Photocatalytic organic conversions involving a hydrogen transfer (HT) step have attracted much attention, but the efficiency and selectivity under visible light irradiation still needs to be significantly enhanced. Here we have developed a noble metal-free, basic-site engineered bismuth oxybromide [Bi24O31Br10(OH)] that can accelerate the photocatalytic HT step in both reduction and oxidation reactions, i.e., nitrobenzene to azo/azoxybenzene, quinones to quinols, thiones to thiols, and alcohols to ketones under visible light irradiation and ambient conditions. Remarkably, quantum efficiencies of 42% and 32% for the nitrobenzene reduction can be reached under 410 and 450 nm irradiation, respectively. The Bi24O31Br10(OH) photocatalyst also exhibits excellent performance in up-scaling and stability under visible light and even solar irradiation, revealing economic potential for industrial applications.

Treatment of aromatic nitro compounds with cadmium chloride-metallic zinc combination systems has been shown to display a good reaction selectivity in the formation of symmetrical azoxy compounds in high yields.

A highly efficient and selective oxidation of primary and tertiary amines employing SO2F2/H2O2/base system was described. Anilines were converted to the corresponding azoxybenzenes, while primary benzylamines were transformed into nitriles and secondary benzylamines were rearranged to amides. For tertiary amine substrates quinolines, isoquinolines and pyridines, their oxidation products were the corresponding N-oxides. The reaction conditions are very mild and just involve SO2F2, amines, 30% aqueous H2O2 solution, and inorganic base at room temperature. One unique advantage is that this oxidation system is just composed of inexpensive inorganic compounds without the use of any metal and organic compounds.

Aromatic azo compounds, which play an important role in pharmaceutical and industrial applications, still face great challenges in synthesis. Herein, we report a molybdenum oxide compound, [N(C4H9)4]2[Mo6O19] (1), catalyzed selective oxidation of anilines with hydrogen peroxide as green oxidant. The oxidation of anilines can be realized in a fully selectively fashion to afford various symmetric/asymmetric azobenzene and azoxybenzene compounds, respectively, by changing additive and solvent, avoiding the use of stoichiometric metal oxidants. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest the intermediacy of highly active reactive and elusive Mo imido complexes.
