Herein we report nickel-catalyzed sustainable synthesis of a few chosen five-membered fused nitrogen heterocycles such as benzimidazole, purine, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole via acceptorless dehydrogenative functionalization of alcohols. Using a bench stable, easy to prepare, and inexpensive Ni(ii)-catalyst, [Ni(MeTAA)] (1a), featuring a tetraaza macrocyclic ligand (tetramethyltetraaza[14]annulene (MeTAA)), a wide variety of polysubstituted benzimidazole, purine, benzothiazole, and benzoxazole derivatives were prepared via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with 1,2-diaminobenzene, 4,5-diaminopyrimidine, 2-aminothiphenol, and 2-aminophenol, respectively. A wide array of benzimidazoles were also prepared via a borrowing hydrogen approach involving alcohols as hydrogen donors and 2-nitroanilines as hydrogen acceptors. A few control experiments were performed to understand the reaction mechanism.

Metal-free conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) as visible-light active and recyclable photocatalysts offer a green and sustainable alternative to classical metal-based photosensitizers. However, the strategy for screening CMP-based heterogeneous photocatalysts has not been interpreted up to now. Herein, we present a general strategy for obtaining excellent solid photocatalysts, which is to implement bandgap engineering in the same series of materials. As a proof of concept, three conjugated porous materials containing benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b′:5,6-b′′]trithiophene building blocks (BTT-CMP1, BTT-CMP2 and BTT-CMP3) were successfully constructed. They possess permanent porosity with a large specific surface area and excellent stability. By changing the linker between benzotrithiophene units, the bandgaps, energy levels and photoelectric performances including the absorption, transient photocurrent responses and photocatalytic performances of BTT-CMPs could be handily modulated. Indeed, BTT-CMP2 displayed the best catalytic activity for visible-light-induced synthesis of benzimidazoles among the three CMP materials, even higher than that of small molecule photocatalysts. As a metal-free photocatalyst, interestingly, the screened BTT-CMP2 also showed extensive substrate applicability and outstanding recyclability. Additionally, we have the opinion that this strategy will prove to be a guiding principle for screening superior CMP-based photocatalysts and broaden their application fields.
