Application

9-Mesityl-3,6-di-tert-butyl-10-phenylacridinium tetrafluoroborate is an acridium-based photocatalyst that can be an alternative to transition-metal-based photocatalysts due to its higher chemical stability and attenuated redox potential.
When employed with TEMPO, this acridinium photocatalyst promotes the site-selective amination of a variety of simple and complex aromatics with heteroaromatic azoles. When ammonium carbamate is used as the amine, anilines can be achieved directly.

Product can be used with our line of photoreactors: Including Penn PhD (Z744035) & SynLED 2.0 (Z744080)

Nicewicz Group – Professor Product Portal

The Nicewicz lab is focused on the discovery of new and powerful reaction methodologies that proceed via the intermediacy of highly reactive cation radical species. Included in these transformations are anti-Markovnikov selective additions of amines, alcohols, carboxylic acids, amides and mineral acids to alkenes.

Photoredox Catalysis

Photoredox catalysis utilizes photocatalysts in the presence of visible light to form an array of synthetic transformations including, but not limited to, cross-coupling, C-H functionalization, alkene and arene functionalization, and trifluoromethylation.
