A general strategy for enabling a light-induced defunctionalization of sp3 C–heteroatom and sp3 C–C bonds with triplet ketone catalysts and bipyridine additives is disclosed. This protocol is characterized by its broad scope without recourse to transition metal catalysts or stoichiometric exogeneous reductants, thus offering a complementary technique for activating σ sp3 C–C(heteroatom) bonds. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the presence of 2,2′-bipyridines improves the lifetime of ketyl radical intermediates.

The palladium on carbon (Pd/C)-catalyzed direct methoxylation of the benzylic positions of linear benzyl and cyclic ether substrates proceeded in the presence of i-Pr2NEt under an oxygen atmosphere to give the corresponding mixed acetals. Cyclic acetal derivatives could also be converted into orthoesters. The present direct methoxylation via a carbon-hydrogen (C?H) functionalization can be accomplished using the easily-removed Pd/C and molecular oxygen as a green oxidant. The obtained mixed acetals were transformed into the corresponding ether products by chemoselective substitution of the methoxy group using a silyltriflate, 2,4,6-collidine, and a nucleophile. The orthoester derivative could also be transformed into the cyclic ketal under similar reaction conditions.

A comparative study on the catalytic activity of a series of [IrCl 2Cp*(NHC)] complexes in several C-O and C-N coupling processes implying hydrogen-borrowing mechanisms has been performed. The compound [IrCl2Cp*(InBu)] (Cp* = pentamethyl cyclopentadiene; InBu = 1,3-di-n-butylimidazolylidene) showed to be highly effective in the cross-coupling reactions of amines and alcohols, providing high yields in the production of unsymmetrical ethers and N-alkylated amines. A remarkable feature is that the processes were carried out in the absence of base, phosphine, or any other external additive. A comparative study with other known catalysts, such as Shvo's catalyst, is also reported.
