Photoredox-Mediated Routes to Radicals: The Value of Catalytic Radical Generation in Synthetic Methods Development

ACS Catalysis, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 7(4), P. 2563 - 2575

Published: March 14, 2017

Photoredox catalysis has experienced a revitalized interest from the synthesis community during past decade. For example, photoredox/Ni dual protocols have been developed to overcome several inherent limitations of palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings by invoking single-electron transmetalation pathway. This Perspective highlights advances made our laboratory since inception cross-coupling benzyltrifluoroborates with aryl bromides. In addition broadening scope trifluoroborate coupling partners, research using readily oxidized hypervalent silicates as radical precursors that demonstrate functional group compatibility is highlighted. The pursuit electrophilic partners beyond (hetero)aryl bromides also led incorporation new classes C(sp2)-hybridized substrates into light-mediated cross-coupling. Advances expand toolbox utilizing feedstock chemicals (e.g., aldehydes) access radicals were previously inaccessible trifluoroborates and are emphasized. Additionally, organic photocatalysts investigated replacements for their expensive iridium- ruthenium-based counterparts. Lastly, net C–H functionalization partner in an effort improve atom economy presented. An underlying theme all these studies value generating catalytic manner, rather than stoichiometrically.

Photons or Electrons? A Critical Comparison of Electrochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis for Organic Synthesis

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 122(2), P. 2487 - 2649

Published: Nov. 9, 2021

Redox processes are at the heart of synthetic methods that rely on either electrochemistry or photoredox catalysis, but how do and catalysis compare? Both approaches provide access to high energy intermediates (e.g., radicals) enable bond formations not constrained by rules ionic 2 electron (e) mechanisms. Instead, they 1e mechanisms capable bypassing electronic steric limitations protecting group requirements, thus enabling chemists disconnect molecules in new different ways. However, while providing similar intermediates, differ several physical chemistry principles. Understanding those differences can be key designing transformations forging disconnections. This review aims highlight these similarities between comparing their underlying principles describing impact electrochemical photochemical methods.
