Direct photocatalytic C–H functionalization mediated by a molybdenum dioxo complex

Abstract

Direct photocatalytic C–H activation mediated by MoO2Cl2(bpy-tBu), a unique photoactive metal OXO, is presented. The limiting step, reoxidation to the Mo dioxo, is evaluated and proposed to occur via a key Cl loss event. Photocatalyst degradation occurs upon substitution of bpy-tBu with H2O generated during catalysis.
