A novel carbanionic reactivity of imines mediated by photoredox catalysis is demonstrated. The umpolung imine reactivity is exemplified by proton abstraction from water as a key step in the reduction of benzophenone ketimines to amines (up to 98% yield). Deuterium is introduced into amines efficiently using D2O as an inexpensive deuterium source (≥95% D ratio). The mechanism of this unusual transformation is probed.

The acylation of carbanions derived from N-(diphenylmethyl)arylmethanimines using aroyl chlorides, allows the preparation of a new type of substituted 2-azabuta-1,3-dienes in which the imino group is conjugated with an enol ester.The reaction is quite general and facilitates the preparation of a wide range of 2-azadienes with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the phenyl rings.The site selectivity for the attack of the electrophile on the aza-allyl anion can be controlled by the substituents on the carbanion and on the hardness of the electrophile.
