An efficient visible light-promoted C(sp3)–H functionalization of alkyl arylacetates has been developed using CS2 and amines by eosin Y/I2 dual catalysis to achieve the formation of S-benzyl dithiocarbamate acetates.
A visible light-induced oxidative esterification reaction of mandelic acid with alcohols has been developed for the synthesis of α-ketoesters.
A sustainable visible-light-driven protocol for the regioselective mono-halogenation of 1-substituted-3-arylquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones has been developed.
An iodine-photoredox dual catalyzed radical cascade cyclization reaction of α-diazoesters has been developed. This approach unlocks the bifunctional reactivity of α-diazoesters, enabling them to serve both as radical precursors and trappers.
In search for the perfect wave(length). This review is dedicated to recent efforts in the development of visible light driven photochemical strategies occurring in coloured organic compounds.
