A methodology for a radical Pictet–Spengler reaction promoted by visible light photoredox catalysis is described. This strategy furnishes tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives bearing electron poor and electron rich substituents. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and with excellent regioselectivity for the 6-endo intramolecular cyclisation. This radical approach provides a complementary method for the synthesis of the tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold with substitution patterns inaccessible via established thermal transformations.

Electron-rich arenes react with aryl and alkyl disulfides in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ir(dF(CF3)ppy)2(dtbpy)]PF6 and (NH4)2S2O8 under blue light irradiation to yield arylthiols. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and avoids the use of prefunctionalized arenes. Experimental evidence suggests a radical–radical cross coupling mechanism.

<div>The Mizoroki−Heck reaction is one of the most efficient methods for alkenylation of</div><div>aryl, vinyl, and alkyl halides. Due to its innate nature, this protocol requires the employment of compounds possessing a halogen atom at the site of functionalization. However, the accessibility of organic molecules possessing a halogen atom at a particular site in aliphatic systems is extremely limited. Thus, a protocol that would allow a Heck reaction to occur at a specific non-functionalized C(sp3)−H site would be highly desirable.</div><div>Here, we report a radical relay Heck reaction which allows for a selective remote</div>alkenylation of aliphatic alcohols at unactivated β-, γ- and δ-C(sp3 20 )–H sites. The use of easily installable/removable Si-based auxiliary enables selective I-atom/radical translocation events at remote C−H sites followed by the Heck reaction. Notably, the reaction proceeds smoothly under mild visible light-mediated conditions at room temperature, producing highly modifiable and valuable alkenol products from readily available alcohols feedstocks. <br>

A photoredox catalytic strategy has been described for the direct C2 trifluoromethylation of quinoline N-oxides. This reaction is compatible with a range of synthetically relevant functional groups for providing efficient synthesis of a variety of C2 trifluoromethyl quinoline N-oxides at room temperature. Mechanistic studies indicated that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway.
