An Electrochemical Cell for Electron-Primed Photoredox Catalysis: Low-Volume Enables Rapid Discovery of New Chemical Reactions

摘要

New chemical reaction methods allow chemists to push the boundaries of traditional organic synthesis. Collaboration between, glassblowing, machine, and electronics shops provided equipment necessary to enable the discovery of a new catalytic paradigm for organic synthesis; electron-primed photoredox. Crucially, a low-volume glass electrochemical cell was developed to enhance reaction throughput. A simple design results in an inexpensive product that fulfills a need unmet by today s commercial market.
