3/16/2021 – Congratulations to Karina and Oliver on their work repurposing PTH, a common photoreductant, into a potent photooxidant using O2 and a Lewis acid co-catalyst. Out in JACS now!
We describe a photocatalytic system that reveals latent photooxidant behavior from one of the most reducing conventional photoredox catalysts, N-phenylphenothiazine (PTH). This aerobic photochemical reaction engages difficult to oxidize feedstocks, such as benzene, in C(sp2)–N coupling …
