A green and efficient visible light induced Meerwein hydration reaction of alkenes in aqueous medium using mpg-C3N4 as a recyclabe photocatalyst has been disclosed. This protocol provides a direct approach for the preparation of racemic alcohols via a free radical mechanism. Water acted as both a solvent and a reagent without any additives or co-solvents. The metal-free heterogeneous semiconductor is found to be fully recyclable at least 5 times without any significant reduction in activity. The Meerwein hydration reaction has an excellent substrate scope and gave the desired products in moderate to high yields. Furthermore, this reaction could be carried out under solar light irradiation and is applicable for large-scale reactions with satisfactory results.

Main group metal based catalysis has been considered to be a cost-effective alternative way to the transition metal based catalysis, due to the high abundance of main group metals in the Earth's crust. Among the main group metals, aluminum is the most abundant (7-8%) in the Earth's crust, making the development of aluminum based catalysts very attractive. So far, aluminum based compounds have been popularly used as Lewis acids in a variety of organic reactions, but chemical transformation demanding a redox based process has never utilized an Al(III) complex as a catalyst. Herein, we tuned the redox noninnocence behavior of a phenalenyl ligand by coupling with Al(III) ion, which subsequently can store the electron upon reduction with K to carry out direct C-H arylation of heteroarenes/mesitylene at ambient temperature. A mechanistic investigation revealed that a three-electron reduced phenalenyl based triradical aluminum(III) complex plays the key role in such catalysis. The electronic structure of the catalytically active triradical species has been probed using EPR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and electronic structure calculations using a DFT method.

Photoredox-based C?H bond functionalization constitutes one of the most powerful and atom-economical approaches to organic syntheses. During this type of reaction, single electron transfer takes place between the photocatalyst (PC) and redox- active substrates. Electrosynthesis also involves electron transfer between substrates and electrodes. In this paper, we focus upon electrochemical cross-coupling of C(sp2)?H with aryldiazonium salts and have developed an efficient electrochemical approach to the Minisci-type arylation reaction. The constant current paired electrosynthesis proceeds in a simple undivided cell without external supporting electrolyte, features a wide range of substrates and is easy to scale-up. These results demonstrate that photoredox-based cross-coupling of C(sp2)?H with aryldiazonium salts can also proceed successfully under paired electrolysis conditions, thereby contributing to understanding of the parallels between photosynthesis and electrosynthesis.

Direct C?H arylation of arenes and heteroarenes to biaryls at ambient temperature has been accomplished using a phenalenyl-supported iron(III) catalyst. The present catalyst requires a chemical reductant such as potassium and functions without any light stimulation. C?H arylation of various heteroarenes including pyridine as well as unactivated arene such as benzene delivered good to excellent yield (28 examples, up to 92 %) at room temperature. A combined effort based on experiments and theoretical calculations established that a phenalenyl-based radical species (generated by chemical reduction of the iron(III) coordinated phenalenyl complex) plays key role during the catalysis. Furthermore, this catalyst displayed remarkable stability during the catalysis, as evident from the fact that it was still usable over ten consecutive catalytic runs without losing its catalytic efficiency.

An unprecedented hypervalent iodine(III) catalyzed Balz–Schiemann reaction is described. In the presence of a hypervalent iodine compound, the fluorination reaction proceeds under mild conditions (25–60 °C), and features a wide substrate scope and good functional-group compatibility.
