This review focuses on advances in photo- and electrochemically mediated C–O bond-forming reactions between non-prefunctionalized carboxylic acids and various intermolecular carbon-based partners, encompassing studies published from 2010 to 2025.
Selective depolymerization of PET into targeted xylene monomers was achieved through Ru/TiO2-mediated oil–water interfacial chemistry.
A highly efficient and scalable total synthesis of pesimquinolone I (1) was accomplished in 5 steps with 3 chromatographic purifications.
The imidazolyl nitrogen atom in 3 enhances the π-back bonding of fla− with Cu(II) and increases the reactivity of flavonol towards dioxygen.
A new series of nickel(II)–flavonolate adducts of piperidine-appended TPA-derivatives were isolated and investigated as functional models for the Ni(II)-containing 2,4-QDO enzyme.
