Copper Catalyst Activation Driven by Photoinduced Electron Transfer: A Prototype Photolatent Click Catalyst

PET cat. While the copper(II) tren ketoprofenate precatalyst 1 (see picture) is inactive at room temperature in methanol, it is quantitatively and rapidly reduced to its cuprous state upon light irradiation to provide a highly reactive click catalyst. By simply introducing air into the reaction medi...
