Visible-light-induced photocatalytic C H arylation-oxidation of vinylarenes: Facile access to (un)symmetrical 1,2-diarylethane-1,2-diones in water

Convenient synthesis of 2-chloro-3-substituted quinoxalines by visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of ortho-diisocyanoarenes with sulfinic acids

“…11 Typically, a dye (catalyst) absorbs the energy of visible-light and uses it to transform reactants into products through routes for either energy transfer or electron transfer. 12 Several visible-light-induced synthetic methods without an external dye (catalyst) have also been developed employing the photochemical activity of different electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes. 13 In fact, last year, our research team published a photocatalyst-free process for producing 6-alkyl(aryl)phenanthridines from isocyanobiaryls and alkyl(aryl)sulfinates under the influence of blue LEDs.…”
