Abstract
An efficient and practical tandem reaction of 4-arylidene isoxazol-5-ones with enamino esters catalyzed by an inexpensive copper salt has been established in a ball mill. This innovative approach yields a diverse array of structurally novel pyrrole-2-carboxylic acids, showing excellent tolerance toward different functional groups. By integrating spiroannulation and ring-opening aromatization processes, this protocol introduces a facile and cost-effective strategy for synthesizing highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives.

Abstract
Alcohol is ubiquitous with unparalleled structural diversity and thus has wide applications as a native functional group in organic synthesis. It is highly prevalent among biomolecules and offers promising opportunities for the development of chemical libraries. Over the last decade, alcohol has been extensively used as an environmentally friendly chemical for numerous organic transformations. In this review, we collectively discuss the utilisation of alcohol from 2015 to 2023 in various organic transformations and their application toward intermediates of drugs, drug derivatives and natural product-like molecules. Notable features discussed are as follows: (i) sustainable approaches for C-X alkylation (X = C, N, or O) including O-phosphorylation of alcohols, (ii) newer strategies using methanol as a methylating reagent, (iii) allylation of alkenes and alkynes including allylic trifluoromethylations, (iv) alkenylation of N-heterocycles, ketones, sulfones, and ylides towards the synthesis of drug-like molecules, (v) cyclisation and annulation to pharmaceutically active molecules, and (vi) coupling of alcohols with aryl halides or triflates, aryl cyanide and olefins to access drug-like molecules. We summarise the synthesis of over 100 drugs via several approaches, where alcohol was used as one of the potential coupling partners. Additionally, a library of molecules consisting over 60 fatty acids or steroid motifs is documented for late-stage functionalisation including the challenges and opportunities for harnessing alcohols as renewable resources.

Abstract
We demonstrate an efficient and sustainable strategy for the direct synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines by arene Ru(II)benzhydrazone complex via the eco-friendly sequential acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of 2-aminobenzhydrol derivatives and benzyl alcohols for the first time. The new ruthenium(II) complex of the general formula [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(L1)Cl] (L1-acenaphthenequinone hydrazone) has been synthesized and characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. A broad spectrum of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines have been successfully derived (25 examples) from 2-aminobenzhydrol derivatives with various benzyl alcohols using 1 mol % of catalyst loading in the presence of NH4OAc. The present protocol is highly selective and produces a maximum yield of 95% under mild reaction conditions. The different reaction intermediates detected through control experiments such as aldehyde, 2-aminobenzophenone, benzylidene(amino)phenylmethanone, and 1,2-dihydroquinazoline are isolated and authenticated by the NMR study. Gratifyingly, the coupling reaction is a simple and atom economic with the release of water and hydrogen gas as the only byproducts. A gram-scale synthesis of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenylquinazoline illustrates the synthetic utility of the present protocol.

Abstract
Despite the widespread applications of α-hydroxyalkyl cyclic amines, direct and diverse access to such a class of unique vicinal amino alcohols still remains, to date, a challenge. Here, through a strategy of electroreductive α-hydroxyalkylation of inactive N-heteroarenes with ketones or electron-rich arylaldehydes, we describe a room temperature approach for the direct construction of α-hydroxyalkyl cyclic amines, which features a broad substrate scope, operational simplicity, high chemoselectivity, and no need for pressurized H2 gas and transition metal catalysts. The zinc ion generated from anode oxidation plays a crucial role in the activation of both reactants by decreasing their reduction potentials. The strategy of electroreduction in combination with substrate activation by Lewis acids in this work is anticipated to develop more useful transformations.

Abstract
A new metal-free synthesis of pyrrole from allyl ketone and amine has been established. The reaction proceeds via an thiolative activation of the C-C double bond with dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, followed by a nucleophilic ring-opening addition of primary amine to the generated episulfonium intermediate, and then an internal condensation and aromatization. This mild procedure provides a novel strategy to the construction of substituted pyrroles through a formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition reaction.

Abstract
A one-pot copper-catalyzed [4 + 1] annulation reaction of primary amines with ynamide-derived buta-1,3-diynes for the synthesis of 2,5-diamido bearing N-aryl/alkyl pyrroles in up to excellent yields has been showcased. A broad range of primary amines having highly reactive functional groups are well tolerated. Notably, sterically demanding aniline and primary aliphatic amines are excellent amine sources. Furthermore, the current protocol may yield structurally unique diazepine derivatives. The scale-up reaction and fruitful chemical elaboration of pyrrole motifs highlight the importance of this reaction.
