Photoinduced regioselective CH thiocyanation and selenocyanation of arylamines
Herein we report a regioselective oxidative C(sp2)–H thiocyanation/selenocyanation of arylamines using commercially available and inexpensive NaSCN/KSeCN as sulfur/selenium sources. This method employs a non-transition bismuth catalyst under visible-light irradiation, operating through a photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) homolysis mechanism. The transient BiN complex, formed via coordination of the arylamine nitrogen to bismuth, undergoes LMCT-triggered homolytic BiN bond cleavage upon irradiation. This generates a nitrogen-centered radical intermediate that isomerizes to a para-aryl radical via regioselective intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer (HAT). Subsequent radical cross-coupling with thiocyanate/selenocyanate nucleophiles forges CS or CSe bonds with exclusive para-selectivity. The protocol features mild conditions, broad functional group tolerance, and avoids stoichiometric oxidants.
