Chemical transformations that install heteroatoms into C?H bonds are of significant interest because they streamline the construction of value-added small molecules. Direct C?H oxyfunctionalization, or the one step conversion of a C?H bond to a C?O bond, could be a highly enabling transformation due to the prevalence of the resulting enantioenriched alcohols in pharmaceuticals and natural products,. Here we report a single-flask photoredox/enzymatic process for direct C?H hydroxylation that proceeds with broad reactivity, chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This unified strategy advances general photoredox and enzymatic catalysis synergy and enables chemoenzymatic processes for powerful and selective oxidative transformations.

A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling to construct the C(sp2)-C(sp3) bond was developed from two sustainable biomass-based feedstocks: phenol derivatives with umpolung aldehydes. This strategy features the in situ generation of moisture/air-stable hydrazones from naturally abundant aldehydes, which act as alkyl nucleophiles under catalysis to couple with readily available phenol derivatives. The avoidance of using both halides as the electrophiles and organometallic or organoboron reagents (also derived from halides) as the nucleophiles makes this method more sustainable. Water tolerance, great functional group (ketone, ester, free amine, amide, etc.) compatibility, and late-stage elaboration of complex biological molecules exemplified its practicability and unique chemoselectivity over organometallic reagents.

A new protocol for the direct reductive cobalt-catalyzed arylation of benzyl chlorides has been developed in order to form functionalized diarylmethanes. A variety of reactive groups either on the aryl or the benzyl halide was employed. This represents the first cobalt-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling which does not require any ligand and pyridine. A reaction pathway is proposed involving a radical benzyl species. (Figure presented.).
