Upscaling Photoredox Cross-Coupling Reactions in Batch Using Immersion-Well Reactors

Abstract

Herein we describe a straightforward approach for the scale-up of photoredox cross-coupling reactions from milligram to multigram scale using immersion-well batch reactors with minimal reoptimization of the reaction conditions. This approach can be applied to both homogeneous and, more significantly, heterogeneous reaction mixtures. Furthermore, we have used an immersion-well side-loop reactor to perform a reaction on a 400 mmol scale (86 g of aryl bromide).
