Beil SB, Bonnet S, Casadevall C, Detz RJ, Eisenreich F, Glover SD, Kerzig C, Næsborg L, Pullen S, Storch G, Wei N, Zeymer C. Challenges and Future Perspectives in Photocatalysis: Conclusions from an Interdisciplinary Workshop. JACS AU 2024; 4:2746-2766. [PMID: 39211583 PMCID: PMC11350580 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.4c00527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Photocatalysis is a versatile and rapidly developing field with applications spanning artificial photosynthesis, photo-biocatalysis, photoredox catalysis in solution or supramolecular structures, utilization of abundant metals and organocatalysts, sustainable synthesis, and plastic degradation. In this Perspective, we summarize conclusions from an interdisciplinary workshop of young principal investigators held at the Lorentz Center in Leiden in March 2023. We explore how diverse fields within photocatalysis can benefit from one another. We delve into the intricate interplay between these subdisciplines, by highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities presented by each field and how a multidisciplinary approach can drive innovation and lead to sustainable solutions for the future. Advanced collaboration and knowledge exchange across these domains can further enhance the potential of photocatalysis. Artificial photosynthesis has become a promising technology for solar fuel generation, for instance, via water splitting or CO2 reduction, while photocatalysis has revolutionized the way we think about assembling molecular building blocks. Merging such powerful disciplines may give rise to efficient and sustainable protocols across different technologies. While photocatalysis has matured and can be applied in industrial processes, a deeper understanding of complex mechanisms is of great importance to improve reaction quantum yields and to sustain continuous development. Photocatalysis is in the perfect position to play an important role in the synthesis, deconstruction, and reuse of molecules and materials impacting a sustainable future. To exploit the full potential of photocatalysis, a fundamental understanding of underlying processes within different subfields is necessary to close the cycle of use and reuse most efficiently. Following the initial interactions at the Lorentz Center Workshop in 2023, we aim to stimulate discussions and interdisciplinary approaches to tackle these challenges in diverse future teams.

Ind Eng Chem Res 2024; 63:13709-13722. [PMID: 39130744 PMCID: PMC11311132 DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.4c01933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
Additive-controlled crystallization is a promising method to improve crystal morphology and produce solid drug particles with the desired technological and pharmacological properties. However, its adaptation to continuous operation is a hardly researched area. Accordingly, in this work, we aimed to come up with a methodology that provides the systematic and fast development of a continuous three-stage MSMPR cascade crystallizer. For that, a cooling crystallization of famotidine (FMT) from water, in the presence of a formulation additive, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP-K12), was developed. Process parameters with a significant impact on product quality and quantity were examined in batch mode through a 24-1 fractional factorial design for the implementation of additive-controlled continuous crystallization. These batch experiments represented one residence time of the continuous system. Based on the statistical analysis, the residence time (RT) had the highest effect on yield, while the polymer amount was critical from the product polymorphism, crystal size, and flowability points of view. The values of critical process parameters in continuous operation were fixed according to the batch results. Two continuous cooling crystallization experiments were carried out, one with 1.25 w/wFMT% PVP-K12 and one with no additive. A mixture of FMT polymorphs (Form A and Form B) crystallized without the additive through five residence times (>6.5 h) with 70.8% overall yield. On the other hand, the additive-controlled continuous experiment resulted pure and homogeneous Form A product with excellent flowability. The system could be operated for >6.5 h without clogging with a 71.1% overall yield and a 4-fold improvement in productivity compared to its batch equivalent.

Abstract
Naturally occurring and readily available α-hydroxy carboxylic acids (AHAs) are utilized as platforms for visible light-mediated oxidative CO2-extrusion furnishing α-hydroxy radicals proved to be versatile C1 to Cn hydroxyalkylating agents. The direct decarboxylative Giese reaction (DDGR) is operationally simple, not requiring activator or sacrificial oxidants, and enables the synthesis of a diverse range of hydroxylated products, introducing connectivity typically precluded from conventional polar domains. Notably, the methodology has been extended to widely used glycolic acid resulting in a highly efficient and unprecedented C1 hydroxyhomologation tactic. The use of flow technology further facilitates scalability and adds green credentials to this synthetic methodology.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e31309.

