Investigation of Straightforward, Photoinduced Alkylations of Electron‐Rich Heterocompounds with Electron‐Deficient Alkyl Bromides in the Sole Presence of 2,6‐Lutidine
photosensitizer: We introduce a method for selective photoinduced alkylations of electron‐rich heterocompounds with electron‐deficient allylbromides in the presence of 2,6‐lutidine at 365 or 405 nm. Mechanistic investigations reveal that a colored intermediate formed from 2,6‐lutidine and alkyl bromide is involved in the photoactivation. Our approach uses commercially available reagents and a straightforward
C–H functionalization of indoles. The reaction affords 2,3-difunctionalized indoles in up to 84% yield, but the reaction rate depends strongly on electronicsubstituenteffects. Mechanistic DFT studies and control experiments suggest that the secondary functionalization occurs through an independent photocatalytic oxidation of bromide ions formed during the reaction to generate molecular bromine capable

The protocol can be used in classical xanthate-based inter- and intra-molecular group transfer reactions and oxidative radical addition to several heteroaromatic systems. The process does not require high temperature and reactions are cleaner compared with the traditional peroxide initiation. In the oxidative addition to aromatic systems, the oxidation process is part of the catalytic cycle and does

The dehalogenation-arylation and the hydro-dehalogenation of various types of organic halides are selectively realized using AgF and visible light without any organic additives under mild conditions. Single-atom silver(0) (denoted as SAAg) serves as the catalytically active center, and the TOF of SAAg reaches 6000 h(-1). This elusive activity of Ag is beyond that expected from its ionic, nano, or bulk forms.
