Aryl iodide and sulfinic acid salt cross-coupling model reaction used for reaction optimization.
A platform has been developed to enable standardization of light sources, allowing consistent scale‐up from high‐throughput screening in batch to flow, using the same pseudo‐monochromatic light source. The impact of wavelength and light intensity on a photochemical reaction was evaluated within this platform using the Wohl‐Ziegler benzylic bromination of 4‐methyl‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile with N‐bromosuccinimide as a model system. It was found that only 40 % of the maximum light intensity was required while still maintaining reaction rate, allowing more reliable temperature control and lower energy consumption. The optimized reaction conditions were subsequently applied to a range of synthetically relevant (hetero)aromatic compounds under continuous conditions, exploring the scope of the process within a mild and scalable procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
