GaN nanowires as a reusable photoredox catalyst for radical coupling of carbonyl under blacklight irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Employing photo-energy to drive the desired chemical transformation has been a long pursued subject. The development of homogeneous photoredox catalysts in radical coupling reactions has been truly phenomenal, however, with apparent disadvantages such as the difficulty in separating the catalyst and the frequent requirement of scarce noble metals. We therefore envisioned the use of a hyper-stable III-V photosensitizing semiconductor with a tunable Fermi level and energy band as a readily isolable and recyclable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for radical coupling reactions. Using the carbonyl coupling reaction as a proof-of-concept, herein, we report a photo-pinacol coupling reaction catalyzed by GaN nanowires under ambient light at room temperature with methanol as a solvent and sacrificial reagent. By simply tuning the dopant, the GaN nanowire shows significantly enhanced electronic properties. The catalyst showed excellent stability, reusability and functional tolerance. All reactions could be accomplished with a single piece of nanowire on Si-wafer.

O-Benzyl Xanthate Esters under Ni/Photoredox Dual Catalysis: Selective Radical Generation and Csp3-Csp2 Cross-Coupling.

Project description:Alkyl xanthate esters are perhaps best known for their use in deoxygenation chemistry. However, their use in cross-coupling chemistry has not been productive, which is due, in part, to inadequate xanthate activation strategies. Herein, we report the use of O-benzyl xanthate esters, readily derived from alcohols, as radical pronucleophiles in Csp3-Csp2 cross-couplings under Ni/photoredox dual catalysis. Xanthate (C-O) cleavage is found to be reliant on photogenerated (sec-butyl) radical activators to form new carbon-centered radicals primed for nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings. Mechanistic experiments support the fact that the key radical components are formed independently, and relative rates are carefully orchestrated, such that no cross reactivity is observed.

Formal enantioconvergent substitution of alkyl halides via catalytic asymmetric photoredox radical coupling.

Project description:Classic nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN1 and SN2) are not generally amenable to the enantioselective variants that use simple and racemic alkyl halide electrophiles. The merging of transition metal catalysis and radical chemistry with organometallic nucleophiles is a versatile method for addressing this limitation. Here, we report that visible light-driven catalytic asymmetric photoredox radical coupling can act as a complementary and generic strategy for the enantioconvergent formal substitution of alkyl haldies with readily available and bench-stable organic molecules. Single-electron reductive debrominations of racemic ?-bromoketones generate achiral alkyl radicals that can participate in asymmetric Csp3-Csp3 bonds forming cross-coupling reactions with ?-amino radicals derived from N-aryl amino acids. A wide range of valuable enantiomerically pure ?2- and ?2,2-amino ketones were obtained in satisfactory yields with good-to-excellent enantioselectivities by using chiral phosphoric acid catalysts to control the stereochemistry and chemoselectivity. Fluoro-hetero-quaternary and full-carbon quaternary stereocenters that are challenging to prepare were successfully constructed.

Alkyl Radical Addition to Aliphatic and Aromatic N-Acylhydrazones Using an Organic Photoredox Catalyst.

Project description:Increased versatility of intermolecular radical addition to imino acceptors via photoredox catalysis is reported. Primary and secondary radicals, generated via visible-light photocatalysis from alkyl biscatecholatosilicates with organocatalyst 4CzIPN, add successfully to both aromatic and aliphatic N-acylhydrazones in the presence of MgCl2. With N-benzoylhydrazones, a simple reductive cleavage of the N-N bond of the hydrazine adduct furnishes the free amine. Synthetic utility is exemplified in a synthetic application toward repaglinide, a clinically important hypoglycemic agent.

Potent Reductants via Electron-Primed Photoredox Catalysis: Unlocking Aryl Chlorides for Radical Coupling.

