The invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing the carbonyl compound and the amine compound in a solvent, reacting 3 - 6 under the illumination of 380 - 456 nm, the reaction system is low in toxicity, high in atom utilization rate 12 - 24h. and production efficiency, safe and controllable in reaction process and capable of simplifying the operation in the preparation and production process. At the same time, the residue toxicity of the reaction is minimized, the pollution caused by the production process to the environment is reduced, and the steps and operations of removing residues after the reaction are simplified. In addition, the reactant feedstock is readily available. The reactant does not need additional modification before the reaction, can be directly used for preparing production, simplifies the operation steps, and shortens the reaction route. The production cost is obviously reduced.

Surface reaction kinetics and light absorption properties of a photocatalyst are essential demands for efficiently solar to chemical energy converting. In this study, plasmonic WO3–x was firstly applied to photocatalytic alkylation of arenes under red light irradiation. The oxygen vacancies, both on the surface and in the bulk of WO3–x, allow abundant free electrons to increase carrier densities and support its LSPR using low energy photons. The surface oxygen vacancies have more functions: they not only release surface tungsten sites which ensure the chemisorption of alcohols due to the coordianation ability but also promote the activation of alcohols via an efficient transport of the holes on the neighbouring O sites to chemisorption alcohol species. In brief, the bulk oxygen vacancies provide abundant charges and the surface vacancies promote the bond adsorption and activation abilities, which ensure the high efficiency of photocatalytic alkylation of C–H.

Molecular compounds featuring nitrogen atoms are typically regarded as Lewis bases and are extensively employed as donor ligands in coordination chemistry or as nucleophiles in organic chemistry. By contrast, electrophilic nitrogen-containing compounds are much rarer. Nitrenium cations are a new family of nitrogen-based Lewis acids, the reactivity of which remains largely unexplored. In this work, nitrenium ions are explored as catalysts in five organic transformations. These reactions are the first examples of Lewis acid catalysis employing nitrogen as the site of substrate activation. Moreover, these compounds are readily accessed from commercially available reagents and exhibit remarkable stability toward moisture, allowing for benchtop transformations without the need to pretreat solvents.
