We describe a photocatalytic system that elicits potent photoreductant activity from conventional photocatalysts by leveraging radical anion intermediates generated <i>in situ</i>. The combination of isophthalonitrile and sodium formate promotes diverse aryl radical coupling reactions from abundant but difficult to reduce aryl chloride substrates. Mechanistic studies reveal two parallel pathways for substrate reduction both enabled by a key terminal reductant byproduct, carbon dioxide radical anion.

AbstractDevelopment of practical deuteration reactions is highly valuable for organic synthesis, analytic chemistry and pharmaceutic chemistry. Deuterodehalogenation of organic chlorides tends to be an attractive strategy but remains a challenging task. We here develop a photocatalytic system consisting of an aryl-amine photocatalyst and a disulfide co-catalyst in the presence of sodium formate as an electron and hydrogen donor. Accordingly, many aryl chlorides, alkyl chlorides, and other halides are converted to deuterated products at room temperature in air (>90 examples, up to 99% D-incorporation). The mechanistic studies reveal that the aryl amine serves as reducing photoredox catalyst to initiate cleavage of the C-Cl bond, at the same time as energy transfer catalyst to induce homolysis of the disulfide for consequent deuterium transfer process. This economic and environmentally-friendly method can be used for site-selective D-labeling of a number of bioactive molecules and direct H/D exchange of some drug molecules.

AbstractPyridine is an important structural motif that is prevalent in natural products, drugs, and materials. Methods that functionalize and derivatize pyridines have gained significant attention. Recently, a large number of transition-metal-free reactions have been developed.

Radical couplings of cyanopyridine radical anions represent a valuable technology for functionalizing pyridines, which are prevalent throughout pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Installing the cyano group, necessary for radical anion stabilization, is challenging and limits the use of this chemistry to simple cyanopyridines. We discovered that pyridyl phosphonium salts, installed regioselectively from C-H precursors, are useful alternatives to cyanopyridines in radical-radical coupling reactions, expanding the scope of this reaction manifold to complex pyridines. Methods for both alkylation and amination of pyridines mediated by photoredox catalysis are described. Additionally, we demonstrate late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals, highlighting an advantage of pyridyl phosphonium salts over cyanopyridines.

Amidation of 1'-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (Hdpf) with ethane-1,2-diamine afforded N,N'-ethylenebis[1'-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene-1-carboxamide] (1), which was isolated in free and solvated form, 1·2AcOH. Both 1 and Hdpf were further converted to their respective phosphane sulfides, 2·2AcOH and 3 that were structurally characterized. Testing of the amidophosphane ligands in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various aryl halides revealed that catalyst formed in situ from 1 and palladium(II) acetate is highly active in coupling reactions of aryl bromides whilst the corresponding aryl chlorides showed no or only poor conversions. The catalyst based on 2·2AcOH gave markedly lower yields of the coupling products.

A convenient and efficient chiral CuFe2O4@SiO2-Mn(III) Ch.salen nanocatalyst has been developed for the C-N cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides/ phenylboronic acid with N-heterocyclic compounds in water and/or DMSO under mild conditions. The catalyst could be applied for the N-arylation of a variety of nitrogen-containing heterocycles with aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides and phenylboronic acid under mild conditions. Moderate to good yields were achieved for all substrates. The structure of catalyst was characterized using various techniques including FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, TEM and TGA. The catalyst can be simply recovered and reused for several times without significant loss of activity.

AbstractA synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives through the reaction of 2-halo-N-allylanilines with K2S in DMF is developed. The trisulfur radical anion S3·–, which is generated in situ from K2S in DMF, initiates the reaction without transition-metal catalysis or other additives. In addition, two C–S bonds are formed and heteroaromatization of benzothiazole is triggered by radical cyclization and H-shift.