Project description:We describe a new catalytic strategy to transcend the energetic limitations of visible light by electrochemically priming a photocatalyst prior to excitation. This new catalytic system is able to productively engage aryl chlorides with reduction potentials hundreds of millivolts beyond the potential of Na0 in productive radical coupling reactions. The aryl radicals produced via this strategy can be leveraged for both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Through direct comparison, we illustrate the reactivity and selectivity advantages of this approach relative to electrolysis and photoredox catalysis.

Unified short syntheses of oxygenated tricyclic aromatic diterpenes by radical cyclization with a photoredox catalyst.

Project description:The biomimetic two-phase strategy employing polyene cyclization and subsequent oxidation/substitution is an effective approach for divergent syntheses of [6-6-6]-tricyclic diterpenes. However, this strategy requires lengthy sequences for syntheses of oxygenated tricyclic aromatic abietane/podocarpane diterpenes owing to the many linear oxidation/substitution steps after cyclization. Here, we present a new synthetic route based on a convergent reverse two-phase strategy employing a reverse radical cyclization approach, which enabled the unified short syntheses of four aromatic abietane/podocarpane diterpenes and the divergent short syntheses of other related diterpenes. Oxygenated and substituted precursors for cyclization were convergently prepared through Friedel-Crafts acylation and rhodium-catalyzed site-selective iodination. Radical redox cyclization using an iridium photoredox catalyst involving neophyl rearrangement furnished the thermodynamically favored 6-membered ring preferentially. (±)-5,6-Dehydrosugiol, salvinolone, crossogumerin A, and Δ5-nimbidiol were synthesized in only 8 steps. An oxygenated cyclized intermediate was also useful for divergent derivatization to sugiol, ferruginol, saprorthoquinone, cryptomeriololide, and salvinolone.

Synthesis of aryl sulfides via radical-radical cross coupling of electron-rich arenes using visible light photoredox catalysis.

Project description:Electron-rich arenes react with aryl and alkyl disulfides in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbpy)]PF6 and (NH4)2S2O8 under blue light irradiation to yield arylthiols. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and avoids the use of prefunctionalized arenes. Experimental evidence suggests a radical-radical cross coupling mechanism.

Microwave-Assisted Dehydrogenative Cross Coupling Reactions in γ-valerolactone with a Reusable Pd/β-cyclodextrin Crosslinked Catalyst.

Project description:Transition-metal mediated C⁻H bond activation and functionalization is one of the most straightforward and powerful tools in modern organic synthetic chemistry. Oxidative C⁻H/C⁻H coupling reactions between two (hetero)arenes under heterogeneous catalysis may be a valuable means for the production of a plethora of bi(hetero)aryls, and one that adheres to the increasing demand for atom-economic and sustainable chemistry. We have therefore developed a reusable heterogeneous catalytic system, which is based on Pd cross-linked β-cyclodextrin, to perform an efficient microwave-assisted oxidative C⁻H/C⁻H cross coupling process between benzothiazoles and methyl thiophene in the presence of green solvents.

Robustly photogenerating H2 in water using FeP/CdS catalyst under solar irradiation.

Project description:Photosplitting water for H2 production is a promising, sustainable approach for solar-to-chemical energy conversion. However, developing low-cost, high efficient and stable photocatalysts remains the major challenge. Here we report a composite photocatalyst consisting of FeP nanoparticles and CdS nanocrystals (FeP/CdS) for photogenerating H2 in aqueous lactic acid solution under visible light irradiation. Experimental results demonstrate that the photocatalyst is highly active with a H2-evolution rate of 202000??mol h(-1) g(-1) for the first 5?h (106000??mol h(-1) g(-1) under natural solar irradiation), which is the best H2 evolution activity, even 3-fold higher than the control in situ photo-deposited Pt/CdS system, and the corresponding to an apparent quantum efficiency of over 35% at 520?nm. More important, we found that the system exhibited excellent stability and remained effective after more than 100 h in optimal conditions under visible light irradiation. A wide-ranging analysis verified that FeP effectively separates the photoexcited charge from CdS and showed that the dual active sites in FeP enhance the activity of FeP/CdS photocatalysts.
