Organic sponge photocatalysis†
Abstract
The successfully developed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, a green and highly transparent polymer material) sponge photocatalyst can catalyze cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of tertiary amines and various nucleophiles with high efficiency and reusability under visible light irradiation. Through an easy-to-build continuous flow reactor, the sponge photocatalytic reaction can be facilely scaled up.
