Catalytically generated vinyl gold complexes from tert‐butyl allenoates were found to undergo an efficient cross‐coupling with arenediazonium salts. The gold(I)‐gold(III) redox cycle can be accessed under two different conditions, i.e., visible‐light photoredox as well as a thermally induced radical chain pathway. The current C(sp2)C(sp2) cross‐coupling protocol that is catalytic in gold, would make available desirable structural diversity to the traditional cross‐coupling chemistry.magnified image

In this work, we demonstrate an extremely simple but highly effective strategy for the synthesis of various functional metal oxides (MOs) such as ZnO, In2O3, Bi2O3, and SnO2nanoparticles with various distinct shapes at room temperatureviaa solid-state reaction method.

A convenient visible-light photoredox catalysis has been developed for the synthesis of thioesters from two readily available starting materials: acid chlorides and sodium sulfinates. The facile generation of acyl radical species under the visible light photoredox conditions allows the formation of thiyl radical species from sodium sulfinates via multiple single electron transfer reactions, where the final acyl radical-thiyl radical coupling has been accomplished. The direct radical–radical coupling strategy offers a mild and controlled photochemical approach to important synthetic building blocks such as thioesters.

The generation of aminium radical cation species from N-nitrosoamines is disclosed for the first time through visible-light excitation at 453 nm. The developed visible-light-promoted photoaddition reaction of N-nitrosoamines to alkenes was combined with the o-NQ-catalyzed aerobic oxidation protocol of amines to telescope the direct handling of harmful N-nitroso compounds, where the desired α-amino oxime derivatives were obtained in a one-pot tandem N-nitrosation and photoaddition sequence.
