Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Photoredox catalysis is the most exciting topic in organic chemistry today, because photoredox catalysts can provide unique and environmentally friendly processes for organic synthesis. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to illustrate recent developments on photoinduced reactions with photoredox catalysts. Contributions will focus on a broad range of organic reactions by effective photoredox catalysts.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Photochem is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
A Photoinduced dearomative nucleophilic addition to N-Boc indoles mediated by two-molecule organic photoredox catalysts such as phenanthrene and 1,4-dicyanobenzene with UV irradiation furnished 2-substituted indolines in moderate to quantitative yields. Hydroxide, alkoxide, and cyanide ions can be used as a nucleophile to [...] Read more.
A Photoinduced dearomative nucleophilic addition to N-Boc indoles mediated by two-molecule organic photoredox catalysts such as phenanthrene and 1,4-dicyanobenzene with UV irradiation furnished 2-substituted indolines in moderate to quantitative yields. Hydroxide, alkoxide, and cyanide ions can be used as a nucleophile to provide 2-hydroxy, 2-alkoxy, and 2-cyanoindolines, respectively. Both electron-rich and -deficient indoles, including tryptophan derivatives, can be employed in the photoreaction to provide various indolines. This method provides transition-metal-free access to 2-subsituted indolines from indoles using organic photoredox catalysts under mild conditions. Full article

Visible light organophotoredox catalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for organic synthetic transformations since it works brilliantly in tandem with organic substrates and has been known to create unique chemical environment for organic transformations. Dicyanopyrazine (DPZ), a relatively lesser researched organophotoredox catalyst, has shown great potential through its catalytic activity in organic synthesis and necessitates attention of synthetic community.
