The vernal blooming of green chemistry has contributed to the development of visible light catalysis. Active radical species are generatedf rom catalytic amounts of photosensitizers,such as transition-metal complexes and organic dyes, upon visible light irradiation. Stoichiometrica mounts of oxidants, reductants, and radical initiators are avoidedi n most cases. Thus, reactions proceed under milder conditions with ab roader functional group tolerance than found by other methods. Photoredoxc atalysis has been used to form CÀCa nd CÀX( X= O, N, and S) bonds but is comparably underdeveloped in organophosphorus chemistry.H erein, we summarize advances in photoredox catalysis that involve organophosphorus chemistry.T he synthesis of organophosphorusc ompounds by photoredox catalysis, transition-metal complex/photoredoxd ual catalytic systems, andp hotoredox catalysis with phosphorus organocatalysts are discussed. The shortcomings and possible future trendso ft his chemistry are also presented.Scheme1.Various photocatalysts for the cross-couplingr eactionso ftetrahydroisoquinoline with dialkylphophonates and diaryl phosphine oxides[ ppy = 2phenylpyridine, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, AIBN = azobis(isobutyronitrile), PVA = poly(vinyl alcohol), BTF = benzotrifluoride].Scheme3.Thiophosphite-mediated RATC process to form five-membered ring and C sp 3 ÀPb ond.Scheme2.The mechanism for the photocatalyzed cross-coupling reaction [PC = Ir complex, Au complex, eosin Y, or rose bengal)].Scheme9.Direct CÀHp hosphorylationoft hiazoles in cross-coupling hydrogen evolution reaction and the proposed mechanism.Scheme11.
