The dawn of old stars: Classic xanthene dyes like eosin Y (gr. εoς=goddess of dawn) and green‐light irradiation can replace precious metal complexes for the organocatalytic asymmetric α‐alkylation of aldehydes, thus rendering the process purely organic.

Iron mediated catalytic reactions are of great interest in the field of organic synthesis because they are economic and naturally abundant. However, the use of iron catalyst in the field of free radicalcyclization or reduction of alkyl halides remains limited. Here we describe the use of an unprecedented combination of iron and zinc in the reduction and 5‐exo‐trig radicalcyclization of alkyl halides

We report an operationally simple, tin-free reductive dehalogenation system utilizing the well-known visible-light-activated photoredox catalyst Ru(bpy)(3)Cl(2) in combination with (i)Pr(2)NEt and HCO(2)H or Hantzsch ester as the hydrogen atom donor. Activated C-X bonds may be reduced in good yields with excellent functional-group tolerance and chemoselectivity over aryl and vinyl C-X bonds. The proposed

Applications of microflow conditions for visiblelight photoredox catalysis have successfully been developed. Operationally simple microreactor and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) tube reactor systems enable significant improvement of several photoredox reactions using different photocatalysts such as [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and Eosin Y. Apart from rate acceleration, this approach facilitates previously

base photosensitizers were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their photoreac-tivity. Three main factors were shown to lead to these increased yields: i) the red-shifted absorbance of polynuclear photosensitizers, ii) the more favorable driving force for electron transfer, characterized by more positive E1/2(Ru2+*/+) and iii) a smaller population of the 3MC state (< 0.5 % for D1, T1 and
