Photocatalytic Dehydrogenative C(sp2)–P Coupling Reaction Between Dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepanes and Phosphine Oxides Visible-light-induced cross-dehydrogenative coupling between heptameric cyclic imine derivatives and di-aryl phosphine oxides has been developed and heptameric cyclic imine phosphate derivatives have been synthesized by using rhodamine B as a photocatalyst.

A simple, efficient and environmentally friendly method is proposed for the synthesis of a series of structurally diverse phosphine-glycine derivatives by direct irradiation of glycine derivatives and diarylphosphine oxides with blue visible light at room temperature using only air (oxygen) as an oxidant. A possible mechanism was also proposed in conjunction with controlled experiments.

Electrochemical Decarboxylative Alkylation of β-Keto Acids with Phenol Derivatives An electrochemical method for the decarboxylative alkylation of β-keto acids with phenol derivatives has been developed. The protocol was carried out in readily available unseparated cells at room temperature in the absence of catalysts and oxidants. The corresponding aryl ketones were obtained in satisfied yields without additional electrolytes, and being easy to perform in gram-scale synthesis.
