Visible light-induced organophotoredox-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes and alkynes

Abstract

In the era of organic synthesis, direct difunctionalization strategies of alkenes and alkynes are very eminent, which opened up an excellent route to introduce two functional groups simultaneously. At the...

Photoinduced Single‐Electron Reduction of Alkenes.

“…[1,2] Radicalmediated difunctionalization of alkenes has emerged as a powerful and straightforward strategy to increase molecule complexity. [3][4][5][6][7] This approach enables the insertion of two new functional groups across the double bond in a single step, allowing the construction of highly functionalized molecules with high atom-and step-economic efficiency. Continual efforts have been made in this field and great progress has been achieved, particularly in the past two decades.…”

Electrochemical and photochemical reaction of isatins: a decade update

“…2,3 The advancement of new approaches to prepare these medicinally important molecules with zero waste could be an important agenda among synthetic organic chemists. In this regard, electro- 4 and photochemical 5 techniques are recognized as one of the energy-efficient and environment-friendly approaches as they use electrons or photons as activators and do not produce any harmful waste. In recent years extensive research has been done on the electro- and photochemical functionalization of isatins; however, no review exists for the electrochemical functionalization of isatins.…”

Photochemical and Electrochemical Synthesis of Oxazoles and Isoxazoles: An Update

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18] Therefore, synthesis of these two crucial heterocyclic compounds using various green and sustainable methodologies has garnered significant enthusiasm within the community of synthetic organic chemists. [19] In this regard, photochemical [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] and electrochemical [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] techniques are considered as one of the most energy-efficient and environment-friendly approaches as they use photon or electron as activators and do not produce harmful waste. In recent years, extensive research has been done on photochemical and electrochemical synthesis of oxazoles.…”

“…In spite of these extensive reports, there is no review exist for electrochemical and/or photochemical synthesis of oxazoles and isoxazoles. In continuation to our efforts on photochemical [27][28][29][51][52][53][54][55][56] and electrochemical [45][46][57][58] synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles, we wish to report herein a comprehensive review on photochemical and electrochemical synthesis of oxazole and isoxazoles. In this review, we have highlighted all the recent references on photochemical and electrochemical synthesis of oxazoles as well as isoxazoles.…”
