The focus of this review is to provide an overview of the field of organocatalysed photoredox chemistry relevant to synthetic medicinal chemistry. Photoredox transformations have been shown to enable key transformations that are important to the pharmaceutical industry. This type of chemistry has also demonstrated a high degree of sustainability, especially when organic dyes can be employed in place of often toxic and environmentally damaging transition metals. The sections are arranged according to the general class of the presented reactions and the value of these methods to medicinal chemistry is considered. An overview of the general characteristics of the photocatalysts as well as some electrochemical data is presented. In addition, the general reaction mechanisms for organocatalysed photoredox transformations are discussed and some individual mechanistic considerations are highlighted in the text when appropriate.

Abstract:: Organic synthesis under environment friendly conditions has great impact in the sustainable development. In this context, visible light photocatalysis has emerged as a green model as this offers an energy-efficient pathway towards the organic transformation. Different transition-metal catalysts (Ir-, Ru-, Cu- etc) and organic dyes (eosin Y, rose bengal, methylene blue etc) are well-known photocatalysts in organic synthesis. Apart from the well-known organophotoredox catalysts, rhodamines (Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 6G) have been also employed as efficient photocatalysts for different organic transformations. In this review, we will focus on the photocatalysis by rhodamines in organic synthesis. Mechanistic pathway of the methodologies will also be discussed. We believe this review will stimulate the employment of rhodamines in the visible light photocatalysis for efficient organic transformations in the future.

Visible-light photoredox catalysis offers a distinct activation mode complementary to thermal transition metal catalyzed reactions. The vast majority of photoredox processes capitalizes on precious metal ruthenium(II) or iridium(III) complexes that serve as single-electron reductants or oxidants in their photoexcited states. As a low-cost alternative, organic dyes are also frequently used but in general suffer from lower photostability. Copper-based photocatalysts are rapidly emerging, offering not only economic and ecological advantages but also otherwise inaccessible inner-sphere mechanisms, which have been successfully applied to challenging transformations. Moreover, the combination of conventional photocatalysts with copper(I) or copper(II) salts has emerged as an efficient dual catalytic system for cross-coupling reactions.
