Organic photoredox chemistry in flow

Abstract

The recent movement toward greener, more sustainable chemistry has led to the emergence of photoredox chemistry, capable of catalyzing a wide berth of chemical transformations by channeling the energy of light to reach otherwise unobtainable levels of reactivity and selectivity. A recent parallel development in the field of flow chemistry has led to the enhancement of reactivity and productivity of these photoredox processes, making it a practical method for organic synthesis. This chapter discusses recent advances in the field of organic photoredox chemistry whose reactivity or productivity has been enhanced by flow chemistry.
