Abstract
A novel photoactive NiCl2@g-C3N4 catalyst system, which effectively drives C(sp2)-H/NH bond formation between quinolin-2(1H)-ones, primary and secondary aliphatic amines under blue light irradiation. The NiCl2@g-C3N4 composite with a NiCl2 loading of 0.7wt% had the highest photoactivity, and the calculated band gap energy value is 2.56 eV The nickel ion could act as an electron acceptor enhancing carrier separation and transfer efficiency, greatly enhanced the photoreaction efficiency of g-C3N4. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate upon visible light irradiation, the photo-generated electrons and holes act as oxidants, thereby generating amine radicals in the absence of external chemical oxidants. This provides a straightforward and efficient approach for directly 3-aminating quinoxalines-2(1H)-ones. Moreover, the heterogeneous catalyst can be recycled at least six times without significant activity loss.
