Benzimidazolium Naphthoxide Betaine Is a Visible Light Promoted Organic Photoredox Catalyst.

TL;DR: Photoexcited state of -ONap-BI+ generated by visible light irradiation catalyzes the reductive deiodination as well as desulfonylation reactions in which 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoline (Ph-BIH) cooperates with as an electron and hydrogen atom donor.

Visible Light and Hydroxynaphthylbenzimidazoline Promoted Transition-Metal-Catalyst-Free Desulfonylation of N-Sulfonylamides and N-Sulfonylamines.

TL;DR: The results of studies employing radical probe substrates as well as DFT calculations suggest that selective nitrogen-sulfur bond cleavage of the substrate radical anion generates either a pair of an amide or amine anion and a sulfonyl radical or that of an amidyl or aminyl radical and sulfinate anion, depending on the nature of the N-substituent on the substrate.

Visible light-promoted reductive transformations of various organic substances by using hydroxyaryl-substituted benzimidazolines and bases

TL;DR: In this paper, single electron transfer from the photoexcited states of benzimidazolines or their deprotonated analogues ( − OAr-DMBIH) to the substrates is proposed to initiate these reactions.
