Article Abstract
A broad range of 1,10-phenanthroline substrates was efficiently C-H functionalised, providing rapid, gram-scale access to substituted heteroaromatic cores of broad utility. Furthermore, this C-H functionalisation pathway was extended to the synthesis of previously inaccessible, ultra-soluble, 2,9-bis-triazinyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BTPhen) ligands for advanced nuclear fuel cycles.

We herein report the Minisci-type redox-neutral decarboxylative hydroxyalkylation of heteroarenes under photocatalyst- and transition-metal-free conditions. This methodology tolerates various functional groups that can be subsequently elaborated. Upon absorption of photons, the excited state of the α-oxocarboxylic acid forms an acyl radical, which adds to the protonated heteroarene to give the desired product after a spin center shift (SCS), reduction, and deprotonation.

The annulation reaction of β-methyl enaminones with alkynones leading to the synthesis of methylene-functionalized 1,2-dihydropyridines (1,2-DHPs) has been realized. In the presence of only CsCO, 1,2-DHPs have been synthesized with a broad scope and generally high efficiency via the novel transformation of the γ-C(sp)-H bond in enaminones. In addition, the application of the method has been demonstrated by the one-step transformation of the 1,2-DHP products into fused tricyclic scaffolds featuring an indole-pyridine hybrid via dual C-H activation.

Carbenes are promising reagents for the transition metal-free activation of molecular hydrogen. Depending on their multiplicity and electron configuration, carbenes can access different hydrogenation reaction mechanisms, with singlet carbenes usually leading to geminal hydrogenation products a π-approach trajectory. Our group has recently prepared 1-iodopyridine-2-ylidene, , introducing a new class of singlet -heterocyclic carbenes featuring σ/σ* instead of the usually encountered σ/π frontier orbitals.
