Photocatalytic C-H activation for C-N/C-S bond formation over highly efficient solar light active supramolecular network organogels

Abstract

Although using solar energy for pharmaceutical manufacture presents hurdles, the potential benefits in terms of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and technical innovation make it an exciting path for the scientific community to investigate and develop further. We present a highly efficient solar light active supramolecular network organogels as a photocatalyst. The as-prepared PVA@RhB and PVA@RhB@OG organogels as a photocatalyst catalytic materials were used to create C-N and C-S bonds for drug intermediates and value-added products because of their high bond energy, low polarity, and strong inertia C-H bond activation. The current research work sets a new standard for the environmentally friendly, highly selective C-H activation for the production of C-N/C-S bonds under solar light.

Graphical Abstract

Synthesized PVA@RhB@OG organogels photocatalyst possess remarkable photocatalytic activity towards solar light driven aerobic oxidative cyclization reactions and promotes C-N and C-S bond formation through C-H bond activation. In aerobic oxidative cyclization 3,5-diphenyl 1,2,4-thiadiazole synthesized with the advantages of maximum productivity, long- term viability, and eco- conscious reagents i.e., light, and air.
