An efficient visible light-promoted C(sp3)–H functionalization of alkyl arylacetates has been developed using CS2 and amines by eosin Y/I2 dual catalysis to achieve the formation of S-benzyl dithiocarbamate acetates.
Unsymmetrical ketones have been efficiently synthesized adopting a new strategy via cross-coupling of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and aryldiazonium salts under dual photoredox/metal catalysis.
We developed a visible-light-induced three-component alkylation of 1,3,4-oxadiazoles via 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer. This method features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and good functional group compatibility.
An efficient and mild method for the synthesis of alkynylsulfones and alkenylsulfones by photocatalysis is described. Some of the alkynylsulfones exhibited excellent in vitro antioxidant activity by activating the Nrf2/ARE pathway, up to 8 fold.
An efficient way to access diverse cis-cyclopentane-1,2-diamines was developed based on organophotoredox-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions between cyclopropylamines and N-vinylphthalimides.
