The cleavage of sulfidic C–S bonds under visible-light irradiation was harnessed to generate carbocations under neutral conditions and synthesize valuable di- and triarylalkanes as well as benzyl amines. To this end, photoredox catalysis and direct photoinduced C–S bondcleavage are used as complementary approaches and participate in the versatility of the general strategy.

The use of tert-butyl(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2yl) carbonate as a chemoselective tert-butoxycarbonylation reagent for aromatic and aliphatic amines has been demonstrated (30 examples).

The photocatalytic nitration of protected anilines proceeds with riboflavin tetraacetate as an organic photoredox catalyst. Sodium nitrite serves as the NO2 source in this visible-light-driven room temperature reaction. Various nitroanilines are obtained in moderate to good yields without the addition of acid or stoichiometric oxidation agents. The catalytic cycle is closed by aerial oxygen as the
para-selective C−Htrifluoromethylation of a class of arenes has not been achieved. In this study, we report a light-promoted 4,5-dichlorofluorescein (DCFS)-enabled para-selective C−Htrifluoromethylation of arylcarbamates using Langlois reagent. The preliminary mechanistic study revealed that the activated organic photocatalyst coordinated with the arylcarbamate led to para-selective C−H trifluoromethylation
