Published: Sept. 18, 2021

As one of the most ubiquitous bulk reagents available, intrinsic chemical inertness tetrahydrofuran (THF) makes direct and site-selective C(sp3 )-H bond activation difficult, especially under redox neutral condition. Here, we demonstrate that semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can activate α-C-H THF via forming QDs/THF conjugates. Under visible light irradiation, resultant alkoxyalkyl radical directly engages in cross-coupling with α-amino from amino C-H bonds or addition alkene phenylacetylene, respectively. In contrast to stoichiometric oxidant hydrogen atom transfer required previous studies, scalable benchtop approach execute only by a QD photocatalyst redox-neutral condition, thus providing broad value added chemicals starting THFs reagent.
