5-Hydroxymethylfurfural-Derived Boron-Dipyrromethene Immobilized on Resin Support as a Sustainable Catalyst for C-H Arylation of Heterocycles.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used as a sustainable raw material in the development of a resin-supported boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based photocatalyst. In the development of the catalyst, the brominated product (HMF-BODIPY-Br) and photocatalyst (HMF-BODIPY-Br-Suc) were isolated under a chromatography-free condition. The photocatalyst was loaded on polymeric resin by bridging alcohol functionality in HMF and amine functionality in polymeric resin using succinic anhydride.
