TL;DR: 4-(Dimethylamino)pyridine functioned as an excellent catalyst for iodolactonisation reactions of γ,δ-unsaturated carboxylic acids, affording γ-lactones, δ-lactic acids, or both under neutral conditions at room temperature.

TL;DR: This method has mild conditions and a wide range of substrates which is particularly useful for the preparation of substituted indolquinazoline derivatives that widely exist in many natural products, but are not easy to obtain by conventional approaches.

TL;DR: This is the first report of the use of N-phenyl amidoxime esters as amidinyl radical precursors, and the first use of substituted benzene rings asAmidinyl radical acceptors, to overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional methods for synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles.

TL;DR: Two series of 2-phenylpyrroles synthesized by a novel trifluoromethyl transformation indicated that 6a-6c had moderate larvicidal activity against oriental armyworm and 6b also had good acaricidal activity, so 3-bromo-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-cyanopyrrole-2-carboxylate derivatives were expected to become lead compounds for new pesticides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a protocol for electrochemical cathode reduction to generate trifluoromethyl radicals, which can be conducted efficiently without the addition of additional redox reagents.
