Quinones catalyzed visible light photoredox synthesis and functionalization of organic compounds

Abstract

Using light to drive chemical reactions is appealing because photons are traceless regents that give energy to activate substrates, regents, or catalytic intermediates under moderate circumstances. Visible-light photoredox catalysis, in particular, has become well-known as a useful techniques in organic synthesis. This thesis consolidates the quinines visible-light photocatalysis for the synthesis of extremely important organic compounds include buta-1,3 diene, phenanthridine-6-carboxylate, trifluoromethylated benzoxazine, and their derivates under mild conditions. In addition, a probable reaction mechanism for their synthesis is also described. newline
