A visible-light-induced deboronative alkylarylation of acrylamides with organoboronic acids was developed. In this transformation, boronic acids could be activated by the organic photocatalyst of eosin Y, generating alky free radicals in high efficiency. A broad range of substrate scope was examined and a number of 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles were synthesized in high yields.

Herein, we report a divergent synthesis of fluoroalkyl ketones through visible-light-induced reactions between readily available organoboronic esters and fluoroalkyl acylsilanes. Selective control of the reactivity of the generated organoboronate complexes is the key to achieving divergent transformations. Under basic conditions, the organoboronate complexes undergo deboronative fluoride elimination, resulting in the formation of enol silyl ethers as intermediates that react with various electrophiles to generate defluorinated ketones as the products.

Visible-light-induced decarboxylative and deboronative reactions using two-molecule organic photoredox catalysts, namely, phenanthrene (Phen) and biphenyl (BP), as electron donors and 9-cyano-10-methoxycarbonylanthracene as an electron acceptor were achieved. The high solubility of significantly improved the reaction efficiency and product yield. In addition, the facile tuning of the oxidation potential of the electron-donor molecule via the replacement of Phen with BP enabled the application of the two-molecule photoredox system to a wide range of substrates.

Chemoselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) coupling reactions under mild reaction conditions are useful for synthesizing alkyl-substituted alkenes having sensitive functional groups. Reported here is a visible-light-induced chemoselective alkenylation through a deboronation/decarboxylation sequence under neutral aqueous reaction conditions at room temperature. This reaction represents the first hypervalent-iodine-enabled radical decarboxylative alkenylation reaction, and a novel benziodoxole-vinyl carboxylic acid reaction intermediate was isolated.

Here, we report a visible-light-induced deboronative alkynylation reaction, which is redox-neutral and works with primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl trifluoroborates or boronic acids to generate aryl, alkyl and silyl substituted alkynes. This reaction is highly chemoselective and performs well on substrates containing alkenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, esters, nitriles, azides, aryl halides, alkyl halides, alcohols, and indoles, with no detectable occurrence of side reactions. The mechanism of this novel C(sp(3))-C(sp) bond coupling reaction was investigated by luminescence quenching, radical trapping, on-off light, and (13)C-isotopic-labeling experiments.
