxazole ring cleavage toward pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazole fused heteropolycyclic compounds has been showcase.

Abstract
Catechols are part of many essential chemicals and are valuable, typically nucleophilic intermediates used in synthesis. Here we describe an unexpected transformation in which they play the role of the electrophile in a formal nucleophilic aromatic substitution. We made this discovery while studying a seven-membered dioxepin ring formation during a synthesis of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline (S)-cularine. We suggest a chain mechanism for this new transformation that is triggered by molecular oxygen and that propagates an electrophilic ortho-quinone.

Abstract
Catalytic activity of copper(i) complexes supported by phenanthroline-containing catenane ligands towards a new C(sp3)–O dehydrogenative cross-coupling of phenols and bromodicarbonyls is reported. As the phenanthrolines are interlocked by the strong and flexible mechanical bond in the catenane, the active catalyst with an open copper coordination site can be revealed only transiently and the stable, coordinatively saturated Cu(i) pre-catalyst is quickly regenerated after substrate transformation. Compared with a control Cu(i) complex supported by non-interlocked phenanthrolines, the catenane-supported Cu(i) is highly efficient with a broad substrate scope, and can be applied in gram-scale transformations without a significant loss of the catalytic activity. This work demonstrates the advantages of the catenane ligands that provide a dynamic and responsive copper coordination sphere, highlighting the potential of the mechanical bond as a design element in transition metal catalyst development. The use of a catenane-supported copper(i) complex for the cross dehydrogenative C–O coupling of phenols and bromodicarbonyls is described.![]()

Abstract
The synthesis of versatile scaffold indolopyrans based on C-C radical-radical cross-coupling under metal-free conditions is described. The reaction involving single electron transfer between coupling partners followed by cage collapse allows highly selective cross-coupling while employing only equimolar amounts of coupling partners. Moreover, the mechanistic manifold was expanded for the functionalization of enamines to give the stereoselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofurans. This iodine-mediated oxidative coupling features mild conditions and fast reaction kinetics.

Abstract
A facile method to oxidatively trimerize phenols using a catalytic aerobic copper system is described. The mechanism of this transformation was probed, yielding insight that enabled cross-coupling trimerizations. With this method, the natural product pyrolaside B was synthesized for the first time. The key strategy used for this novel synthesis is the facile one-step construction of a spiroketal trimer intermediate, which can be selectively reduced to give the natural product framework without recourse to stepwise Ullmann- and Suzuki-type couplings. As a result, pyrolaside B can be obtained expeditiously in five steps and 16 % overall yield. Three other analogues were synthesized, thus highlighting the utility of the method, which provides new accessibility to this area of chemical space. A novel xanthene was also synthesized through controlled Lewis acid promoted rearrangement of a spiroketal trimer.

Abstract
An efficient cobalt-catalyzed C-H acetoxylation of phenols has been developed by using PIDA (phenyliodine diacetate) as a sole acetoxy source to synthesize pyrocatechol derivatives for the first time. The key feature of this method is the use of earth-abundant metal cobalt as the green and inexpensive catalyst for the acetoxylation of C(sp2)-H bonds under neutral reaction conditions. Furthermore, the gram-scale reaction and late-stage functionalization demonstrated the usefulness of this method.

Abstract
The cross-coupling of N,N-dialkyl aniline and aminonaphthalenes with phenols and naphthols using a Cr-salen catalyst under aerobic conditions was developed. Notably, air serves as an effective oxidant affording products in high selectivity. Initial mechanistic studies suggest an outer-sphere oxidation of the aniline/aminonaphthalene partner, followed by nucleophilic attack of the phenol/naphthol. Single products were observed in most cases, whereas mixtures of C-C and C-O coupled products arose from reactions involving aminonapthalene and sterically unencumbered phenols.

Abstract
We describe a concise synthesis of the pseudodimeric tetrahydroisoqunoline alkaloid (S,S)-tetramethylmagnolamine by a catalytic aerobic desymmetrization of phenols. Desymmetrization reactions increase molecular complexity with high levels of efficiency, but those that do so by aerobic oxidation are uncommon. Our conditions employ molecular oxygen as an oxygen atom transfer agent and a formal acceptor of hydrogen, enabling two mechanistically distinct aromatic C-H oxygenation reactions with high degrees of selectivity.

Abstract
A highly chemoselective phenol cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by a Cr-salen catalyst was developed. Kinetic studies showed that the oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(V) is the rate-determining step of the reaction. In addition, experimental stoichiometric analysis showed that a high valent Cr(V) species is the active catalyst for this process. The selectivity of the reaction was found to be determined by the cross-coupling carbon-carbon bond forming reaction, rather than any precoordination species. It appears that the lowest energy cross-coupling pathway requires a lesser degree of electronic reorganization in its transition state vs the lowest energy homocoupling pathway. This result was supported by stoichiometric Cr(V) kinetics, 13C kinetic isotope effects, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The understanding of the full landscape of this reaction allowed us to develop a general analysis to predict the regioselectivity of the cross-coupling reaction.
