	abstract = {<p>Ammonium persulfate-dimethyl sulfoxide (APS-DMSO) has been developed as an efficient and new dehydrating reagent for a convenient one-pot process for the synthesis of miscellaneous cyclic imides in high yields starting from readily available primary amines and cyclic anhydrides. A plausible radical mechanism involving DMSO has been proposed. The application of this facile one-pot imide forming process has been demonstrated for a practical synthesis of vernakalant.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Ru-catalyzed regioselective cascade annulation of acrylamides with 2-alkynoates via aza-Michael/C-H activation sequence for the synthesis of various 6-oxo nicotinic acid esters is described. The regioselectivity of the protocol has been confirmed by performing silver mediated protodecarboxylation of the corresponding 6-oxo nicotinic acid to furnish 2-pyridone. The developed protocol is copper or silver salt-free and uses inexpensive, safe, and environmentally benign peroxide-based {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}oxone{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} as the sole oxidant. A redox-neutral version of the protocol is also demonstrated.</p>
