Synthesis of a novel tetra-phenol π-extended phenazine and its application as an organo-photocatalyst

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Jan 11;60(5):602-605. doi: 10.1039/d3cc05176e.

Abstract

In this paper, the synthesis of a novel tetra-phenol π-extended dihydrophenazine is reported. The obtained derivative presents marked reducing properties in the excited state and was exploited as an organo-photocatalyst in dehalogenation and C-C bond formation reactions. These results underline the great potential of functionalized π-extended dihydrophenazines as organo-photocatalysts.
