Direct Near Infrared Light–Activatable Phthalocyanine Catalysts

The high penetration of near-infrared (NIR) light makes it effective for use in selective reactions under light-shielded conditions, such as in sealed reactors and deep tissues. Herein, we report the development of phthalocyanine catalysts directly activa

Cross-dehydrogenative Coupling of N-Aryl Tetrahydroisoquinolines Catalyzed by an Anthraquinone-containing Polymeric Photosensitizer

This work reports the photocatalytic application of an anthraquinone-containing polymeric photosensitizer (AQ-PHEMA) in the visible light-induced cross-dehydrogenative-coupling of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines with several nucleophiles, including nitromethane, 1-methyl-2-alkyl ketone and dialkyl (aryl) phosphine oxide. The results revealed that the reaction could be catalyzed by AQ-PHEMA efficiently to afford a series of 1-substituted-2-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines in good to excellent yields with nice substrate tolerance under aerobic conditions at room temperature. The practical application potential was also showcased by a gram-scale synthesis. More importantly, the utilization of AQ-PHEMA as a heterogeneous photosensitizer also showed nice recyclability and reusability of the catalyst, whereas AQ-PHEMA can be easily separated and reused for at least 8 times without significant loss of photocatalytic activity.

Flowers of the plant genusHypericumas versatile photoredox catalysts

Photoredox catalysis is a powerful and modern strategy for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. So far, this field has relied on the use of a limited range of metal-based chromophores or artificial organic dyes. Here, we show that the ubiquitous plant genusHypericumcan be used as an efficient photoredox catalyst. The dried flowers efficiently catalyze two typical photoredox reactions, a photoreduction and a photooxidation reaction, with a versatile substrate scope. Constitution analysis of the worldwide available plant genus indicated that naphthodianthrones, namely the compounds of the hypericin family, are crucial for the photocatalytic activity of the dried plant material.In situUV-vis spectroelectrochemical methods provide insights into the mechanism of the photoreduction reaction where the radical dianion of hypericin (Hyp˙2?) is the catalytically active species. Our strategy provides a sustainable, efficient and an easy to handle alternative for a variety of visible light induced photocatalytic reactions.

Nickel(II) Tetraphenylporphyrin as an Efficient Photocatalyst Featuring Visible Light Promoted Dual Redox Activities

Nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP) is presented as a robust, cost-effective and efficient visible light induced photoredox catalyst. The ground state electrochemical data (CV) and electronic absorption (UV-Vis) spectra reveal the excited state redox potentials for [NiTPP]*/[NiTPP].? and NiTPP].+/[NiTPP]* couples as +1.17 V and ?1.57 V vs SCE respectively. The potential values represent NiTPP as a more potent photocatalyst compare to the well-explored [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The non-precious photocatalyst exhibits excited state redox reactions in dual fashions, i. e., it is capable of undergoing both oxidative as well as reductive quenching pathways. Such versatility of a photocatalyst based on first-row transition metals is very scarce. This unique phenomenon allows one to perform diverse types of redox reactions by employing a single catalyst. Two different sets of chemical reactions have been performed to represent the synthetic utility. The catalyst showed superior efficiency in both carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. Thus, we believe that NiTPP is a valuable addition to the photocatalyst library and this study will lead to more practical synthetic applications of earth-abundant-metal-based photoredox catalysts.

8-Mercaptoquinoline as a Ligand for Enhancing the Photocatalytic Activity of Pt(II) Coordination Complexes: Reactions and Mechanistic Insights

A family of quinoline-platinum(II) complexes as efficient photocatalysts is presented. Their key characteristic is their easy preparation by coordination of the readily available 8-hydroxy- or 8-thio-quinoline ligands, which are well known for their strong chelating ability to different metal ions. In the different photochemical transformations investigated, such as cross-dehydrogenative coupling, oxidation of arylboronic acids, and asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes, 8-mercaptoquinoline-Pt(II) complex proved to be the most general catalyst. Moreover, quenching experiments showed that, contrary to related methods reported in the literature, these complexes followed an oxidative quenching mechanism in all transformations studied. Besides, simulations performed with high-level ab initio methods of the complexes have helped to understand their photocatalytic activity.
