Herein, we disclose that electrochemical stimulation induces new photocatalytic activity from a range of structurally diverse conventional photocatalysts. These studies uncover a new electron-primed photoredox catalyst capable of promoting the reductive cleavage of strong C(sp2)?N and C(sp2)?O bonds. We illustrate several examples of the synthetic utility of these deeply reducing but otherwise safe and mild catalytic conditions. Finally, we employ electrochemical current measurements to perform a reaction progress kinetic analysis. This technique reveals that the improved activity of this new system is a consequence of an enhanced catalyst stability profile.

The reduction of aryl diethyl phosphate esters by lithium 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenylide (LiDTBB) in THF at 0 °C is described. The reactions can be carried out either stoichiometrically (3.0 equiv LiDTBB) or with only a catalytic amount of DTBB (0.25 equiv) in the presence of lithium (2.1-3.0 equiv) and the phosphate. Products are separated from DTBB by solubility differences, by acid/base vs. neutral extraction, or by flash chromatography.
