Herein, we disclose that electrochemical stimulation induces new photocatalytic activity from a range of structurally diverse conventional photocatalysts. These studies uncover a new electron-primed photoredox catalyst capable of promoting the reductive cleavage of strong C(sp2)?N and C(sp2)?O bonds. We illustrate several examples of the synthetic utility of these deeply reducing but otherwise safe and mild catalytic conditions. Finally, we employ electrochemical current measurements to perform a reaction progress kinetic analysis. This technique reveals that the improved activity of this new system is a consequence of an enhanced catalyst stability profile.
Bisoxazoline-pincer ligated cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes

The efficient and atom economical hydrogenation of alkenes using a novel bisoxazoline ligated cobalt complex has been developed. The hydrogenation of a variety of alkenes containing electron neutral and electron-donating groups proceeds in high yield, whi

To examine the assembly methodology of diarylmethanes, a benzylation of (hetero)arenes with benzyl halides has been developed and various diarylmethanes were furnished with yields of up to 98% and regioselectivities of up to >99%. The complexation of the by-product halogen hydride with BF3·OEt2 generated the Bronsted acid BF3·HX (HBF3X, X=Cl or Br) in situ to synergistically promote the benzylation.
