A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

A robust acenaphthoimidazolylidene gold complex is demonstrated as a highly efficient catalyst in the direct alkylsulfonylation of boronic acids. Remarkably, a wide range of highly reactive and unreactive C-electrophiles were well-tolerated to produce various (hetero)aryl-alkyl, aryl-alkenyl, and alkenyl-alkyl sulfones in satisfactory yields with 5 mol % catalyst loading. Along with the steric properties of NHC ligands, the high catalytic activity of this gold complex suggests that the strong σ-donation of acenaphthoimidazolylidene also played a role in promoting this challenging redox-neutral catalytic process.

A new cross-coupling reaction between sulfonyl hydrazides and diazo compounds has been established, leading to a variety of β-carbonyl sulfones in good yields. This methodology was distinguished by simple manipulation, easily available starting materials, and wide substrate scope. A plausible mechanism involving a radical process was proposed based upon the experimental observations and literature.
