Abstract

Hybrid catalyst systems to achieve acceptorless dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles and tetrahydronaphthalenes-model substrates for liquid organic hydrogen carriers-were developed. A binary hybrid catalysis comprising an acridinium photoredox catalyst and a Pd metal catalyst was effective for the dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles, whereas a ternary hybrid catalysis comprising an acridinium photoredox catalyst, a Pd metal catalyst, and a thiophosphoric imide organocatalyst achieved dehydrogenation of tetrahydronaphthalenes. These hybrid catalyst systems allowed for 2 molar equiv of H2 gas release from six-membered N-heterocycles and tetrahydronaphthalenes under mild conditions, i.e., visible light irradiation at rt. The combined use of two or three different catalyst types was essential for the catalytic activity.