Abstract
In the study of photocatalytic and photoactivated processes and devices a tight control on the illumination conditions is mandatory. The practical challenges in the determination of the necessary photonic quantities pose serious difficulties in the characterization of catalytic performance and reactor designs and configurations, compromising an effective comparison between different experiments. To overcome these limitations, we have designed and constructed a new illumination system based in the concept of the integrating sphere (IS). The system provides uniform and isotropic illumination on the sample, either in batch or continuous flow modes, being these characteristics independent of the sample geometry. It allows direct, non-contact and real time determination of the photonic quantities as well as versatile control on the irradiance values and its spectral characteristics. It can be also scaled up to admit samples of different sizes without affecting its operational behaviour. The performance of the IS system has been determined in comparison with a second illumination system, mounted on an optical bench, that provides quasi-parallel beam (QPB) nearly uniform illumination in tightly controlled conditions. System performance is studied using three sample geometries: a standard quartz cuvette, a thin straight tube and a microreactor by means of potassium ferrioxalate actinometry. Results indicate that the illumination geometry and the angular distribution of the incoming light greatly affect the absorption at the sample. The sample light absorption efficiency can be obtained with statistical uncertainties of about 3% and in very good agreement with theoretical estimations.

Abstract
We report a mild, catalytic method for the intermolecular reductive coupling of feedstock dienes and styrenes with ketones. Our conditions allow concomitant formation of a cobalt hydride species and single-electron reduction of ketones. Subsequent selective hydrogen-atom transfer from the cobalt hydride generates an allylic radical which can selectively couple with the persistent radical-anion of the ketone. This radical-radical coupling negates unfavourable steric interactions of ionic pathways and avoids the unstable alkoxy radical of previous radical olefin-carbonyl couplings, which were limited, as a result, to aldehydes. Applications of this novel and straightforward approach include the efficient synthesis of drug molecules, key intermediates in drug synthesis and site-selective late-stage functionalisation.

Abstract
Dihydroquinazolinone (DHQZ) has recently been harnessed as a ketone-derived pro-aromatic reagent extensively employed in (metalla)photoredox reactions as versatile group transfer agents. In this work, we outline a column chromatography-free protocol for the multigram-scale synthesis of pro-aromatic DHQZs as well as its use in a gram-scale nickel/photoredox dual-catalyzed cross-coupling in single-batch, photoflow, and simultaneous multiple smaller batches. While the single-batch approach leveraged moderate yields, a simple plug-flow photoreactor also exhibited amenable productivity (up to 45 % yield) despite the use of a heterogeneous base. Meanwhile, performing the metallaphotoredox-catalyzed reaction in multiple smaller batches in an improvised photoreactor facilitated high yields of up to 59 % and good reproducibility, implying a convenient alternative in the absence of photoflow setups.

Abstract
Photoredox-mediated metal-free ring-opening metathesis polymerization (MF-ROMP) is a convenient metal-free method to produce a variety of ROMP polymers. Transitioning MF-ROMP from a batch to a continuous flow process has yet to be demonstrated and could potentially benefit the production efficiency, safety, and modularity of reaction conditions. We designed and evaluated continuous flow and droplet flow setups and compared the results for MF-ROMP across a short series of common monomers. By using the droplet flow reactor setup, we achieved flow conversions comparable to that of batch and circumvented issues with diffusion-limited mixing and air exposure.

