A mild and inexpensive method for direct hydrodecarboxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids has been developed. The reaction does not require metals, light, or catalysts, rendering the protocol operationally simple, easy to scale, and more sustainable. Crucially, no additional H atom source is required in most cases, while a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance are observed.

Paragraph 0023-0024, (2021/01/25)
The invention provides a synthesis method of aryl tertiary sulfonamide compounds promoted by visible light. In a non-protonic solvent, N-benzyl tertiary amine and arylsulfonyl chloride are used as rawmaterials, under the conditions of photosensitizer catalysis and illumination, a reaction is carried out for 1-4h at room temperature, and then separation and purification are carried out to obtain the product. The synthesis method of the aryl tertiary sulfonamide compound provided by the invention has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simplicity and convenience in operation, short reaction time, no need of any transition metal catalysis and environmental friendliness.

We report herein a modular class of organic catalysts that, acting as donors, can readily form photoactive electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes with a variety of radical precursors. Excitation with visible light generates open-shell intermediates under mild conditions, including nonstabilized carbon radicals and nitrogen-centered radicals. The modular nature of the commercially available xanthogenate and dithiocarbamate anion organocatalysts offers a versatile EDA complex catalytic platform for developing mechanistically distinct radical reactions, encompassing redox-neutral and net-reductive processes. Mechanistic investigations, by means of quantum yield determination, established that a closed catalytic cycle is operational for all of the developed radical processes, highlighting the ability of the organic catalysts to turn over and iteratively drive every catalytic cycle. We also demonstrate how the catalysts' stability and the method's high functional group tolerance could be advantageous for the direct radical functionalization of abundant functional groups, including aliphatic carboxylic acids and amines, and for applications in the late-stage elaboration of biorelevant compounds and enantioselective radical catalysis.
