With both ferrocene and air as the redox catalysts, for the first time, the low-cost natural ilmenite (FeTiO3) was successfully used for photocatalytic bond formations. Under the assistance of a traceless H-bond, and HCHO as the methylene reagent, a variety of imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxalinones were semi-heterogeneously photosynthesized in high yields w...
