The photochemical reactivity of benzophenone is utilized for direct benzylic C–H bond acylation of methylbenzenes via H-atom abstraction as a key step. The reaction offers a robust method for synthesizing ketones using acid chlorides and anhydrides.

The excitation of lanthanides with visible light to promote photochemical reactions has garnered interest in recent years. Lanthanides serve as initiators for photochemical reactions because they exhibit visible-light-promoted 4f→5d transitions that lead to emissive states with electrochemical potentials that are more negative than the corresponding ground states. The lanthanides that have shown the most promising characteristics for visible-light promoted photoredox are SmII, EuII, and CeIII. By understanding the effects that ligands have on the 5d orbitals of SmII, EuII, and CeIII, luminescence and reactivity can be rationally modulated using coordination chemistry. This review briefly overviews the photochemical reactivity of SmII, EuII, and CeIII with visible light; the properties that influence the reactivity of these ions; and the research that has been reported towards modulating their photochemical-relevant properties using visible light and coordination chemistry.

Direct functionalizations of two distinct inert C-H bonds represent the most ideal ways to construct C-C bonds. Herein, we report an intermolecular vinylation of aldehydes using alkenes as the vinylating reagents through sequential two-fold C-H functionalizations. The merging of visible light and NHC-catalysis allows for the direct coupling of alkenes with aldehydes through an unprecedented relay dual catalysis enabled cross-dehydrogenative coupling mechanism. The use of diphenoquinone is essential for the success of this reaction, which plays an intriguing two-fold role in the reaction, as both an electron acceptor as well as a radical reservoir for the radical coupling enabling C-C forming-process.
