A metal-free methodology for the photoarylation of pyridines, in water, is described giving 2 and 4-arylated-pyridines in yields up to 96percent. The scope of the aryldiazonium salts is presented showing important results depending on the nature and position of the substituent group in the diazonium salt, that is, electron-donating or electron-withdrawing in the ortho, meta, or para positions. Further heteroaromatics were also successfully photoarylated. Mechanistic studies and comparison between our methodology and similar metal-catalyzed procedures are presented, suggesting the occurrence of a visible-light EDA complex which generates the aryl radical with no need for an additional photocatalyst.

Two problems have hindered the Gomberg-Bachmann (GB) and Pschorr reactions of arenediazonium cations: the instability of the arenediazonium salts and side reactions.Arenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and hexafluorophosphate salts can be prepared in high yield and purity and can be stored safely.Unfortunately, these salts are insoluble in most nonpolar organic solvents.Crown ether complexation or other phase-transfer (pt) catalytic methodology can ameliorate this situation, and reactions conducted by the approaches outlined herein often afforded coupling or cyclization products in high yield and corresponding purity.The use of crown ethers, quarternary 'onium salts, lipophilic carboxylic acid salts, and even the polar cosolvent acetonitrile increase the utility of the ptGB reaction dramatically.Sixty examples of couplings are reported along with an assessment of selectivities.A number of examples are also presented of phase-transfer-type Pschorr cyclizations.In the latter case, the use of potassium superoxide, KO2, is introduced to suppress indazole formation.
