[5,15-Bis(pentafluorophenyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]zinc(II) (1), a metalloporphyrin derivative that was recently reported as an efficient photocatalyst driven by blue LEDs by our group, was found to catalyze a red-light-promoted (630 nm LEDs) radical cascade reaction of N-3-arylpropionyloxyphthalimides with radicophiles including electron-deficient alkenes and alkynes, providing access to a range of functionalized tetralin and dialin derivatives. The radical cascade reaction catalyzed by 1 took place via an oxidative quenching cycle in DMSO, where no sacrificial electron donor was required, uncovering a unique solvent effect capable of promoting the porphyrin catalysis.
