Herein, we report that merging palladium catalysis with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis enabled direct arylations and alkenylations of aldehyde C-H bonds, facilitating visible light-catalyzed construction of a variety of ketones. Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate and anthraquinone were found to act as synergistic HAT photocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations suggested a Pd0-PdII-PdIII-PdI-Pd0 pathway and revealed that regeneration of the Pd0 catalyst and the photocatalyst occurs simultaneously in the presence of KHCO3. This regeneration features a low energy barrier, promoting efficient coupling of the palladium catalytic cycle with the photocatalytic cycle. The work reported herein suggests great promise for further applications of HAT photocatalysis in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and C-H functionalization reactions to be successful.
