Abstract

Abstract:

As an important part of the photo-oxidation reaction, electron transfer photooxygenation reaction developed rapidly with the study of photoinduced electron transfer reaction. At present, transition metal complexes mediated visible light photocatalysis, derived mainly from photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reaction, has become a research hot spot. According to the difference of photosensitizers and the active oxygen species involved in the photooxygenation, several reaction models were classified, and their possible reaction mechanisms and applications in organic chemistry were introduced. This paper mainly discusses the different types of photosensitizer-induced electron transfer photo-oxidation reactions, including cyano aromatic photosensitizers, onium salt photosensitizers, metal complex photosensitizers and organic dye photosensitizers.

Key words: photo-oxidation, photoinduced electron transfer, excited state, organic synthesis
