Direct cross-coupling between alkenes/R-H or alkenes/RXH is a dream reaction, especially without external oxidants. Inputting energy by photocatalysis and employing a cobalt catalyst as a two-electron acceptor, a direct C?H/X?H cross-coupling with H2evolution has been achieved for C?O and C?N bond formation. A new radical alkenylation using alkene as the redox compound is presented. A wide range of aliphatic alcohols—even long chain alcohols—are tolerated well in this system, providing a new route to multi-substituted enol ether derivatives using simple alkenes. Additionally, this protocol can also be used for N-vinylazole synthesis. Mechanistic insights reveal that the cobalt catalyst oxidizes the photocatalyst to revive the photocatalytic cycle.

A 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA)-photosensitized reaction of 3-cyano- or 3-ethoxy-2,2-diarylthietane in acetonitrile gave selectively 2-cyano- or 2-ethoxy-1,1-diarylethene.The ring-splitting reaction proceeds via a one-electron oxidation of the sulfur atom of thietane ring by a photochemical electron transfer to the excited singlet state of DCA.
