A suitable protocol for the photocatalytic decarboxylation of carboxylic acids was developed with metal-free ceramic boron carbon nitrides (BCN). With visible light irradiation, BCN oxidize carboxylic acids to give carbon-centered radicals, which were trapped by hydrogen atom donors or employed in the construction of the carbon-carbon bond. In this system, both (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic acids proceed the decarboxylation smoothly, and C-H, C-D, and C-C bonds are formed in moderate to high yields (35 examples, yield up to 93%). Control experiments support a radical process, and isotopic experiments show that methanol is employed as the hydrogen atom donor. Recycle tests and gram-scale reaction elucidate the practicability of the heterogeneous ceramic BCN photoredox system. It provides an alternative to homogeneous catalysts in the valuable carbon radical intermediates formation. Moreover, the metal-free system is also applicable to late-stage functionalization of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as naproxen and ibuprofen, which enrich the chemical toolbox.
Nickel-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H Arylation of Diarylmethane Derivatives with Aryl Fluorides

, p. 2993 - 2999 (2018/03/09)
A novel nickel-catalyzed C(sp3)-H arylation with nonactivated aryl fluorides is reported. The use of 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) as a ligand was found to be critical to the success of the reaction. This new method enables the synthesis of a wide range of triarylmethane derivatives.

A practical and convenient approach for the secondary C(sp3)-H arylation of diarylmethanes with various fluoroarenes is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of LDA (lithium diisopropylamide) at room temperature and affords triarylmethanes in moderate to high yields.
