Selective C-H Functionalization via Single Electron Transfer Process (SET)
New methodologies in cross-coupling reactions using carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds as substrates is of great interest due to the challenges associated with C-H bond activation and the potential to streamline synthesis by the elimination of pre-activated coupling reagents. The purpose of this research is to utilize the power of single electron transfer (SET) processes to facilitate selective C-H bond functionalization of amines.

Metal-Free Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction of Tertiary Amines
Comment
By utilizing catalytic amounts of sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2), a mild protocol for the metal-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling(CDC) reaction of tertiary amines under aerobic conditions was developed. Due to the nature of SO2Cl2, it is believed that this reagent acts as a radical initiator to induce the metal-free CDC reaction via a radical-initiated autoxidation mechanism.

Cooperative Catalytic System for the Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction of Tertiary Amines
Comment
A cooperative catalytic system between hexachlorantimonate anion and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) was developed for the aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Metal Antimonates as Bifunctional Catalysts for Oxidative Coupling Reactions
Comment
Based on our previous discovery of an antimonate anion as an effective catalyst for the cross-dehydrogenative (CDC) reaction of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines, a bifunctional metal antimonate catalytic system was designed. It was found that a well-defined zinc antimonate salt was found to be an effective catalyst for the α-allylation of glycine derivatives.