Abstract
The transfer from batch to flow chemistry is often based on commercial microfluidic equipment, such as costly complete reactor systems, which cannot be easily tailored to specific requirements of technologies such as DNA-encoded library technology (DELT), in particular for increasingly important photochemical reactions. Customized photoreactor concepts using rapid prototyping technology offer a modular, flexible, and affordable design that allows for adaptation to various applications. In order to validate the prototype reactors, a photochemical pinacol coupling reaction at 368 nm was conducted to demonstrate the transfer from batch to flow chemistry. The conversion rates were optimized by adapting the design parameters of the microfluidic flow photoreactor module. Subsequently, the photoreactor module has been extended to an application with DNA-tagged substrates by switching to LEDs with a wavelength of 454 nm. The successful recovery of DNA confirmed the feasibility of the modular-designed flow photo reactor. This collaborative approach holds enormous potential to drive the development of DELT and flow equipment design.

Abstract
From the start of a synthetic chemist's training, experiments are conducted based on recipes from textbooks and manuscripts that achieve clean reaction outcomes, allowing the scientist to develop practical skills and some chemical intuition. This procedure is often kept long into a researcher's career, as new recipes are developed based on similar reaction protocols, and intuition-guided deviations are conducted through learning from failed experiments. However, when attempting to understand chemical systems of interest, it has been shown that model-based, algorithm-based, and miniaturized high-throughput techniques outperform human chemical intuition and achieve reaction optimization in a much more time- and material-efficient manner; this is covered in detail in this paper. As many synthetic chemists are not exposed to these techniques in undergraduate teaching, this leads to a disproportionate number of scientists that wish to optimize their reactions but are unable to use these methodologies or are simply unaware of their existence. This review highlights the basics, and the cutting-edge, of modern chemical reaction optimization as well as its relation to process scale-up and can thereby serve as a reference for inspired scientists for each of these techniques, detailing several of their respective applications.

Abstract
Homogeneous organic photocatalysis typically requires molecular photosensitizers absorbing in the ultraviolet-visible (UV/vis) region, because UV/vis photons possess the sufficient energy to excite those one-photon-absorbing photosensitizers to the desired excited states. However, UV/vis light irradiation has many potential limitations, especially for large-scale applications, such as low penetration through reaction media, competing absorption by substrates and co-catalysts, and incompatibility with substrates bearing light-sensitive functionalities. In fact, these drawbacks can be effectively avoided if near infrared (NIR) photons can be utilized to drive the target reactions. Herein, we report two benzothiazole-derived compounds as novel two-photon-absorbing (TPA) organic photosensitizers, which can function under NIR light irradiation using inexpensive LED as the light source. We demonstrate that by judicially modulating the donor-π-acceptor-π-donor-conjugated structure containing a bibenzothiazole core and imine bridges, excellent two-photon absorption capability in the NIR region can be achieved, approaching 2000 GM at 850 nm. Together with large quantum yields (∼0.5), these benzothiazole-derived TPA organic photosensitizers exhibit excellent performance in driving various O2-involved organic reactions upon irradiation at 850 nm, showing great penetration depth, superior to that upon blue light irradiation. A suite of photophysical and computational studies were performed to shed light on the underlying electronic states responsible for the observed TPA capability. Overall, this work highlights the promise of developing Ru/Ir-free organic photosensitizers operative in the NIR region by taking advantage of the two-photon absorption mechanism.

Abstract
Piperazines are important heterocycles in drug compounds. We report the asymmetric synthesis of arylpiperazines by photocatalytic decarboxylative arylation (metallaphotoredox catalysis) then kinetic resolution using n-BuLi/(+)-sparteine. This gave a range of piperazines with very high enantioselectivities. Further functionalizations gave enantioenriched 2,2-disubstituted piperazines, and either N-substituent can be removed selectively. Late-stage functionalizations of enantioenriched piperazine derivatives were demonstrated, including synthesis of a drug compound with glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β inhibitor activity with potential for treating Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Herein, we report a rapid and scalable continuous-flow photocatalytic approach for the carbamoylation of nitrones. This protocol makes use of readily available 4-amido-1,4 dihydropyridines as carbamoyl radical precursors. The scope of this transformation exhibits high compatibility with complex structures containing amino acids, peptides, and glycosides. Importantly, the developed method allows a photocatalytic synthetic strategy in combination with flow conditions, maximizing the potential and efficiency for the synthesis of valuable α-(N-hydroxy)amino amides.

