Outline of Final Research Achievements

“Photoredox catalysis”, where versatile organic radicals species are generated by the action of one-electron transfer processes mediated by photo-activated catalysts, has attracted much attention from the viewpoint of “Green Chemistry” but much room remains to be studied such as development of new transformations, new precursors, and various types of catalysts. Our attention has been paid to the following aspects, which have been solved by the present study: development of i) regiospecific olefin difunctionalization, ii) design and synthesis of new precursors for various organic radicals, and iii) organic catalysts.
