Photocatalytic C–N bond construction toward high-value nitrogenous chemicals

Abstract

The construction of carbon-nitrogen bonds is vital for producing versatile nitrogenous compounds for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Among developed synthetic approaches to nitrogenous chemicals, photocatalysis is particularly prominent and...

Quantifying flattening distortion on the thermodynamics and kinetics of electron transfers of Cu(i) photoredox catalysts

“…Visible-light photoredox catalysis has revolutionized organic synthesis by enabling the activation of small molecules, transforming photonic energy into chemical energy. 1,2 In the last decade, it has been used in the synthesis of various industrially and medicinally relevant compounds, [3][4][5][6][7][8] as well as promoting different types of reactions such as C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation, [9][10][11][12][13][14] dehydrogenation, 15 C-H functionalization, 16,17 polyfluoroarylation, 18 atom transfer radical additions, 14,19 H 2 evolution, 20,21 and CO 2 reduction. 22 Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes (e.g., [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ , (bpy = 2,2′bipyridine)) and Ir(III) phenylpyridine ( ppy) complexes (e.g., Ir ( ppy) 3 ) still dominate the field given their notable photophysical and photochemical properties.…”
