Terarylene frameworks containing benzothiazole as a photoprecursor of hydride donors are presented. We here report on two new scaffolds along with their photo-reactivity in solution. Through use of selected external oxidants, the photogeneration of hydride donors is monitored using UV-visible, NMR, and TEM methods. As a proof-of-concept, photogeneration of hydride in the presence of Ag+ gave rise to the formation of Ag nanoparticles.
decarbonylative C−H coupling of azoles and aromaticesters by palladium catalysis is described. Our previously reported Ni‐catalyzed C−H coupling of azoles and aromaticesters has a significant drawback regarding the substrate scope. Herein, we employ palladium catalysis instead of nickel, resulting in a broader substrate scope in terms of azoles and aromaticesters.
