In this review, we highlight the use of organic photoredox catalysts in a myriad of synthetic transformations with a range of applications. This overview is arranged by catalyst class where the photophysics and electrochemical characteristics of each is discussed to underscore the differences and advantages to each type of single electron redox agent. We highlight both net reductive and oxidative as well as redox neutral transformations that can be accomplished using purely organic photoredox-active catalysts. An overview of the basic photophysics and electron transfer theory is presented in order to provide a comprehensive guide for employing this class of catalysts in photoredox manifolds.

“…Studies by Fukuzumi 12 and Yoshida 20 have demonstrated the utility of computational methods to explain the regioselectivity for a few selected examples of aryl bromination and amination reactions, respectively, that proceed via cation radicals. However, both of these reports focused on simple benzenoid substrates.…”

Direct C–H functionalization of aromatic compounds is a useful synthetic strategy that has garnered much attention because of its application to pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and late-stage functionalization reactions on complex molecules. On the basis of previous methods disclosed by our lab, we sought to develop a predictive model for site selectivity and extend this aryl functionalization chemistry to a selected set of heteroaromatic systems commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. Using electron density calculations, we were able to predict the site selectivity of direct C–H functionalization in a number of heterocycles and identify general trends observed across heterocycle classes.

The catalytic durability of an organic photocatalyst, 9-mesityl-10-methyl acridinium ion (Acr+–Mes), has been dramatically improved by the addition of [{tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}-CuII](ClO4)2 ([(tmpa)CuII]2+) in the photocatalytic oxygenation of p-xylene by molecular oxygen in acetonitrile. Such an improvement is not observed by the addition of Cu(ClO4)2 in the absence of organic ligands. The addition of [(tmpa)Cu]2+ in the reaction solution resulted in more than an 11 times higher turnover number (TON) compared with the TON obtained without [(tmpa)CuII]2+. In the photocatalytic oxygenation, a stoichiometric amount of H2O2 formation was observed in the absence of [(tmpa)CuII]2+, however, much less H2O2 formation was observed in the presence of [(tmpa)CuII]2+. The photocatalytic mechanism was investigated by laser flash photolysis measurements in order to detect intermediates. The reaction of O2˙− with [(tmpa)CuII]2+ monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy in propionitrile at 203 K suggested formation of [{(tmpa)CuII}2O2]2+, a transformation which is crucial for the overall 4-electron reduction of molecular O2 to water, and a key in the observed improvement in the catalytic durability of Acr+–Mes.
