Development of anthrazoline photocatalysts for promoting amination and amidation reactions

In this work, we synthesized and determined the optical and electrochemical properties of a series of organophotocatalysts each bearing an anthrazoline framework, as well as demonstrated their catalytic competencies in promoting C-N bond formation by leveraging photoredox catalysis. The chosen anthrazoline photocatalyst allowed for access to diverse amines and amides in good to excellent yields (up to 96%).
