A recyclable organic photoreductant (1 mol % )-catalyzed reductive (pinacol) coupling of aldehydes, ketones, and imines has been developed. Irradiated by purple light (407 nm) using triethylamine as an electron donor, a variety of 1,2-diols and 1,2-diamines could be prepared. The oxidation potential of the excited state of is established as -1.92 V (vs saturated calomel electrode (SCE)). The relative high reductive potential enables the reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds and their derivatives. can be prepared in gram scale and is acid/base- or air-stable. It could be applied in large-scale photoreductive synthesis and recovered in high yield after the reaction.
已开发出一种可回收的有机光还原剂(1 mol%)催化的醛、酮和亚胺的还原(频哪醇)偶联反应。以三乙胺作为电子供体,在紫光(407 nm)照射下,可以制备各种1,2 -二醇和1,2 -二胺。其激发态的氧化电位确定为 -1.92 V(相对于饱和甘汞电极(SCE))。相对较高的还原电位使得羰基化合物及其衍生物能够进行还原偶联。该光还原剂可以以克级规模制备,并且对酸/碱或空气稳定。它可应用于大规模光还原合成,反应后能以高收率回收。
