Flow photochemistry: Old light through new windows
TLDR
This review highlights the use of flow reactors in organic photochemistry, allowing a comparison of the various reactor types to be made.Abstract:
Synthetic photochemistry carried out in classic batch reactors has, for over half a century, proved to be a powerful but under-utilised technique in general organic synthesis. Recent developments in flow photochemistry have the potential to allow this technique to be applied in a more mainstream setting. This review highlights the use of flow reactors in organic photochemistry, allowing a comparison of the various reactor types to be made.read more

Metal‐Free, Cooperative Asymmetric Organophotoredox Catalysis with Visible Light
TL;DR: The dawn of old stars: Classic xanthene dyes like eosin Y (gr. eoς=goddess of dawn) and green-light irradiation can replace precious metal complexes for the organocatalytic asymmetric -alkylation of aldehydes rendering the process purely organic.
