Herein, we disclose that electrochemical stimulation induces new photocatalytic activity from a range of structurally diverse conventional photocatalysts. These studies uncover a new electron-primed photoredox catalyst capable of promoting the reductive cleavage of strong C(sp2)−N and C(sp2)−O bonds. We illustrate several examples of the synthetic utility of these deeply reducing but otherwise safe

The dimethylamino (Me2N) group is arguably the most versatile functional group capable of highly efficient and site‐selective directed aromatic functionalizations at the ortho‐, meta‐, and para‐positions depending on reaction conditions. While the repertoire of Me2N‐directed reactions is growing at a rapid pace, the lack of a general method to transform this group to other functionalities hampers its
direct cross‐coupling reaction between diarylzinc (Ar2Zn) and aryltrimethylammonium salts (ArNMe3+⋅−OTf) in the presence of LiCl, via C−N bond cleavage. The reaction takes place smoothly upon heating in THF without any external catalyst, enabling an efficient and chemoselective formation of biaryl products. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through a single electrontransfer route
We have developed a simple and direct method for the synthesis of arylethers by reacting alcohols/phenols (ROH) with aryl ammonium salts (ArNMe3+), which are readily prepared fromanilines (ArNR′2, R′=H or Me). This reaction proceeds smoothly and rapidly (within a few hours) at room temperature in the presence of a commercially available base, such as KOtBu or KHMDS, and has a broad substrate scope

C–P bonds via the nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of organoammonium salts with appropriate phosphorus nucleophiles has been developed. Aryl-, pyridyl-, benzyl-, and allyl-ammonium triflates can be employed as the electrophiles. The employed phosphorus-based nucleophiles included diaryl/dibutyl phosphine oxide, dialkylphosphonates, and ethyl phenylphosphinate. Functional groups OMe, CN, CF3, F, Cl
