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.

Photochemical and Electrochemical Applications of Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Organic Synthesis

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 122(2), P. 2017 - 2291

Published: Nov. 23, 2021

We present here a review of the photochemical and electrochemical applications multi-site proton-coupled electron transfer (MS-PCET) in organic synthesis. MS-PCETs are redox mechanisms which both an proton exchanged together, often concerted elementary step. As such, MS-PCET can function as non-classical mechanism for homolytic bond activation, providing opportunities to generate synthetically useful free radical intermediates directly from wide variety common functional groups. introduction practitioner’s guide reaction design, with emphasis on unique energetic selectivity features that characteristic this class. then chapters oxidative N–H, O–H, S–H, C–H homolysis methods, generation corresponding neutral species.

We describe a new catalytic strategy to transcend the energetic limitations of visible light by electrochemically priming photocatalyst prior excitation. This system is able productively engage aryl chlorides with reduction potentials hundreds millivolts beyond potential Na0 in productive radical coupling reactions. The radicals produced via this can be leveraged for both carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming Through direct comparison, we illustrate reactivity selectivity advantages approach relative electrolysis photoredox catalysis.
