Advances in photocatalytic deracemization reactions

Metal-Free Divergent Synthesis of Dithiophosphinates and Phosphine Sulfides via Photocatalytic Multicomponent Reactions.

A photocatalytic multicomponent reaction has been developed for the synthesis of dithiophosphinates with exclusive anti-Markovnikov selectivity and 100% atom economy, using the easily-available Rhodamine 6G (RhB 6G) as the photocatalyst. This method enables the one-pot construction of S-C-P=S four chemical bonds from e...

An optimized and sustainable Brønsted acid-catalyzed green synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives

An efficient and sustainable protocol has been developed for the synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives through a one-pot Hantzsch-type multicomponent reaction using pentafluorophenyl-ammonium triflate (PFPAT) as a recyclable Brønsted acid catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Under the optimized reaction condit...

Use of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds as Electrophotocatalysts in Organic Reactions

Electrophotocatalysis is the latest offshoot of two of the most innovative synthetic approaches in modern organic chemistry: on one hand, photoredox catalysis, which harnesses light to activate small molecules and construct new carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds; and on the other, electrochemistry, which allows...
