Bioinspired constructs consisting of benzimidazole-phenol moieties bearing N-phenylimines as proton-accepting substituents have been designed to mimic the H-bond network associated with the TyrZ-His190 redox relay in photosystem II. These compo

The invention relates to a method for preparing asymmetric imine or asymmetric secondary amine compounds through photocatalysis. According to the method, under the conditions of illumination and inert gas, different types of photocatalysts supported by cocatalysts are selected, so that an aromatic alcohol compound and an aromatic amino compound can react to obtain the asymmetric imine compound or the asymmetric secondary amine compound. The method can be used for replacing the existing mature organic synthesis process, is mild in condition and high in selectivity, has universality and is suitable for industrial production.

The traditional Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction represents one of the most powerful tools for imine formation. However, for this multistep procedure, the sacrificial phosphine has to be used, resulting in difficulties in the purification process and waste disposal at the same time. Here, we report a redox-neutral azide-alcohol imination methodology enabled by a base-metal nickel PN3 pincer catalyst. The one-step, waste-free, and high atom-economical features highlight its advantages further. Moreover, mechanistic insight suggests a non-metal-ligand cooperation pathway based on the observation of an intermediate and density functional theory calculations.
