We have successfully
developed a green and efficient multicomponent
reaction protocol to synthesize S-aryl dithiocarbamates
under visible light. Most appealingly, the reaction can proceed smoothly
without adding any transition-metal catalysts, ligands, or photocatalysts
while minimizing chemical wastes and metal residues in the end products.
The advantages of this method meet the requirements of sustainable
and green synthetic chemistry, and it provides a straightforward way
to create valuable S-aryl dithiocarbamates.
After dissolution, a homogeneous carbon nitride photocatalyst showed boosted activity; meanwhile, the hallmarks of heterogeneous catalysts (facile separation and recycling) were retained.
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.
