The first -heterocyclic carbene organocatalytic three-component radical relay trifunctionalization of unactivated alkenes through the combination of remote 1,4-cyano migration and alkylacylation was reported. This protocol features mild reaction conditions, readily available materials, excellent regioselectivity, and capability of late-stage functionalization.

Developing a self-sensitized catalyst from earth-abundant elements, capable of efficient light harvesting and electron transfer, is crucial for enhancing the efficacy of CO transformation, a critical step in environmental cleanup and advancing clean energy prospects. Traditional approaches relying on external photosensitizers, comprising 4d/5d metal complexes, involve intermolecular electron transfer, and attachment of photosensitizing arms to the catalyst necessitates intramolecular electron transfer, underscoring the need for a more integrated solution. We report a new Cu(ii) complex, K[CuNDPA] (1[K(18-crown-6)]), bearing a dipyrrin amide-based trianionic tetradentate ligand, NDPA (HL), which is capable of harnessing light energy, despite having a paramagnetic Cu(ii) centre, without any external photosensitizer and photocatalytically reducing CO to CO in acetonitrile : water (19 : 1 v/v) with a TON as high as 1132, a TOF of 566 h and a selectivity of 99%.

ConspectusMolecular photoelectrocatalysis, which combines the merits of photocatalysis and organic electrosynthesis, including their green attributes and capacity to offer novel reactivity and selectivity, represents an emerging field in organic chemistry that addresses the growing demands for environmental sustainability and synthetic efficiency. This synergistic approach permits access to a wider range of redox potentials, facilitates redox transformations under gentler electrode potentials, and decreases the use of external harsh redox reagents. Despite these potential advantages, this area did not receive significant attention until 2019, when we and others reported the first examples of modern molecular photoelectrocatalysis.

A visible light-driven, intermolecular interrupted Barton reaction has been developed for radical-relay sulfonyloximation of alkenes with alkyl nitrites, using DABSO as a trapping reagent. This method overcomes the challenges of competing normal Barton reactions and polarity mismatches by rapidly and irreversibly capturing alkyl radicals, preventing unwanted side reactions. The resulting polarity-reversed sulfonyl radicals undergo highly selective addition to alkenes, yielding α-alkylsulfonyl ketoximes tethered to hydroxyl or ketone groups.

A method was found to construct sulfur-containing five- and six-membered heterocyclic alkyl sulfonyl compounds by using visible light and free radicals activated and/or generated by EDA complexes/homolytic cleavage as initiators to stimulate the relay reaction of alkynes/alkynones. This method puts forward a new strategy to initiate alkyl sulfonation of alkynes/alkynones with only a catalytic amount of the initiator. This strategy of generating the initiator by EDA complex activation/homolytic cleavage provides a new idea for the following substances that must be excited.
