Photoredox catalysis has been developed to achieve oxidative C-H chlorination of aromatic compounds using NaCl as the chlorine source and Na2S2O8 as the oxidant. The reactions occur at room temperature and exhibit exclusive selectivity for C(sp2)-H bonds over C(sp3)-H bonds. The method has been used for the chlorination of a diverse set of substrates, including the expedited synthesis of key intermediates to bioactive compounds and a drug.

We report here cobalt-N-heterocyclic carbene catalytic systems for the ortho alkylation of aromatic imines with alkyl chlorides and bromides, which allows the introduction of a variety of primary and secondary alkyl groups at room temperature. The stereochemical outcomes of the reaction of secondary alkyl halides suggest that the present reaction involves single-electron transfer from a cobalt species to the alkyl halide to generate the corresponding alkyl radical. A cycloalkylated product obtained by this method can be transformed into unique spirocycles through manipulation of the directing and cycloalkyl groups.
