Here, an efficient catalytic protocol for direct C-H bond arylation of anilides under base- and external oxidant-free conditions is reported. This reaction proceeds readily at room temperature using CO2-derived dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a green solvent under visible-light dual catalysis. Later, application of our strategy for the gram-scale synthesis of Boscalid has been successfully shown. An unprecedented unsymmetrical bis-arylation of anilides is also demonstrated under mild, redox-neutral conditions.

The development of robust catalytic systems based on basemetals for reversible acceptorless dehydrogenation (ADH) and hydrogenation of feedstock chemicals is very important in the context of {\textquoteleft} hydrogen storage{\textquoteright}. Herein, we report a highly efficient reusable cobalt-based heterogeneous catalyst for reversible dehydrogenation and hydrogenation of N-heterocycles. Both the ADH and the hydrogenation processes operate under mild, benign conditions.
