A Laser Driven Flow Chemistry Platform for Scaling Photochemical Reactions with Visible Light.

ABSTRACT: Visible-light-promoted organic reactions can offer increased reactivity and selectivity via unique reaction pathways to address a multitude of practical synthetic problems, yet few practical solutions exist to employ these reactions for multikilogram production. We have developed a simple and versatile continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) equipped with a high-intensity laser to drive photochemical reactions at unprecedented rates in continuous flow, achieving kg/day throughput using a 100 mL reactor. Our approach to flow reactor design uses the Beer-Lambert law as a guideline to optimize catalyst concentration and reactor depth for maximum throughput. This laser CSTR platform coupled with the rationale for design can be applied to a breadth of photochemical reactions.

Visible Light-Mediated Photochemical Reactions of 2-(2'-Alkenyloxy)cycloalk-2-enones.

Project description:The title compounds were prepared, and their reactivity was studied upon sensitized irradiation at λ = 420 nm. Thioxanthen-9-one was employed as the sensitizer at a loading of 10 mol % in small-scale reactions and of 2.5 mol % on a larger scale. Cyclohex-2-enones substituted by a 2'-propenyloxy, 2'-butenyloxy, 2'-pentenyloxy, or 2'-methyl-2'-propenyloxy group in the 2-position gave the products of an intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloadditon. The reaction proceeded with high regioselectivity (crossed product) and perfect diastereoselectivity (nine examples, 34-99% yield). If the olefin in the tether was trisubstituted (3'-methyl-2'-butenyloxy), no cycloaddition was observed. Rather, a cyclization with subsequent hydrogen abstraction occurred (three examples, 65-86% yield). The results are consistent with a reaction course via a triplet enone intermediate and the formation of a 1,4-diradical by an initial cyclization. The analogous cyclopent-2-enones were less prone to an intramolecular reaction. Instead, decomposition or intermolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions prevailed. In the latter event, two main products were identified (three examples, 30-43% yield), resulting either from a head-to-head [2 + 2]-photodimerization or from a twofold [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of the enone to the olefin. The latter reaction sequence generated pentacyclic products with a central [1,5]dioxocane ring. The structure assignment of the two product types was corroborated by a single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Visible Light-Promoted Beckmann Rearrangements: Separating Sequential Photochemical and Thermal Phenomena in a Continuous Flow Reactor.

Project description:The Beckmann rearrangement of oximes to amides typically requires strong acids or highly reactive, hazardous electrophiles and/or elevated temperatures to proceed. A very attractive alternative is the in situ generation of Vilsmeier-Haack reagents, by means of photoredox catalysis, as promoters for the thermal Beckmann rearrangement. Investigation of the reaction parameters for this light-induced method using a one-pot strategy has shown that the reaction is limited by the different temperatures required for each of the two sequential steps. Using a continuous flow reactor, the photochemical and thermal processes have been separated by integrating a flow photoreactor unit at low temperature for the electrophile generation with a second reactor unit, at high temperature, where the rearrangement takes place. This strategy has enabled excellent conversions and yields for a diverse set of oximes, minimizing the formation of side products obtained with the original one-pot method.

Suppressing photochemical reactions with quantized light fields.

Project description:Photoisomerization, that is, a photochemical reaction leading to a change of molecular structure after absorption of a photon, can have detrimental effects such as leading to DNA damage under solar irradiation, or as a limiting factor for the efficiency of solar cells. Here, we show that strong coupling of organic molecules to a confined light mode can be used to strongly suppress photoisomerization, as well as other photochemical reactions, and thus convert molecules that normally show fast photodegradation into photostable forms. We find this to be especially efficient in the case of collective strong coupling, where the distribution of a single excitation over many molecules and the light mode leads to a collective protection effect that almost completely suppresses the photochemical reaction.

Visible light photonic integrated Brillouin laser.

Project description:Narrow linewidth visible light lasers are critical for atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics including atomic clocks, quantum computing, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and sensing. Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a promising approach to realize highly coherent on-chip visible light laser emission. Here we report demonstration of a visible light photonic integrated Brillouin laser, with emission at 674 nm, a 14.7 mW optical threshold, corresponding to a threshold density of 4.92 mW μm-2, and a 269 Hz linewidth. Significant advances in visible light silicon nitride/silica all-waveguide resonators are achieved to overcome barriers to SBS in the visible, including 1 dB/meter waveguide losses, 55.4 million quality factor (Q), and measurement of the 25.110 GHz Stokes frequency shift and 290 MHz gain bandwidth. This advancement in integrated ultra-narrow linewidth visible wavelength SBS lasers opens the door to compact quantum and atomic systems and implementation of increasingly complex AMO based physics and experiments.

Visible light driven generation and alkyne insertion reactions of stable bis-cyclometalated Pt(iv) hydrides.

