- Abstract
- 9-(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)-10-methylacridinium perchlorate ([Acr+-Xyl]ClO4-), 9-(4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-10-methylacridinium perchlorate ([Acr+-XylCl]ClO4-), and 9-(4-fluoro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-10-methylacridinium perchlorate ([Acr+-XylF]ClO4-) were synthesized by the Grignard reaction. The one-electron reduction potentials (Ered vs SCE) of Acr+-Xyl, Acr+-XylCl, and Acr+-XylF in deaerated acetonitrile (MeCN) were determined by cyclic voltammetry to be nearly the same as −0.55, −0.53, and −0.53 V, respectively. On the other hand, the one-electron oxidation potentials (Eox vs SCE) of Acr+-Xyl, Acr+-XylF, and Acr+-XylCl were determined by the second-harmonic alternative current voltammetric method to be +2.15, +2.20, and +2.21 V, respectively. The Eox value of Acr+-XylCl is higher than the Eox value of toluene (+2.20 V). Thus, photocatalytic oxygenation of toluene with oxygen occurs efficiently via electron transfer from toluene to the XylCl•+ moiety of the triplet electron-transfer state of Acr+-XylCl under photoirradiation of Acr+-XylCl in oxygen-saturated MeCN. By contrast, no oxygenation of toluene occurred with the 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+-Mes) used as a photocatalyst due to the lack of oxidizing ability to oxidize toluene. The metal-free trifluoromethylation of toluene derivatives has also been made possible by using Acr+-XylCl as a photocatalyst and S-(trifluoromethyl)dibenzothiophenium (CF3DBT+) as a trifluoromethyl source. The photocatalytic reaction mechanism was clarified by transient absorption and electrochemical measurements. © 2024 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society.
