A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

The rearrangement of selenium ylides is even today almost unexplored, although it would provide access to important organoselenium compounds with broad downstream applications. In this report, the first systematic study of sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of selenium ylides using a simple rhodium catalyst with catalyst loadings as low as 0.01 mol % is described. Selenium oxide pyrolysis of the rearrangement products gives access to important 1,1-disubstituted butadienes.
A novel synthesis of unsymmetrical selenides via the cleavage of Se-Se bond by Sm/cat.CoCl2 system

Promoted by Sm/cat. CoCl2 system, the Se-Se bond of diaryldiselenides was easily cleaved to form a "living" intermediate, which reacted readily with alkyl halides to afford unsymmetrical alkylarylselenides in good yields under mild and neutral reaction conditions.