Project description:Hydride complexes resulting from the oxidative addition of C-H bonds are intermediates in hydrocarbon activation and functionalization reactions. The discovery of metal systems that enable their direct formation through photoexcitation with visible light could lead to advantageous synthetic methodologies. In this study, easily accessible dimers [Pt2(μ-Cl)2(C^N)2] (C^N = cyclometalated 2-arylpyridine) are demonstrated as a very convenient source of Pt(C^N) subunits, which promote photooxidative C-H addition reactions with different 2-arylpyridines (N'^C'H) upon irradiation with blue light. The resulting [PtH(Cl)(C^N)(C'^N')] complexes are the first isolable Pt(iv) hydrides arising from a cyclometalation reaction. A transcyclometalation process involving three photochemical steps is elucidated, which occurs when the C^N ligand is a monocyclometalated 2,6-diarylpyridine, and a detailed analysis of the photoreactivity associated with the Pt(C^N) moiety is provided. Alkyne insertions into the Pt-H bond of a photogenerated Pt(iv) hydride are also reported as a demonstration of the ability of this class of compounds to undergo subsequent organometallic reactions.

Photochemical Mechanism of Light-Driven Fatty Acid Photodecarboxylase.

Project description:Fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP) is a promising target for the production of biofuels and fine chemicals. It contains a flavin adenine dinucleotide cofactor and catalyzes the blue-light-dependent decarboxylation of fatty acids to generate the corresponding alkane. However, little is known about the catalytic mechanism of FAP, or how light is used to drive enzymatic decarboxylation. Here, we have used a combination of time-resolved and cryogenic trapping UV-visible absorption spectroscopy to characterize a red-shifted flavin intermediate observed in the catalytic cycle of FAP. We show that this intermediate can form below the "glass transition" temperature of proteins, whereas the subsequent decay of the species proceeds only at higher temperatures, implying a role for protein motions in the decay of the intermediate. Solvent isotope effect measurements, combined with analyses of selected site-directed variants of FAP, suggest that the formation of the red-shifted flavin species is directly coupled with hydrogen atom transfer from a nearby active site cysteine residue, yielding the final alkane product. Our study suggests that this cysteine residue forms a thiolate-flavin charge-transfer species, which is assigned as the red-shifted flavin intermediate. Taken together, our data provide insights into light-dependent decarboxylase mechanisms catalyzed by FAP and highlight important considerations in the (re)design of flavin-based photoenzymes.

Visible light-driven CdSe nanotube array photocatalyst.

Project description:Large-scale CdSe nanotube arrays on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass have been synthesized using ZnO nanorod template. The strong visible light absorption in CdSe, its excellent photoresponse, and the large surface area associated with the tubular morphology lead to good visible light-driven photocatalytic capability of these nanotube arrays. Compared to freestanding nanoparticles, such one-piece nanotube arrays on ITO make it very convenient for catalyst recycling after their usage.

Organocatalyzed Birch Reduction Driven by Visible Light.

Project description:The Birch reduction is a powerful synthetic methodology that uses solvated electrons to convert inert arenes to 1,4-cyclohexadienes-valuable intermediates for building molecular complexity. Birch reductions traditionally employ alkali metals dissolved in ammonia to produce a solvated electron for the reduction of unactivated arenes such as benzene (Ered < -3.42 V vs SCE). Photoredox catalysts have been gaining popularity in highly reducing applications, but none have been reported to demonstrate reduction potentials powerful enough to reduce benzene. Here, we introduce benzo[ghi]perylene imides as new organic photoredox catalysts for Birch reductions performed at ambient temperature and driven by visible light from commercially available LEDs. Using low catalyst loadings (<1 mol percent), benzene and other functionalized arenes were selectively transformed to 1,4-cyclohexadienes in moderate to good yields in a completely metal-free reaction. Mechanistic studies support that this unprecedented visible-light-induced reactivity is enabled by the ability of the organic photoredox catalyst to harness the energy from two visible-light photons to affect a single, high-energy chemical transformation.

Redox-neutral photochemical Heck-type arylation of vinylphenols activated by visible light.

Project description:Disclosed herein is a photochemical Heck-type arylation of vinylphenols with non-activated aryl and heteroaryl halides under visible light irradiation. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the colored vinylphenolate anions acted as a strong reducing photoactivator to directly activate (hetero)aryl halides without the need for any sacrificial reductants. The photochemically generated aryl radicals coupled with another molecule of vinylphenol to afford the Heck-type arylation product in a regiospecific and stereoselective manner. The developed photochemical arylation protocol showed exceptional functional group tolerance and was successfully applied in the challenging late-stage modification of natural products without any protection-deprotection procedures.

Into the Blue: Ketene Multicomponent Reactions under Visible Light.

Project description:For the first time, a detailed study on the photophysical properties of variously substituted diazoketones and on their photoreactivity under blue LED irradiation was carried out. Despite very limited absorbance in the visible region, we have demonstrated that, independently from their structure, α-diazoketones all undergo a very efficient Wolff rearrangement. Contrarily to the same UV-mediated reaction, where photons can give rise to side processes, in this case, almost all absorbed photons are selective and effective, and the quantum yield is close to 100%. If the rearrangement is carried out in the presence of isocyanides and carboxylic acids/silanols, the photoreactivity is not affected, and the resulting ketenes can afford α-acyloxy- and α-silyloxyacrylamides through two distinct multicomponent reactions, performed both in batch and under continuous flow, with improved selectivity and broader scope. These photoinduced multicomponent reactions can be coupled with other visible-light-mediated transformations, thus increasing the diversity of the molecules obtainable by this approach.
