Visible‐light photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for organic transformations in
recent years. The traditional reliance on transition metal‐based complexes as photocatalysts …

Aryl amination is an essential transformation for medicinal, process, and materials chemistry.
In addition to classic Buchwald–Hartwig amination conditions, blue-light-driven …

Electron‐deficient acridones and in situ generated acridinium salts are reported as potent,
closed‐shell photooxidants that undergo surprising mechanisms. When bridging acyclic …

Heterogeneous photocatalysis combines the benefits of light‐mediated chemistry with that of
a catalytic platform that facilitates re‐use of (often expensive) photocatalysts. This provides …

Herein, we show that there is significant variation in both the triplet energies and redox
properties of photocatalysts as a function of solvent based on a study of eight PCs in four …

Photoredox catalysis is a powerful tool to access challenging and diverse syntheses.
Absorption of visible light forms the excited state catalyst (* PC) but photons may be wasted …

2, 3-Diamines are skeleton structures widely found in natural products and drug molecules
and can also be used as ligands in transition metal catalysis. A novel visible light-driven …

The abundance, structural diversity, and versatility of ketones give prominence to this
carbonyl functional group in synthetic chemistry. The assembly of ketones via the …

Sacrificial additives are commonly employed in photoredox catalysis as a convenient source
of electrons, but what occurs after electron transfer is often overlooked. Tertiary alkylamines …

The 4.5 year academic–industrial collaboration between the process chemistry group at Lilly
and the Stephenson group (Boston University and University of Michigan) is summarized …
