Described is a visible light-promoted three-component tandem annulation of amines, aryl/alkyl isothiocyanates, and α-bromoesters to form 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones in the absence of metal and photocatalyst at room temperature. This [1 + 2 + 2] cyclization strategy involves visible light-promoted C-S/C-N bond formation and features a powerful approach to the synthesis of 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones with broad substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, step-economy, and simple operation, which also has potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry. UV-vis spectroscopy indicates that an in situ-generated H-bonding electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex probably acts as the photocatalyst, facilitating the reaction process.

Nitroarenes are readily accessible bulk chemicals and can serve as versatile starting materials for a series of synthetic reactions. However, due to the inertness of the C-NO bond, the direct denitrative substitution reaction with unactivated nitroarenes remains challenging. Chemists rely on sequential reduction and diazotization followed by the Sandmeyer reaction or the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of activated nitroarenes to realize nitro group transformations.

A visible-light-promoted azidation/arylation of unactivated alkenes with Togni-N has been achieved, leading to a series of azidated pyrrolo[1,2-]indoles under photocatalyst-free conditions. Notably, an EDA complex derived from the electron-rich indole derivatives and Togni-N served as the key intermediate in this reaction.

Photochemistry plays a significant role in the atmospheric aging processes of soot. However, the physicochemical properties and changes in environmental and health effects of soot particles from sacrificial sources after photochemical aging remain unclear. The reaction mechanisms of soot under different irradiation wavelengths require further investigation.

The introduction of multiple trifluoromethyl (CF) groups into aromatic compounds remains a significant challenge in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report an unprecedented visible light-promoted multiple trifluoromethylation of phenols using commercially available CFI. The key to success lies in our discovery of a "continuous activation strategy" that enables sequential trifluoromethylations through single-electron transfer from photoexcited phenoxide to CFI until all or positions are occupied.

We report, for the first time, a visible-light-promoted Markovnikov hydroalkoxylation of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes with 1,2-diketones. This transformation proceeded smoothly in the presence of a tertiary amine (EtN), providing a series of enol ethers containing the trifluoromethylated tetrasubstituted center in moderate to excellent yields. In this protocol, hydrogen atom transfer between this amine and 1,2-diketone substrate affords a ketyl radical and an α-aminoalkyl radical, which engages in the formation of a radical anion of the α-CF alkene via a single electron transfer.
