Discussion of the recent reports on dual metallo-photocatalytic strategies using graphitic carbon nitride materials in organic syntheses.

N-Iodosuccinimide catalyzed, visible-light-induced oxidative decarboxylative cross-coupling between cinnamic acids and NH-sulfoximines leading to α-keto-N-acyl sulfoximines is presented.

The isocyanate group in aryl isocyanates serves as a transformable transient directing group in a Ru(II)-catalyzed

An inimitable illustration of a green-light-induced, regioselective difunctionalization of terminal alkynes has been disclosed using sodium arylsulfinates and carboxylic acids in the presence of eosin Y as the photocatalyst. The present methodology is further demonstrated by employing NH4SCN as an S-centered nucleophile instead of carboxylic acid. The mechanistic investigation reveals a radical-induced iodosulfonylation followed by a base-mediated nucleophilic substitution. The mechanism is supported by various studies, viz., radical-trapping experiment, fluorescence quenching, and CV studies. In this protocol, (Z)-β-substituted vinylsulfones are obtained, exclusively covering a broad range of alkynes and nucleophiles, which are often unaddressed. The present strategy can tolerate structurally discrete substrates with steric bulk and different electronic properties, which provides a straightforward and practical pathway for the synthesis of highly functionalized (Z)-β-substituted vinylsulfones. Herein, C-O and C-S bonds are assembled simultaneously with the concomitant introduction of important functional groups, viz., ester, thiocyanate, and sulfone.

The Jinam River habitats inventory revealed the presence of alluvial valley, cascades, riffle-pools, boulders, cobbles, and gravel as types of substrata. The limnological parameters portrayed average values of air and water temperature, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, free carbon di-oxide, total alkalinity, and conductivity. This recent pioneering study on the fish of the Jinam River in the Dima Hasao District of Assam revealed the presence of 18 species belonging to 15 genera, five families, and three orders, which are reported for the first time through this paper. Worth highlighting is the abundance of Barilius bendelisis and Devario aequipinnatus, and the fewer numbers of Chanda nama, these warranting proper management and conservation of the fish for this river.

Hypervalent iodine (HVI) chemistry is a rapidly growing subdomain of contemporary organic chemistry because of its enormous synthetic applications. The high nucleofugality of the phenyliodonio group (-I
