Visible light dye-photosensitised oxidation of pyrroles using a simple LED photoreactor
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 22:41 authored by Howard, J, Rihak, KJ, Hyland, CJT, Alexander BissemberAlexander Bissember, Jason SmithJason SmithThe photooxidation of pyrrole is typically low yielding due to the absorbance of ultraviolet light, which leads to uncontrolled polymerisation and decomposition. Presented herein is the development of a simple and cost-effective photoreactor utilising Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as the light source, and its application to the dye-sensitised oxidation of a range of pyrroles to give corresponding 3-pyrrolin-2-ones. The broader applicability of this approach to the generation of 1O2 is also explored.
