MoO3/SiO2 catalyst showed a better activity and selectivity in 1,3-dioxolane synthesis compared to the other catalysts. MoO3/SiO2 catalyst system was further successfully applied for the synthesis of 1,3-dioxanes in the Prins cyclization of olefins and formaldehyde. The proposed catalyst was thermally stable and could be recovered and reused at least in four consecutive cycles with no significant loss in the substrates conversions and products selectivities.

	A (3+2) cycloaddition between unbiased alkenes and 1,3-dicarbonyls is accomplished by judicious choice of electrode material and electrocatalyst to access dihydrofuran derivatives. A fluorinated porous carbon electrode with appropriate thickness governs unprecedented reactivity. This methodology eliminates the necessity for any stabilizing group within the alkene substrate. This is a rare example of the annulation of unbiased internal and terminal alkenes with cyclic and acyclic beta-dicarbonyls.</p>
