A photoflow reactor for the continuous photoredox-mediated synthesis of C-glycoamino acids and C-glycolipids

Abstract

Go with the flow: A simple flow reactor has been developed to accommodate highly absorbing [RuL 3] 2+ photosensitizers for light-starved photoredox reactions (see picture). The use of vessels having a thin diameter increases the efficiency of the reaction. This methodology has been applied to the divergent synthesis of C-glycoconjugates.
