Photoredox Catalysis by Phosphorus(V)-Corrole: α-Functionalization of Aldehydes in both Batch and Continuous Flow Conditions.
A2B-type P(V)-corroles were synthesized with push-pull meso-aryl substituents to examine their photocatalytic application for C-C bond formation in both batch and flow conditions. The developed protocol requires only 0.25 mol % catalyst to synthesize β-formyl esters in high yields (up to 90%). Remarkably, the reaction...
