Herein, we report the de novo synthesis and characterization of a series of substituted bithiophene derivatives as novel and inexpensive organic photocatalysts. DFT calculations were used to predict a priori their absorption spectra and redox potentials, which were then confirmed with empirical data. The photocatalytic activity of this novel class of organic photoredox catalyst was demonstrated in two visible-light mediated strategies for the C?H functionalization of heteroarenes. The implementation of these strategies in a continuous-flow photo-microreactor afforded moderate to excellent yields within few minutes of reaction time. Due to their straightforward synthesis, low cost and good photocatalytic properties we believe that the proposed bithiophene derivatives could be employed as a new class of organic photoredox catalysts.

Nitriles were found to be highly effective alkylating reagents for the selective N-alkylation of amines under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. For the aromatic primary amines, the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained under Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. Although the use of electron poor aromatic amines or bulky nitriles showed a lower reactivity toward the reductive alkylation, the addition of NH4OAc enhanced the reactivity to give secondary aromatic amines in good to excellent yields. Under the same reaction conditions, aromatic nitro compounds instead of the aromatic primary amines could be directly transformed into secondary amines via a domino reaction involving the one-pot hydrogenation of the nitro group and the reductive alkylation of the amines. While aliphatic amines were effectively converted to the corresponding tertiary amines under Pd/C-catalyzed conditions, Rh/C was a highly effective catalyst for the N-monoalkylation of aliphatic primary amines without over-alkylation to the tertiary amines. Furthermore, the combination of the Rh/C-catalyzed N-monoalkylation of the aliphatic primary amines and additional Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of the resulting secondary aliphatic amines could selectively prepare aliphatic tertiary amines possessing three different alkyl groups. According to the mechanistic studies, it seems reasonable to conclude that nitriles were reduced to aldimines before the nucleophilic attack of the amine during the first step of the reaction.
Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl bromides utilizing arene-chromium complexes as ligands

The arene - chromium complexes of o-diphenylphosphino α- phenylethylamine or α-phenylethyl methyl ether derivatives were examined with regard to their activity as ligands for palladium(0)-catalyzed aryl amination of aryl bromides with a variety of amines. Both steric and electronic factors were found to be significant for the efficient palladium- catalyzed aryl amination reactions. Modulation of the inductive capacity of the arylphosphine atom was achieved by photoinduced ligand exchange of one carbonyl of the chromium tripode in the presence of electron-donating triphenylphosphine or phosphite. Among these arene - chromium ligands, the use of the monophosphineor monophosphite-(dicarbonyl)chromium of N,N- dimethyl α-(o-diphenylphosphino)phenylethylamine and methyl α-(o- diphenylphosphino)phenylethyl ether produced the palladium(0)-catalyzed aryl amination products with cyclic amines or acyclic secondary amines in high yields; the corresponding strong electron-withdrawing tricarbonylchromium complex resulted in a modest yield of the aryl amination.
