TL;DR: A smart H-phosphonate-mediated synthetic strategy for the sulfonylation of heteroaromatic N-oxides has been developed, by which a large variety of 2-sulfonyl quinolines/pyridines were synthesized starting from easily available sulfonyl chlorides, diisopropyl H- phosphonate and pyridine/quinoline N- oxides in one pot under metal-free conditions at room temperature.

TL;DR: This one-pot protocol could well be expanded to access various 2-fluoroalkylbenzoselenazoles starting from (2-isocyanophenyl)(methyl)selane, perfluoroALKyl iodides or ICF2COOEt and TMEDA.

TL;DR: A simple and efficient decarboxylative radical addition/cyclization strategy was developed, by which a wide range of benzimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline-6(5H)-ones were prepared in one-pot via reaction of functionalized 2-arylbenzoimidazoles and carboxylic acids.

TL;DR: In this article, a review focusing on the recent progress in visible-light-mediated organic transformations in water, and related mechanisms are also discussed, and the review will facilitate the understanding of visible light mediated organic transformation in water and further stimulate the advancement of more novel relevant strategies.

TL;DR: Preliminary mechanistic studies support the proposed cationic-species-induced pathway and the key features of this reaction include broad substrate scope, excellent functional-group tolerance, readily available reagents and amenability to gram-scale synthesis.
