New Synthetic Route to an Highly Efficient Photoredox Catalyst by Mechanosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Photoredox catalysis based on the [Cu(neo)(DPEphos)]BF₄ copper complex allowed getting a significant improvement of the polymerization performances (e.g., thick samples, coatings...) compared to that obtained with other benchmarked photoinitiators in both cationic (CP) and free radical polymerizations (FRP). Nevertheless, as for other copper complexes classically used as photoinitiators in polymer science, the synthesis of these complexes is carried out in a solvent; this fact remains an obstacle to their widespread use because of the cost associated with the use of a solvent and the complex synthesis procedure. In the present study, on the contrary, an outstanding efficient mechanosynthesis of [Cu(neo)(DPEphos)]BF₄-purity ?95% outranking the previous Cu(I) mechanosynthesis-allowed (i) to divide the synthesis time by 170-fold (as only 5 min is necessary to get the complex), (ii) to lower the environmental impact and cut the synthetic costs associated with solvent usage, and (iii) to access a new Cu(I) complex with a counteranion that is impossible to introduce under the traditional chemistry methods (e.g., I^-). Reactivities of the mechanosynthesized copper complexes in resins (FRP and CP) confirmed the very high purity of the obtained copper complex by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

Project description:A new strategy to achieve efficient aerobic phosphorylation of five-membered heteraroenes with excellent yields using dichromatic photoredox catalysis in a gel-based nanoreactor is described here. The procedure involves visible aerobic irradiation (cold white LEDs) of a mixture containing the heteroarene halide, trisubstituted phospite, N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as sacrificial agent, and catalytic amounts of 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA) in the presence of an adequate gelator, which permits a faster process than at the homogeneous phase. The methodology, which operates by a consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (ConPET) mechanism, has been successfully applied to the straightforward and clean synthesis of a number of different heteroarene (furan, thiophene, selenophene, pyrrole, oxazole, or thioxazole) phosphonates, extending to the late-stage phosphonylation of the anticoagulant rivaroxaban. Strategically, employment of cold white light is critical since it provides both selective wavelengths for exciting first DCA (blue region) and subsequently its corresponding radical anion DCA•- (green region). The resultant strongly reducing excited agent DCA•-* is capable of even activate five-membered heteroarene halides (Br, Cl) with high reduction potentials (∼-2.7 V) to effect the C(sp2)-P bond formation. Spectroscopic and thermodynamic studies have supported the proposed reaction mechanism. Interestingly, the rate of product formation has been clearly enhanced in gel media because reactants can be presumably localized not only in the solvent pools but also through to the fibers of the viscoelastic gel network. This has been confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy images where a marked densification of the network has been observed, modifying its fibrillary morphology. Finally, rheological measurements have shown the resistance of the gel network to the incorporation of the reactants and the formation of the desired products.
