Photocatalysis in aqueous micellar media has recently opened wide avenues to activate strong carbon-halide bonds. So far, however, it has mainly explored strongly reducing conditions, restricting the available chemical space to radical or anionic reactivity. Here, we demonstrate a controllable, photocatalytic strategy that channels the reaction of chlorinated benzamides via either a radical or a cationic pathway, enabling a chemodivergent C-H arylation or N-dealkylation. The catalytic system operates under mild conditions with methylene blue as a photocatalyst and blue LEDs as the light source. Factors determining the reactivity of substrates, their selectivity, and preliminary mechanistic studies are presented.

The metal-free catalytic hydrogenation of secondary carboxylic acid amides is developed. The reduction is realized by two new catalytic reactions. First, the amide is converted into the imidoyl chloride by triphosgene (CO(OCCl3)2) using novel phosphorus(V) catalysts. Second, the in situ generated imidoyl chlorides are hydrogenated in high yields by an FLP-catalyst. Mechanistic and quantum mechanical calculations support an autoinduced catalytic cycle for the hydrogenation with chloride acting as unusual Lewis base for FLP-mediated H2-activation.

Oximes are valuable synthetic intermediates for the preparation of a variety of functional groups. To date, the stereoselective synthesis of oximes remains a major challenge, as most current synthetic methods either provide mixtures of E and Z isomers or furnish the thermodynamically preferred E isomer. Herein we report a mild and general method to achieve Z isomers of aryl oximes by photoisomerization of oximes via visible-light-mediated energy transfer (EnT) catalysis. Facile access to (Z)-oximes provides opportunities to achieve regio- and chemoselectivity complementary to those of widely used transformations employing oxime starting materials. We show an enhanced one-pot protocol for photocatalyzed oxime isomerization and subsequent Beckmann rearrangement that enables novel reactivity with alkyl groups migrating preferentially over aryl groups, reversing the regioselectivity of the traditional Beckmann reaction. Chemodivergent N- or O- cyclizations of alkenyl oximes are also demonstrated, leading to nitrones or cyclic oxime ethers, respectively.
