Article Abstract
An organoelectrophotocatalytic approach for the C-H silylation of heteroarenes through dehydrogenation cross-coupling with H evolution has been developed. The organoelectrophotocatalytic strategy is carried out under a simple and efficient monocatalytic system by employing 9,10-phenanthrenequinone both as an organocatalyst and as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent, which avoids the need for an external HAT reagent, an oxidant, or a metal reagent. A variety of heteroarenes can be compatible in satisfactory yields with excellent regioselectivity.

Carboxylations of (Hetero)Aromatic C-H Bonds Using an Alkyl Silyl Carbonate Reagent.

In this paper, we report that the use of an alkyl silyl carbonate reagent combined with CsF and 18-crown-6 facilitates efficient direct carboxylations of (hetero)aromatic C-H bonds. This system also enables benzylic carboxylation of a toluene derivative and double carboxylation of methyl heteroarene. The carbonate reagent is characterized by its ease of handling and storage.

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) processes provide an important strategy for selective C-H functionalization. Compared with the popularity of 1,5-HAT processes, however, net-1,2-HAT reactions have been reported less frequently. Herein, we report a unique visible-light-mediated net-1,2-HAT of amidyl radicals for the synthesis of β-amido ketone derivatives.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals new methods for processing methyl groups in terpenoids, through a combination of silylation and oxidation, leading to various transformations such as substitution and integration of the methyl carbon.
- * These processes not only allow for the creation of novel chemical structures with expanded rings but also show potential applications in medicinal chemistry by adding functional groups to complex compounds.
Visible Light-Mediated [4+2] Annulation of Silylimines with Olefins to 1-Aminotetralins Enabled by Diradical Hydrogen Atom Transfer of C-H Bonds.

A facile photochemical, one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized 1-aminotetralins derivatives (>70 examples) from readily accessible o-alkyl and o-formyl aryl silylimines with olefins is described. A diradical-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (DHAT) of primary, secondary, and tertiary C(sp)-H bonds of o-alkyl arylsilylimines and C(sp)-H bonds of o-formyl arylsilylimines enabled a [4+2] annulation with olefins in excellent diastereoselectivity. This was accomplished upon irradiation at λ = 420 nm in the presence of thioxanthen-9-one (10 mol %) as the sensitizer via energy transfer.

Nickel-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization reactions provide an impressive alternative to those with noble metal catalysts due to their unique reactivity and low cost. However, the regioselective C(sp)-H borylation reaction of arenes accomplished by nickel catalyst remains limited. We herein disclose a silyl-directed ortho C(sp)-H borylation of substituted arenes with a Ni(cod)/PMe/KHMDS catalyst system.
