Polysulfide anions are endowed with unique redox properties, attracting considerable attentions for their applications in alkali metals-sulfur batteries. However, the employment of these anionic species in redox catalysis for small molecule synthesis remains underdeveloped due to their moderate-poor electrochemical potential in the ground state, whereas some of them are characterized by photoabsorptions in visible spectral regions. Herein, we disclose the use of polysulfide anions as visible light photoredox catalysts for aryl cross-coupling reactions. The reaction design enables single-electron reduction of aryl halides upon the photoexcitation of tetrasulfide dianions (S42-). The resulting aryl radicals are engaged in (hetero)biaryl cross-coupling, borylation, and hydrogenation in a redox catalytic regime involving S4?-/S42- and S3?-/S32- redox couples.

We report a protocol for aryl cross-coupling of electron-deficient aryl halides with electron-rich (hetero)arenes that is driven solely by violet light. This process takes advantage of formation of photo-excited state of electron-deficient aryl halides, that are reduced by electron-rich (hetero)arenes to form a pair of aryl anion and cation radicals. The resulting aryl anion radicals of aryl halides undergo mesolysis of the carbon-halogen bond to generate aryl radicals, that are coupled most likely with aryl cation radicals to afford functionalized biaryls.

(Chemical Equation Presented) From the commercial 6-chloro-2,4- dimethoxypyrimidine (1) and by a photostimulated reaction with Me 3Sn- ions, 2,4-dimethoxy-6-(trimethylstannyl)pyrimidine (2) was obtained in 95% yield. By the cross-coupling reaction of 2 with 1-iodonaphthalene as electrophile catalyzed by Pd (Stille reaction), 2,4-dimethoxy-6-(naphthalen-1-yl)pyrimidine (9) was obtained in 76% yield. By hydrolysis of 9, 6-(1-naphthyl)uracil was obtained in 98% of isolated yield. When the three steps (SRN1 reaction-cross coupling reaction-hydrolysis) were performed in a one-pot reaction, 6-substituted uracils (1-naphthyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl) were obtained (43-57%) of isolated pure products. When the electrophile was a benzoyl chloride, 6-benzoyl uracil (54%) and 6-(2-chlorobenzoyl) uracil (49%) were obtained in isolated pure products.
