An efficient synthesis of imides using metal-free photoredox-catalyzed direct α-oxygenation of ,'-disubstituted anilines in the presence of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium [Acr-Mes]BF as a photoredox catalyst and molecular oxygen as a green oxidant under visible light was developed. This photochemical approach offered operational simplicity, high atom economy with a low E-factor, and functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions. Control and quenching experiments confirmed the occurrence of a radical pathway and superoxide radical anion α-oxygenation reactions, and also provided strong evidence for the reductive quenching of [Acr-Mes]BF based on a Stern-Volmer plot, which led to the proposed mechanism of this reaction.

The installation of -difluoromethylene groups into two adjacent aryl groups is a formidable synthetic challenge despite their attractive structural, physical, and biochemical properties. Herein, we disclose a photoredox-catalyzed selective defluoroarylation of heteroarenes through inert C(sp)-F and C(sp)-H selective cleavage, which provides a straightforward route to access medicinally relevant aryl-heteroaryl or heteroaryl-heteroaryl difluoromethane scaffolds. Salient features of this reaction include readily accessible starting materials, metal-free conditions, and broad substrate scope.

Photoredox-catalyzed phosphonylation of bromo-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines under visible light irradiation was studied. The reaction was shown to proceed under mild conditions with Eosin Y as a photocatalyst in DMSO under blue light irradiation. It is transition-metal-free and affords the target phosphonate-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines in moderate yields (26-51%) in 22 to 40 h.

In this study, we present a groundbreaking approach utilizing metal-free, visible light-mediated organic photoredox catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP) to synthesize cellulose-based stimuli-responsive polymers. Our method resulted in the successful synthesis of innovative metal-free poly(N-tertiary-butylacrylamide)-graft-hydroxypropyl cellulose (PNTBAM-g-HPC) polymers with exceptional control over molecular weight and narrow dispersity index (Đ) and explored their applications in organo-photocatalytic reactions. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional atom transfer radical polymerization method, which suffer from metal contamination and toxicity related problems.
