Photoredox-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Csp3-Csp2Cross-Coupling of Alkylarenes to Aldehydes in Flow

Executing photoredox reactions in flow offers solutions to frequently encountered issues regarding reproducibility, reaction time, and scale-up. Here, we report the transfer of a photoredox-catalyzed benzylic coupling of alkylarenes to aldehydes to a flow chemistry setting leading to improvements in terms of higher concentration, shorter residence times, better yields, ease of catalyst preparation, and enhanced substrate scope. Its applicability has been demonstrated by a multi-gram-scale reaction using high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs), late-stage functionalization of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and also a photocatalyst recycling method.

Tetraaryl Cyclopentadienones: Experimental and Theoretical Insights into Negative Solvatochromism and Electrochemistry

The synthesis of a series of tetraaryl cyclopentadienones comprising different substitution patterns is reported. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties are investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry as well as by supporting quantum chemical simulations and reveal a distinct effect of substituents on the redox behavior of the molecules as well as the absorption properties of this class of compounds. While electrochemical data display a shift in reduction potential of up to 200 mV between the differently substituted cyclopentadienones, their photophysical investigations in differently polar solvents suggest a negative solvatochromic effect, although protic solvents induce a bathochromic shift. Crystal structure analyses of some derivatives confirm similarity with related cyclopentadienones while providing insight into intermolecular C–H···O and C–H···π interactions in the solid state.
