A highly efficient Cu-catalyzed 1,4-difunctionalization of isoquinolinium salts was developed with ether and X- (X = Br, Cl) as the halogen source under mild conditions. This transformation involves the combination of oxidative coupling and copper-catalyzed halogen atom-transfer radical processes. This method not only provides an efficient way to prepare various substituted azaarenes but also achieves the selective construction of C(sp2)-X (X = Br, Cl) bonds from a halogen anion and nucleophilic carbon atom via a free-radical process.

As one of the most ubiquitous bulk reagents available, the intrinsic chemical inertness of tetrahydrofuran (THF) makes direct and site-selective C(sp3)?H bond activation difficult, especially under redox neutral condition. Here, we demonstrate that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can activate α-C?H bond of THF via forming QDs/THF conjugates. Under visible light irradiation, the resultant alkoxyalkyl radical directly engages in radical cross-coupling with α-amino radical from amino C?H bonds or radical addition with alkene or phenylacetylene, respectively. In contrast to stoichiometric oxidant or hydrogen atom transfer reagents required in previous studies, the scalable benchtop approach can execute α-C?H bond activation of THF only by a QD photocatalyst under redox-neutral condition, thus providing a broad of value added chemicals starting from bulk THFs reagent.
