Diverse Visible-Light-Promoted Functionalizations of Benzotriazoles Inspired by Mechanism-Based Luminescence Screening.

Three new visible-light-promoted functionalizations of benzotriazole substrates were discovered using a mechanism-based screening method. ortho-Thiolated, borylated, and alkylated N-arylbenzamide products were obtained under mild reaction conditions in a new denitrogenative synthetic approach to functionalized aniline derivatives. The functional group tolerance of the borylation reaction was further analyzed in the first application of an additive-based robustness screen in a photocatalytic transformation. All the functionalizations proceed via photocatalytically initiated chain mechanisms as indicated by determination of the reaction quantum yields and Stern-Volmer analyses.