Abstract
Aryl amination is an essential transformation for medicinal, process, and materials chemistry. In addition to classic Buchwald-Hartwig amination conditions, blue-light-driven metallaphotoredox catalysis has emerged as a valuable tool for C-N cross-coupling. However, blue light suffers from low penetration through reaction media, limiting its scalability for industrial purposes. In addition, blue light enhances unwanted side-product formation in metallaphotoredox catalysis, namely hydrodehalogenation. Low-energy light, such as deep red (DR) or near-infrared (NIR), offers a solution to this problem as it can provide enhanced penetration through reaction media as compared to higher-energy wavelengths. Herein, we show that low-energy light can also enhance the desired reactivity in metallaphotoredox catalysis by suppressing unwanted hydrodehalogenation. We hypothesize that the reduced side product is formed by direct photolysis of the aryl-nickel bond by the high-energy light, leading to the generation of aryl radicals. Using deep-red or near-infrared light and an osmium photocatalyst, we demonstrate an enhanced scope of (hetero)aryl bromides and amine-based nucleophiles with minimal formation of hydrodehalogenation byproducts.

Abstract
Nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions are becoming increasingly important in organic synthesis, but application at scale is limited by three interconnected challenges: a reliance on amide solvents (complicated workup, regulated), the generation of stoichiometric Zn salts (complicated isolation, waste disposal issue), and mixing/activation challenges of zinc powder. We show here an electrochemical approach that addresses these three issues: the reaction works in acetonitrile with diisopropylethylamine as the terminal reductant in a simple undivided cell (graphite(+)/nickel foam(-)). The reaction utilizes a combination of two ligands, 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4',4''-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine. Studies show that, alone, the bipyridine nickel catalyst predominantly forms protodehalogenated aryl and aryl dimer, whereas the terpyridine nickel catalyst predominantly forms bialkyl and product. By combining these two unselective catalysts, a tunable, general system results because excess radical formed by the terpyridine catalyst can be converted to product by the bipyridine catalyst. As the aryl bromide becomes more electron rich, the optimal ratio shifts to have more of the bipyridine nickel catalyst. Lastly, examination of a variety of flow-cell configurations establishes that batch recirculation can achieve higher productivity (mmol product/time/electrode area) than single-pass, that high flow rates are essential to maximizing current, and that two flow cells in parallel can nearly halve the reaction time. The resulting reaction is demonstrated on gram scale and should be scalable to kilogram scale.

Abstract
![]()
A strategy for both
cross-electrophile coupling and 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization
of olefins has been developed. Carbon-centered radicals are generated
from alkyl bromides by merging benzophenone hydrogen atom transfer
(HAT) photocatalysis and silyl radical-induced halogen atom transfer
(XAT) and are subsequently intercepted by a nickel catalyst to forge
the targeted C(sp3)–C(sp2) and C(sp3)–C(sp3) bonds. The mild protocol is fast
and scalable using flow technology, displays broad functional group
tolerance, and is amenable to a wide variety of medicinally relevant
moieties. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the ketone catalyst,
upon photoexcitation, is responsible for the direct activation of
the silicon-based XAT reagent (HAT-mediated XAT) that furnishes the
targeted alkyl radical and is ultimately involved in the turnover
of the nickel catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Metallaphotoredox catalysis is a powerful and versatile synthetic platform that enables cross-couplings under mild conditions without the need for noble metals. Its growing adoption in drug discovery has translated into an increased interest in sustainable and scalable reaction conditions. Here, we report a continuous-flow approach to metallaphotoredox catalysis using a heterogeneous catalyst that combines the function of a photo- and a nickel catalyst in a single material. The catalyst is embedded in a packed-bed reactor to combine reaction and (catalyst) separation in one step. The use of a packed bed simplifies the translation of optimized batch reaction conditions to continuous flow, as the only components present in the reaction mixture are the substrate and a base. The metallaphotoredox cross-coupling of sulfinates with aryl halides was used as a model system. The catalyst was shown to be stable, with a very low decrease of the yield (≈1% per day) during a continuous experiment over seven days, and to be effective for C–O arylations when carboxylic acids are used as nucleophile instead of sulfinates.

