Cross-coupling between substrates that can be easily derived from phenols is highly attractive due to the abundance and low cost of phenols. Here, we report a dual nickel/palladium-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling between aryl tosylates and aryl triflates; both substrates can be accessed in just one step from readily available phenols. The reaction has a broad functional group tolerance and substrate scope (>60 examples). Furthermore, it displays low sensitivity to steric effects demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2,2’disubstituted biaryl and a fully substituted aryl product. The widespread presence of phenols in natural products and pharmaceuticals allow for straightforward late-stage functionalization, illustrated with examples such as Ezetimibe and tyrosine. NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations indicate that the nickel catalyst is responsible for activating the aryl triflate, while the palladium catalyst preferentially reacts with the aryl tosylate.

Visible-light photoredox catalysis offers a distinct activation mode complementary to thermal transition metal catalyzed reactions. The vast majority of photoredox processes capitalizes on precious metal ruthenium(II) or iridium(III) complexes that serve as single-electron reductants or oxidants in their photoexcited states. As a low-cost alternative, organic dyes are also frequently used but in general suffer from lower photostability. Copper-based photocatalysts are rapidly emerging, offering not only economic and ecological advantages but also otherwise inaccessible inner-sphere mechanisms, which have been successfully applied to challenging transformations. Moreover, the combination of conventional photocatalysts with copper(I) or copper(II) salts has emerged as an efficient dual catalytic system for cross-coupling reactions.

N-phenyl phenothiazine is one of the most reducing photoredox catalysts. Its synthesis commonly requires transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Here we show the syntheses of four aryl phenothiazines via a benzyne route, including a multi-gram scale synthesis of N-phenyl phenothiazine. While yields are modest, the simplicity, low cost, and lack of requirement for cross-coupling catalyst in this synthesis will be attractive to users of this photocatalyst.

Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) is an important type of π-conjugated building block for high-performance organic electronic materials. DPP-based conjugated materials are usually synthesized via Suzuki, Stille, or Negishi cross-coupling reactions, which require organometallic precursors. In this paper, a series of novel phenyl-cored DPP molecules, including five meta-phenyl-cored molecules and four para-phenyl-cored molecules, have been synthesized in moderate to good yields, in a facile manner, through the Pd-catalyzed direct arylation of C–H bonds, and their optoelectrical properties have been investigated in detail. All new molecules have been fully characterized by NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, elemental analysis, UV–visible spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. This synthetic strategy has evident advantages of atom- and step-economy and low cost, compared with traditional cross-coupling reactions.
