Abstract

Let there be light: A heterogeneous photocatalytic system based on easily recyclable TiO 2 or ZnO allows cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions of tertiary amines. The newly developed protocols have successfully been applied to various C-C and C-P bond-forming reactions to provide nitro amines as well as amino ketones, nitriles and phosphonates.
