Visible-Light-Driven One-Pot Synthesis of Benzimidazoles,Benzothiazoles, and Quinazolinones Catalyzed by Scalable and Reusable Ba-Doped CoMoO4 Nanoparticles Under Air Atmosphere

Herein we report a simple and efficient oxidative coupling of various aryl methyl amines with diverse coupling partners, such as o-phenylenediamine (benzene-1,2-diamine), 2-aminobenzenethiol and 2-aminobenzamide, to synthesize the corresponding heterocycles using scalable and reusable heterogeneous catalysts under visible light irradiation. A systematic investigation led to the synthesis of benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles and quinazolinones under air atmosphere in very good to excellent yields. The strategy is atom economical and found to be tolerance towards different functional groups, and wide range of substrate scope. Furthermore, the methodology was demonstrated for its suitability on scale up and reusability. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the analysis of band structures of pristine and Ba doped CoMoO₄ systems showed that the doping of Ba in place of Co improved the catalytic performance of the system.     

Visible-Light-Assisted Gold-Catalyzed Fluoroarylation of Allenoates

A strategically novel synthetic method for the fluoroarylation of allenic ester was developed that enables the expedient construction of a host of β-fluoroalkyl-containing cinnamate derivatives. The reaction proceeds through visible-light-promoted gold redox catalysis, occurs smoothly under very mild reaction conditions, accommodates a large variety of functional groups, and more importantly allows the incorporation of fluorine and aryl groups with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. The concomitant activation mode for both the allene motif and the hydrogen fluoride is key for the success of the reaction.     

Controlling Selectivity in Plasmonic Catalysis: Switching Reaction Pathway from Hydrogenation to Homocoupling Under Visible-Light Irradiation

Plasmonic catalysis enables the use of light to accelerate molecular transformations. Its application to the control reaction selectivity is highly attractive but remains challenging. Here, we have found that the plasmonic properties in AgPd nanoparticles allowed different reaction pathways for tunable product formation under visible-light irradiation. By employing the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene as a model transformation, we demonstrate that visible-light irradiation can be employed to steer the reaction pathway from hydrogenation to homocoupling. Our data showed that the decrease in the concentration of H species at the surface due to plasmon-enhanced H₂ desorption led to the control in selectivity. These results provide important insights into the understanding of reaction selectivity with light, paving the way for the application of plasmonic catalysis to the synthesis of 1,3-diynes, and bringing the vision of light-driven transformations with target selectivity one step closer to reality.

Trinuclear Gold-Catalyzed 1,2-Difunctionalization of Alkenes

Activated alkyl halides have been extensively explored to generate alkyl radicals with Ru- and Ir- photocatalysts for 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes, but unactivated alkyl bromides remain challenging substrates due to their strong reduction potential. Here we report a three-component 1,2-difunctionalization reaction of alkenes, unactivated alkyl bromides and nucleophiles (e.g., amines and indoles) using a trinuclear gold catalyst [Au₃(tppm)₂](OTf)₃. It can achieve the 1,2-aminoalkylation and 1,2-alkylarylation readily. This protocol has a broad reaction scope and excellent functional group compatibility (>100 examples with up to 96 % yield). It also affords a robust formal [2+2+1] cyclization strategy for the concise construction of pyrrolidine skeletons under mild reaction conditions. Mechanistic studies support an inner-sphere single electron transfer pathway for the successful cleavage of inert C−Br bonds.

Sequence-Controlled Catalytic One-Pot Synthesis of Siloxane Oligomers

Silicones are highly valuable poly- and oligomeric materials with a broad range of applications due to their outstanding physicochemical properties. The core framework of silicone materials consists of siloxane (Si−O−Si) bonds, and thus, the development of efficient siloxane-bond-forming reactions has attracted much attention. However, these reactions, especially “catalytic” siloxane-bond-forming reactions that enable the selective formation of unsymmetrical siloxane bonds, remain relatively underdeveloped. On the other hand, controlled iteration has become a powerful tool for the sequence-controlled synthesis of poly- and oligomeric compounds. Recently, control over the siloxane sequence has been achieved by the one-pot iteration of a B(C₆F₅)₃-catalyzed dehydrocarbonative cross-coupling of alkoxysilanes with hydrosilanes and a B(C₆F₅)₃-catalyzed hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds. Thus, it is now possible to generate linear, branched, and cyclic sequence-specific oligosiloxanes in a highly selective manner under chloride-free conditions.
