Abstract
This review covers photoreduction reactions using xanthenes reported from 2011 to date and compares
them with the conventional photocatalytic method. Xanthenes have strong absorption in the visible light
spectrum (520-550nm), and their redox potential resembles organometallic complexes, such as those containing
Ir or Ru, and they are also easy to handle and accessible. In addition to being metal-free, photocatalysis with
xanthenes is performed under mild reaction conditions. For instance, no radical initiators are needed because the
energy sources are led devices or household lamps, most reactions are performed at room temperature in common
solvents (MeOH, MeCN, acetone, DMSO), and an anhydrous or inert atmosphere is usually not required.
As a result, xanthene dyes hold the promise of a more environmentally friendly synthesis of organic compounds.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
