N-doped ZnO as an efficient photocatalyst for thiocyanation of indoles and phenols under visible-light

In this study, nitrogen-doped ZnO nanorods (N–ZnO NRs) were synthesized via a very simple hydrothermal process, fully characterized, and this photocatalyst was successfully exploited in thiocyanation reactions of indoles and phenols at room temperature under visible light irradiation. Two important classes of aromatic compounds indoles, and phenols using N–ZnO NRs as photocatalyst treated with ammonium thiocyanate as thiocyanation agent formed the corresponding thiocyano compounds in good yields. Nitrogen is one of the most appropriate p-type dopants that is nontoxic, similar to the atomic radius to oxygen, and lower electronegativity and ionization energy than the O atom. Therefore, the N doping converts ZnO into the p-type ZnO semiconductor structure. This potent, simple, and versatile protocol afforded thiocyanation reactions of indole and phenols under visible light. The reactions proceeded through a radical pathway by applying air molecular oxygen as a low cost and environmentally friendly terminal oxidant. The proposed mechanism based on control experiments was thoroughly described. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

ARS-TiO2 photocatalyzed direct functionalization of sp2 C-H bonds toward thiocyanation and cyclization reactions under visible light

An ARS-TiO2 photocatalyst has been prepared, by a simple method through stirring a mixture of ARS and TiO2 at room temperature in the dark, to extend the photocatalytic response of titanium dioxide toward the visible light spectrum. The synergic effect of ARS and TiO2 in the photocatalyst system has catalyzed direct C-H functionalization of sp2 C-H bonds toward thiocyanation and cyclization reactions. Several aromatic and heteroaromatic scaffolds (2-phenylamino-thiazole, phenol, aniline, indole and pyrrole derivatives) were treated with the thiocyanate anion at room temperature. Herein, the first report on thiocyanation of phenol and synthesis of 2-aminobenzothiazole derivatives under visible light is presented.
