Porous borocarbonitride (P-BCN), with the characteristics of enhanced crystallinity and improved N-B pair exposure, was prepared with a simple KCl-assisted molten salt strategy. Efficient heterogeneous photocatalytic tandem synthesis of benzazoles from alcohol oxidation/toluene sp3C-H activation was achieved firstly over the metal-free P-BCN using visible light and the green oxidant O2, with only water as a by-product. Variouso-thio/hydroxy/aminoanilines and alcohols or toluenes could be converted to the corresponding 2-substituted benzothiazoles, benzoxazoles and benzimidazoles with good to excellent photocatalytic performance. The improved photocatalytic performance in comparison to bulk BCN should be due to the crystallinity-enhancement-induced improvement in charge separation and transmission. The increased N-B pair exposure promoted superoxide radical generation due to the electron-enriched N atoms, as well as improved oxidation ability due to the valence band constructed by the B 2p orbital. This work presents a green and efficient synthetic strategy towards benzazoles and other fine chemicalsviametal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis.

In this work simple efficient, one pot and environmentally friendly method was developed for the synthesis of 2-Aryl-1H-benzoxazole derivatives at 80oC using ortho-aminophenol and various aldehydes. It has been found that Dowex 50W is an effective catalyst to prepare moderate to high yield of a variety of benzoxazole derivatives through a clean and simple process. Aqueous medium, green methodology, rapid reaction, reusability of heterogeneous catalyst are the great advantages of this protocol.

Cooperative bimetallic catalysis is a fundamental approach in modern synthetic chemistry. We report bimetallic cooperative catalysis for the direct decarbonylative heteroarylation of ubiquitous carboxylic acids via acyl C-O/C-H coupling. This novel catalytic system exploits the cooperative action of a copper catalyst and a palladium catalyst in decarbonylation, which enables highly chemoselective synthesis of important heterobiaryl motifs through the coupling of carboxylic acids with heteroarenes in the absence of prefunctionalization or directing groups. This cooperative decarbonylative method uses common carboxylic acids and shows a remarkably broad substrate scope (>70 examples), including late-stage modification of pharmaceuticals and streamlined synthesis of bioactive agents. Extensive mechanistic and computational studies were conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of the reaction. The key step involves intersection of the two catalytic cycles via transmetallation of the copper–aryl species with the palladium(II) intermediate generated by oxidative addition/decarbonylation.
