Visible-Light-Promoted [3+2] Cyclization of Chalcones with 2-Mercaptobenzimidazoles: A Protocol for the Synthesis of Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles

Ziren Chen et al.

Summary: A visible-light-promoted [3 + 2] cyclization reaction using chalcones and 2-mercaptobenzoimidazoles has been developed for the synthesis of diverse imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles via an electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complex. This novel aminothiolation reaction can proceed under visible light irradiation alone, without the need for external photocatalysts, transition metals, or oxidants. Mechanistic studies have revealed that the formation of EDA complexes between thiol anions and chalcones provides a new strategy for the synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles.

Bi4O5Br2 catalyzed selective oxidative of C=C double bonds to ketones with molecular oxygen under visible-light irradiation

Tianxiang Liu et al.

Summary: Ketones play a crucial role in pharmaceuticals, food additives, and organic synthesis. Efficient and environmentally friendly selective oxidation cleavage of olefins is important for ketone synthesis. This study utilized a bismuth-rich Bi4O5Br2 photocatalyst, obtained through a microwave method, as a heterogeneous catalyst under visible-light irradiation. By using water/dioxane as the solvent and molecular oxygen as the oxygen source, various ketones were obtained in moderate to good yields. The catalyst exhibited stable activity over four cycles and the oxidative cleavage of C=C double bonds was attributed to superoxide radicals or photogenerated electrons and holes.
