The photoredox chloroacylation of alkenes has been developed as a substitute for the Friedel-Crafts acylation of alkenes to β-chloroketones. The direct generation of acyl radical species from acid chlorides under the photoredox conditions allows the formation of β-chloroketones without dehydrochlorination with the help of KHCO3. The synthetic utility of the current method is demonstrated in the one-pot synthesis of dihydroisoxazole, dihydropyrazole, and dihydropyrimidine-2-thione in 1 mmol scale.

Herein, we describe an isolable, air-stable, homogeneous, nickel catalyst that performs dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction between secondary and primary alcohols to result α-alkylated ketone products selectively. The sequence of steps involve in this one-pot reaction is dehydrogenation of both alcohols, condensation between the ketone and the aldehyde, and hydrogenation of the in situ-generated α,β-unsaturated ketone. Preliminary mechanistic investigation hints a radical mechanism following borrowing hydrogen reaction. (Figure presented.).
Electronically tuneable orthometalated RuII–NHC complexes as efficient catalysts for C–C and C–N bond formations via borrowing hydrogen strategy

The catalytic activities of a series of simple and electronically tuneable cyclometalated RuII–NHC complexes (2a–d) were explored in various C–C/N bond formations following the borrowing hydrogen process. Slight modifications in the ligand backbone were noted to tune the activities of these complexes. Among them, the complex 2d featuring a 1,2,4-triazolylidene donor with a 4-NO2–phenyl substituent displayed the highest activity for the coupling of diverse secondary and primary alcohols with a low catalyst loading of 0.01 mol% and a sub-stoichiometric amount of inexpensive KOH base. The efficacy of this simple system was further showcased in the challenging one-pot unsymmetrical double alkylation of secondary alcohols using different primary alcohols. Moreover, the complex 2d also effectively catalyses the selective mono-N-methylation of various aromatic and aliphatic primary amines using methanol to deliver a range of N-methyl amines. Mechanistically, the β-alkylation reaction follows a borrowing hydrogen pathway which was established by the deuterium labelling experiment in combination with various control experiments. Intriguingly, in situ1H NMR and ESI-MS analyses evidently suggested the involvement of a Ru–H species in the catalytic cycle and further, the kinetic studies revealed a first order dependence of the reaction rate on the catalyst as well as the alcohol concentrations.

Highly active catalysts play an important role in modern catalysis. A novel and efficient ligand benzotriazole-pyrimidine (BTP) and the corresponding rhodium composite on C3N4 were successfully synthesized. The resulting rhodium composite was fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained composite exhibited good catalytic activity and good recovery performance in the synthesis of quinoxaline from 2-aminobenzyl alcohol and benzonitrile, and more than 20 quinoxalines were obtained in good yields. Additionally, it also showed that rhodium composite could achieved good catalytic performance in the synthesis of functionalized ketone through borrowing hydrogen strategy.
