Reassessing the Photochemical Upcycling of Polystyrene Using Acridinium Salts.

Polystyrene (PS) is a commodity plastic recalcitrant to chemical recycling or upcycling processes. Approaches aimed at deconstructing PS by photocatalytic means struggle to generate high-energy species capable of cleaving the robust C-H and C-C bonds of PS. We show that 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate (MA) is capable of upcycling various grades of PS substrates into up to 40 % benzoic acid (BAc), formic acid (FA) and small proportions of acetophenone (ACP), under visible light (456 nm) or through solar radiation.

Herein, we report a metal-free, organophotoredox-catalyzed sustainable C-H thiocyanation of a biologically active class of N-heterocycles, pyrazolo[1,5-]pyrimidines, with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate as the photocatalyst (PC) and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant under blue-light-emitting diode irradiation at room temperature. The developed catalytic protocol features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, a high yield of products, and a straightforward scalability. Mechanistic studies revealed a radical pathway involving reductive quenching of the PC by KSCN.

Article Synopsis
- Visible light-induced polymerization is a sustainable method for producing high-quality polymers, boasting yields of up to 99% and molecular weights reaching 71,000 g/mol.
- The process involves using dithioacids and diamines as monomers along with a specific organic photoredox catalyst (Mes-Acr-MeBF).
- This approach allows for the creation of structurally diverse polyamides in air, operating under mild conditions without the need for additional metals, bases, or additives.
Chemodivergent Chalcogenation of Aryl Alkynoates or -Arylpropynamides Using 9-Mesityl-10-Methylacridinium Perchlorate Photocatalyst.

Herein we report a cascaded chalcogenation of aryl alkynoates or -arylpropynamides using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate as a visible light photocatalyst to obtain selectively either 3-sulfenylated/selenylated coumarins or spiro[4,5]trienones. In a radical initiated process, the spiro-cyclization reaction was favored due to the presence of a -OMe or -F substituent at the para position of the aryl group, which helped to stabilize the allylic radical intermediate formed during the reaction. Otherwise, 6-endo-trig cyclization led to 3-sulfenylated/selenylated coumarins.

Herein, we demonstrate a regioselective intramolecular C-N cross-coupling for the synthesis of 14-quinazolino[3,2-]phenanthridin-14-one by using 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate as the visible-light (450-470 nm) photocatalyst. The experiments with BHT, TEMPO, and Stern-Volmer quenching studies helped to rationalize a radical pathway a SET mechanism.
