This article explores the use of organic photocatalysts (OPCs) in photoredox catalysis, a method for achieving molecular transformations under mild conditions. The authors focus on developing highly reducing OPCs as an alternative to expensive noble-metal-based catalysts. They specifically study small aromatics with two diarylamino termini as OPCs, which have shown promising redox abilities. The article also discusses the applications of these OPCs in regioselective radical fluoroalkylation reactions, which are useful for synthesizing fluorine-containing compounds. The authors investigate different photocatalysts and fluoroalkylating reagents to induce these reactions, highlighting the potential of these sustainable organic synthesis methods.
