Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

A fundamental aim in the field of catalytic synthesis is the development of new modes of small molecule activation. One approach toward this target that has received much attention recently is light-driven photoredox catalysis. In a general sense, this approach relies on the ability of photocatalysts to engage in electron or energy transfer processes with organic substrates upon photoexcitation. In this Special Issue, we focus our attention on the photocatalysts applied in organic synthesis to discuss different functions and activation modes of diverse kinds of photocatalysts, such as transition-metal complexes, organic dyes, MOFs, COFs, POMs, perovskites, zeolites, metal nanoparticles, etc.

Abstract
An efficient acylation/cyclization reaction of 6-acyl phenanthridines with oxime esters using photoredox catalysis has been developed. This radical acyl transfer strategy enables a facile access to acyl-substituted phenanthridines with good yield and excellent selectivity. The developed method is redox neutral and has broad [...] Read more.

The glycine motif is widely prevalent in bioactive peptides. Thus, the direct and precise modification of glycine derivatives has attracted significant attention over the past few decades. Among various protocols for the modification of glycine derivatives, the visible-light-driven direct α-C(sp3)–H bond functionalization of glycine derivatives has emerged as a powerful tool to achieve this objective, owing to its merits in atom economy, selectivity, reaction simplicity, and sustainability. This review summarizes the recent advancements in visible-light-driven direct α-C(sp3)–H bond functionalization of glycine derivatives. The contents of this review are organized based on the photocatalysts employed and the various reaction modes in the functionalization process. The mechanism, the challenges encountered, and future trends are also discussed, enabling readers to understand the current developmental status in this field. Full article

Alkenes and their related analogs are ideal starting materials for organic synthesis, and the selective difunctionalization of alkenes, which allows the simultaneous introduction of two neighboring bonds, has gained considerable attention in recent years. In particular, the photoredox-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes has also been accomplished, which has been regarded as an increasingly powerful tool for the synthesis of miscellaneous interesting molecular scaffolds in an environmentally benign and economical manner. Several exquisite strategies have been developed to facilitate this transformation, such as photosensitizer-catalyzed redox reactions, electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes-mediated photoreactions, and atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions. This literature review briefly describes the most recent key progress on the photoredox-catalyzed 1,2-difunctionalization of various structurally diverse alkenes, including 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization, 1,2-carboheterofunctionalization, and 1,2-diheterofunctionalization, with a special emphasis on the mechanistic details.

Fluorine-containing functional groups are important motifs influencing physical and biological properties of organic compounds. Visible-light photoredox catalysis as a powerful strategy for the activation of small molecules contributed significantly to the rapid progress of new synthetic procedures allowing introduction of fluorine atoms into organic substrates. In this review, we highlight the distinct strategies for transition metal- and organic-photocatalytic fluorination of arenes and heteroarenes by a broad range of fluorinating compounds. The presented procedures are divided into two groups. The first group involves the reactions enabling a direct attachment of CF3-, CnFm-, F-, CF3O-, CF3S-, and SO2F- substituents to various aromatic compounds. The second group presents the tandem reactions where the formation of the aromatic system occurs after installation of the fluorine-containing group on the non-aromatic fragment of the molecule.
