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.

Substituted 4-benzylpyridines are prepared by regiospecific γ-addition of substituted benzylic Grinard reagents to pyridinium salts in fairly good yields.
