Journal ArticleDOI
Organic Photoredox Catalysis
TL;DR: An overview of the basic photophysics and electron transfer theory is presented in order to provide a comprehensive guide for employing this class of catalysts in photoredox manifolds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Site-selective arene C-H amination via photoredox catalysis
TL;DR: A blueprint for aromatic carbon-hydrogen functionalization via photoredox catalysis is presented and the utility of this strategy for arene amination is described, including the atom-economical use of ammonia to form anilines, without the need for prefunctionalization of the aromatic component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and Calculated Electrochemical Potentials of Common Organic Molecules for Applications to Single-Electron Redox Chemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, the half-peak potentials for over 180 organic substrates obtained via cyclic voltammetry were reported and used in assessing the thermodynamics of an electron-transfer process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic insight into the photoredox catalysis of anti-markovnikov alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions.
TL;DR: The efforts to understand the key mechanistic aspects of the previously reported alkene hydrofunctionalization reactions using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium (Mes-Acr+) as a photoredox catalyst are described and phenylthiyl radical is confirmed to be capable of oxidizing the persistent acridinyl radical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic Photoredox Catalysis
TL;DR: In this article, the use of organic photoredox catalysts in a myriad of synthetic transformations with a range of applications is discussed, and an overview of the basic photophysics and electron transfer theory is presented in order to provide a comprehensive guide for employing this class of catalysts.