Abstract
Introducing the novel concept of amino radical transfer (ART) enables the use of easily accessible and commercially available alkyl boronic esters as cross-coupling partners for aryl halides in dual photoredox/nickel catalysis mediated by visible light. Activation of otherwise photochemically innocent boronic esters by radicals generated from primary or secondary alkylamines gives rise to an outstanding functional group tolerance in a mild, fast, and air-stable reaction. As shown in more than 50 examples including unprotected alcohols, amines, and carboxylic acids, this reaction allows quick access to relevant scaffolds for organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. In comparison with existing methods for C(sp2)-C(sp3) couplings an extraordinary generality could be realized via the ART concept, employing a single set of optimized reaction conditions. Due to its selectivity, the transformation can also be used for late-stage functionalization, as demonstrated with three exemplary syntheses of drug molecules. Furthermore, the successful one-to-one scalability of this reaction up to gram scale without the necessity of any further precautions or flow systems is demonstrated.

Abstract
One-photon-absorbing photosensitizers are commonly used in homogeneous photocatalysis which require the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) /visible light to populate the desired excited states with adequate energy and lifetime. Nevertheless, the limited penetration depth and competing absorption by organic substrates of UV/visible light calls upon exploring the utilization of longer-wavelength irradiation, such as near-infrared light (λirr > 700 nm). Despite being found applications in photodynamic therapy and bioimaging, two-photon absorption (TPA), the simultaneous absorption of two photons by one molecule, has been rarely explored in homogeneous photocatalysis. Herein, we report a group of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes possessing TPA capability that can drive a variety of organic transformations upon irradiation with 740 nm light. We demonstrate that these TPA ruthenium complexes can operate in an analogous manner as one-photon-absorbing photosensitizers for both energy-transfer and photoredox reactions, as well as function in concert with a transition metal co-catalyst for metallaphotoredox C-C coupling reactions.

Abstract
A sustainable strategy for the alkylation of heterocycles is presented. The protocol relies on the in situ generation and further in-line use of alkyl zinc sulfinates through a continuous-flow system. The environmentally friendly character of the protocol is assured by the use of a green solvent mixture, the presence of a metal free oxidant and low waste generation.

Abstract
Indazole and pyrazole are renowned as a prodigious class of heterocycles having versatile uses in medicinal as well as industrial chemistry. Considering sustainable approaches, recently, photocatalysis has become an indispensable tool in organic chemistry due to its application for the activation of small molecules and the use of a clean energy source. In this review, we have highlighted the use of metal-based photocatalysts, organic photoredox catalysts, energy transfer photocatalysts and electron-donor-acceptor complexes in the functionalization of indazole and pyrazole. This perspective is arranged based on the types of functionalization reactions on indazole and pyrazole. A detailed discussion regarding the reaction mechanism of each reaction is given to provide a comprehensive guide to the reader. Finally, a summary of existing challenges and the future outlook towards the development of efficient photocatalytic methods for functionalization of these heterocycles is also presented.

Abstract
Photoinduced chemical transformations have received in recent years a tremendous amount of attention, providing a plethora of opportunities to synthetic organic chemists. However, performing a photochemical transformation can be quite a challenge because of various issues related to the delivery of photons. These challenges have barred the widespread adoption of photochemical steps in the chemical industry. However, in the past decade, several technological innovations have led to more reproducible, selective, and scalable photoinduced reactions. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of these exciting technological advances, including flow chemistry, high-throughput experimentation, reactor design and scale-up, and the combination of photo- and electro-chemistry.
