Visible-light-mediated green synthesis of tertiary alcohols from dicarbonyl compounds and arylamines in water

Abstract

Green organic synthesis mediated by visible-light chemistry is highly desired in the academia and industry. Aqueous phase is undoubtedly the most environmentally friendly medium. We report herein a mild and...

Poly(ionic liquid)s: an emerging platform for green chemistry

“…Converting to carbon materials. Carbon materials usually feature a large surface area with open pore structures, excellent chemical stability, and abundant oxygen-containing surface functionalities, exhibiting great promise in many areas, such as gas adsorption, energy storage and conversion, 247,253,254 catalysis, and water treatment. In particular, the introduction of heteroatoms (such as N) to form doped carbon has been demonstrated to be a versatile tool for boosting the application performance of carbon materials.…”

Lighting the way to diverse cyclic architectures: expanding the horizons with photogenerated ketenes in sustainable chemistry

“…1–3 Harnessing this powerful energy source significantly drives scientific advancements, particularly in synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. 4–6 In recent years, visible-light-mediated synthetic chemistry has unlocked unconventional bond formation and elusive chemical processes under mild conditions. 7–9 However, this method often demands photocatalysts, increasing system complexity and costs due to the continuous consumption of precious metals and corresponding additives.…”

Accelerated photochemical reactions at oil-water interface exploiting melting point depression

“…Photochemistry has become a pivotal methodology in advancing organic synthesis ( 23 – 28 ). However, the use of pure water as a solvent for photochemical transformations has received limited attention to date.…”
