On the behalf of green and sustainable chemistry, molecular oxygen has been considered as an ideal oxidant and offers attractive academic and industrial prospects. Recently, we developed some direct dehydrogenative transformations using O2 as the oxidant including the Direct-Dehydrogenative Anulation (DDA) reactions for the synthesis of heterocyclics (Figure 1). Using inexpensive iron, copper or organocatalyst as the catalysts, some approaches to the amides, ketones, diynes, ynamides and azo compounds could be highly efficiently synthesized using O2as oxidant and reactant. In this seminar, I would like to introduce some cases on the aerobic oxygenations via dioxygen activation (Figure 1)..
