Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

While the backbone of organic molecules mainly consists of C–C bonds, their function is often derived from the presence of heteroatoms. Almost all natural products, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymeric materials contain carbon–heteroatom bonds, which are often introduced by synthetic chemists through small-molecule organocatalytic, transition-metal catalytic, photocatalytic, and electrocatalytic carbon–heteroatom bond formation. The resurgence of catalytic chemistry has resulted in a series of C–heteroatom bond formations that are complementary to traditional transformations.

This Special Issue aims to collect original research papers or reviews dealing with organocatalytic, transition-metal catalytic, photocatalytic, and electrocatalytic carbon–heteroatom bond formation. Manuscripts concerning fluorescent probes based on catalytic reactions are also welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Catalysts is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract

The reaction proceeded well with a broad substrate scope, providing a direct way to access highly functional pyranoquinolinone core structure derivatives in yields of up to [...] Read more.
Pyranoquinolinones synthesized from citral were used for Cu-catalyzed N-arylation with a wide range of arylboric acids. The reaction proceeded well with a broad substrate scope, providing a direct way to access highly functional pyranoquinolinone core structure derivatives in yields of up to 80%. Compared to citral, the compounds we obtained have a much better inhibitory effect on HeLa cervical cancer cells, and compound 3p has an IC50 value of 4.6 μM, lower than cisplatin’s 5.9 μM.

Abstract
A mild, efficient, photocatalytic synthesis of 6-phosphorylated phenanthridines via tandem radical addition/cyclization/aromatization of 2-isocyanobiphenyls with diarylphosphine oxides is reported. The method features operational simplicity in metal-free conditions, using low-cost Rose Bengal as a catalyst and sustainable air as a terminal oxidant at room [...] Read more.

Abstract
Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling of N-methoxy amides and arylboronic acids for the synthesis of aryl-N-methoxy arylimides. The fully selective O-arylation of the N-methoxy amides is found to be greatly prompted by the inexpensive and commercially available CuI. The reaction conditions [...] Read more.
Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed C-O cross-coupling of N-methoxy amides and arylboronic acids for the synthesis of aryl-N-methoxy arylimides. The fully selective O-arylation of the N-methoxy amides is found to be greatly prompted by the inexpensive and commercially available CuI. The reaction conditions tolerate a variety of functional groups and promote different reactivities depending on the electronic and steric properties of the distorted substrates. Full article

Acetonitrile is commonly used as an organic solvent and can also be used as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. Its widespread use has led to the development of new methods for the synthesis of a variety of important compounds. In the past decades, the conversion reactions of acetonitrile as a building block have become one of the most-attractive fields in organic synthesis. Especially in the field of electrochemical conversions involving acetonitrile, due to its good conductivity and environmentally friendly features, it has become a powerful and compelling tool to afford nitrogen-containing compounds or nitrile-containing compounds. In this review, we mainly discuss the research progress involving acetonitrile in the past five years, covering both conventional synthesis methods and electrochemical synthesis. Besides, a detailed discussion of the substrate scope and mechanistic pathways is provided. Full article
